Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for a dual motor electric transmission configured with two dual synchronizers to reduce torque interruption during gear shifting. In one example, a method may include dropping torque of a first electric motor, allowing a first synchronizer to shift from a first gear arrangement to a second gear arrangement, and compensating for dropped torque with a second electric motor. The method may be repeated to shift a second synchronizer from the first gear arrangement to the second gear arrangement, allowing uninterrupted torque supply during gear shifting.
Abstract:
A drive engages a shaft (4) and, via at least one shaft (5, 6) of a transmission, an electric machine. An output can be connected to another shaft (9). During gear shifts, the shafts (4, 5, 6, 9) are couple such that the rotational speed of the shaft (5, 6), which can couple the electric machine when torque at the shaft (9) is equivalent to the torque of the electric machine, and is a product of the gear ratio between the shaft (5, 6) and the shaft (9) and the rotational speed of the shaft (9) or, when torque present at the shaft (9), is equal to the torque of the drive engine or electric machine, and is a sum of the product of the rotational speed of the shaft (4) and a first variable, and the product of the rotational speed of the shaft (9) and a second variable.

Abstract:
A fast automated gear shift operation is performed using a powertrain in a hybrid vehicle, the powertrain including a gear box, an engine, at least one controllable motor, a torque ripple damping device, a mechanical connecting device for connecting or disconnecting the engine to or from, respectively, wheels of the vehicle. In the gear shift operation the motor is controlled to perform a sequence of steps in which different torques are delivered by the motor to temporarily change the speed thereof. The torques are selected so that they to reduce the mechanical tension over at least one elastic part of the powertrain. Hence it can be achieved, that during at least a period during the gear shift operation torques over mechanical elements in the gear box cooperating in the current gear and/or over the mechanical connecting device are eliminated or at least strongly reduced. The period should be sufficiently long so as to permit disconnection of said mechanical elements cooperating for the present gear and/or to permit disconnection of the mechanical connection device.

Depending on the shift position of at least one shifting element, the electric machine can be coupled to the force flow or the torque flow of the drivetrain between the main transmission and the downstream group of countershaft design and/or between the downstream group of a countershaft design and the axle drive.
Abstract:
In a hybrid power system, when a change-speed stage selected in one of gear-shift mechanisms for first and second drive trains is switched over to another change-speed stage in the other gear-shift mechanism, deceleration in rotation speed of an engine detected by a rotation speed sensor is compared with a preset upper limit. When the deceleration in rotation speed of the engine exceeds the upper limit, the motor-generator in drive connection with an input shaft of the second drive train is activated as an electric motor to cause load torque canceling or offsetting input torque applied to the input shaft of the other gear-shift mechanism from the engine, and engagement of the change-speed stage in the other gear-shift mechanism is released after the occurrence of the load torque.
