Abstract
A power transmission system includes a simple planetary gearset and a compound planetary gearset. A first coupling mechanism associated with the simple planetary gearset selectively couples a component of the simple planetary gearset to ground, and a second coupling mechanism associated with the compound planetary gearset selectively couples a component of the compound planetary gearset to ground.
Claims20
A power transmission system comprising:
- a simple planetary gearset;
- a compound planetary gearset;
- a first coupling mechanism associated with the simple planetary gearset;
- and
- a second coupling mechanism associated with the compound planetary gearset wherein the first coupling mechanism selectively couples a component of the simple planetary gearset to ground, and the second coupling mechanism selectively couples a component of the compound planetary gearset to ground.
