[0001] The invention relates in particular to a hybrid transmission device according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] A hybrid transmission device for a motor vehicle is known from DE 10 2020 205 090 A1. Further hybrid transmission devices are known from publications DE 10 2020 205 099 A1, DE 10 2020 203 790 A1 and DE 10 2021 213 667 A1.

[0003] The object of the invention is in particular to achieve a compact design for a hybrid drive of the generic type.

[0004] The problem is solved by the features of the independent patent claims, while advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention can be derived from the dependent claims.

[0005] The invention relates to a hybrid transmission device for a motor vehicle, comprising at least a first transmission input shaft for connecting an internal combustion engine, at least a second transmission input shaft for connecting a rotor of a first electric machine, a transmission output shaft, and a transmission for connecting the internal combustion engine and / or the first electric machine and / or the second electric machine to the transmission output shaft, which has an intermediate shaft operatively connected to the second transmission input shaft, at least three spur gear stages, and at least four shift units, wherein a first spur gear stage of the spur gear stages is directly coupled or can be coupled to the intermediate shaft and is directly coupled or can be coupled to the transmission output shaft.wherein a third spur gear stage is directly coupled or can be coupled to the first transmission input shaft and directly coupled or can be coupled to the transmission output shaft, wherein a first switching unit of the switching units is provided in a closed state to connect the intermediate shaft to the transmission output shaft via the first spur gear stage, and wherein a fourth switching unit of the switching units is provided in a closed state to connect the first transmission input shaft to the at least one transmission output shaft via the third spur gear stage.

[0006] The invention solves the underlying problem by providing that the second spur gear stage can be coupled to the first transmission input shaft, to the intermediate shaft, and directly to the transmission output shaft. A second switching unit is provided in a closed state to connect the intermediate shaft to the transmission output shaft via the second spur gear stage, and a third switching unit is provided in a closed state to connect the first transmission input shaft to at least one transmission output shaft via the second spur gear stage. Preferably, the second and third spur gear stages are configured to provide a connection, particularly a switchable one, between the internal combustion engine and the transmission output shaft. In particular, the second and third spur gear stages are usable by the internal combustion engine.Preferably, the first spur gear stage and the second spur gear stage are configured to provide a connection, particularly a switchable one, between the first electric machine and the transmission output shaft. It is especially preferred that the second spur gear stage is used by both the internal combustion engine and the first electric machine.

[0007] "Direct" means without the interposition of switchable coupling elements and / or gears or gear stages. "Designed" means specifically designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is designed for a specific function means, in particular, that the object fulfills and / or performs this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

[0008] The term "transmission input shaft" is understood to mean, in particular, a transmission element that is designed, at least structurally, for a rotationally fixed or torsionally flexible connection to the drive unit, especially to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and / or a rotor of an electric machine. This connection can be designed, for example, to be separable and connectable by means of a disconnect clutch. The term "transmission output shaft" is understood to mean, in particular, a transmission element that is operatively connected to an output unit. Preferably, the transmission output shaft is connected, at least structurally, directly or via a fixed gear ratio to an output unit, in particular an axle drive, preferably a differential. The transmission output shaft can, in particular, also be arranged parallel to the axis of an output shaft, in particular a side shaft, of the axle drive, especially the differential.The axle drive can be designed, for example, as a ball differential, spur gear differential, or planetary gear differential. A "gear element" is understood to be, in particular, a configuration intended for a permanent, rotationally fixed connection between spur gears, sun gears, planet carriers, ring gears, and / or coupling elements.

