Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A powertrain apparatus may include a planetary gear set including a first rotary member connected to a first motor and selectively operating as an input element or a fixing element, a second rotary member supplied with power from an engine and selectively operating as an input element, and a third rotary member connected to an output shaft and selectively operating as an output element, a second motor supplying power to a motor input shaft, and a transmission including a plurality of pairs of engaged gears forming different transmission gear ratios, the pairs of engaged gears being provided on the motor input shaft and the output shaft, respectively, with an engaging unit provided on the motor input shaft at a location between the pairs of engaged gears and selecting one of the pairs of engaged gears corresponding to a driving speed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A powertrain apparatus for a vehicle, comprising: a planetary gear set including: a first rotary member connected to a first motor and selectively operating as an input element or a fixing element; a second rotary member supplied with power from an engine and selectively operating as an input element; and a third rotary member continuously connected to an output shaft and operating as an output element; a second motor supplying power to and continuously connected to a motor input shaft; and a transmission including a plurality of pairs of engaged gears forming different transmission gear ratios, the pairs of engaged gears being provided on the motor input shaft and the output shaft, respectively, with an engaging unit provided on the motor input shaft at a location between the pairs of engaged gears and selecting one of the pairs of engaged gears corresponding to a driving speed. 2. The powertrain apparatus of claim 1 , wherein in the planetary gear set, the first rotary member is a sun gear, the second rotary member is a carrier, and the third rotary member is a ring gear. 3. The powertrain apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a friction member is connected to the first rotary member of the planetary gear set so that the first rotary member selectively operates as a fixing element. 4. The powertrain apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the friction member is a dog clutch selectively engaged between a transmission case and the first rotary member. 5. The powertrain apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the engaging unit is a dog clutch. 6. The powertrain apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the friction member is a brake fixed to a transmission case to brake the first rotary member.
