A hybrid transmission device () includes a first transmission input shaft (), a second transmission input shaft (), a superposition gear unit () arranged axially parallel to the first transmission input shaft () and to the second transmission input shaft () and configured for connecting an electric machine (). The superposition gear unit () includes a first planetary gear set (P) with a sun gear (P), a ring gear (P), and a planet carrier (P) with planet gears (P) rotatably arranged thereon. A gear reduction stage () includes a first spur gear pair (ST) and a second spur gear pair (ST) for connecting the superposition gear unit () to a differential (). At least a first shift element (A), a second shift element (B), and a third shift element (C) are configured for implementing an electrodynamic driving-off process and a purely electric or hybridized drive of the motor vehicle.

Hybrid transmission device and motor vehicle comprising a hybrid transmission device

A transmission has an input shaft, an output shaft coaxial to the input shaft, an intermediate shaft, a differential gear, and only one electric machine for driving a hybrid vehicle. The rotational axes of the input shaft, the intermediate shaft, the differential gear, and a rotor of the electric machine are axially parallel. The differential gear includes torque-transmitting interfaces to drive shafts connected to driving wheels of the hybrid vehicle. Torque is transmitted between the output shaft and the differential gear via the intermediate shaft. The rotor is permanently connected, via a constant gear ratio, to either the input shaft or a further shaft of the transmission. The rotational axis of the intermediate shaft is arranged spatially below a connection line between the rotational axes of the input shaft and the differential gear, and the rotational axis of the rotor is arranged spatially above the connection line.

A parking lock in a vehicle transmission includes a locking mechanism for locking and releasing a parking interlock gear () and an actuating unit. The actuating unit is coupled via a coupling mechanism to the locking mechanism in order to actuate the locking mechanism between an interlock position and a release position of the parking interlock gear (). The parking lock is arranged on an intermediate plate () in a housing of the vehicle transmission.

A vane cell pump for a transmission of a motor vehicle includes a housing. A rotor defines a plurality of slots. The plurality of slots runs radially. A plurality of vanes is arranged in the plurality of slots of the rotor. An end plate is positioned in a bottom area of the housing. The end plate is configured as a fluid guide with a suction channel and a pressure channel. The end plate forms a bottom wall of the housing.

Vane pump

A transmission oil sump comprises a main oil compartment, in which a suction line of an oil pump is located, and a secondary oil compartment. The secondary oil compartment is in fluid communication with the main oil compartment via an opening. To prevent the introduction of air during rapid acceleration, cornering at high speeds and/or rapid deceleration of the vehicle, a barrier closes the opening to prevent the flow of oil out of the main oil compartment into the secondary oil compartment so that the oil level, required for the oil pump in the main compartment, remains adequately high. When not closed, the opening of the secondary oil compartment is open to ensure oil flow from the secondary oil compartment to the main oil compartment. The secondary oil compartments is arranged so as to collect oil that leaks from transmission components.

Gear oil chamber

A countershaft-type dual clutch transmission for a vehicle has two clutches having input sides connected to a driveshaft (AN) and output sides connected respectively to one of two transmission input shafts arranged coaxial to a mainshaft axis. A sub-transmission is associated in each instance with the transmission input shafts, at least two countershafts, a plurality of gear planes to which are assigned gear ratio steps, and at least one output shaft which can be connected to the sub-transmissions via an output gear plane. Only six gear planes with at least nine assigned gear ratio steps can be realized via only four double shift elements and at least one single shift element. Each countershaft can be coupled with four gear ratio steps via double shift elements, and one of the transmission input shafts can be coupled with a gear ratio step via a single shift element.

A bearing arrangement for mounting a gear bolt () as the bearing axle for a gearwheel () in a transmission housing. The gear bolt () is held in the transmission housing by only a single component in the form of an intermediate plate ().
