20110124456 | TORQUE SPLIT TYPE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - A torque split type automatic transmission which transmits torque output from an engine through two paths, adds the torque passing through and increased in each path, and outputs a final torque, may be provided wherein the torque of the engine is dividedly transmitted to first and second power delivery paths, a launching device for converting the torque and a transmission device for achieving multiple-shift are disposed on the first power delivery path in series, and a torque combining device is disposed on the second power delivery path, and wherein the first power delivery path is connected to the torque combining device such that output torque of the first power delivery path is added to output torque of the second output path to output the final torque. | 05-26-2011 |
20130225351 | POWER SPLIT GEARBOX FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A power split gearbox, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes a mechanical power branch and a hydrostatic power branch. The mechanical power branch and hydrostatic power branch, in a parallel arrangement with respect to one another, are in contact with a common drive shaft. The branched power from the mechanical power branch and hydrostatic power branch are combined in a gear drive arranged on an end side. The mechanical power branch has two planetary gear sets with sun gears, planet gears and internal gears. A clutch is arranged on a side of one of the two planetary gear sets. An internal gear is connected to a sun gear shaft by the clutch. | 08-29-2013 |
20150377321 | Torsional Vibration Damping Arrangement For The Drive Train Of A Vehicle - A torsional vibration damping arrangement for the drivetrain of a vehicle has an input region driven in rotation around an axis of rotation A and an output region. A first torque transmission path and a second torque transmission path parallel thereto proceed from the input region. A coupling arrangement communicates with the output region for superposing the torques guided via the torque transmission paths, and a phase shifter arrangement for the first torque transmission path generates a phase shift of rotational irregularities guided via the first torque transmission path relative to rotational irregularities guided via the second torque transmission path. The output region includes the planet gear carrier at which a planet gear is rotatably supported, and the planet gear carrier is connected to the output region to be fixed with respect to rotation relative to it. | 12-31-2015 |
475036000 | Planetary gearing divides paths | 4 |
20080293533 | Nine or Ten Speed Split Clutch Countershaft Automatic Transmission - A combination countershaft and planetary gear set transmission is provided that achieves at least nine forward speed ratios and two reverse speed ratios. The transmission includes a main shaft operatively driven by a transmission input member as well as first and second countershafts with each countershaft spaced apart from and substantially parallel to the main shaft. The countershafts utilize a split clutch arrangement in which one of the clutches is cantilevered off the countershaft, allowing the size of the countershaft as well as an intermediate support plate to be removed, reducing parts complexity, material and overall length of the transmission. | 11-27-2008 |
20080300081 | Continuously variable automatic transmission for heavy trucks, buses and light automobiles - A continuously variable, automatic transmission for a motor driven vehicle including heavy trucks, buses and light automobiles, wherein the vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and driving wheels. The automatic transmission includes a hydraulic torque converter or other hydraulic device and at least one but preferably a plurality of at least two planetary gear assemblies wherein two corresponding portions thereof are operatively interconnected by a free wheeling connector assembly. As such, torque generated by the engine of the vehicle is variably transmitted from the at least one of the planetary gear assemblies to the driving wheels of the vehicle. | 12-04-2008 |
20120302389 | TRANSMISSION DEVICE HAVING POWER SPLITTING - A transmission device having power splitting. In the first driving range, the mechanical power branch transmits torque from the ring gear to the additional fixed gear by the fixed gear. In this case, power branches from the ring gear. The hydrostatic power branch branches from the second sun gear. The hydrostatic branch transmits power from the first to the second hydraulic unit. The first and second hydraulic units act respectively as a pump and a motor. On one of the hydrostatic shafts, the mechanical and hydrostatic powers are added and transmitted to the output. In the second driving range, power from the planet carrier partially branches to the ring gear and passes to the hydrostatic shaft for the second hydraulic unit. An auxiliary shaft can be coupled by a gear to a fixed gear operatively connected to a shaft of the power splitting device. | 11-29-2012 |
20140309067 | Drive Train - The invention relates to a drive train for transmitting a variable power with variable input speed at a drive shaft and a substantially constant output speed at an output shaft for a power generation installation, driven by a continuous-flow machine such as a wind turbine or a water turbine, comprising
