CONNECTION DEVICE FOR TRANSMISSION OF VEHICLE, MAINLY WITH COMBINED POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F16D27/00 F16D13/24 B60K17/348 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: connection device includes inlet and outlet shafts, a multidisc friction coupling with an electromagnetic drive and a three-link planetary gear, the links of which are interconnected with shafts of the device and cages of the coupling of drive and driven discs with formation of two torque moment flows that are different as to the value. Both flows are added on a crown gear of the planetary gear beyond the coupling limits. When actuated, the coupling is in a branch of lower torque moment.

EFFECT: reduction of energy consumption; increase of coupling service life and reduction of material costs.
