Abstract

A transmission for a motor vehicle wherein the drive shaft (An) is rotationally fixedly connectable by the first shift element (K3) to the first shaft (1) and the first shaft is rotationally fixedly connectable by the second shift element (B2) to the housing (2). A sun gear of the first planetary gear set (RS1) is rotationally fixedly connectable by the third shift element (K2) to the drive shaft (An). A carrier of the first planetary gear set (RS1) is rotationally fixedly connected to the output shaft (Ab) and to a ring gear of the second planetary gear set (RS2). A ring gear of the first planetary gear set (RS1) is rotationally fixedly connected to the second shaft (3), wherein the second shaft (3) is rotationally fixedly connectable by the fourth shift element (B1) to the housing (2).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A transmission for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a drive shaft (An);
an output shaft (Ab);
first, second and third planetary gear sets (RS 1 , RS 2 , RS 3 );
first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth shift elements (K 3 , B 2 , K 2 , B 1 , K 1 , K 4 );
a housing ( 2 ); and
first and second shafts ( 1 , 3 ),
wherein the drive shaft (An) is rotationally fixedly connectable by the first shift element (K 3 ) to the first shaft ( 1 ) and the first shaft is rotationally fixedly connectable by the second shift element (B 2 ) to the housing ( 2 ),
wherein a sun gear of the first planetary gear set (RS 1 ) is rotationally fixedly connectable by the third shift element (K 2 ) to the drive shaft (An), a carrier of the first planetary gear set (RS 1 ) is rotationally fixedly connected to the output shaft (Ab) and to a ring gear of the second planetary gear set (RS 2 ), and a ring gear of the first planetary gear set (RS 1 ) is rotationally fixedly connected to the second shaft ( 3 ), the second shaft ( 3 ) is rotationally fixedly connectable by the fourth shift element (B 1 ) to the housing ( 2 ),
wherein a carrier of the second planetary gear set (RS 2 ) is rotationally fixedly connectable by the fifth shift element (K 1 ) to the drive shaft (An) and is rotationally fixedly connected to a ring gear of the third planetary gear set (RS 3 ), and a sun gear of the second planetary gear set (RS 2 ) is rotationally fixedly connected to the first shaft ( 1 ), and
wherein a sun gear of the third planetary gear set (RS 3 ) is rotationally fixedly connected to the housing ( 2 ), and a carrier of the third planetary gear set (RS 3 ) is rotationally fixedly connectable by the sixth shift element (K 4 ) to the first shaft ( 1 ) and is rotationally fixedly connected to the second shaft ( 3 ).

2. The transmission of claim 1 , wherein the first shift element (K 3 ), the third shift element (K 2 ), the fifth shift element (K 1 ) and the sixth shift element (K 4 ) are clutches.

3. The transmission of claim 1 , wherein the second shift element (B 2 ) and the fourth shift element (B 1 ) are brakes.

4. The transmission of claim 1 , wherein the fourth shift element (B 1 ) and/or the third shift element (K 2 ) are positively locking shift elements.

5. The transmission of claim 1 , wherein the output shaft (Ab) extends transversely with respect to the drive shaft (An).

6. The transmission of claim 1 , wherein:
a first gear ratio (G 1 ) is selectively realizable by closing the fourth shift element (B 1 ) and the third shift element (K 2 ) with the remaining shift elements being open;
a second gear ratio (G 2 ) is selectively realizable by closing the second shift element (B 2 ) and the third shift element (K 2 ) with the remaining shift elements being open;
a third gear ratio (G 3 ) is selectively realizable by closing the first shift element (K 3 ) and the third shift element (K 2 ) with the remaining shift elements being open;
a fourth gear ratio (G 4 ) is selectively realizable by closing the third shift element (K 2 ) and the fifth shift element (K 1 ) with the remaining shift elements being open;
a fifth gear ratio (G 5 ) is selectively realizable by closing the first shift element (K 3 ) and the fifth shift element (K 1 ) with the remaining shift elements being open;
a sixth gear ratio (G 6 ) is selectively realizable by closing the fifth shift element (K 1 ) and the sixth shift element (K 4 ) with the remaining shift elements being open;
a seventh gear ratio (G 7 ) is selectively realizable by closing the second shift element (B 2 ) and the fifth shift element (K 1 ) with the remaining shift elements being open;
an eighth gear ratio (G 8 ) is selectively realizable by closing the first shift element (K 3 ) and the sixth shift element (K 4 ) with the remaining shift elements being open;
a reverse gear ratio (R 1 ) is selectively realizable by closing the first shift element (K 3 ) and the fourth shift element (B 1 ) with the remaining shift elements being open; and
an intermediate gear ratio (ZV) is selectively realizable by closing the third shift element (K 2 ) and the sixth shift element (K 4 ) with the remaining shift elements being open.

7. A hybrid transmission having a transmission according to claim 1 and an electric machine ( 4 ), wherein the electric machine ( 4 ) is operatively connected or operatively connectable to the transmission.

8. The hybrid transmission according to claim 7 , wherein the electric machine ( 4 ) is operatively connectable by a seventh shift element (K 5 ) to the drive shaft (An).

9. The hybrid transmission according to claim 8 , wherein the electric machine ( 4 ) is rotationally fixedly connected or connectable to the drive shaft (An) or is operatively connected or operatively connectable to the drive shaft (An) by at least one toothed gear ( 5 ) or by a traction mechanism ( 6 ).

10. The hybrid transmission according to claim 7 , further comprising an eighth shift element (K 0 ) for operatively connecting the drive shaft (An) to an output shaft ( 7 ) of a motor vehicle drive unit.

11. A motor vehicle having a hybrid transmission according to claim 7 .

12. A motor vehicle having a transmission according to claim 1 .
