Abstract

A powertrain for a hybrid vehicle may include a first input shaft connected to a motor generator and coupled to a dog clutch apparatus, and a second input shaft connected to an engine and coupled to a planetary gear set, in which when the vehicle is overdriven, the dog clutch apparatus is engaged and restricts one component of the planetary gear set.

Claims (18)

1. A powertrain for a hybrid vehicle, comprising:

a first input shaft connected to a motor generator and coupled to a dog clutch apparatus;

a second input shaft connected to an engine and coupled to a planetary gear set,

wherein when the vehicle is overdriven, the dog clutch apparatus is engaged and restricts one component of the planetary gear set,

wherein a first free gear, which is connected to a sun gear that is one of the components of the planetary gear set when the dog clutch is engaged, is disposed at an end of the first input shaft,

wherein a third input shaft having a first rotary gear and a second rotary gear at both ends is provided to be connected to a ring gear of the planetary gear set and to transmit power from the engine when the dog clutch is engaged; and

an output shaft having a driving gear engaged and rotated with the first rotary gear.

2. The powertrain of claim 1 , wherein when the vehicle runs at a high speed, synchronization is performed by an external power source by restricting rotation of the motor generator and then the dog clutch apparatus is engaged with a fixing apparatus.

3. The powertrain of claim 2 , wherein when the vehicle runs at the high speed, the dog clutch is engaged with the fixing apparatus, rotation of the sun gear of the planetary gear set is restricted, a carrier of the planetary gear set is rotated by power from the engine, and the second rotary gear engaged with the carrier and the driving gear are rotated and transmit power to the output shaft and the vehicle starts to run at an overdrive gear ratio.

4. A powertrain for a hybrid vehicle, comprising:

a first input shaft connected to a motor generator and coupled to a dog clutch apparatus; and

a second input shaft connected to an engine and coupled to a planetary gear set,

wherein when the vehicle is overdriven, the dog clutch apparatus is engaged and restricts one component of the planetary gear set,

wherein a first free gear, which is connected to a sun gear that is one of the components of the planetary gear set when the dog clutch is engaged, is disposed at an end of the first input shaft,

wherein a third input shaft having a first rotary gear and a second rotary gear at both ends is provided to be connected to a ring gear of the planetary gear set and to transmit power from the engine when the dog clutch is engaged, and

wherein when the vehicle runs at a high speed, synchronization is performed by an external power source by restricting rotation of the motor generator and then the dog clutch apparatus is engaged with a fixing apparatus.

5. The powertrain of claim 4 , further comprising an output shaft having a driving gear engaged and rotated with the first rotary gear.

6. The powertrain of claim 4 , wherein when the vehicle runs at the high speed, the dog clutch is engaged with the fixing apparatus, rotation of the sun gear of the planetary gear set is restricted, a carrier of the planetary gear set is rotated by power from the engine, and the second rotary gear engaged with the carrier and the driving gear are rotated and transmit power to the output shaft and the vehicle starts to run at an overdrive gear ratio.
