A gear set arrangement () for a bicycle gearbox () includes a planetary assembly, a stationary component (), a first and a second brake (B, B), and a first and a second freewheel clutch (F, F). One planetary gear set () of the planetary assembly includes a first rotary element, a second rotary element, and a third rotary element. The first rotary element is rotationally fixable on the stationary component () by the first brake (B). The first rotary element is connectable to the output () by the first freewheel clutch (F). The second rotary element is rotationally fixable on the stationary component () by the second brake (B). The second rotary element is connectable to the output () by the second freewheel clutch (F). The third rotary element is connected to the input () for conjoint rotation. The gear set arrangement () is configured to provide three ratios.

Gear set assembly and bicycle gearing system

A constructional unit for a hybrid powertrain of a motor vehicle includes: an electric machine with a stator and a rotor, wherein the rotor is configured to transmit a torque to the powertrain; a clutch arrangement with at least one clutch actuation unit, wherein the clutch arrangement is configured to decouple an internal combustion engine from the powertrain, the internal combustion engine being provided parallel to the electric machine for transmitting a torque; and a vibration absorber apparatus configured to reduce vibrations in the powertrain. The clutch actuation unit is arranged axially substantially radially within the vibration absorber apparatus.

A constructional unit for a drivetrain of a motor vehicle includes: at least one clutch arrangement configured to decouple an internal combustion engine from the drivetrain, the at least one clutch arrangement having at least one clutch element; a speed-adaptive vibration absorber apparatus, configured to reduce vibrations in the drivetrain with at least one damper mass deflectable along a deflection path; and a limiting device configured to exert a force on the at least one damper mass that limits the movement of the damper mass. The limiting device is further configured, for limiting the movement of the at least one damper mass, to be actuatable by the at least one clutch element.

The present invention generally relates to the attachment of a centrifugal mass or a modular clutch to the output end of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. For this purpose, axially-oriented gear teeth can be introduced in both parts, e.g. a serration, and there can be a central screw element which can extend into a threaded portion in the crankshaft. The present invention teaches that an axially-oriented spring bias can be applied to both parts to create a reliable connection between the parts of the gear teeth.

According to an illustrative embodiment of the invention, a planetary gear box is combined with an electric generator of a motor-vehicle. The planetary gear box comprises a free wheel and a gear change clutch. Such, the transmission ratio of the planetary gear box is changeable. The components of the gear box are arranged at least partially in axially overlapping relationship so that a small overall axial dimension is obtained.

According to an illustrative example of the present invention, an internal combustion engine is provided with a gear box. This gear box is driven by an end portion of the crank shaft. A belt pulley is provided around the axis of the gearbox. The belt pulley drives through a belt an electric power generator. The gear box contains a planetary gear of variable transmission ratio. The change of transmission ratio is effected by an hydraulically operated clutch. The hydraulically operated clutch is actuated by a hydraulic actuating device. The hydraulic actuating device is actuated by oil pressure. The oil pressure is obtained by a hydraulic pump integrated into the gear box. Further components of the circuitry containing the pump and the hydraulic actuating device are provided outside the gear box. These external components are carried by a carrier plate. This carrier plate contains side by side channels of the hydraulic circuitry. Simultaneously, the carrier plate acts as a torque support for the gear box which is mounted on the end portion of the crank shaft.
