Abstract:
An input-side drive arrangement for a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission includes an input shaft that is rigidly connected to an axially fixed disk, and an axially movable disk that can be shifted axially on the shaft and is rotationally fixed to the shaft. A torque-sensing device has a first shaped surface that is rigidly connected to the shaft and a second shaped surface that is rigidly connected to a sensing piston that surrounds the shaft and is rotatable and axially movable relative to the shaft. The sensing piston engages a rotationally drivable input wheel and can be subjected to hydraulic pressure from the side facing the movable disk. The rotationally fixed and axially movable engagement between the sensing piston and the input wheel is such that the engagement is disconnected when there is torque acting from the movable disk and the sensing piston is not under hydraulic pressure.
Abstract:
Conical disk pairs of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission include an axially fixed disk and an axially movable disk that are situated on respective shafts on the input side and the output side and are connectable by an endless torque-transmitting component for transmitting torque. At least one of the shafts has at least one axial bore from which at least one connecting bore extends to the surface of the shaft. The outlet of the connecting bore is in a region that is covered by the movable disk independent of the latter's axial position. An annular chamber formed between the shaft outer surface and a radially inner surface of the axially movable disk can be subjected to hydraulic pressure through the connecting bore. A discharge groove is provided for bleeding air bubbles from the annular chamber.
Abstract:
A branched power transmission having several transmission ratio ranges with a steplessly adjustable transmission ratio. A drive shaft is connected to both shafts of a variable speed unit through a distributor transmission, which shafts in turn are connected with the input shafts of a parallel gearbox through respective clutches. Two transmission ratio ranges differ from each other through the transmission ratio of an input shaft of the parallel gearbox and its output shaft. Additionally, the power-producing transmission can include an electrical machine. A further embodiment includes a variable speed unit, a first planetary transmission connected with a drive shaft, the input shaft of the variable speed unit and a connecting shaft, and a second planetary transmission that is connected with the connecting shaft of the output shaft of the variable speed unit and an output shaft, and an electrical machine that is non-rotatably connected with the connecting shaft.
Abstract:
A conical disk pair for a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission includes an input shaft that is rigidly connected to an axially fixed disk. An axially movable disk is rotatably carried on the shaft so that it is axially movable and rotationally fixed to the shaft. A torque sensor including shaped surfaces between which rolling elements are positioned and that axially shift a sensing piston when there is a change in the effective torque acting between the sensing piston and the shaft. The sensing piston has axially directed, circumferentially-spaced arms that extend from a side facing away from the axially movable disk and that include axial teeth that mesh with axial teeth of an input wheel rotatably carried on the shaft. A support ring is in contact with inner surfaces of the arms to maintain the teeth of the arms in engagement with the teeth of the input wheel.

Abstract:
A power-split transmission having several ranges of transmission ratios with continuously variable speed reductions. A drive shaft is connected to two shafts of a variable speed drive unit via a distributor gear whose shafts are in turn connected with the input shafts of a parallel gearbox via respective clutches. Two ranges of ratios only differ from each other through the reduction of the input shaft of the parallel gearbox and their output shafts. An additional embodiment includes a variable speed drive unit, a first planetary drive that is connected with a drive shaft, an input shaft of the variable speed drive unit and a connecting shaft, as well as a second planetary drive that is connected with the connecting shaft of the output shaft of the variable speed drive unit, and an output shaft and an electric motor that is nonrotatably connected with the connecting shaft.
Abstract:
A decoupling device for the bearing arrangement of a shaft carried in a housing, in particular a shaft of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission with a chain that functions as the belt. The decoupling device includes an outer bearing ring configured with a circularly cylindrical outer surface and within which the shaft is mounted, and an inner surface of a housing that encloses the bearing ring outer surface. At least one radial ondular washer is arranged between the bearing ring outer surface and the housing inner surface, which allows a limited relative radial movement between the housing inner surface and the bearing ring outer surface by elastic deformation of the washer.

A conical disk pair of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission includes an axially fixed disk and an axially movable disk, which each are positioned on respective shafts on the input side and the take-off side of the transmission. The disk pairs are connectable by an endless torque-transmitting member for transmitting torque. At least one of the shafts has at least one axial bore extending in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, from which at least one connecting bore extends to the outer surface of the shaft. The outlet of the connecting bore is situated at the shaft outer surface in a region that the movable disk overlies. An annulus is formed between the shaft outer surface and a radially inner surface of the movable disk, which annulus can be subjected to hydraulic pressure through the connecting bore, includes a discharge device for bleeding air bubbles from the annulus.
