Abstract:
A vehicle transmission includes a transmission input and output along with a main shaft and a countershaft that create a plurality of transmission ratios for providing different gears when combined. The vehicle transmission also includes a range change transmission. The vehicle transmission also has, in the direction of the propulsion power flow from the transmission input to the transmission output, a performance interface downstream of the countershaft and upstream of the range change transmission for connecting an electric motor.
Abstract:
A system and method involves a machine having a power train including a continuously variable transmission (CVT) associated with a plurality of virtual gear ratios. To shift between the plurality of virtual gear ratios, the machine may include an operator input device that may be movable between a plurality of distinct positions. A first position may be associated with a neutral position in which no shifting of virtual gear ratios occurs. A second position of the operator input device may be associated with a first incremental rate for shifting between the virtual gear ratios. A third position may be associated with a second incremental rate for shifting between the virtual gear ratios which is different than the first incremental rate.
Abstract:
A control for enhanced manual shifting in a computer-assisted (48) vehicular splitter-type compound transmission (16) having a synchronized main section (16A) shifted by a manually operated shift lever (31) and a controller (42). The splitter section (16B) is located behind the main section and is provided with a three-position (L, H, N) actuator (46) and is commanded to a splitter-neutral position upon sensing an intent for a main section shift to neutral and remains in splitter neutral until the main section is reengaged to reduce the forces required to synchronize the main section.
Abstract:
A semi-automatic shift implementation system (100) for a lever-shifted mechanical transmission (10) includes an intent-to-shift sensor (122), such as an intent-to-shift button (120). Upon sensing an intent to shift, a controller (146) will cause the engine to be fueled to minimize torque-lock conditions at jaw clutches to be disengaged.
