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. All planetary trains have negative inner gear ratio output link of torque converter is coupled with sun gear 8 of second planetary trains and is connected through friction clutch 17 with carrier 6 of first planetary train. Carrier 6 is coupled with sun gear 14 of fourth planetary train and, through friction brake 21, with case 1. Sun gear 5 of first planetary train is coupled with case 1 through friction brake 20. Ring gear 10 of second planetary train is connected through friction brake 19 with case 1 and through friction clutch 18, with carrier 12 of third planetary train. Carrier of 9 of second planetary train is coupled with sun gear 11 of third planetary train. Ring gear 13 of third planetary train is coupled with carrier 15 of fourth planetary train which is coupled with case through friction brake 22. Ring gear 7 of first planetary train is connected with ring gear 16 of fourth planetary train and with carrier 12 of third planetary train which is coupled link of transmission.

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