DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0107] Reference will now be made to embodiments of the invention, one or more examples of which are shown in the drawings. Each embodiment is provided by way of explanation of the invention, and not as a limitation of the invention. For example, features illustrated or described as part of one embodiment can be combined with another embodiment to yield still another embodiment. It is intended that the present invention include these and other modifications and variations to the embodiments described herein.
[0108]
[0109]
[0110] The second transmission input shaft 9 has two ends, namely a first end 11 proximate or pointing toward an outer side 37 of the hybrid transmission device 3 and a second end 13 proximate or pointing toward an inner side 35 of the hybrid transmission device 3.
[0111] A first engagement device 51 is mounted on the transmission input shaft 7 for selectively engaging a third clutch K3 and a gearshift clutch C. A third idler gear 14 is rotationally fixable to the transmission input shaft 7 by the gearshift clutch C. The third idler gear 14 is an idler gear of a third gear step G3.
[0112] On the first transmission input shaft 7, a fourth fixed gear 16 and a fifth fixed gear 18 follow, wherein the fourth fixed gear 16 is a fixed gear of a first gear step G1 and the fifth fixed gear 18 is a fixed gear of a fifth gear step G5.
[0113] The second transmission input shaft 9 is therefore shift element-free and idler gear-free. The first engagement device 51 and a fourth engagement device S4 are arranged on the first transmission input shaft 7. The first engagement device 51 includes the third clutch K3 and the gearshift clutch C and, therefore, is two-sided.
[0114] The first transmission input shaft 7 and of the second transmission input shaft 9 rotate about a first axis of rotation A1.
[0115] The hybrid transmission device 3 includes a single countershaft 22 for connection to a differential 20 and to form the gear stages or gear steps. A second engagement device S2 and a third engagement device S3 are arranged on the countershaft 22 with first gearshift clutch A, second gearshift clutch B, fourth gearshift clutch D, and fifth gearshift clutch E for connecting a first idler gear 24, a second idler gear 26, a fourth idler gear 30, and a fifth idler gear 32 to the countershaft 22. As the only gear-implementing fixed gear, the third fixed gear 34 is located between the first, second, fourth, and fifth idler gears 24, 26, 30, and 32 on the countershaft 22. A sixth fixed gear 39 is not a gear-implementing fixed gear. The sixth fixed gear 39 connects the countershaft 22 to the differential 20 as a so-called drive output constant. On the basis of this scheme, the following is determined with respect to the forward gear steps:
[0116] One fixed gear and one idler gear are associated with each forward gear step and, in fact, a single fixed gear and a single idler gear in each case. Each fixed gear and idler gear pair are always unambiguously associated with a single forward gear step, i.e., there are no winding-path gears by utilizing one gearwheel for multiple gear steps. Nevertheless, the second and fourth forward gear steps G2, G4 are considered to be coupling gears, since the first transmission input shaft 7 is interconnected during the formation of the second and fourth forward gear steps G2, G4.
[0117] A first electric motor EM,1 and a second electric motor EM2 are attached as shown and at the first and fifth axially external gearwheels 10, 18, respectively. As a result, it is possible to attach the electric motors EM1, EM2 without additional gearwheels on one of the transmission input shafts 7, 9, as the result of which installation space is saved. In particular, due to the attachment of the electric motors EM1, EM2 at the axially outermost gearwheels 10, 18, an axially extremely short hybrid transmission device 3 is created.
[0118] The electric motors EM1, EM2 are arranged in parallel to the transmission input shaft 7 and the electric motors EM1, EM2 have their output at opposite sides. This means, as shown in
[0119]
[0120]
[0121] The described hybrid transmission device 3 has several functional advantages. For example, due to the described arrangement, both electric motors are operable as a motor and as a generator. As a result, it is possible, for example, to provide a crawler gear E1 in the shift pattern for the electric motor EM1. The crawler gear E1 has a ratio of over 40. For this purpose, the second clutch K2 and the first gearshift clutch A are engaged. Since the crawler gear E1 produced with the hybrid transmission device 3 is formed via driving with the first electric motor EM1, the second electric motor EM2 is usable as a generator in the meantime. In the crawler gear E1, therefore, the first electric motor EM1 is utilized as a motor and the second electric motor EM2 is utilized as a generator.
[0122] This is also the sole utilization of the second clutch K2.
[0123] Of course, the crawler gear E1 is also operable in a battery electric manner. In this case, only the first gearshift clutch A is necessarily engaged and the second clutch K2 is engaged or disengaged.
[0124] In each of a third electric motor-operated forward gear E3 and a fifth electric motor-operated gear E5, one of the third gearshift clutch C or the fifth gearshift clutch E is engaged, as the result of which the described ratios are produced. In these gears as well, it is possible to engage the second clutch K2 and utilize the second electric motor EM2 as a generator.
