Transmission and drive system of a motor vehicle

A transmission (2) of a motor vehicle includes a first input shaft (7) for a first prime mover (3), a second input shaft (8) for a second prime mover (4), and an output shaft (9). A first sub-transmission (5) includes the first input shaft and a countershaft (11) coupled to the first input shaft (7) via a constant ratio. Gearwheels (16, 17, 18) are arranged on the countershaft, which mesh exclusively into gearwheels (12, 13, 15) arranged coaxially to the first input shaft (7). At least some of these gearwheels mesh into gearwheels (20, 21) arranged on the output shaft (9). Shift elements (A, B, C, D) are associated with the first input shaft (7) as well as with the countershaft (11), which provide either a gear with a first number of instances of gearwheel meshing or a winding-path gear with a second number of instances of gearwheel meshing. A second sub-transmission (6) includes the second input shaft (8), which is designed as a planetary transmission. A ring gear (22) forms the second input shaft (8), and a carrier (23) is coupled to the output shaft (9) via a gearwheel (14) arranged coaxially to the first input shaft (7). Shift elements (F, E) are associated with the planetary transmission, via which a sun gear (24) is fixedly connectable to the housing or the planetary transmission is bringable into direct drive. A sub-transmission coupling of the sub-transmissions is providable via one of the shift elements (A) associated with the countershaft.

A hybrid power train structure for off-road vehicles (ATVs, UTVs and SSVs) uses an internal combustion engine (“ICE”) rotating a crankshaft through a continuously variable transmission (“CVT”) as a primary source of locomotion torque, but also includes a driving/generator motor which, in certain established conditions, can either provide an additional or alternative source of locomotion torque or can harvest electricity from the torque created by the internal combustion engine. The driving/generator motor is an axial flux motor of small size for its relative torque output, which can either be directly coupled to the CVT output shaft or, when additionally used as a starter motor for the ICE in an automatic ICE starting and stopping routine.
