Abstract:
A transmission arrangement for a vehicle includes a first, a second, a third, and a fourth planetary gear set including a sun gear, a planet carrier and a ring gear, respectively, wherein the transmission arrangement further includes a transmission housing, an input shaft and an output shaft, wherein the sun gear of the first planetary gear set and the input shaft are operatively connected to each other; the ring gear of the first planetary gear set and the ring gear of the second planetary gear set are operatively connected to each other; the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set and the sun gear of the third planetary gear set are operatively connected to each other; the sun gear of the second planetary gear set and the planet carrier of the third planetary gear set are operatively connected to each other; the planet carrier of the third planetary gear set and the ring gear of the fourth planetary gear set are operatively connected to each other; and the planet carrier of the fourth planetary gear set and the output shaft are operatively connected to each other.

Claim (Index 11):
A control unit configured to control a transmission arrangement, transmission arrangement comprising a first, a second, a third, and a fourth planetary gear set comprising a sun gear, a planet carrier and a ring gear, respectively, wherein the transmission arrangement further comprises a transmission housing, an input shaft and an output shaft, wherein:\n the sun gear of the first planetary gear set being operatively connected to the input shaft; the ring gear of the first planetary gear set being operatively connected to the ring gear of the second planetary gear set; the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set being operatively connected to the sun gear of the third planetary gear set; the sun gear of the second planetary gear set being operatively connected to the planet carrier of the third planetary gear set; the planet carrier of the third planetary gear set being operatively connected to the ring gear of the fourth planetary gear set; the planet carrier of the fourth planetary gear set being operatively connected to the output shaft; wherein the transmission arrangement further comprises: a first connecting mechanism ( 120 ) for selectively connecting the input shaft to the sun gear of the fourth planetary gear set; a second connecting mechanism for selectively connecting the planet carrier of the fourth planetary gear set to the sun gear of the third planetary gear set and to the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set; a third connecting mechanism for selectively connecting the sun gear of the fourth planetary gear set to the ring gear of the first planetary gear set and to the ring gear of the second planetary gear set; a fourth connecting mechanism for selectively connecting the planet carrier of the second planetary gear set to the planet carrier of the first planetary gear set; a first locking mechanism for selectively locking the planet carrier of the third planetary gear set and the ring gear of the fourth planetary gear set to the transmission housing; a second locking mechanism for selectively locking the ring gear of the third planetary gear set to the transmission housing; and a third locking mechanism selectively locking the planet carrier of the first planetary gear set to the transmission housing; wherein for at least one of the gears of the transmission arrangement, the control unit ( 600 ) is configured to: position three of the locking and connecting mechanisms in an engaged state; and position four of the locking and connecting mechanisms in a disengaged state.
