Abstract

A transmission of a motor driving vehicle, may include an input shaft connected to a driving motor and including a first clutch and a second clutch, a planetary gear set including a first rotation element directly connected to the input shaft, a second rotation element connected to the input shaft through the first clutch, and a third rotation element being able to be restrained from rotation, a gear pair configured to transmit power to the output shaft through the planetary gear set, a gear pair configured to transmit power to the input shaft without change, and additional clutches configured to control connection of the gear pairs and connection of rotation elements of the planetary gear set.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A transmission apparatus of a vehicle, comprising:
an input shaft fixedly connected to a driving motor;
a first clutch and a second clutch mounted to the input shaft;
a planetary gear set including a first rotation element fixedly connected to the input shaft, a second rotation element engaged to the first rotation element and selectively connectable to the input shaft through the first clutch, and a third rotation element engaged to the second rotation element and selectively connectable to a transmission housing;
a first drive gear fixedly connected to the second rotation element of the planetary gear set;
an output shaft disposed in parallel to the input shaft, wherein an output gear is fixedly mounted to the output shaft;
a first driven gear rotatably disposed on the output shaft and engaged with the first drive gear;
a second drive gear rotatably disposed on the input shaft and selectively connectable to the input shaft through the second clutch;
a second driven gear fixedly mounted on the output shaft and engaged with the second drive gear;
a third clutch mounted to the output shaft and selectively connecting the first driven gear to the output shaft;
a fourth clutch selectively connecting the second drive gear to the input shaft; and
a fifth clutch selectively connecting the third rotation element of the planetary gear set to the first drive gear or to the transmission housing.

2. The transmission apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the planetary gear set is a single pinion planetary gear set; and
wherein the first rotation element of the planetary gear set is a sun gear, the second rotation element is a planet carrier, and the third rotation element is a ring gear.

3. The transmission apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first clutch and the second clutch include a friction clutch with adjustable transfer torque; and
wherein the third clutch, the fourth clutch, and the fifth clutch include a gear engagement-type clutch having no power consumption while being maintained in an engagement state.

4. The transmission apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the gear engagement-type clutch includes a synchronization engagement device including a synchronizer ring configured to perform a synchronization operation.

5. The transmission apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the gear engagement-type clutch includes a dog clutch.

6. A transmission apparatus of a vehicle, comprising:
an input shaft fixedly connected to a driving motor;
a first clutch and a second clutch mounted to the input shaft;
a planetary gear set including a first rotation element fixedly connected to the input shaft, a second rotation element engaged to the first rotation element and selectively connectable to the input shaft through the first clutch, and a third rotation element engaged to the second rotation element and selectively connectable to a transmission housing
a first drive gear fixedly connected to the second rotation element of the planetary gear set;
an output shaft disposed in parallel to the input shaft, wherein an output gear is fixedly mounted to the output shaft;
a first driven gear rotatably disposed on the output shaft and engaged with the first drive gear;
a second drive gear rotatably disposed on the input shaft and selectively connectable to the input shaft through the second clutch;
a second driven gear rotatably disposed on the output shaft and engaged with the second drive gear;
a third clutch mounted to the output shaft and selectively connecting the first driven gear to the output shaft;
a fourth clutch selectively connecting the second drive gear to the input shaft;
a fifth clutch selectively connecting the third rotation element of the planetary gear set to the first drive gear or to the transmission housing; and
a sixth clutch fixedly mounted to the output shaft and selectively connecting the second driven gear to the output shaft.

7. A transmission apparatus of a vehicle, comprising:
an input shaft fixedly connected to a driving motor;
a first clutch and a second clutch mounted to the input shaft;
a planetary gear set including a first rotation element fixedly connected to the input shaft, a second rotation element engaged to the first rotation element and selectively connectable to the input shaft through the first clutch, and a third rotation element engaged to the second rotation element and selectively connectable to a transmission housing;
a first drive gear fixedly connected to the second rotation element of the planetary gear set;
an output shaft disposed in parallel to the input shaft, wherein an output gear is fixedly mounted to the output shaft;
a first driven gear rotatably disposed on the output shaft and engaged with the first drive gear;
a second drive gear rotatably disposed on the input shaft and selectively connectable to the input shaft through the second clutch;
a second driven gear rotatably disposed on the output shaft and engaged with the second drive gear;
a third clutch mounted to the output shaft and selectively connecting the first driven gear to the output shaft;
a fifth clutch selectively connecting the third rotation element of the planetary gear set to the first drive gear or the transmission housing; and
a sixth clutch fixedly mounted to the output shaft and selectively connecting the second driven gear to the output shaft.
