Abstract

A hybrid dual-clutch transmission includes a first sub-transmission and a second sub-transmission, a first countershaft, a first output gear non-rotatably connected to the first countershaft, a second countershaft, a dual clutch, which has a first clutch assigned to the first sub-transmission and a second clutch assigned to the second sub-transmission, a separating clutch and an electric motor. The electric motor is or can be coupled to the separating clutch and to the dual clutch.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hybrid dual-clutch transmission, comprising:
a first sub-transmission;
a second sub-transmission;
a first countershaft;
a first output gear connected non-rotatably to the first countershaft;
a second countershaft;
a dual clutch, which has a first clutch assigned to the first sub-transmission and a second clutch assigned to the second sub-transmission;
a separating clutch;
a second output gear rotatably mounted on the second countershaft;
an output switch element configured for switching the second output gear, wherein the second output gear has a larger diameter than the first output gear; and
an electric motor, wherein a rotor of the electric motor is couplable to an output side of the separating clutch and to an input side of the dual clutch,
wherein a differential cage of an axle transmission is arranged at least partially axially overlapping with the dual clutch,
wherein a third gearwheel assigned to the first sub-transmission and a seventh gearwheel assigned to the first sub-transmission are arranged coaxially with the second countershaft,
wherein a first gearwheel assigned to the first sub-transmission is arranged coaxially with the first countershaft,
wherein, as viewed in an axial direction, the following are arranged one after another in the following order, the dual clutch, an output gear plane, a fifth wheel plane assigned to a second forward gear, a fourth wheel plane assigned to a fourth forward gear, a third wheel plane assigned to a sixth forward gear, and the first sub-transmission,
wherein the output switch element is arranged axially between the output gear plane and the fourth wheel plane,
wherein a reverse gear is formed by a third gearwheel, which is arranged coaxially with the second countershaft, being arranged permanently meshing with a first gearwheel arranged coaxially with the first countershaft.

2. The hybrid dual-clutch transmission of claim 1 , wherein a fifth gearwheel of the first sub-transmission and the seventh gearwheel of the first sub-transmission are arranged on a first wheel plane, which is a double wheel plane.

3. The hybrid dual-clutch transmission of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-transmission comprises exactly four switch elements.

4. The hybrid dual-clutch transmission of claim 1 , wherein an axial extension of a toothing of the second output gear is substantially smaller than an axial extension of a toothing of the first output gear.

5. The hybrid dual-clutch transmission of claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of a first sliding sleeve of the output switch element is smaller than a root diameter of the second output gear.

6. The hybrid dual-clutch transmission of claim 5 , wherein the second sub-transmission has a synchronizer body, which can be non-rotatably coupled to the second output gear and can be non-rotatably coupled to a fourth gearwheel, wherein the first sliding sleeve and a second sliding sleeve are arranged coaxially and axially overlapping with the synchronizer body.

7. The hybrid dual-clutch transmission of claim 1 , wherein a switch element of the second sub-transmission is arranged axially between the fourth gearwheel of the second sub-transmission and the third gearwheel of the first sub-transmission.

8. The hybrid dual-clutch transmission of claim 5 , wherein the first sliding sleeve is non-rotatably connected to the second output gear in a neutral position and mounted in an axially displaceable manner on the second output gear.

9. The hybrid dual-clutch transmission of claim 5 , wherein the first sliding sleeve is arranged at least partially axially overlapping with a toothing of an axle transmission input gear of an axle transmission.
