Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide an alternative transmission which comprises in particular an improved power density and an improved efficiency as well as a differential locking action. These objects are achieved by a transmission having the features of claim 1 and by a transmission having the features of claim 10. Advantageous embodiments are subject of the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

[0004] The transmission for a motor vehicle according to the invention comprises: a first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set and a third planetary gear set, wherein each planetary gear set comprises a first element, a second element and a third element; exactly one drive shaft for connecting the transmission to a drive unit of the motor vehicle; a first output shaft and a second output shaft, each for connecting the transmission to wheels of the motor vehicle; a first coupling shaft and a second coupling shaft, each for connecting two elements of the two planetary gear sets in a rotationally fixed manner; and a switching element for transmitting torque between one of the two output shafts and the second coupling shaft,

[0005] wherein one of the elements of the second planetary gear set is connected to the drive shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein another of the elements of the second planetary gear set is connected to the first coupling shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein another of the elements of the second planetary gear set is connected to the second coupling shaft in a rotationally fixed manner,

[0006] wherein one of the elements of the third planetary gear set is connected to the first coupling shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein another of the elements of the third planetary gear set is connected to a stationary member in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein another of the elements of the third planetary gear set is connected to the second output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner,

[0007] wherein one of the elements of the first planetary gear set is connected to the second coupling shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein another of the elements of the first planetary gear set is connected to the first output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein another of the elements of the first planetary gear set is connected to the second output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0008] A "connection" of a device or element to a transmission is understood to mean that the transmission (in particular the corresponding shaft of the transmission) is connected to the device or element directly (e.g. in a rotationally fixed manner) or indirectly (e.g. via at least one further component, in particular via at least one further shaft or further gear). If two shafts are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner, they rotate together at a rotational speed in one direction of rotation. In particular, the connection can also take place via a switching element, whereby a drive-effective coupling and decoupling of the device or element to the corresponding shaft of the transmission is possible.

[0009] A "shaft" should not be understood to mean only a cylindrical, rotatably mounted transmission element, for example for transmitting torque, but should also be understood to mean a general connecting element which connects individual parts or elements to one another, in particular a connecting element which connects a plurality of elements to one another in a rotationally fixed manner. Two shafts which are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner can be formed in one piece.

[0010] "Stationary component" is understood to mean a non-rotating component of the transmission. For example, the stationary component is formed as a housing or a housing part of the transmission. Alternatively, the stationary component may be formed as a shaft fixed to the housing.

[0011] Thus, the second planetary gear set is connected or can be connected at least indirectly or directly to the drive unit via the drive shaft and is connected to the third planetary gear set via the first coupling shaft and is connected to the first planetary gear set via the second coupling shaft. Further, the third planetary gear set is connected to the housing in a rotationally fixed manner and is connected to the first planetary gear set via the second output shaft. In addition, the first planetary gear set is connected to the first output shaft. The first planetary gear set is connected or can be connected at least indirectly or directly to a first wheel of the motor vehicle via the first output shaft. In addition, the first planetary gear set and the third planetary gear set are connected or can be connected at least indirectly or directly to a second wheel of the motor vehicle via the second output shaft.

[0012] For example, the drive unit is designed as an electric motor, which can be operated as a drive motor for driving a vehicle and as a generator for recovering electrical energy. To this end, the electric motor is electrically connected to an electrical energy storage device. The electric motor comprises a rotor and a stator, wherein the rotor is connected to a rotor shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. The rotor shaft of the electric motor is at least indirectly or directly connected to a drive shaft. For example, the rotor shaft of the electric motor is connected to the drive shaft via at least one other shaft, via a plurality of gears and / or via a traction device. The electric motor can be arranged on a common rotation axis with the transmission, and can therefore be formed coaxially with respect to the drive shaft, wherein the rotor shaft is then preferably connected to the drive shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. Alternatively, the electric motor can be formed axially parallel with respect to the drive shaft, wherein the rotor shaft is then indirectly connected to the drive shaft. Alternatively, the drive unit can be formed as an internal combustion engine with a crankshaft.

