Drive System and Method for Changing Driving Ranges of the Drive System

摘要

A drive system includes a first power branch and a second power branch. The first power branch includes a continuously variable transmission unit. The first power branch and the second power branch are connected by means of a summation gear. The summation gear includes a first, a second, and a third gear element. An output shaft of the continuously variable transmission unit is rotationally fixed to the first gear element. The second drive element can be connected to the output shaft of the first power branch. The third gear element is rotationally fixed to a mechanical transmission branch of the second power branch.
