US Patent 11351853 Hybrid powertrain and vehicle therewith

A hybrid powertrain includes an internal combustion engine, an electrical machine, a transmission, an output, a first separating clutch, and a generator. The internal combustion engine includes a drive shaft for transmitting a drive shaft torque and the electrical machine includes a rotor shaft for transmitting a rotor shaft torque. The transmission is for transmitting the drive shaft torque and the rotor shaft torque, the output is for receiving the drive shaft torque or the rotor shaft torque, and the first separating clutch is for connecting and disconnecting the drive shaft and the output. The generator is arranged in a first torque flow between the drive shaft and the transmission, and includes a generator shaft for converting the drive shaft torque or the rotor shaft torque into electrical energy.