[0013] A “switching element” is understood to mean a switchable device comprising at least an open state and a closed state, wherein in the open state the two shafts connected thereto are able to rotate freely and wherein in the closed state the two shafts are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment, the switching element in the closed state connects the third element of the first planetary gear set and the first element of the first planetary gear set to one another in a rotationally fixed manner. According to a preferred embodiment, the switching element in the closed state connects the second element of the first planetary gear set and the first element of the first planetary gear set to one another in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0015] Thus, the first planetary gear set is blocked via the switching element. In other words, two elements of the first planetary gear set, such as the sun gear and the ring gear or the sun gear and the planet carrier, are connected in a rotationally fixed manner, as a result of which the first planetary gear set rotates in a block and includes a transmission ratio of 1. Since one of these elements of the first planetary gear set is connected to the first output shaft or the second output shaft, a differential locking action is also generated by the switching element. The switching element can be switched by an actuator. "Differential locking action" is to be understood to mean a locking action between the two output shafts. The switching element can be designed as a friction locking or actively locking switching element. For example, the actively locking switching element is designed as a dog clutch. With the help of the actively locking switching element, the efficiency of the transmission can be increased due to the reduced drag losses. In particular, the actively locking switching element is designed in a more compact and efficiency-optimized manner and has a cost advantage over the friction locking switching element. However, slip operation (ie, a limited locking action at a differential speed) is not possible in the case of an actively locking switching element. For example, the friction locking switching element comprises a plurality of plates or at least one conical friction surface. In the case of a friction-locking shift element, the latter can be actuated via an actuator or mechanically, in particular by using axial forces from the helical teeth.The actuator can be arranged fixed to the housing or co-rotating.

[0016] According to a preferred embodiment, the first element of the second planetary gear set is connected to the input shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the second element of the second planetary gear set is connected to the first coupling shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the third element of the second planetary gear set is connected to the second coupling shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the first element of the third planetary gear set is connected to the first coupling shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the second element of the third planetary gear set is connected to the stationary element in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the third element of the third planetary gear set is connected to the second output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the first element of the first planetary gear set is connected to the second coupling shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the second element of the first planetary gear set is connected to the first output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the third element of the first planetary gear set is connected to the second output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0021] According to a preferred embodiment, two of the three planetary gear sets are arranged in a radially nested manner. In other words, the elements of the two planetary gear sets are arranged in an axially overlapping manner, so that one of the two planetary gear sets is arranged on the outside and the other of the two planetary gear sets is arranged on the inside. As a result, the transmission is formed in a more compact manner, in particular in the axial direction.

[0040] Figure 1 A motor vehicle 100 is shown, which has a first wheel bridge 101 with two wheels R1, R2 and a second wheel bridge 102 with two wheels R3, R4. In the present case, the first wheel bridge 101 is designed as a rear drive bridge of the motor vehicle 100 and is equipped with a drive device according to the invention, which comprises a single drive unit 2 designed as an electric motor and a transmission 1 designed as a planetary gear transmission. Therefore, the motor vehicle 100 is designed as an electric vehicle. The drive device is arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is operably connected to the wheels R1, R2 of the first wheel bridge 101. In the present case, no additional drive device is arranged on the second wheel bridge 102, that is, on the front axle of the vehicle 100, thereby saving costs, weight and installation space. Alternatively, the drive device can also be arranged on the front axle of the motor vehicle 100 instead of the rear axle. In order to realize an all-wheel drive system, an additional drive device can be arranged on the second wheel bridge 102, which is operably connected to the wheels R3, R4 of the wheel bridge 102.

[0041] Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each schematically shows the Figure 1Schematic diagram of a drive device. The transmission 1 of the drive device comprises a first planetary gear set P1, a second planetary gear set P2 and a third planetary gear set P3, each of which is illustrated in a circle. Each planetary gear set P1, P2, P3 comprises a first element, a second element and a third element, each of which is indicated by three connection options to the corresponding planetary gear set P1, P2, P3. In addition, the transmission 1 comprises five shafts, namely a drive shaft WAn for connecting the transmission 1 to the drive unit 2, a first output shaft WAb1 and a second output shaft WAb2, each for connecting the transmission 1 to the wheels of the motor vehicle, and a first coupling shaft W1 and a second coupling shaft W2.

[0042] One of the elements of the second planetary gear set P2 is connected to the drive shaft WAn in a rotationally fixed manner. The second planetary gear set P2 is operably connected to the drive unit 2 via the drive shaft WAn. In other words, at least one further shaft, gear, switching element, etc. can be arranged in the power flow between the drive unit 2 and the drive shaft WAn. Another of the elements of the second planetary gear set P2 is connected to the first coupling shaft W1 in a rotationally fixed manner. Another of the elements of the second planetary gear set P2 is connected to the second coupling shaft W2 in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0043] One of the elements of the third planetary gear set P3 is connected to the first coupling shaft W1 in a rotationally fixed manner. Therefore, the third planetary gear set P3 is connected to the second planetary gear set P2 via the first coupling shaft W1. Another of the elements of the third planetary gear set P3 is connected to a fixed component of the transmission 1 formed as a housing G in a rotationally fixed manner and is therefore prevented from rotating. Another of the elements of the third planetary gear set P3 is connected to the second output shaft WAb2 in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0044] One of the elements of the first planetary gear set P1 is connected to the second coupling shaft W2 in a rotationally fixed manner. Therefore, the first planetary gear set P1 is connected to the second planetary gear set P2 via the second coupling shaft W2. Another of the elements of the first planetary gear set P1 is connected to the first output shaft WAb1 in a rotationally fixed manner. Another of the elements of the first planetary gear set P1 is connected to the second output shaft WAb2 in a rotationally fixed manner. Therefore, the first planetary gear set P1 is connected to the third planetary gear set P3 via the second output shaft WAb2.

