Abstract：Power interruptions and impacts during shifting are the main reasons restricting large-scale applications of multi-gear transmissions in electric vehicles. This paper presents a non-synchronizer motor-transmission drive system. A hybrid automaton model was used to describe the shifting characteristics using multi-body dynamics. The dynamic characteristics of the model at each stage were then used to design a shifting control strategy with active synchronization of the angular speed and the rotation angle, such that the angular speeds and the angles of the sleeve and the gear ring are precisely synchronized while shifting. Simulations and tests show that the hybrid automaton shifting model predictions are consistent with the actual process and that the shift control strategy enables the non-synchronizer motor-transmission drive system to provide fast, non-impact shifting and shortens the power interruption time to less than 350 ms.
