A power split transmission has a drive shaft with a first mechanical branch comprising a planetary gear arrangement with at least two sun gears, a first ring gear and a planetary web, on which double planetary gears are arranged, which mesh with the sun gears and with the first ring gear, at least one of the sun gears being coupled to the drive shaft, with a continuously adjustable second branch, which can be connected at least partially to the first, mechanical branch via the planetary gear arrangement and comprises at least two adjustable hydraulic units which can be energetically coupled to one another and can be operated in each case in both directions as a motor or pump, and with an output shaft which can be coupled to the drive shaft via the first, mechanical branch and the second branch, the planetary gear arrangement being assigned a planetary reversing gear by means of which the direction of rotation of the first, mechanical branch can be reversed.

Power split transmission, method of operating a power split transmission and motor vehicle with a power split transmission

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a drivetrain. In one example embodiment, a motor vehicle drivetrain is disclosed including a transmission arrangement for a motor vehicle with a primary engine. The transmission arrangement including a transmission input shaft which can be connected to the primary engine, and at least one transmission output shaft. The at least one transmission output shaft including a first summation planetary gear unit having primary and secondary first transmission input elements, and a first transmission output element, and a second summation planetary gear unit having primary and secondary second transmission input elements and a second transmission output element. The first transmission output element is connectable to the transmission output shaft via at least one first clutch and the second transmission output element is connectable to the transmission output shaft via at least one second clutch.

Drivetrain for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a power split gearbox for a motor vehicle. The power split gearbox comprises a drive shaft which can be connected to an internal combustion engine in order to feed in torque, a first mechanical branch with a planetary gear mechanism arrangement, an infinitely variable second branch which can be connected to the first branch and comprises two adjustable energy converters which can be coupled to one another in energy terms and can be operated in each case in both directions, and at least one output shaft which can be coupled to the drive shaft via the first and the second branch. At least one first reversing stage is provided between the drive shaft and the output shaft for changing between at least one first forward driving range and at least one first reverse driving range, wherein the reversing stage either reverses or keeps constant all of the rotational directions of the sun gears, the internal gear and the spider shaft during changing between the first forward driving range and the first reverse driving range.

Power split gearbox for a motor vehicle

A continuously variable hydrostatic transmission () having torque division for a vehicle comprises a first hydrostatic unit (H) operating as a pump and a second hydrostatic unit (H) operating as a motor, and further a planetary drive (), a first shaft (W) on the drive side and a summing means (W). The power present at the first shaft (W) is divided by way of the planetary drive () to a mechanical transmission branch (Z, W, Z, Z) and a hydraulic transmission branch (Z, W, Z, Z, Z, H, H) formed by the two hydraulically coupled hydrostatic units (H, H) and is combined again at the summing means (W). In such a transmission, a compact and simplified design and great flexibility in application are achieved in that the power transmission between the first shaft (W) and summing means (W) can be controlled exclusively by varying the displacements of the hydrostatic units (H, H).

Continuously variable hydrostatic transmission having torque division

A hydrostatically power-splitting transmission (), particularly for agricultural and construction equipment, comprises at least two hydrostats (H), which are hydraulically connected to each other and operate as pumps or as motors, wherein at least one of the hydrostats (H) can be adjusted or pivoted by means of a controller (; SK, . . . SK), mechanical coupling means (K, K; Z, . . . , Z), which couple the hydrostats (H, H) to an inner drive shaft (W) and an inner driven shaft (W), a housing () comprising a cover () and a housing bottom part (), wherein the hydrostats (H, H), the inner drive and driven shafts (W, W), and the mechanical coupling means (Z, Z) are disposed and attached on the bottom of the cover (), and in the lower housing part an outer drive shaft accessible from the outside and a driven shaft are supported, which are operatively connected to the inner drive shaft or driven shaft when the housing is assembled. In such a transmission, a compact design, while simultaneously providing easy accessibility and high flexibility in the adaptation to different vehicles, is achieved in that the controller (; SK, . . . SK) for adjustment or pivoting of the at least one hydrostat (H) is disposed on the top of the cover () and acts upon the at least one hydrostat (H) through the cover ().

Hydrostatically power-splitting transmission

A power-branched transmission, particularly for agricultural vehicles such as tractors or similar, includes a stepped planetary gear which is disposed between an input shaft and an output shaft and is used for dividing the power supplied at the input shaft onto a mechanical power branch and a hydraulic power branch. The hydraulic power branch is formed by two hydraulically interconnected, identical hydrostatic axial piston engines which can be selectively operated as a pump or an engine, can be swiveled within a predefined pivoting angle, and can be connected to the input shaft or the stepped planetary gear in a different manner via two respective clutches so as to cover different operating ranges or running steps. In order to obtain better efficiency in such a power-branched transmission, the two hydrostatic axial piston engines are configured as wide-angle hydrostats that are provided with a minimum pivoting angle range of 45&#xb0;.

Power-branched transmission and method for the operation of such a transmission

The invention relates to a hydrostatic axial piston machine having a cylinder block which can be rotated about a first axis, the cylinder block being provided with a plurality of cylinder bores which extend in the axial direction and which are arranged on a partial circle which is concentric in relation to the first axis, in addition to a plane which can be rotated about a second axis, whereon a number of pistons associated with the bores, can be articulated in a pivotable manner on a second partial circle which is concentric in relation to the second axis and form a ring. Also provided is a device for synchronizing the rotation of the cylinder block about the first axis and the drive shaft about the second axis. The cylinder block and the drive shaft can be adjusted in a continuous manner using both axes, between a first position, wherein both axes are parallel, and a second position, wherein both axes together form a maximum pivoting angle which is different from zero.