[0045] according to Figure 2 The transmission 1 further includes a switching element S for transmitting torque between the second output shaft WAb2 and the second coupling shaft W2. In other words, the second coupling shaft W2 can be connected to the second output shaft WAb2 via the switching element S.

[0046] according to Figure 3, the transmission 1 includes a switching element S for transmitting torque between the first output shaft WAb1 and the second coupling shaft W2. In other words, the second coupling shaft W2 can be connected to the first output shaft WAb1 via the switching element S.

[0047] The switching element is arranged as a differential lock and is preferably formed as a friction clutch. For example, the friction clutch comprises at least two corresponding friction surfaces, i.e., a friction surface pair. For example, the friction clutch is formed as a plate clutch and comprises a plurality of friction surface pairs acting in parallel. For example, the friction surface has a planar design. Alternatively, the friction surface is of a conical design, so that the friction torque can be increased. For example, a friction element designed as a friction plate or a friction cone or a component axially adjacent thereto is used for axial clearance adjustment. Alternatively, the switching element S is formed as a claw clutch. Alternatively, the switching element is designed as a synchronizer. Preferably, the actuation of the switching element S is carried out by means of a hydraulic cylinder, which is arranged to be fixed to the housing or to rotate together. Alternatively, the actuation of the switching element S occurs electromechanically, for example, via a main shaft, a ramp or a lever. Alternatively, the actuation of the switching element S occurs electromagnetically. The force required for the actuation of the switching element S is at least partially or completely generated by the axial force of at least one helical tooth. In particular, the force flow in the first planetary gear set P1 is formed so that the force from the at least one helical tooth acts on the shift element S in both the traction and overrunning modes of the drive train.

[0048] According to the present invention, the switching element S is provided for transmitting torque between one of the two output shafts WAb1, WAb2 and the second coupling shaft W2. In particular, one of the two output shafts WAb1, WAb2 is connected to an element of the first planetary gear set P1 formed as a planet carrier in a rotationally fixed manner. The sum of the reaction torque of the drive unit 2 and the housing support torque is oppositely equal in magnitude to the output torque at the two output shafts WAb1, WAb2. Therefore, the sum of the output torques does not occur similarly to a differential cage at a rotating part. The sum of the two output torques does not exist at any rotating part of the transmission 1. The sum of the output torques is greater in magnitude than the drive torque because it is not only a differential, but also a torque-up transmission with a differential function.

[0049] The first planetary gear set P1 rotates in a block during straight-ahead travel of the motor vehicle, with the result that the elements of the first planetary gear set P1 do not roll and therefore do not generate corresponding losses. The second planetary gear set P2 has no housing support, with the result that all three elements of the second planetary gear set P2 can rotate. The third planetary gear set P3 has a housing support, so that torque conversion is possible. The three planetary gear sets P1, P2, P3 are connected to one another so that each planetary gear set P1, P2, P3 shares exactly one rotationally fixed connection with each planetary gear set P1, P2, P3.

[0050] Figure 4 A drive device with a transmission 1 according to a first embodiment is schematically shown. For this first embodiment, the good efficiency and wide speed range of the transmission 1 are advantageous. The transmission 1 comprises a first planetary gear set P1, a second planetary gear set P2 and a third planetary gear set P3, wherein each of the three planetary gear sets P1, P2, P3 comprises a first element E11, E21, E31, a second element E12, E22, E32 and a third element E13, E23, E33. In the present case, the first element E11, E21, E31 of the respective planetary gear set P1, P2, P3 is formed as a sun gear, wherein the second element E12, E22, E32 of the respective planetary gear set P1, P2, P3 is formed as a planet carrier, wherein the third element E13, E23, E33 of the respective planetary gear set P1, P2, P3 is formed as a ring gear. Each planet carrier carries at least one planet gear which is in tooth engagement with the sun gear and the ring gear of the respective planetary gear set P1, P2, P3. Thus, each of the three planetary gear sets P1, P2, P3 is formed as a negative planetary gear set.

[0051] The first element E21 of the second planetary gear set P2 is connected to the drive shaft WAn in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the second element E22 of the second planetary gear set P2 is connected to the first coupling shaft W1 in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the third element E23 of the second planetary gear set P2 is connected to the second coupling shaft W2 in a rotationally fixed manner. In the present case, the drive shaft WAn is connected to the drive unit 2 in a rotationally fixed manner. Alternatively, further elements, in particular shafts, gears, switching elements or other devices can be arranged in the power flow between the drive unit 2 and the drive shaft WAn. For example, the power flow between the drive unit 2 and the drive shaft WAn can be interrupted by such a switching element.