[0009] In this context, a "switching unit" is understood to be a unit comprising at least two coupling elements and a switching element, designed to establish a switchable connection between the at least two coupling elements. A "switching unit with three coupling elements" is understood to be, in particular, a switching unit in which the switching element is designed to switchably connect or decouple a distinguished switching element, hereinafter also referred to as a constant velocity component, from at least one of the other two coupling elements. A switching unit with three coupling elements is preferably designed as a double switching unit. A "coupling element" is understood to be, in particular, an element of the switching unit that is permanently and rotationally fixed to a transmission element, such as a transmission shaft, a loose gear, and / or a fixed gear.A "coupling element" of a switching unit is understood to be an axially and radially fixed element designed for a frictional, force-fit, and / or positive-locking connection with the switching element, such as a loose gear with teeth for connection to the switching element, or a lamellar carrier of a friction-fit switching unit. A "switching element" of a switching unit is understood to be, in particular, an element that is permanently and rotationally fixed but axially and / or radially movable to one of the coupling elements and designed for a frictional, force-fit, and / or positive-locking connection with at least one further coupling element, such as a sliding sleeve of a positive-locking unit or an axially movable friction lamella of a friction-fit switching unit. Preferably, the first switching unit is a positive-locking switching unit.A "positive-locking switching unit" is understood to mean, in particular, a switching unit that has teeth and / or claws for connecting its coupling elements or for attaching its coupling element. These teeth and / or claws interlock to create a rotationally fixed connection, whereby the transmission of power in a fully closed state occurs at least primarily through positive locking. The switching units can be designed as either friction-locking or positive-locking units. The terms "axial" and "radial" refer specifically to the main axis of rotation. Hybrid forward gears can preferably be engaged using the first and second switching units.The third switching unit and the fourth switching unit are particularly useful for switching purely electrical gears of the first electrical machine, especially when the first switching unit and the second switching unit are open.

[0010] In this context, "actively connected" refers specifically to a non-switchable connection between two components, intended for the permanent transmission of rotational speed and / or torque. This connection can be direct or via a fixed gear ratio. The connection can be achieved, for example, via a fixed shaft, a gear connection (especially a spur gear), and / or a wrapping element.

[0011] The design according to the invention allows for a particularly compact construction. Furthermore, an advantageously direct connection of the first electric machine can be achieved, thus enabling advantageously purely electric gears. In particular, several purely electric gears can be implemented.

[0012] Furthermore, it is proposed that the hybrid transmission device includes a third transmission input shaft for connecting a rotor of a second electric machine, wherein the third transmission input shaft is operatively connected to the first transmission input shaft. The second electric machine is specifically an electric machine that is operatively connected to a transmission input, particularly the first transmission input shaft. The second electric machine can be smaller than the first electric machine, as it does not need to perform any significant driving functions. The second electric machine can, for example, be used to assist the internal combustion engine or the first electric machine. This allows for a particularly advantageous and flexible hybrid transmission device.

[0013] Furthermore, it is proposed that the transmission includes a gear stage with a fixed gear ratio, arranged between the intermediate shaft and the second transmission input shaft. Preferably, the gear stage is arranged along a torque flow of the first electric machine between the second transmission input shaft and the intermediate shaft. Preferably, the gear stage particularly acts as a pre-reduction for the first electric machine. This allows, particularly advantageously, the rotational speed of the first electric machine to be adjusted.

[0014] Furthermore, it is proposed that the gear stage be formed by a planetary gear set comprising a sun gear, a planet carrier, and a ring gear. The planetary gear set serves primarily as a pre-transformation for the first electric machine. Various designs of planetary gear sets are suitable for practical implementation. However, due to its simple and compact construction, the planetary gear set can preferably be designed as a simple planetary gear with a sun gear, a planet carrier supporting several planet gears, and a ring gear. Designs such as a Plus planetary gear set or a Ravigneaux planetary gear set are also conceivable. The term "planetary gear set" is understood to mean, in particular, a unit with at least one sun gear, at least one ring gear, and at least one planet gear guided by a planet carrier in a circular path around the sun gear.Additional planet gears guided on a further circular path by the planet carrier or a further planet carrier can be provided. Advantageously, the planet gear set has exactly one fixed gear ratio. This allows for a particularly compact transmission stage, by means of which various gear ratios can be realized. A gear ratio can be selected, in particular, according to the design of the hybrid transmission system.

[0015] It is further proposed that the sun gear be fixed to the housing, the planet carrier be permanently and rotationally fixed to the intermediate shaft, and the ring gear be permanently and rotationally fixed to the second transmission input shaft. This allows, in particular, an advantageous fixed gear ratio for the planetary gear set.

