Transmission efficiency is one of the important indicators for measuring the performance of gears in new energy vehicles. Efficient transmission can not only improve the power output of vehicles, but also reduce energy consumption and extend the driving range. The gears of new energy vehicles have achieved significant improvements in transmission efficiency through various optimization methods in design. The following are specific optimization strategies:

1、 Tooth shape optimization design

1. Variable gear design: By adjusting the gear's displacement coefficient, optimizing the tooth profile, making the gear mesh smoother, reducing friction losses, and improving transmission efficiency.

2. Application of helical gears: helical gears have better meshing performance compared to spur gears, which can reduce noise and vibration, while improving transmission smoothness and efficiency.

2、 Module and tooth number refinement

1. Small module design: On the premise of meeting the strength requirements, small module design is adopted to increase the number of teeth, make the gear mesh tighter, and reduce energy loss.

2. Tooth number matching optimization: By reasonably matching the number of teeth of the gears, the contact area during gear meshing is ensured to be maximized, thereby improving transmission efficiency.

3、 Tooth surface modification technology

1. Micro modification of tooth surface: Micro modification of tooth surface to optimize the distribution of contact stress, reduce local stress concentration, and improve meshing performance and transmission efficiency.

2. Top and root shaping: Properly shape the top and root of the teeth to reduce interference and friction during meshing and improve transmission stability.

4、 Material selection and heat treatment

1. High performance materials: Select materials with high strength and wear resistance, such as high-performance alloy steel, to enhance the load-bearing capacity and transmission efficiency of the gear itself.

2. Advanced heat treatment: Advanced heat treatment processes such as carburizing and nitriding are used to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the tooth surface, extend the service life, and indirectly improve the transmission efficiency.

5、 Optimization of lubrication system

1. Efficient lubrication design: Optimize the lubrication system to ensure that the gears receive sufficient lubrication during operation and reduce friction losses.

2. Lubricating oil selection: Choose lubricating oil with low friction coefficient to further reduce energy loss and improve transmission efficiency.

6、 Lightweight design

1. Structural optimization: By using finite element analysis and other methods, optimize the gear structure, remove excess materials, achieve lightweight, reduce rotational inertia, and improve transmission efficiency.

2. Material lightweighting: Choose lightweight and high-strength materials such as aluminum alloy to reduce gear weight and improve overall vehicle energy efficiency.

7、 Intelligent transmission system

1. Electronic control system: Integrated electronic control system, real-time adjustment of gear meshing status, optimization of transmission ratio, and improvement of transmission efficiency.

2. Sensor feedback: Real time monitoring of gear status using sensors, optimizing transmission strategies through data analysis to ensure efficient transmission.

The gear design of new energy vehicles has significantly improved transmission efficiency through comprehensive optimization of tooth profile, refinement of module and number of teeth, tooth surface modification, material selection and heat treatment, lubrication system optimization, lightweight design, and intelligent transmission system. These innovative designs not only help new energy vehicles achieve more efficient power output, but also contribute significantly to green travel.
