Patent ID: 7914412

Claim:
A load shift transmission ( 1 ) for a utility vehicle, comprising a main input shaft ( 8 ), a split group ( 3 ), a main group ( 4 ) and a range group ( 5 ), and having a dual clutch ( 2 ) with two operating clutches (K 1 , K 2 ), a main shaft ( 26 ) and at least one countershaft ( 12 , 12 a ), the split group ( 3 ) including concentric inner and outer input shafts ( 6 , 7 ) and the countershafts ( 12 , 12 a ) having a plurality of input constants (E 1 , E 2 , E 3 ) comprising loose gearwheels ( 13 , 14 , 15 ) on the outer input shaft ( 7 ) and first and second shift elements (S 1 , S 2 ) for connecting the outer input shaft ( 7 ) selectively via one of the loose gear wheels ( 13 , 14 , 15 ) to the at least one countershaft ( 12 , 12 a ), the inner input shaft ( 6 ) being connectable by a third shift element (S 3 ) for rotation with the main shaft ( 26 ) which is part of the main group ( 4 ) for providing a direct transmission gear, the range group ( 5 ) being connected at an input side thereof to the main shaft ( 26 ) and an output shaft ( 32 ) being connected to an output side of the range group ( 5 ), the range group ( 5 ) including a final shift element (S 5 ) for locking the range group so as to provide a direct drive connection from the input shaft ( 8 ) to the output shaft ( 32 ) without interposition of meshing gear wheels into the power transmission path from the main input shaft ( 8 ) to the output shaft ( 32 ) which are arranged coaxially.
