Abstract

Provided are a vehicle transmission and a vehicle powertrain device including the same. The present disclosure includes a driving sun gear receiving a driving force transmitted from a motor, a first sun gear having the same rotating axis as the driving sun gear, a second sun gear inserted into the first sun gear and having the same rotating axis as the first sun gear, a planetary gear provided with a plurality of stages which respectively mesh with the driving sun gear, the first sun gear, and the second sun gear, and a carrier to which the planetary gear is coupled so as to be rotatable and into which the first sun gear and the second sun gear are inserted.

Claims (51)

1. A vehicle transmission comprising:

a driving sun gear receiving a driving force from a motor;

a first sun gear having a same rotating axis as the driving sun gear;

a second sun gear inserted into the first sun gear and having a same rotating axis as the first sun gear;

a plurality of planetary gears comprising a plurality of stages, the plurality of stages respectively meshing with the driving sun gear, the first sun gear, and the second sun gear;

a carrier coupled to rotate a planetary gear and into which the first sun gear and the second sun gear are inserted; and

a base coupled to the carrier,

wherein the carrier comprises:

an output gear disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the carrier and meshing with a differential device; and

a plurality of bumps extending toward the motor in a circumferential direction,

wherein the planetary gear comprises:

a plurality of input idle gears meshing with the driving sun gear;

a plurality of first idle gears meshing with the first sun gear; and

a plurality of second idle gears meshing with the second sun gear,

wherein the base comprises:

a body in which a plurality of cut parts where the plurality of planetary gears is seated respectively, and a plurality of protrusions adjacent to the plurality of cut parts are repeatedly disposed on the upper surface thereof;

a plurality of first supporters fixed on the plurality of cut parts respectively and into which the plurality of planetary gears is inserted; and

a plurality of second supporters fixed on the plurality of the bumps respectively,

wherein the input idle gear is disposed between the plurality of protrusions,

wherein the first idle gear and the second idle gear are disposed between the bumps,

wherein a length in the circumferential direction of the bumps is longer than a length in the circumferential direction of the protrusions,

wherein a diameter of the input idle gear is greater than diameters of the first idle gear and the second idle gear.

2. The vehicle transmission of claim 1 , wherein the second idle gear is integrally formed with an upper surface of the input idle gear, and the first idle gear is integrally formed with an upper surface of the second idle gear.

3. The vehicle transmission of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the input idle gear is different from a diameter of the first idle gear or a diameter of the second idle gear.

4. The vehicle transmission of claim 1 , further comprising a body assembled with the carrier to support the planetary gear and comprising an internal space into which the driving sun gear is inserted.

5. A vehicle powertrain device comprising a motor, a transmission connected to the motor, a differential device connected to the transmission, and a brake unit braking the transmission, wherein the transmission comprises:

a driving sun gear connected to the motor;

a first sun gear having a same rotating axis as the driving sun gear;

a second sun gear inserted into the first sun gear and having a same rotating axis as the first sun gear;

a planetary gear comprising a plurality of stages, the plurality of stages respectively meshing with the driving sun gear, the first sun gear, and the second sun gear;

a carrier coupled to rotate the planetary gear and into which the first sun gear and the second sun gear are inserted, and

a based coupled to the carrier,

wherein the planetary gear rotates when the drive sun gear rotates, and operates the brake unit to selectively brake a rotation of the first sun gear or the second sun gear in a circumferential direction to rotate the carrier,

wherein the carrier comprises:

an output gear disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the carrier and meshing with a differential device; and

a plurality of bumps extending toward the motor in a circumferential direction,

wherein the planetary gear comprises:

a plurality of input idle gears meshing with the driving sun gear;

a plurality of first idle gears meshing with the first sun gear; and

a plurality of second idle gears meshing with the second sun gear,

wherein the base comprises:

a body in which a plurality of cut parts where a plurality of planetary gears is seated respectively, and a plurality of protrusions adjacent to the plurality of cut parts are repeatedly disposed on the upper surface of thereof;

a plurality of first supporters fixed on the plurality of cut parts respectively and into which the plurality of planetary gears is inserted; and

a plurality of second supporters fixed on the plurality of the bumps respectively,

wherein the input idle gear is disposed between the plurality of protrusions,

wherein the first idle gear and the second idle gear are disposed between the bumps,

wherein a length in the circumferential direction of the bumps is longer than a length in the circumferential direction of the protrusions,

wherein a diameter of the input idle gear is greater than diameters of the first idle gear and the second idle gear.

6. The vehicle powertrain device of claim 5 ,

wherein the motor and the transmission are arranged in a line,

and wherein a rotating axis of the motor is same as a rotating axis of the driving sun gear, a rotating axis of the first sun gear, and a rotating axis of the second sun gear.
