摘要:
A control system (100) for a hydraulically controlled clutch (18) for coupling a source of rotary power (12) to a load (102) for accelerating the load from a first velocity to a second velocity within a time measured from a beginning of the acceleration and ending between first and second times measured from the beginning of acceleration with the load being variable during acceleration of the load from the first velocity to the second velocity in accordance with the invention includes a source of pressurized hydraulic fluid (38), a servo valve (42), having an inlet coupled to the source of pressurized fluid and an outlet coupled to the hydraulically controlled clutch, the servo valve being responsive to a control signal to vary the pressure of hydraulic fluid applied to the hydraulically controlled clutch to vary the coupling between the source of rotary power and an output shaft (22) which is coupled to the load, a speed sensor (112) for producing a speed signal proportional to the speed of the output shaft; a stored program (108) controlling a programmed acceleration of the load from the first velocity to the second velocity within a time interval measured from the beginning of the acceleration and ending between the first and second times; a controller (110), responsive to the stored program and the speed signal, for producing the control signal which is a function of a difference (E) between the velocity signal and a velocity controlled by the stored program.
摘要:
A temperature compensated control system (100) for a hydraulically controlled clutch (18) for controlling a source of rotary power to a load (101) for accelerating the load from a first velocity to a second velocity within a time interval measured from a beginning of the acceleration and ending between first and second times measured from the beginning of the acceleration with the load being variable during the acceleration of the load from the first velocity to the second velocity is disclosed. Gain compensation is provided as a function of temperature of hydraulic fluid within a servo system (110) controlling the clutch. Furthermore, a controller (39) controls the opening of a valve (35) as a function of the sensed temperature during initiation of starting to cause the flow of lubricating fluid into the gearbox to be delayed during the initiation of starting when a sensed temperature is below a set temperature to minimize viscous drag and to cause lubricating fluid to flow immediately into the gearbox when the sensed temperature is above the set temperature.

An integrated APU is provided having a combined starter/generator device mounted within the gearbox housing so as to reduce the number of reduction gears, bearings and other redundant components sufficiently to eliminate the need for a separate lubrication oil scavenger pump as well. Further integration and savings can be achieved by de-coupling the fuel pump and lubrication pump from the gearbox and driving those pumps instead by an electric motor.
摘要:
An identification module and identification determination circuitry are provided for the purpose of identifying an apparatus and electrically determining the identification number of that identified apparatus. The identification module comprises a plurality of resistive identification circuits which, in turn, each comprise a plurality of resistive elements selected to have resistive magnitudes that relate to each other by powers, or orders, of two. The identification determination circuit of the present invention places each of the resistive identification circuits in series with a resistor of known magnitude between two connection points to provide a voltage potential and a resulting current flowing through the resistive identification circuit. The invention also provides a means by which the input voltage can be determined and used to adjust the determined magnitude of the resistive identification circuit.
