Several hybrid architectures have been widely used in hybrid electric vehicles. For example, power-split architecture brings seamless operation, while parallel architecture makes the internal combustion engine directly drive the wheel. To combine the advantages of various architectures, this study aims to develop a design approach to create a transmission mechanism that has multiple configurations and uses these configurations to achieve several hybrid architectures. First, this study standardized hybrid transmission mechanisms using the Function Power Graph; this powerful and intuitive tool inspired several elements and an element layout for the new mechanisms. Then, several configurations with up to five elements were enumerated and organized into the databases. Next, the mechanisms with multiple configurations and a limited number of clutching units (clutches or brakes) were evaluated, 10 of which were identified as the best group that provided five parallel configurations, two 2-motor electric vehicle configurations, and a power-split configuration. At the end of this paper, a novel hybrid transmission mechanism was developed as a demonstration. It provides higher power and torque at the output but there is no need to use the larger internal combustion engine or motor-generators. This mechanism also enables the internal combustion engine to drive in overdrive parallel architectures to avoid the loss in energy conversion when the power-split architecture is not required. As a result, after a designer specifies the desired hybrid configurations, follows the procedure, and uses the configuration databases built in this study, a novel hybrid transmission mechanism will be created.

一种多配置混合动力传动机构的设计方法

几种混合架构已广泛应用于混合动力电动汽车。例如，动力分流架构带来无缝运行，而并行架构则让内燃机直接驱动车轮。为了结合各种架构的优点，本研究旨在开发一种设计方法来创建具有多种配置的传动机构，并使用这些配置来实现多种混合架构。首先，本研究使用函数功率图对混合动力传输机制进行了标准化；这个强大而直观的工具激发了新机制的几个元素和元素布局。然后，列举了多达五个元素的几种配置并将其组织到数据库中。下一个，对具有多种配置和有限数量的离合器单元（离合器或制动器）的机构进行了评估，其中 10 个被确定为提供五个并联配置、两个 2 电机电动汽车配置和一个动力分配配置的最佳组。在本文的最后，开发了一种新颖的混合动力传动机构作为演示。它在输出端提供更高的功率和扭矩，但不需要使用更大的内燃机或电动发电机。这种机制还使内燃机能够以超速并行架构驱动，以避免在不需要功率分流架构时能量转换的损失。因此，在设计人员指定所需的混合配置后，按照程序，
