Description

Technical Field

[0001] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a power transmission device for a hybrid vehicle, and more particularly, to a power transmission device for a hybrid vehicle capable of removing a clutch connecting engine power, ensuring space for first and second motors, and reducing the overall length. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a power transmission device for a hybrid vehicle has a layout in which a motor, an engine, and an integrated starter generator (ISG) are arranged in a line.

[0003] In hybrid vehicles that utilize an engine and an electric motor, the electric motor is used to facilitate the initial start of the vehicle. Once the vehicle reaches a certain speed, the generator or ISG starts the engine, using both the engine's output and the electric motor's output.

[0004] The motor used in the power transmission device for a hybrid vehicle may be driven when the engine is initially not running to achieve electric driving of the vehicle.

[0005] Recently, the number of motors is no longer limited to one. Instead, two or more motors are being installed in multiples. For example, when two motors are installed in a power transmission device for a hybrid vehicle, the first motor can be driven to start the engine, and the second motor can be driven to electrically propel the vehicle.

[0006] However, existing technologies require large motors to deliver the required torque, making layout design difficult. Installing a friction clutch on the power shaft connecting the engine and transmission increases product length and weight due to its large size. Furthermore, a dog clutch on the power shaft connecting the engine and transmission requires the motor to be positioned concentrically with the engine, which limits overall length. Therefore, a solution to this problem was necessary.

[0007] Background art of the present disclosure is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2009-0020791 (published on February 27, 2009, entitled “POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE FOR HEV”). Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the terms used below are defined with regard to their functions within the present disclosure and may vary depending on the user's or operator's intentions or common practices. Therefore, these terms should be defined according to the context of this specification.

[0036] Figure 1Schematic diagram showing a power transmission device for a hybrid vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The power transmission device 1 for a hybrid vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an engine 10 , an input end 20 , a first motor generator 30 , a first transmission 40 , an output end 50 , a second motor generator 60 , a second transmission 70 and a differential 80 .

[0037] Engine 10 is a device that generates power by driving an internal combustion engine. Input 20 can be connected to engine 10 and configured to provide three speeds of power with different gear ratios. For example, input 20 can be in the form of a shaft and positioned between first transmission 40 and second transmission 70. Input 20 can transmit power for low-speed (first gear), medium-speed (second gear), or high-speed (third gear) driving.

[0038] The first motor generator 30 is driven when power is applied, and the first transmission 40 may be connected to the first motor generator 30. The first transmission 40 may be positioned parallel to the input end 20 and transmit power to the input end 20. For example, the first motor generator 30 may rotate the first transmission 40 to start the engine 10 and provide driving force. When the rotational force of the input end 20 is provided to the first motor generator 30 through the first transmission 40, the first motor generator 30 may generate electricity.

[0039] The output 50 may be selectively engaged with the input 20. For example, the output 50 may be located between the input 20 and the second transmission 70. The input 20, the output 50, and the second transmission 70 may be positioned in parallel.

[0040] The second motor generator 60 is driven when power is applied, and the second transmission 70 may be connected to the second motor generator 60. The second transmission 70 may transmit power to the output end 50. For example, the second motor generator 60 may rotate the second transmission 70 to provide driving force. When the rotational force of the output end 50 is provided to the second motor generator 60 through the second transmission 70, the second motor generator 60 may generate electricity.

[0041] The differential 80 can be coupled to the output end 50 to provide power to the wheels. For example, the differential 80 can be a differential gear that divides and distributes the driving force of the left and right wheels to achieve different rotations on the left and right sides.