[0016] It is further proposed that the transmission stage be formed by a fourth spur gear stage, which is directly coupled to the intermediate shaft and directly to the second transmission input shaft, the second transmission input shaft being arranged axially parallel to the first transmission input shaft. Preferably, the fourth spur gear stage comprises a first spur gear that is rotationally fixed to the second transmission input shaft and a second spur gear that is rotationally fixed to the intermediate shaft. Preferably, the first spur gear and the second spur gear mesh with each other. Preferably, the spur gears of the fourth spur gear stage are each formed by fixed gears. This allows, in particular, an advantageous transmission stage to be provided by means of which various gear ratios can be realized. A gear ratio can be selected, in particular, according to the design of the hybrid transmission system.

[0017] Alternatively, it is proposed that the intermediate shaft be permanently and rotationally fixed to the second transmission input shaft. Preferably, the first electric machine is directly connected to the intermediate shaft. The second transmission input shaft is, in particular, free of any pre-reduction gearing. This allows for a particularly advantageously compact design of the hybrid transmission device. In particular, the number of components can be reduced.

[0018] Furthermore, it is proposed that the third transmission input shaft be directly coupled to the third spur gear stage. Preferably, the third spur gear stage comprises a first spur gear arranged on the first transmission input shaft and a second spur gear arranged on the transmission output shaft. Preferably, the third spur gear stage also comprises a further spur gear that is permanently and rotationally fixed to the third transmission input shaft, and thus, in particular, to a rotor of the second electric machine. Preferably, the further spur gear is coupled directly or via a further spur gear to the second spur gear of the third spur gear stage, or, more preferably, to the first spur gear of the third spur gear stage. Preferably, the third spur gear stage is arranged in a gear plane. This eliminates the need for an additional spur gear stage for connecting the third transmission input shaft.In particular, an advantageously simple functional connection between the third transmission input shaft and the first transmission input shaft can be provided.

[0019] Alternatively, it is proposed that the transmission has a fifth spur gear stage, which is directly coupled to the third and first transmission input shafts. Preferably, the fifth spur gear stage has a first spur gear that is permanently and rotationally fixed to the third transmission input shaft, and a second spur gear that is also permanently and rotationally fixed to the first transmission input shaft. This allows, in particular, a separate connection of the third transmission input shaft to the first transmission input shaft. This can be especially advantageous if the first spur gear of the third spur gear stage is designed as a loose gear, since otherwise a permanent operative connection between the second electric machine and the first transmission input shaft cannot be guaranteed.

[0020] It is further proposed that the first and second switching units be designed as a double switching unit. Preferably, the double switching unit can be arranged on the first transmission input shaft as well as on the transmission output shaft. Preferably, the first and second switching units are designed as a double switching unit, which can be actuated, in particular, by means of an actuator, thereby saving components, especially actuators, installation space, weight, and costs.

[0021] It is further proposed that the third and fourth switching units be designed as a double switching unit. Preferably, the double switching unit is arranged on the first transmission input shaft. Preferably, the third and fourth switching units are designed as a double switching unit, which can be actuated, in particular, by means of an actuator, thereby saving components, especially actuators, installation space, weight, and costs.

[0022] Furthermore, it is proposed that the hybrid transmission device include a disconnect clutch by means of which a disconnectable connection between the combustion engine and the first transmission input shaft is provided. Alternatively or additionally, it would also be conceivable to arrange a torsional vibration decoupling element, such as a torsional damper, a dual-mass flywheel, or the like, between the combustion engine and the first transmission input shaft. This would particularly benefit from the decoupling of the combustion engine and ensure advantageously low-friction operation.

[0023] Furthermore, the invention relates to a hybrid drive system with the hybrid transmission device, with an internal combustion engine which has a crankshaft connected non-rotatably to the first transmission input shaft, with a first electric machine which has a rotor connected non-rotatably to the second transmission input shaft, and with a second electric machine which has a rotor connected non-rotatably to the third transmission input shaft.

