  • Patent number: 9586470
    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle powertrain may include input shafts, clutches, output shafts, a transmission path selector, a planetary gear unit, and a gear stage forming mechanism. The transmission path selector may bring engagement of a first input shaft with second or third input shaft. The planetary gear unit may have three rotary elements, with motor power or engine power being input via a first or second rotary element and being output with any one of two transmission gear ratios under the control of first or third rotary element in response to engagement of first and second engaging units. The gear stage forming mechanism may be formed by engagement of gear pairs having different transmission gear ratios with second and third input shafts and a first output shaft, and function to transmit the power from the second or third input shaft to the first output shaft while changing a speed by selecting a gear pair in accordance with a vehicle running speed using a gear pair selector.

  • Patent number: 9370991
    Abstract: A hybrid powertrain for a vehicle includes an input shaft rotating in response to a power received from an engine. output shaft is arranged parallel to the input shaft. A first motor generator is configured to transmit and receive a power to and from the output shaft. A second motor generator is configured to transmit and receive a power to and from the input shaft. A first clutch structure enables or disables transmission of the power between the first motor generator and the output shaft. A second clutch structure enables or disables transmission of the power between the input shaft and the output shaft. A third clutch structure enables or disables transmission of the power between the second motor generator and the input shaft.

  • Patent number: 9315095
    Abstract: A hybrid power train for a vehicle is capable of improving fuel efficiency of the vehicle by preventing a motor from being driven by power of an engine for a period in which the vehicle is driven by the engine. The hybrid power train may include an input shaft installed to selectively receive power of an engine, an engine side driving gear provided at the input shaft, an output shaft disposed in parallel with the input shaft, an engine side driven gear provided at the output shaft so as to be engaged with the engine side driving gear, a motor side driving gear installed to be rotated by a motor while forming a concentric axis with the input shaft, a motor side driven gear rotatably provided at the output shaft so as to be engaged with the motor side driving gear, and a clutch unit installed to switch a state in which the motor side driven gear is fixed to the output shaft.
