Gearbox for a hybrid powertrain and method to control the gearbox

Abstract

A gearbox that includes an input shaft (8) and an output shaft (20); a first epicyclic gear (10) that is connected to the input shaft (8); a second epicyclic gear (12) that is connected to the first epicyclic gear (10); a first electrical machine (14) that is connected to the first epicyclic gear (10); a second electrical machine (16) that is connected to the second epicyclic gear (12); a first gear pair (60) that is arranged between the first epicyclic gear (10) and the output shaft (20); and a second gear pair (66) that is arranged between the second epicyclic gear (12) and the output shaft (20). A side shaft (18) is arranged between one of the epicyclic gears (10, 12) and the output shaft (20) (18) and connected to the output shaft (20) through a final gear, (21) (21) which includes a gear element (92), that is arranged at the side shaft (18) in a disengagable manner. Also, disclosed is a method for controlling the gearbox. Also a vehicle (1) that includes such a gearbox (2), and a method to control such a gearbox (2). Also a computer program (P) to control a gearbox (2).