The second electric machine 6a is specifically an electric machine that is operatively connected to a transmission input, in particular a first transmission input shaft W1a.The second electric machine 6a can be smaller than the first electric machine 4a, since the second electric machine 6a does not have to perform any essential driving functions. Furthermore, the hybrid drive system includes the hybrid transmission device 1a. The hybrid transmission device 1a is formed by a motor vehicle transmission. The hybrid transmission device 1a forms part of the motor vehicle's powertrain. The hybrid transmission device 1a is arranged along the powertrain, specifically along a power flow of the powertrain, downstream of the internal combustion engine 2a.

[0027] The hybrid transmission device 1a is driven in at least one operating state via the combustion engine 2a and / or the first electric machine 4a and / or the second electric machine 6a.

[0028] The hybrid transmission device 1a comprises a transmission 7a and at least four switching units S1a, S2a, S3a, S4a.

[0029] The rotor 3a of the first electric machine 4a is coaxially connected to the second gearbox input shaft W2a. Specifically, the rotor 3a is arranged coaxially to the intermediate shaft W5a and parallel to the gearbox output shaft W4a. However, a parallel connection of the rotor 3a to the second gearbox input shaft W2a, for example via a chain or one or more spur gears, would also be conceivable.

The first transmission input shaft W1a is designed to transmit drive torque from the internal combustion engine 3a to the hybrid transmission device 1a. In principle, further components, such as a device for decoupling rotational irregularities (in particular a vibration damper), a starting clutch, a disconnect clutch, a torque converter, or the like, can be arranged between the first transmission input shaft W1a and the internal combustion engine 2a. The first transmission input shaft W1a is a solid shaft. The intermediate shaft W5a of the transmission 7a is a hollow shaft that partially extends around the first transmission input shaft W1a.Furthermore, the hybrid transmission device 1a has a second transmission input shaft W2a for direct connection to the rotor 3a of the first electric machine 4a. The second transmission input shaft W2a is located on the transmission input side. The second transmission input shaft W2a is designed to connect to the electric machine 4a. The second transmission input shaft W2a is designed to transmit a drive torque supplied by the electric machine 4a into the hybrid transmission device 1a. The second transmission input shaft W2a transmits a drive torque supplied by the electric machine 4a into the transmission 7a of the hybrid transmission device 1a. For this purpose, the second transmission input shaft W2a is permanently and rotationally fixed to a ring gear P13a of a planetary gear set P1a of the transmission 7a. The second transmission input shaft W2a is designed as a hollow shaft. The second transmission input shaft W2a extends around the first transmission input shaft W1a.Furthermore, the hybrid transmission device 1a has a third transmission input shaft W3a for direct connection to the rotor 5a of the second electric machine 6a.

The third transmission input shaft W3a is designed to transmit a drive torque supplied by the second electric machine 6a into the hybrid transmission device 1a. The third transmission input shaft W3a transmits a drive torque supplied by the second electric machine 6a into the transmission 7a of the hybrid transmission device 1a. For this purpose, the third transmission input shaft W3a is operatively connected to the first transmission input shaft W1a.

The third transmission input shaft W3a extends axially parallel to the first transmission input shaft W1a.

[0031] However, in principle, a different arrangement and design of the transmission input shafts W1a, W2a, W3a, which would appear sensible to a specialist, would also be conceivable.

The first spur gear Z61a meshes with the second spur gear Z62a of the sixth spur gear stage Z6a. The sixth spur gear stage Z6a is located at the end of the transmission output shaft W4a facing the internal combustion engine 2a. The transmission output shaft W4a is connected to the vehicle's drive wheels (not shown) via the axle drive 10a. The axle drive 10a is designed to compensate for the speed differences between the drive wheels of a vehicle. The axle drive 10a has two, in particular coaxial, side shafts, each coupled to a drive wheel.

[0034] Furthermore, a fixed gear ratio, in particular an output gear ratio in the form of a planetary gear set or a spur gear stage, can be connected downstream of the gear set.

