HYDROMECHANICAL TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in automatic transmissions controlled by electronic unit and hydraulic devices. Proposed hydromechanical transmission contains hydrodynamic torque converter 2 and planetary reduction gear consisting of four planetary trains. Output link of torque converter is coupled with sun gear 8 of second planetary train, is connected through friction clutch 18 with carrier 12 of third planetary train and through friction clutch 17, with gear 11 of this train which is connected with case 1 through friction brake 22. Sun gear 5 of first planetary train is connected with case 1 through friction brake 19. Ring gear 10 of second planetary train is coupled with carrier 6 of first planetary train and through friction brake 20, with case 1. Ring gear 7 of first planetary train is coupled with carrier 9 of second planetary train and with rings gears 13 and 16 of third and fourth planetary gear trains. Sun gear 14 of fourth planetary train is coupled with carrier 12 of third planetary train and, through friction brake 21, with case 1. Carrier 15 of fourth planetary gear train is output link of transmission.

EFFECT: enlarged mechanical capabilities of transmission owing to provision of ten forward speeds and one reverse speed at preservation of overall dimensions.
