  • Patent number: 10272762
    Abstract: A drive system for a hybrid drive in a motor vehicle is provided. The drive system includes a drive machine with a rotor and a stator; a planetary gear set with a sun gear, a ring gear and at least one planetary gear mounted on a planetary carrier; and a coupling system, by way of which at least one other drive machine can be coupled to the drive system. The ring gear can be connected to the rotor in order to transmit drive power and is arranged inside the rotor in the radial direction. In particular, the sun gear of the drive system is non-rotatably mounted in relation to the stator; the planetary carrier is configured as a transmission output shaft; and a power take-off shaft, which is concentric with the ring gear, can be connected to the planetary carrier and to the coupling system.

  • Patent number: 10155437
    Abstract: A planetary gearing device includes a gearing input shaft, a gearing output shaft, a gearing housing, and at least a first, second and third planetary gear train, each having a sun gear, a ring gear and at least one planet gear. The planetary gear trains are centrally arranged with respect to a gearing axis and can be mutually, particularly selectively, connected with torque transmission devices. The first planetary gear train are arranged radially within the second planetary gear train. An individual sectional plane orthogonal with respect to the gearing axis intersects the first and the second planetary gear train, the first and the third planetary gear train being axially spaced from one another along this gearing axis. The first planetary gear train has at least a second planet gear.

  • Publication number: 20180244145
    Abstract: A drive machine coupling device for a motor vehicle with a hybrid drive is provided. The device includes an input shaft designed to receive the drive power provided by a first drive machine, an output shaft designed to output the drive power, and a first coupling device arranged between the input shaft and the output shaft. By way of the first coupling device, a torque can selectively be transmitted from the input shaft to the output shaft. The coupling device can be directly coupled to the output shaft. An additional coupling device is arranged between the input shaft and the output shaft, and can be directly coupled to the output shaft, such that a torque can selectively be transmitted from the input shaft to the output shaft. The additional coupling device is arranged parallel to the first coupling device with respect to the torque transmission.

  • Publication number: 20180119816
    Abstract: A parking brake system for a motor vehicle transmission is provided. The parking, brake system includes a brake cylinder having a brake piston movable between braking and locking positions, a piston lock provided to lock the brake piston in the locking position, a piston valve configured to activate the brake cylinder using a fluid, and a locking valve configured to activate the piston lock using a fluid. The piston valve can be connected, in a fluid-conducting manner on the downstream side facing away from the brake cylinder, to a supply pressure system, and the locking valve, on the side facing away from and downstream of the piston lock, can be connected in a fluid-conducting manner to the supply pressure system, such that the locking valve is arranged downstream of and parallel to the piston valve relative to the supply pressure system.

  • Publication number: 20180093559
    Abstract: A hybrid planetary gear transmission includes first, second and third planetary gear sets with respective sun, ring and planetary gears, the three planetary gear sets being arranged at a distance from each other concentrically to a common transmission axis, a transmission input shaft for receiving drive power from at least one drive machine, and a transmission output shaft for outputting drive power to a drive train. The hybrid transmission further includes a first coupling system for selectively connecting the transmission input shaft to the sun gear of the first planetary gear set, a second coupling device for selectively connecting the transmission input shaft to the planetary gear carrier of the first planetary gear set, and a connection between the ring gear of the third planetary gear set to the planetary carrier of the second planetary gear set.

  • Publication number: 20180066747
    Abstract: A hydraulic controller for a vehicle gearbox is provided. The controller includes a hydraulic actuator which has an oil supply port, a high-pressure hydraulic pump for providing a feed to a high-pressure line, a low-pressure hydraulic pump for providing a feed to a low-pressure line, a hydraulic reservoir for receiving the hydraulic medium from a return line, and a hydraulic control valve. The control valve includes at least three control positions and at least four valve ports. In a first control position, the high-pressure line is fluidly connected to the oil supply port for the regulation of the actuating force of the hydraulic actuator. In a second control position, the low-pressure line is fluidly connected to the oil supply port for the pre-charging of the hydraulic actuator. In a third control position, the hydraulic actuator is fluidly connected to the return line for the return of the hydraulic medium.

  • Publication number: 20170343104
    Abstract: A valve device for an automatic transmission for a vehicle, preferably for a motor or utility vehicle, is provided. According to the invention, the valve device is designed such that the valve device can achieve the establishment and separation of a fluid connection between an operating pressure side and an actuator pressure side, each in a state operated without pressure. Further, an automatic transmission having such a valve device and a corresponding method for controlling such a valve device are provided.
