Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hybrid vehicle transmission including a double-rotor electric machine, two planetary gear sets, an input shaft, and an output shaft, where the input shaft, the output shaft, and a first rotor of the double-rotor electric machine are each coupled to a member of the first planetary gear set, the output shaft and a second rotor of the double-rotor electric machine are each coupled to a member of the second planetary gear set, and a member of the second planetary gear set not coupled to the output shaft or the second rotor is selectively coupled to the first rotor via a first torque transfer device, and selectively coupled to a transmission housing via a second torque transfer device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hybrid vehicle transmission comprising: a first planetary gear set having a first sun gear, a first ring gear, a plurality of first planet gears, and a first planetary carrier; an input shaft coupled to the first ring gear to transfer power between an engine and the first ring gear; a second planetary gear set having a second sun gear, a second ring gear, a plurality of second planet gears, and a second planetary carrier; an output shaft couple…
