Power split transmission

A power split transmission comprising:

• a drive shaft;
• an output shaft;
• a mechanical first branch and a second branch located between the drive shaft and the output shaft;
• and
• a planetary gear arrangement connecting at least a portion of the mechanical first branch and the second branch, the planetary gear arrangement comprising a plurality of connection elements;
• wherein the second branch comprises at least three energy converters;
• wherein the drive shaft is connected to one of the at least three energy converters and to a first connection element of the plurality of connection elements of the planetary gear arrangement;
• and
• wherein the output shaft is connected to a second connection element of the plurality of connection elements of the planetary gear arrangement.

A power split transmission having at least one drive shaft and at least one output shaft between which a mechanical first branch and a second branch are provided and connected to one another at least in part by a planetary gear arrangement;

• wherein the planetary gear arrangement comprises a plurality of connection elements;
• wherein the second branch comprises at least three rotary energy converters;
• wherein the drive shaft is connected to a first rotary energy converter of the at least three rotary energy converters and to a first connection element of the plurality of connection elements of the planetary gear arrangement;
• wherein the output shaft is connected to a second connection element of the plurality of connection elements of the planetary gear arrangement;
• wherein a second rotary energy converter of the at least three rotary energy converters is connected to one of:
• a drive shaft of the at least one drive shaft;
• or
• a third connection element of the plurality of connection elements of the planetary gear arrangement;
• and
• wherein a third rotary energy converter of the at least three rotary energy converters is connected to one of:
• an output shaft of the at least one output shaft;
• the third connection element of the planetary gear arrangement;
• or
• a fourth connection element of the plurality of connection elements of the planetary gear arrangement.