[0058] The transmission 7a comprises the internal combustion engine and / or hybrid gears H1.1, H1.2, H1.3, H2.1, H2.2, H2.3, wherein the first internal combustion engine and / or hybrid gears H1.1, H1.2, H1.3 are assigned to the second spur gear stage Z2a and the second internal combustion engine and / or hybrid gears H2.1, H2.2, H2.3 are assigned to the third spur gear stage Z3a. Gears H1.1, H1.2, H2.1, H2.2 are, in particular, hybrid gears in which the first electric machine 4a is engaged. Preferably, the internal combustion engine 2a and the first electric machine 4a each have two selectable gears, wherein H1.1 represents a combination of the first gear of the internal combustion engine 2a and the first gear of the first electric machine 4a. H1.2 represents a combination of the first gear of the internal combustion engine 2a and the second gear of the first electric machine 4a. H2.H1.1 represents a combination of the second gear of the internal combustion engine 2a and the first gear of the first electric machine 4a. H2.2 represents a combination of the second gear of the internal combustion engine 2a and the second gear of the first electric machine 4a. Gears H1.3 and H2.3 are specifically formed by internal combustion engine gears. For the engagement of the internal combustion engine and / or hybrid gear H1.1, the second shift unit S1a and the third shift unit S3a are specifically closed. The other shift units S2a and S4a are open. For the engagement of the internal combustion engine and / or hybrid gear H1.2, the second shift unit S2a and the third shift unit S3a are specifically closed. The other shift units S1a and S4a are open. For the engagement of the internal combustion engine and / or hybrid gear H1.3, specifically only the third shift unit S3a is closed.The other shift units S1a, S2a, and S4a are open. For shifting into the combustion engine and / or hybrid gear H2.1, the first shift unit S1a and the fourth shift unit S4a are specifically closed. The other shift units S2a and S3a are open. For shifting into the combustion engine and / or hybrid gear H2.2, the second shift unit S2a and the fourth shift unit S4a are specifically closed. The other shift units S1a and S3a are open. For shifting into the combustion engine and / or hybrid gear H2.3, only the fourth shift unit S4a is specifically closed. The other shift units S1a, S2a, and S3a are open.

[0059] The all-electric gear ratios E1 and E2 are assigned to the first spur gear stage Z1a and the second spur gear stage Z2a, respectively. To engage the first all-electric gear ratio E1, only the first shift unit S1a is closed. The other shift units S2a, S3a, and S4a are open.

[0060] The hybrid drive system features various driving functions. When the third switching unit S3a or the fourth switching unit S4a is closed, the vehicle operates in hybrid mode. The combustion engine 2a is then connected to the transmission output shaft W4a and thus to the axle drive 10a via the second spur gear stage Z2a or the third spur gear stage Z3a. Depending on the selected electric gear, the first electric motor 4a can be connected to the transmission output shaft W4a and thus to the axle drive 10a via the first spur gear stage Z1a or the second spur gear stage Z2a. When the first switching unit S1a or the second switching unit S2a is closed and the third and fourth switching units S3a and S4a are open, the vehicle can be driven purely electrically.

[0061] If the third switching unit S3a and the fourth switching unit S4a are open and the combustion engine 2a drives the second electric machine 6a, a series driving mode can be implemented. The combustion engine 2a drives the second electric machine 6a and generates electricity for the first electric machine 4a. The first electric machine then operates in either electric gear E1 or electric gear E2. This enables a battery-neutral mode.

[0062] If both the first switching unit S1a and the second switching unit S2a are open, the first electric machine 4a can be disconnected. This offers efficiency advantages when the first electric machine 4a is not needed.

[0063] In hybrid gears H1.1 and H2.1, the speed of the first electric motor 4a can be reduced by engaging the second shift unit S2a instead of the first shift unit S1a. This corresponds specifically to hybrid gears H1.2 and H2.2. This can also lead to efficiency gains.

In an open state of the disconnect coupling K0b, the switching element K01b is designed to release the first coupling element K02b relative to the second coupling element K03b, so that the internal combustion engine 2b is decoupled.

[0071] The concept can be operated without the K0b disconnect coupling, however, its use can be advantageous for various reasons, such as functional safety or additional features. The K0b disconnect coupling enables functional advantages such as electrical load switching, electrical boosting, etc.
