摘要:
A power transmission system comprises a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission constituted by integrally and coaxially coupling a pump cylinder of a swashplate type hydraulic pump with a motor cylinder of a swashplate type hydraulic motor. The transmission is rotatably supported at its opposite ends on a bearing. A first transmission device connected to an engine is connected to an input member of the pump from one side of the transmission, and a second transmission device connected to a load member is connected to an output member of the pump on the radially opposite side of the transmission. The first and second transmission devices are disposed adjacent each other near one end of the continuously variable transmission. This permits the points of action of loads on the input and output members from the first and second transmission devices to be placed in close vicinity to each other, thereby reducing the swinging moment and the flexing moment acting on the transmission due to these loads.

A hydraulic motor and a hydraulic pump are interconnected by a closed hydraulic circuit. A lubricating chamber is defined around the sliding surfaces of the swash plate and the plungers of at least one of the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor. A shuttle valve has two input ports connected to respective oil passages, the shuttle valve being shiftable to connect the one of the oil passages which is of lower oil pressure to the output port of the shuttle valve when the differential pressure between the oil passages is relatively large. A first relief valve is opened to communicate the output port to the lubricating chamber when the oil pressure in the output port exceeds a first pressure level. A second relief valve connected between the first relief valve and the lubricating chamber is opened when the oil pressure between the first relief valve and the lubricating chamber exceeds a second pressure level lower than the first pressure level.

An improved closed-loop hydrostatic transmission system is provided of the type including a pump (11), a motor (13), and a pair of conduits (15 and 17). The system includes a main control valve (43) and a charge pump (23) which is the sole source of make-up fluid to the closed-loop system and the sole source of control fluid for varying the pump. The system includes a power limiting means comprising first and second pressure relief valve means (75 and 77) operable to provide fluid communication from whichever side of the closed-loop is at high pressure to the system reservoir whenever system pressure exceeds the predetermined maximum pressure. The motor is adapted to transmit drive torque to a reversible load (37) of the type having a known inertia and a predeterminable time of deceleration from maximum speed operation in one direction to a standstill condition. A flow restriction means (44) in series relationship between the charge pump and a fluid pressure responsive means (31,33) of the pump is selected such that reversal of the main control valve ( 43) from maximum displacement in one direction to maximum displacement in the opposite direction results in destroking of the pump in a time period approximately equal to the time of deceleration of the reversible load, thereby substantially preventing cavitation and high-pressure spikes.

A rotatable hydrostatic transmission is formed by a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor which are coupled coaxially together. The pump and motor both have housing members and shaft members which are independently rotatable relative to a mounting structure. One member of the pump is rigidly coupled to one member of the motor, and the coupled members rotate together as a unit. The other member of the pump is an input and the other member of the motor which is not rigidly coupled is the output member. Reduction gearing is provided between the coupled members and the output member. A fluid flow control means provides an infinitely adjustable control of fluid through the pump and the motor and allows the speed of rotation of the driven output member to be varied in infinitely adjustable fashion. A direct drive can be achieved by disengaging the reduction gearing so that the shafts and housings of both the pump and motor will all turn at the same speed as if they were one single unit. A reverse rotation of the driven output member can be achieved by reversing fluid flow while preventing the rigidly coupled members from rotating.

In many aircraft, there are flight control surfaces positioned by mechanical actuation systems that are driven by hydraulic power drive units. There are also devices for transmitting hydraulic power from one aircraft hydraulic system to another in the event that one of the system's pumps fails. An integration of structure to perform both of these functions in a single unit would result in a reduction in cost and weight as well as increased reliability. The integrated power drive and power transfer system has a pair of variable displacement hydraulic devices each in a separate hydraulic circuit and each having a drive shaft connected into a summing gear train connected to an output shaft. A selectively-operable brake is in the operative connection between the output shaft and the summing gear train and controls either driving of the output shaft with both variable displacement hydraulic devices operating as motors or transfer of power between the hydraulic circuits with one variable displacement hydraulic device operating as a motor and the other as a pump.

A hydraulic transmission operates throughout a continuous range between a neutral condition and a direct drive one to one ratio of input shaft speed to output shaft speed. The input shaft carries a rotor which provides a hydraulic pump for the input side of the transmission. Reciprocating pistons of the input pump move in camming fashion against an input side swash plate as the input shaft rotates. The fluid that is displaced in the input side pump is directed into an output side pump which is carried on the output shaft. Reciprocating pistons of the output pump are hydraulically forced against an output side swash plate to effect rotation of the output shaft. A sleeve and lever assembly controls the stroke length of the pistons of the input pump in order to vary its fluid displacement relative to that of the output pump, thereby varying the transmission ratio. Each swash plate presents a pair of flat camming surfaces which are angled relative to one another in order to maintain a balanced torque condition with respect to the transmission axis. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the swash plates are carried on the respective shafts and the pumps are interlocked with one another for rotation in unison.
