Abstract

The invention relates to a transmission ( 100 ) for a hybrid drive arrangement which can be coupled to two drive assemblies ( 7, 8 ), comprising an input shaft ( 10 ) and an output shaft ( 11 ), at least one first and one second shifting element (SE 1 , SE 2 ) and at least one double planetary gear ( 5 ). The input shaft ( 10 ) is connected to the planetary carrier of the double planetary gear ( 5 ) and the output shaft ( 11 ) can be coupled to the first ring gear of the double planetary gear ( 5 ) by means of the first shifting element (SE 1 ) and can be coupled to the second ring gear of the double planetary gear ( 5 ) and by means of the second shifting element (SE 2 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A transmission ( 100 ) for a hybrid drive arrangement, the transmission ( 100 ) configured to be coupled to two drive units ( 7 , 8 ), and comprising:
an input shaft ( 10 ) and an output shaft ( 11 ),
at least a first and a second shifting element (SE 1 , SE 2 )
and at least one double planetary transmission ( 5 ), having a first sun gear and a first internal gear and a second sun gear and a second internal gear and a planetary carrier, the input shaft ( 10 ) being coupled to the planetary carrier of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ), the transmission ( 100 ) further configured to couple the output shaft ( 11 ) via the first shifting element (SE 1 ) to the first internal gear of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ) and via the second shifting element (SE 2 ) to the second internal gear of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ), and additionally configured to couple an internal combustion engine to the input shaft ( 10 ), and an electric machine to the first internal gear of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ).

2. The transmission as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a third shifting element (SE 3 ) which is set up to brake or to release the first sun gear of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ).

3. The transmission as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a fourth shifting element (SE 4 ) which is set up to brake or to release the second sun gear of the planetary transmission ( 5 ).

4. The transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first, the second shifting element, or both the first and seconding shifting element (SE 1 , SE 2 ) comprise a coupling.

5. The transmission as claimed in claim 1 ,
the third, the fourth, or both the third and fourth shifting element (SE 3 , SE 4 ) comprise a brake.

6. The transmission as claimed in claim 1 further configured to change the transmission ratios of the transmission ( 100 ) without the traction force being interrupted.

7. The transmission as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an actuator ( 50 ) for actuating at least one of the shifting elements (SE 1 . . . SE 4 ) in a manner which is dependent on a predefined operating specification signal (BV).

8. The hybrid drive arrangement ( 200 ) having a transmission ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , the hybrid drive arrangement comprising a second drive unit ( 8 ), a pulse inverter ( 60 ), an energy source ( 70 ), a first drive unit ( 7 ), or a combination of the same.

9. A vehicle ( 300 ) having a hybrid drive arrangement ( 200 ) as claimed in claim 8 .

10. A method ( 400 ) for operating a hybrid drive arrangement ( 200 ) having a transmission ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , the method comprising:
determining ( 410 ) an operating specification signal (BV)
actuating ( 420 ) at least one of the shifting elements (SE 1 . . . SE 4 ) in order to set the functionality of the transmission ( 100 ) in a manner which is dependent on the operating specification signal (BV).

11. A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to control a hybrid drive arrangement ( 200 ) having a transmission ( 100 ) that is configured to be coupled to two drive units ( 7 , 8 ), and includes
an input shaft ( 10 ) and an output shaft ( 11 ), at least a first and a second shifting element (SE 1 , SE 2 ), and
at least one double planetary transmission ( 5 ), having a first sun gear and a first internal gear and a second sun gear and a second internal gear and a planetary carrier, the input shaft ( 10 ) being coupled to the planetary carrier of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ),
the transmission ( 100 ) further configured to couple the output shaft ( 11 ) via the first shifting element (SE 1 ) to the first internal gear of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ) and via the second shifting element (SE 2 ) to the second internal gear of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ), and additionally configured to couple an internal combustion engine to the input shaft ( 10 ), and an electric machine to the first internal gear of the double planetary transmission ( 5 ),
wherein the instructions when executed by the computer further cause the computer to
determine ( 410 ) an operating specification signal (BV); and
actuate ( 420 ) at least one of the shifting elements (SE 1 . . . SE 4 ) in order to set the functionality of the transmission ( 100 ) in a manner which is dependent on the operating specification signal (BV) transmission.
