Abstract
A transmission may include an input shaft, a first output shaft, a second output shaft, a first planetary gearset, and a second planetary gearset connected to the first planetary gearset, where the planetary gearsets each comprise numerous elements. The input shaft, the two output shafts, the planetary gearsets, and their elements may be arranged and designed such that a torque input via the input shaft is converted and distributed in a defined ratio to the two output shafts, and the formation of a combined torque is prevented. At least a third element of the first planetary gearset may be connected to a first element of the second planetary gearset via a shaft for conjoint rotation.
Claims19
A transmission comprising:
- an input shaft,
- a first output shaft,
- a second output shaft, a first planetary gearset, and
- a second planetary gearset connected to the first planetary gearset,
- wherein the input shaft, the first and second output shafts, the first and second planetary gearsets are arranged and designed such that:
- a torque input via the input shaft is converted and distributed in a defined ratio to the first and second output shafts, and
- formation of a combined torque is prevented,
- wherein at least a third element of the first planetary gearset is connected to a first element of the second planetary gearset with a shaft for conjoint rotation, and
- a second element of the second planetary gearset is fixed in place on a non-rotating component,
- wherein the shaft is positioned axially on at least one planet gear of one of the first and second planetary gearsets, and
- wherein an axial positioning of the shaft is obtained via at least one thrust element in a form of a thrust collar such that an axial support of the shaft is obtained through thrust applied to the at least one planet gear of one of the first and second planetary gearsets.
