Vehicular differential device
A vehicular differential device includes a differential rotation mechanism, and a torque input member that receives drive torque, the drive torque is distributed and transmitted to a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft. The differential rotation mechanism includes an input gear that rotates as a unit with the torque input member, an output gear that rotates as a unit with the first drive shaft, a first gear and a second gear that rotate as a unit, and a carrier that supports the first gear and the second gear, the carrier being configured to rotate as a unit with the second drive shaft. The gear ratio between the input gear and the first gear is different from that between the output gear and the second gear. During differential rotation, the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft are rotated in opposite directions.
GEAR UNIT FOR A VEHICLE AND POWERTRAIN WITH SUCH A GEAR UNIT
Gear unit with an integral differential arranged between an input shaft and two output shafts, having a first and a second planetary gearset with gearset elements. One gearset element is connected to an epicyclic gear train input, an output of the epicyclic gear train and a stationary component of the gear unit. A first gearset element is connected to the input shaft, a second gearset element is connected to the first output shaft, and a third gearset element is connected to a first gearset element of the second planetary gearset. A second gearset element is connectible to a second gearset element of the epicyclic gear train. A third gearset element is connected to the second output shaft. A first gearset element of the epicyclic gear train is connected to the input shaft. A third gearset element of the epicyclic gear train is connected to the stationary structural component.

Transmission having a torque vectoring superposition unit
A transmission having input and output shafts and planetary gear sets. Each planetary gear set has multiple elements. The input and output shafts and planetary gear sets are designed so torque introduced via the input shaft is distributed to the output shafts in a defined ratio and a sum torque is prevented. An element of a first planetary gear set is rotationally fixed to another element of a second planetary gear set and another element of the second planetary gear set is secured to a rotationally fixed component. A torque vectoring superposition unit has an epicyclic gearing and two switching elements. The epicyclic gearing has four connection shafts. A first connection shaft is rotationally fixed to the linking shaft. A second connection shaft is rotationally fixed to an output shaft of the first planetary gear set. The switching elements secure a third and fourth connection shaft to a fixed component.
