Patent ID: 7125358

Claim:
A distributor transmission ( 8 ) for distributing an input drive torque (M_GE) from an engine ( 2 ) and a main transmission ( 3 ) between a first drive axle ( 5 ) and a second drive axle ( 4 ), the distributor transmission ( 8 ) comprising: a first countershaft ( 15 ) connected to the first drive axle ( 5 ) for transmitting a first portion of the input drive torque (M_GE) to the first drive axle ( 5 ); a second countershaft ( 24 ) connected to the second drive axle ( 4 ) for transmitting a second portion of the input drive torque (M_GE) to the second drive axle ( 4 ); a first planetary gear set ( 8 A) and a second planetary gear set ( 8 B) having a first shaft ( 11 ) forming a common ring gear ( 17 ) for the first and the second planetary gear sets ( 8 A, 8 B) and driven by the first countershaft ( 15 ); a second shaft ( 12 ) formed as a planetary carrier ( 22 ) of the second planetary gear set ( 8 B) and driving the second countershaft ( 24 ); and a third shaft ( 13 ) driving a sun gear ( 25 ) of the first planetary gear set ( 8 A) and driven by a machine device torque (M_E) from a machine device ( 14 ); wherein, during operation of the distributor transmission ( 8 ), the machine device torque (M_E) controls distributor of the first portion of the input drive torque (M_GE), transmitted to the first drive axle ( 5 ), and the second portion of the input drive torque (M_GE), transmitted to the second drive axle ( 4 ).
