A gear unit comprising a planet gear rotatable about a sun gear and supported by a planet carrier, said planet carrier comprising an annular formation for flow of lubricant and which is substantially concentric with the major axis about which the planet carrier is rotatable, and the gear unit comprising a housing having at least one lubricant supply position provided at a position radially aligned with said annular formation of the planet carrier as considered relative to said major axis about which the planet carrier rotates, and the planet carrier comprising flow paths for flow of lubricant from said annular formation to a planet gear bearing. The invention also discloses a method of lubricating a gear unit.

A regulatable continuously variable transmission in which one multiple-jet nozzle (4) is used for supplying cooling and lubricant oil to the variator. The flow diameter (9, 10) of the nozzle (4) is created so that a stationary flow exists in the nozzle (4) and the continuity equation results in a constant value.

A device for lubricating a step-up/down mechanical assembly with a lubricating fluid has a collection reservoir, a circuit for distributing lubricating fluid, and a device for creating relative movement. The collection reservoir collects the lubricating fluid from the step-up/down mechanical assembly and is fixed to a structure of the step-up/down mechanical assembly. The circuit for distributing lubricating fluid has a scoop with a first end that enters the collection reservoir and rotates with respect to the structure. The relative movement device provides a relative movement between the first end of the scoop and the collection reservoir such that the scoop rotates about an axis of rotation relative to the structure. As a result of this movement, the lubricating fluid in the collection reservoir flows through the distribution circuit and is conveyed to an element of the step-up/down assembly that is to be lubricated.

The present invention relates to a device for lubricating a step-up/down mechanical assembly (2), particularly a transmission gearbox, which comprises a reservoir (5A) of lubricating fluid (H) and a distribution circuit (8) capable of supplying lubricating fluid (H) from said reservoir (5A) to at least one element (11) of said assembly (2) that is to be lubricated. According to the invention, the distribution circuit (8) comprises at least one scoop (9), one end (9A) of which enters the reservoir (5A), the lubricating device (1A) comprises means (10A) for creating a relative movement between said end (9A) of the scoop (9) and the reservoir (5A), and said relative movement causes a dynamic effect in the lubricating fluid (H) such that it causes lubricating fluid (H) to enter the scoop (9) and causes it to flow through the distribution circuit (8).

A roller control unit for a CVT includes a cylinder (54) having a piston (70) positioned therein and operably connected to a roller assembly of said CVT thereby to control its position. The unit includes a lubrication supply which comprises a chamber (94) between the cylinder (54) and piston (70) and one or more radially extending passageways (102) through said piston (70). These passageways are in flow communication with the roller and act to direct cooling fluid to said roller. Radial supply of said lubrication facilitates a reduction in flow losses within the supply.

A lubricant distribution system for a vehicle transmission includes an internal fluid pump which draws lubricant from a sump defined in the transmission housing through an intake tube and a first channel formed in an interior wall of the housing. The lubricant is delivered from the pump through a second channel formed in the interior wall to a first port formed in an outer wall of the housing. A third channel is also formed in the interior wall, extending from a second port formed in the outer wall to an internal passageway formed within the interior wall. The ports may be used to circulate lubricant from the transmission to one or more external devices for conditioning the lubricant. Alternatively, a cover plate secured to the housing may provide direct communication between the two ports. A bypass channel may be formed in the interior wall between the second channel and the third channel. A pressure relief valve disposed in the bypass channel prevents fluid flow therethrough unless the pressure of the lubricant in the second channel exceeds a predetermined value. The various channels are all formed having generally U-shaped cross sections and are closed by a cover plate to define respective fluid passageways. The lubricant passes from the internal passageway to a lubricant discharge tube supported in a bore formed through the interior wall. The lubricant discharge tube includes one or more resilient outwardly extending tabs which provide a bayonet type mounting thereof in the bore. The lubricant discharge tube includes first and second legs having respective pluralities of apertures formed therein. Lubricant sprayed from the apertures falls from the meshing gears and bearings under the influence of gravity and is collected in the sump.
摘要:
The present invention provides for automatic relief of excess pressure within an engine lubrication system in such a way as to recover a significant portion of the energy that was used to create the excess oil pressure. A pressure regulator creates a directed flow of oil in order to relieve pressure within the lubrication system. This directed flow of oil is caused to impact an impulse/momentum wheel, thereby imparting momentum from the oil to the wheel, creating a torque therein. The impulse/momentum wheel is advantageously coupled to the engine gear train, thereby reducing the engine power required to run the gear train by recovering energy from the lubrication system.

An improved lubrication system for a vehicular mechanical transmission (10) is provided. The transmission gearing (22-34) rotates in a dry sump (11) in the housing (12) and a reservoir (40) provides a sump of lubricant (42) below the level of the gearing. A pump (44) pumps lubricant from the reservoir through a filter (48) and into a distribution manifold (50) for filtered lubrication of the bearings (20) and/or other transmission elements.

Method for lubricating vehicle gears, characterized in that the lubricating oil is injected directly into the areas to be lubricated by means of a plurality of injection elements (43) and the consumed oil is returned to said injection elements by means of a closed circuit (35, 37, 40, 43, 45, 47, 49), where defoaming and preparation takes place.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a gear type tool for use in the finishing operation of the toothed surface of a work having teeth of gears and the like, wherein said tool comprises a working liquid reservoir defined at a side of the tool body and a working liquid supplying path which communicates with said oil reservoir and the bottom land of the working teeth. A working liquid which has been supplied to said oil reservoir is supplied to said bottom land therefrom via said supplying path under centrifugal forces.
