Detailed Description
With reference to Figure 1 , there is shown a vehicle drivetrain 10 which uses an internal combustion engine as well as two electric motors to provide two forward speeds. More specifically, the vehicle drivetrain 10 includes an output shaft 12 for connecting to a drive of the vehicle, a first electric motor 14 arranged to drive the output shaft 12 in a first speed range, and a second electric motor 16 arranged to drive the output shaft 12 in a second speed range.
The first speed range is a first drive ratio of the output shaft 12 relative to a rotor 18 of the first electric motor 14, and the second speed range is a second drive ratio of the output shaft 12 relative to a rotor 20 of the second electric motor 16. In the example shown in Figure 1, the second electric motor 16 drives the output shaft 12 via a short lay shaft 22, by which the second electric motor 16 is in direct driving connection to the output shaft 12. The first electric motor 14 is in driving connection with the output shaft 12 by way of a long lay shaft 24, and a friction clutch which is operable to selectively couple/decouple the first electric motor 14 and the long lay shaft 24. The first electric motor 14 and the second electric motor 16 are housed within a common transmission housing 26. The drivetrain 10 includes an internal combustion engine 28 having an output shaft
30 in driving connection with the rotor 18 of the first electric motor 14. The output shaft 30 of the internal combustion engine 28 is in driving connection with the rotor 18 of the first electric motor 14 via a first friction clutch 32. The output shaft 30 of the internal combustion engine 28 is also in constant driving connection with the rotor 18 of the first electric motor 14 via a one way clutch 34 arranged such that the internal combustion engine 28 is able to drive the rotor 18 of the first electric motor 14 in one direction (ie. in the direction of operation of the internal combustion engine 28).
A second friction clutch 36 is provided between the rotor 18 and the long lay shaft 24 such that the first electric motor 14 is able to be selectively engaged/disengaged from the long lay shaft 24. Advantageously, by virtue of the provision of the first friction clutch 32, the first electric motor 14 is arranged to operate as a starting motor to start the internal combustion engine 28. Also, the first electric motor 14 and/or the second electric motor 16 is/are arranged to operate as a generator when the vehicle is driven by the internal combustion engine 28 and/or when the vehicle is coasting. As such, the first electric motor 14 and/or the second electric motor 16 is/are able to be used to charge an energy storage system of the vehicle in this way, and may incorporate a regenerative braking system.
In one form, all three of the first electric motor 14, the second electric motor 16 and the internal combustion engine 28 are arranged to launch the vehicle from a standstill, either individually or in combination.
The second friction clutch 36 may be used to drive the first electric motor 14 as a generator when driving in the second speed range under power of the second electric motor Figure 2 differs from Figure 1 in that the second electric motor 16 drives the output shaft 12 in a direct 1 :1 ratio, through the absence of the short lay shaft 22 which is present in Figure 1. In the examples shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first friction clutch 32 is adapted to be slipped for launching the vehicle from standstill when the internal combustion engine 28 is in operation. Advantageously, the examples shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings are able to provide drive of the output shaft 12 by way of the second electric motor 16 in the absence of hydraulic pressure which may be required to operate the friction clutches. The first and second electric motors 14, 16 may be operated in combination with the internal combustion engine 28 to provide a high torque launch of the vehicle.
In the example shown in Figure 3, drive units of the drive train 10 consist of only the first electric motor 14 and the second electric motor 16, as the internal combustion engine is omitted. In this form, the second electric motor 16 provides a direct drive of the output shaft 12 in a 1 :1 drive ratio, with the first electric motor 14 also being in constant direct driving connection with the output shaft 12 via the long lay shaft 24 to provide a second speed range. The second electric motor 16 may be able to operate in reverse so as to drive the output shaft 12 in a reverse speed range.
Each of the examples shown include a parking mechanism 38 which is able to selectively lock the output shaft 12 against rotation relative to the housing 26 of the transmission. Figure 4 shows an alternative example wherein the first electric motor 14 is mounted in a transverse orientation relative to the vehicle and is coupled to the output shaft 12 by a first gear 40. The second electric motor 16 is mounted in line with the first electric motor 14 and is coupled to the output shaft 12 by a second gear 42 in a different drive ratio. The drivetrain 10 shown in Figure 4 may be used in a front wheel drive configuration, or a transverse rear drive configuration. The second electric motor 16 is in direct engagement with the output shaft 12, and the first electric motor 14 is coupled to the first gear 40 via a friction clutch 44. In other examples, the friction clutch 44 may be omitted such that the first electric motor 14 is in direct driving engagement with the output shaft 12. The output shaft 12 is arranged in direct engagement with a housing of a differential 46 by a third gear 48.

It will be apparent to a person skilled in the relevant art that various changes in form and detail can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention should not be limited by any of the above described exemplary embodiments.
The short lay shaft 22 and the long lay shaft 24 may have helical/spur gears, and a hydraulic pump may be driven by the output shaft 12, an input shaft, either electric motor 14, 16, or may be accessory driven.
