Abstract
In a broad sense, electric automobiles refer to the motor vehicles based on electric drive, which can be divided into electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles and other electric-driven vehicles in terms of energy consumed, and into centralized drive vehicles and distributed drive vehicles in terms of power system layout. As the most common mode for internal combustion engine automobiles, centralized drive was designed based on traditional vehicles; its power acts on the wheels through clutch, transmission, drive shaft, differential mechanism, half axle, etc. This sort of design maintains the compatibility between electric automobiles and traditional internal combustion engine automobiles to the maximal extent, which is mainly adopted by hybrid electric automobiles. However, its disadvantages, including large quantity of drive parts, low drive efficiency and complex control, are showing up themselves due to the restriction of traditional automobile design concept; on the contrary, the advantages of electric vehicles, including less mechanical drive links, short drive chain and flexible layout, are gradually discovered, with the constant deepening of design concept for electric automobiles and progress in developing electric drive system. With distributed drive, such drive parts as clutch, transmission, drive shaft, differential mechanism and half axle are spared and the drive motor can directly be installed in or near the driving wheel. As this brand-new chassis form designed for electric automobiles according to the motor characteristics greatly promotes the transformation of automobile structure, it has become a hot spot in research and design.
