Abstract

A method for the operation of a hybrid drive system is provided. The hybrid drive system has a first drive machine, for example an internal combustion engine, and a second drive machine, such as an electric machine. The hybrid drive system can also have a first gearshift sub-transmission and a second gearshift sub-transmission. The first gearshift sub-transmission can have a first input shaft that can be coupled to an output shaft using a first group of shifting gearwheel pairs, and the first input shaft can be coupled to the first drive machine. The second gearshift sub-transmission can have a second input shaft that is coupled to the output shaft using a second group of shifting gearwheel pairs, and the second input shaft can be connected with the second drive machine.

Claims (34)

1. A hybrid drive system comprising a first drive machine ( 11 ), in particular an internal combustion engine, and a second drive machine ( 12 ), in particular an electric engine, for a motor vehicle, comprising:

a first gearshift sub-transmission ( 15 ) having a first input shaft ( 17 ) that can be coupled to an output shaft ( 28 ) by means of a first group of shifting gearwheel pairs ( 41 / 51 , 42 / 52 , 43 / 53 , 44 / 54 ), wherein the first input shaft ( 17 ) can be coupled to the first drive machine ( 11 ), a second gearshift sub-transmission ( 16 ) having a second input shaft ( 18 ) that can be coupled to the output shaft ( 28 ) by means of a second group of shifting gearwheel pairs ( 45 / 51 , 46 / 52 , 47 / 53 , 48 / 54 ), wherein the second input shaft ( 18 ) is in a drive connection with the second drive machine ( 12 ),

characterized in that

at least two shifting gearwheel pairs ( 41 / 51 , 42 / 52 ) of the groups of shifting gearwheel pairs are formed by exclusively engaging and disengaging idler gears in the first gearshift sub-transmission ( 15 ) that are arranged on the first input shaft ( 17 ) and the output shaft ( 28 ).

2. The hybrid drive system according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

on the first input shaft ( 17 ) exclusively engaging and disengaging idler gears ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ) are provided.

3. The hybrid drive system according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

in the second gearshift sub-transmission ( 16 ) exclusively shifting gearwheel pairs from one fixed gear connected to its shaft and one engaging and disengaging idler gear connected to its shaft are provided.

4. The hybrid drive system according to claim 3 ,

characterized in that

in the second gearshift sub-transmission ( 16 ) two engaging and disengaging idler gears ( 47 , 48 ) are arranged on the second input shaft ( 18 ) and two engaging and disengaging idler gears ( 51 , 52 ) are arranged on the output shaft ( 28 ).

5. The hybrid drive system according claim 1 ,

characterized in that

the first drive machine ( 11 ) can be coupled to the first input shaft ( 17 ) via a friction clutch ( 14 ).

6. The hybrid drive system according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

the second drive machine ( 12 ) is arranged directly on the second input shaft ( 18 ).

7. The hybrid drive system according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

an auxiliary drive machine ( 13 ), in particular an air conditioner compressor is arranged on one of the input shafts ( 17 , 18 ).

8. The hybrid drive system according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

the second drive machine ( 12 ) is drive-connected to the second input shaft ( 18 ) via a transmission step ( 22 / 32 ) or a chain or belt drive.

9. The hybrid drive system according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

an auxiliary drive machine ( 13 ), in particular an air conditioner compressor is drive-connected to one of the input shafts ( 17 , 18 ) via a transmission step ( 23 / 33 ) or a chain or belt drive.

10. The hybrid drive system according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

the two input shafts ( 17 , 18 ) and the output shaft ( 28 ) are in parallel arrangement to one another.

11. The hybrid drive system according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

one of the gearshift sub-transmissions ( 15 , 16 ) comprises a reverse gear.
