A drive system with either a four-shaft epicyclic gearing consisting of two fixed links or one fixed link. A first shaft is coupled to an engine and a second shaft is connected to a first electric motor. The electric is coupled to the power supply of the industrial truck. A brake is coupled to a third shaft of the gearing , while a fourth shaft is coupled to a change gear. The change gear is coupled to a summing gear, the other input shaft connected to a second electric motor connected to the power supply. The output shaft is coupled to a driven wheel of the truck. A sensor device detects the speed of the engine and of the two motors. A control and regulating device sets the speeds and/or torque of the motors and of the engine according to setpoint signals and the output signals of the sensor device.
Drive system for an industrial truck comprising an internal combustion engine, a four-shaft epicyclic gearing comprising two or one fixed links with which a first shaft may be connected to a shaft of the internal combustion engine, a first electric motor which is mechanically coupled to a second shaft of the four-shaft epicyclic gearing and is electrically connected to an onboard power supply of the vehicle, a brake coupled to a fourth shaft of the four-shaft epicyclic gearing, a change gear coupled to a third shaft of the four-shaft epicyclic gearing, an output shaft of the change gear being connected to a second electric motor connected electrically to the onboard power supply and the output shaft of the change gear being coupled to at least one driven wheel of the industrial truck, at least one consumer for at least one additional function of the vehicle which is coupled to one of the shafts of the epicyclic gearing, a sensor device which detects the speed of the internal combustion engine and the first and second electric motor and generates corresponding signals, and a control and regulating device which controls or regulates the speeds and/or torques of the electric motors and the internal combustion engine according to setpoint signals of a set value generator actuated by the operator of the industrial truck and by taking as a basis the output signals of the sensor device, switches the motor operation or generator operation of the electric motors and controls the actuation of the change gear and the brake.
