POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT HYDRAULIC-MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F16H47/04 B60K17/10 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: positive-displacement hydraulic-mechanical transmission comprises input shaft (1), output shaft (2), two interconnected reversible controlled hydraulic motors (3) and (4), four-link differential (5), and pumping devices (12), (13), (14), and (15). Satellites (7) and (8) of differential (5) are made in pairs and engage each other. Satellite (8) is wide and interposed between the large solar gear (10) and central wheel (11) with the inner engagement. Satellite (7) is narrow and engages small solar gear (9). Two switching devices (14) and (15) connect the shaft of hydraulic motor (4) with input shaft (1) of the transmission and central wheel (11) with the inner engagement. Two switching devices (12) and (13) connect the shaft of hydraulic motor (3) with output shaft (2) of the transmission and small solar gear (9) of the differential.

EFFECT: reduced mass and sizes and enhanced efficiency.
