摘要:
An articulated vehicle with a working device has a first frame having a prime mover mounted thereon and supporting a first transaxle apparatus. The first transaxle apparatus includes an input shaft receiving power from the prime mover, a pair of first axles, and a hydrostatic transmission. The hydrostatic transmission comprises a variable hydraulic pump, a first hydraulic motor fluidly connected to the hydraulic pump via a fluid passage, and a housing with a port fluidly connected to the fluid passage. The second transaxle apparatus includes a pair of second axles having different lengths and a second hydraulic motor. The second hydraulic motor is fluidly connected to the port. Proximal ends of the first and second frames with respect to the vehicle are coupled to each other so that the first and second frames are rotatable around a vertical axis relative to each other when steered.

An integrated hydraulic transaxle (IHT) comprises a hydrostatic transmission (HST), an axle driven by the HST, and a housing incorporating the HST and the axle. The HST includes a variable displacement hydraulic pump driven by a prime mover, and a hydraulic motor fluidly connected to the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump has a trunnion type movable swash plate. The internal displacement of the hydraulic motor is larger than the internal displacement of the hydraulic pump so as to increase the hydraulic deceleration activity of the HST. In the IHT, a mechanical deceleration drive train is interposed between the hydraulic motor and the axle. The mechanical deceleration activity of the mechanical deceleration drive train is reduced so far as the increase of the hydraulic deceleration activity of the HST.
摘要:
An axle driving system which houses in a housing thereof a hydrostatic transmission, axles, and a driving gear train for connecting output means of the hydraulic transmission and axles, so as to transmit power from a driving source to the hydrostatic transmission and to change the speed, thereby driving the axles. A first chamber therein contains the hydrostatic transmission and a second chamber therein contains the driving gear train. Both the first and second chambers are independent of each other so as to prevent a foreign object, such as iron powder produced in the driving gear train, from entering the hydrostatic transmission. The system includes an L-like-shaped center section on which the hydrostatic transmission is offset such that an imaginary plane which includes a motor mounting surface passes in proximity to the axis of a pump shaft. The pump shaft is disposed perpendicular to the axles. The motor shaft is disposed in parallel thereto. A hydraulic pump is positioned between the hydraulic motor and the axles, so that the housing for the hydrostatic transmission, axles and driving gear train, is smaller in width to thereby make the system more compact.

An axle driving unit having a housing including at least two housing parts joined to each other through a joint surface, at least one of the housing parts including a recess formed in a wall thereof. The axle driving unit further includes a pair of hydraulic devices mounted perpendicular to each other on corresponding mounting surfaces of a center section. The center section further includes a portion extending outwardly parallel to the joint surface, the portion being fitted into the recess of the housing part.
摘要:
A hydrostatic transmission, comprising a housing, an interior space of the housing serving as a fluid sump; a center section disposed in the housing so as to be submerged In the fluid sump; a hydraulic pump mounted on the center section in the housing: a hydraulic motor mounted on the center section in the housing, and a pair of first and second fluid passages formed within the center section so as to fluidly connect the hydraulic pump with the hydraulic motor. The second fluid passage has an upwardly slant opening toward the fluid sump. A draining device including a relief valve is provided in the opening of the second fluid passage. When hydraulic pressure in the second fluid passage is not more than a predetermined value but not less than that in the first fluid passage, the relief valve is opened so as to drain fluid from the second fluid passage to the fluid sump, thereby keeping the hydrostatic transmission in neutral. When hydraulic pressure in the second fluid passage is more than the predetermined value or less than that in the first fluid passage, the relief valve is closed so as to shut out fluid in the second fluid passage from the fluid sump. The draining device comprises a ball check valve which closes the relief valve by its dead weight when the hydraulic pressure in the second fluid passage is less than the first fluid passage.

An articulate vehicle has first and second frames, which are coupled to each other at proximal ends thereof with respect to the vehicle through a coupling part so as to be relatively rotatable around a vertical axis according to steering operation. The first and second frames are distributed at front and rear portions of the vehicle. The first frame supports a first transaxle apparatus having first axles, and the second frame supports a second transaxle apparatus having a pair of second axles. A gearbox is disposed near the coupling part and provided with a pair of mutually drivingly connected horizontal shafts which are variable in relative angles thereof around the vertical axis according to steering operation. One of the horizontal shafts is drivingly connected to a power take-off shaft for extracting output power of a speed-changing arrangement in the first transaxle apparatus. The other of the horizontal shafts is drivingly connected to an input shaft of the second transaxle apparatus. The vehicle is provided with a rotor having a rotary axis disposed on the vertical axis so as to output power from a prime mover to a working device.
摘要:
An axle driving unit having a housing (21,22) for supporting a first axle (17) for mounting thereon a first driving wheel (3L), and a longer second axle (18) for mounting thereon a second driving wheel (3R). The axle driving unit is eccentrically mounted on a body frame (1) in proximity to the first driving wheel (3L). A speed change transmission (T) is disposed in an enlarged region of the housing that extends substantially perpendicularly with respect to the axles (17,18). The axle driving unit can thus be easily disposed to the side of a chute (6) of a rear-discharge type lawn tractor.

A hydrostatic transmission including a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor fluidly connected with each other, being immersed in an oil sump formed in a housing. A pair of oil passages for fluidly connecting the hydraulic pump with the hydraulic motor are formed in a center section on which the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor are mounted. The center section is provided on an outer surface thereof with a pair of openings of the respective oil passages. A control arm is disposed in the housing so as to interlock with a pump capacity changing member like a movable swash plate, thereby enabling the pump capacity changing member to be moved to various actuation positions including a neutral position in association with rotation of the control arm rotated to various actuation positions including a neutral position. A contact member having a surface abutting against the pair of openings of the center section is formed integrally with the control arm. A pair of oil passages are provided in the contact member. The pair of oil passages in the contact member are shut from the oil sump and open on the surface of the contact member. The pair of oil passages in the contact member communicate with the respective openings of the center section when the control arm is located in a certain range including the neutral position. An orifice is provided in the contact member so as to connect the pair of oil passages in the contact member with each other.