[0052] The first element E31 of the third planetary gear set P3 is connected to the first connecting shaft W1 in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the second element E32 of the third planetary gear set P3 is connected to the fixed component formed as the housing G in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the third element E33 of the third planetary gear set P3 is connected to the second output shaft WAb2 in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0053] The first element E11 of the first planetary gear set P1 is connected to the second coupling shaft W2 in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the second element E12 of the first planetary gear set P1 is connected to the first output shaft WAb1 in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the third element E13 of the first planetary gear set P1 is connected to the second output shaft WAb2 in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0054] Therefore, the third element E13 of the first planetary gear set P1 and the third element E33 of the third planetary gear set P3 are connected to each other in a rotationally fixed manner via the second output shaft WAb2. In addition, the first coupling shaft W1 connects the second element E12 of the second planetary gear set P2 to the first element E31 of the third planetary gear set P3 in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the second coupling shaft W2 connects the third element E23 of the second planetary gear set P2 to the first element E11 of the first planetary gear set P1 in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0055] The second planetary gear set P2 is axially arranged between the third planetary gear set P3 and the first planetary gear set P1, wherein the third planetary gear set P3 is axially adjacent to the drive unit 2. As a result, the drive device is formed in a compact manner. All three planetary gear sets P1, P2, P3 are arranged on a common rotation axis R. The drive unit 2 is arranged coaxially with respect to the rotation axis R. The drive shaft WAn is formed as a hollow shaft, wherein the first output shaft WAb1 extends axially through the drive shaft WAn and the drive unit 2. The corresponding output shafts WAb1, WAb2 are connected to the corresponding wheels of the motor vehicle, for example, in a rotationally fixed manner. Alternatively, the corresponding output shafts WAb1, WAb2 can be indirectly connected to the corresponding wheels of the motor vehicle via further transmission elements, in particular spur gear stages, chain drives or transmission shafts.

[0056] The switching element S is configured to transmit torque between the second output shaft WAb2 and the second coupling shaft W2, wherein the switching element S in the closed state connects the third element E13 of the first planetary gear set P1 and the first element E11 of the first planetary gear set P1 to each other in a rotationally fixed manner. Therefore, the first planetary gear set P1 is blocked. If the switching element S is only partially closed, only a part of the torque is transmitted between the second coupling shaft W2 and the second output shaft WAb2. Due to the arrangement of the switching element S in the power flow between the sun gear and the ring gear of the first planetary gear set P1, the first planetary gear set P1 can be at least partially or completely blocked, wherein the torque occurring in the switching element S is then lower than in the case of the arrangement of the switching element S between the two output shafts WAb1, WAb2. Therefore, the switching element S is effectively arranged between the second coupling shaft W2 and the second output shaft WAb2, and acts between the first element E11 of the first planetary gear set P1 and the third element E13 of the first planetary gear set P1. The switching element S is arranged axially adjacent to the first planetary gear set P1. The switching element S is arranged axially between the first planetary gear set P1 and the second planetary gear set P2. Alternatively and not shown in the present case, the switching element S can be arranged radially on the outside around the second planetary gear set P2. The second planetary gear set P2 can be designed with a particularly small diameter, for example, as a result of which space is generated radially between the second planetary gear set P2 and the second output shaft WAb2 in order to arrange the switching element S there. If the switching element S is arranged in a radially nested manner with the second planetary gear set P2, the overall axial length can be saved.

[0057] Figure 5 A second embodiment of the drive device according to the present invention is shown. Figure 5 The drive device basically corresponds to Figure 4Drive device, wherein there are differences between the two embodiments with respect to the arrangement and connection of the switching element S. In the present case, the switching element S is configured to transmit torque between the first output shaft WAb1 and the second coupling shaft W2, wherein the switching element S in the closed state connects the second element E12 of the first planetary gear set P1 and the first element E11 of the first planetary gear set P1 in a rotationally fixed manner. Therefore, the switching element S acts between the first element E11 of the first planetary gear set P1 and the second element E12 of the first planetary gear set P1. The switching element S is arranged axially adjacent to the first planetary gear set P1. Due to the arrangement of the switching element S in the power flow between the sun gear and the planet carrier of the first planetary gear set P1, the first planetary gear set P1 can be at least partially or completely blocked, wherein the torque occurring in the switching element S is then lower than in the case of the arrangement of the switching element S between the two output shafts WAb1, WAb2. Although the torque in the switching element S is higher than in the case of an arrangement of the switching element S in the power flow between the sun gear and the ring gear of the first planetary gear set P1, structural advantages can be generated due to the coupling capability, especially if the arrangement of the switching element S in the power flow between the sun gear and the ring gear of the first planetary gear set P1 is structurally impossible.