[0125] With the second electric motor EM2, two electric motor-operated forward gears, including a second electric motor-operated forward gear E2 and a fourth electric motor-operated forward gear E4, are also produced. For this purpose, only the second transmission input shaft 9 and the second engagement device S2, with one of the second or fourth gearshift clutches B, D in each case, are utilized. In these gears, it is possible, therefore, to engage the first clutch K1 and utilize the first electric motor EM1 as a generator.
[0126] By the two electric motors EM1, EM2, five electric forward gears, including one crawler gear, are therefore formed, wherein only one of the two sub-transmissions 36, 38 must be integrated in each case.
[0127] The gearshift clutches A, B, C, D, E and at least the second and third clutches K2, K3 are advantageously dog clutches. Preferably, the first clutch K1 is also a dog clutch. An internal-combustion-engine gear change under load takes place by utilization of the electric motor(s) EM1, EM2.
[0128] The gear change from the first internal-combustion-engine gear V1 into the second internal-combustion-engine gear V2 is described in the following. In the first internal-combustion-engine forward gear V1, the first clutch K1 and the first gearshift clutch A are engaged. In addition, the second gearshift clutch B is engaged, but not yet loaded. Thereupon, the first electric motor EM1 is operated as a generator such that the cumulative torque of the internal combustion engine 2 and of the first electric motor EM1 is approximately equal to 0, while the second electric motor EM2 applies the torque at the drive output. The torque reduction or increase takes place linearly in each case. As a result, the gearshift clutch A becomes load-free and is disengageable.
[0129] Thereafter, the first electric motor EM1 and the internal combustion engine 2 synchronize the first transmission input shaft 7, via which no torque is transmitted in this moment, with respect to the second transmission input shaft 9, and so the third clutch K3 is engageable. Finally, a load change from the second electric motor EM2 to the internal combustion engine 2 takes place, as the result of which the second internal-combustion-engine forward gear V2 is achieved. In the second internal-combustion-engine second forward gear V2, the second gearshift clutch B is engaged. Therefore, the second electric motor EM2 is operable as a generator in this case, provided the second gearshift clutch B is to be disengaged again.
[0130]
[0131]
[0132]
[0133] The first electric motor EM1 does not need to be continuously operated as a generator, as described. Rather, a change-over is optional between the electric motors EM1, EM2.
[0134] With regard to the nomenclature, the first number of the hybrid gear designates the internal-combustion-engine gear and the second number designates an electric motor-operated gear. It is not expressed whether the first electric motor EM1 is operated as a motor or as a generator, for example, in the hybrid gear H32.
[0135]
[0136] Rotational speeds are represented in the upper section, engine/motor torques are represented in the middle section, and the output torque is represented in the lower section.
[0137] At the point in time t.sub.0, a gear shift is present as shown in
[0138] In addition, at the point in time t.sub.1, the motor torque 54 of the second electric motor EM2 begins to ramp up, starting from its initial value of 0, to a target value 52. If the target values 48, 50 are selected such that they have the same amount or magnitude, this means the cumulative torque of the internal combustion engine 2 and the first electric motor EM1 is equal to 0, as the result of which the third clutch K3 becomes load-free and is disengageable. Disengagement of the third clutch K3 takes place between the points in time t.sub.2 and t.sub.3.
[0139] In this interval, i.e., between the points in time t.sub.2 and t.sub.3, only the second electric motor EM2 drives the motor vehicle 1, since the torques of the internal combustion engine 2 and the first electric motor EM1 cancel each other out as described. Starting at the point in time t.sub.3, the torque 40 of the internal combustion engine is reduced further in order to bring the rotational speed of the transmission input shaft 7 to the rotational speed, at which a ratio with respect to the rotational speed of the countershaft 22 is reached, at which the gearshift clutch C is engageable.
[0140] Between the points in time t.sub.2 and t.sub.6, in which only or mainly the second electric motor EM2 drives, the output torque 53 (e.g., the torque supplied to the transmission) is lower than in the case of an assistance or take-over by the internal combustion engine 2.
[0141] Starting at the point in time t.sub.5, the generator operation of the first electric motor EM1 begins to end. The first electric motor EM1 is ramped up to its initial value and/or the initial torque 46. Simultaneously, the engine torque 40 of the internal combustion engine 2 is also increased to its initial value 44. As soon as the first electric motor EM1 has ended the operation as a generator at the point in time t.sub.6, the torque output of the second electric motor EM2 is reduced and, in fact, also back to the initial value. At the point in time t.sub.7, the torque output of the electric motors EM1, EM2 is at the initial value again. The torque output of the internal combustion engine 2 is increased slightly up to the point in time t.sub.8.
[0142]

[0145] The crawler gear E1 is implemented via the gear step G1, wherein, in the embodiment according to
[0146] The electric motors EM1, EM2 are power shiftable with one another in the configuration of

[0149] The sixth gearshift clutch F is the shift element of the gear step GE2, which is utilized only with the second electric motor EM2.
