摘要： A two speed transmission system particularly for marine use includes a first clutch for connecting an input shaft to a co-axial output shaft, a lay shaft typically parallel to the input and output shafts, a first gear train for connecting the input shaft to the lay shaft for driving the same via the input shaft, and a second gear train connecting the lay shaft to the output shaft. The first clutch connects the input shaft to the output shaft; and a second clutch connects the input shaft to the output shaft via the lay shaft giving a gear ratio other than one to one. The gear trains are selected to provide a higher gearing i.e. faster spinning of the lay shaft when the second clutch is engaged. A control system receives inputs from various sensors including clutch pressure sensors, sensors measuring the speed of the input shaft and output shafts respectively and sensors providing information relating to the position of gears in the gear trains and controls the first and second clutches. Control valves and electro-hydraulic solenoids may be used to provide controlled clutch slip for docking and other functions where very low speeds of the order of a few knots may be desired. The control system may also be used to control the solenoid to allow slipping of the clutch when initiating movement of the watercraft to avoid the problem of “clunking” as the boat is put into, or taken out of, gear.

摘要： A two speed transmission including an input shaft; a lay shaft spaced from the input shaft; a first gear train connecting the input shaft to the lay shaft; a second gear train connecting the lay shaft to an output shaft, the gear train including a one way clutch or similar; and a clutch for engaging the input shaft with the output shaft. When the clutch is disengaged, power is transmitted from the input shaft via the gear trains and the lay shaft via the one way clutch to the output shaft which typically provides first or low gear for use in low speed maneuvering or where greater torque is required. With the clutch engaged, power may be transmitted from the input shaft directly to the output shaft to provide a second gear for when the watercraft is cruising.

摘要： A two speed transmission includes an input shaft; a lay shaft spaced from the input shaft; a first gear train connecting the input shaft to the lay shaft; a second gear train connecting the lay shaft to an output shaft the gear train including a one way clutch or similar; and a clutch for engaging the input shaft with the output shaft. The transmission is arranged such that when the output shaft is disengaged from the input shaft power is transmitted to the output shaft via the first and second gear trains and the lay shaft. When the clutch is disengaged, power is transmitted from the input shaft via the gear trains and the lay shaft via the one way clutch to the output shaft which typically provides first or low gear for use in low speed maneuvering or where greater torque is required. With the clutch engaged, power may be transmitted from the input shaft directly to the output shaft to provide a second gear for when the watercraft is cruising. This transmission system has the advantage of being extremely compact and since, it requires only a single clutch, provides reduced drag compared with transmission systems incorporating more than one clutch. Advantageously, the default for the transmission has the one way clutch or similar in the first or lower gear, with the clutch normally on, so that if the system fails, it is always possible for the boat owner to get the boat home albeit at a slower speed.
