Patent ID: 8182386

Claim:
A transmission device ( 15 ) comprising: at least first and second output shafts ( 16 , 17 ) and at least first and second multi-shaft planetary gearsets ( 18 , 19 ) being actively connected with one another, a shaft ( 20 , 21 ) of each of the first and the second planetary gearsets ( 18 , 19 ) being actively connectable with a respective one of the first and second output shafts ( 16 , 17 ); and a shifting mechanism ( 22 ), provided between the first and the second output shafts ( 16 , 17 ), for shifting between one of a first power path and a second power path such that, in an area of a further shaft ( 24 ) of one of the first and the second planetary gearsets ( 18 , 19 ), torque from an electric machine ( 25 ) being transmittable along one of the first and the second power paths in such manner that, when the first power path is engaged, the torque from the electric machine ( 25 ) being transmitted in equal amounts and with the same sign to the first and the second output shafts ( 16 , 17 ), and when the second power path is engaged, the torque from the electric machine ( 25 ) is transmitted in equal amounts but with opposite signs; wherein the first planetary gearset ( 18 ), in an area of which the torque from the electric machine ( 25 ) is transmittable, is a simple negative planetary gearset.
