Abstract

A motor vehicle transmission device which, in order to form a plurality of gears, forms a Lepelletier transmission. At least one torsional damper is provided in the Lepelletier transmission, and also to a motor vehicle drive train, which has a Lepelletier motor vehicle transmission device.

Claims (18)

1. A motor vehicle transmission device, comprising:

a Lepelletier transmission forming a plurality of shiftable gear speeds,

wherein at least one torsion damper is provided in the Lepelletier transmission,

wherein the Lepelletier transmission has a first component transmission and a second component transmission, the first component transmission has a sun gear, a plurality of planet gears, a ring gear and a planet carrier, and the second component transmission forms a Ravigneaux transmission and therefore has a small sun gear, a large sun gear, long planet gears, short planet gears, a planet carrier for the long planet ears and the short planet gears and a ring gear, a first clutch is provided in torque flux or force flux between the planet carrier of the first component transmission and the small sun gear of the Ravigneaux transmission, a second clutch is provided in the torque flux or the force flux between the planet carrier of the first component transmission and the large sun gear of the Ravigneaux transmission, and a third clutch is provided by means of which a rotationally fixed coupling can be produced and released between the ring gear of the first component transmission and the planet carrier of the Ravigneaux transmission,

wherein the first clutch and/or the second clutch and/or the third clutch are configured as a multi-disc clutch, and

wherein the torsion damper is integrated in a disc carrier of the first clutch and/or in a disc carrier of the second clutch and/or in a disc carrier of the third clutch.

2. The motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the torsion damper has a plurality of springs which are each configured as helical springs.

3. The motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the springs are supported, in a contact-forming fashion, on the disc carrier of the first clutch and/or on the disc carrier of the second clutch and/or on the disc carrier of the third clutch.

4. The motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the torsion damper is arranged in the force flux or the torque flux, between the planet carrier of the first component transmission and the first clutch.

5. The motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the torsion damper, is arranged in the force flux or the torque flux, between the planet carrier of the first component transmission and the second clutch.

6. The motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the torsion damper is arranged in the force flux or the torque flux, between the third clutch and the planet carrier of the Ravigneaux transmission.

7. The motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the torsion damper is arranged in the force flux or the torque flux, between the second clutch and the large sun gear of the Ravigneaux transmission.

8. The motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the torsion damper is arranged in the force flux or the torque flux, between the first clutch and the small sun gear of the Ravigneaux transmission.

9. The motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the torsion damper is arranged in the force flux or the torque flux, between the first clutch and the second clutch.

10. A motor vehicle drive train, comprising:

an internal combustion engine for driving the drive train; and

the motor vehicle transmission device as claimed in claim 1 .

11. The motor vehicle drive train as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a torque converter and converter lockup clutch are provided between the internal combustion engine and the transmission device.
