Abstract:
A hydraulic circuit for the control of a double clutch transmission which has two transmission groups, each with an isolating clutch and with a plurality of shift clutches for the engagement and disengagement of gear steps, the hydraulic circuit having for each transmission group a specific hydraulic branch connected to a pump in each case via a safety valve, and each hydraulic branch having in each case a clutch control valve for controlling the assigned isolating clutch and at least one shift control valve for controlling the assigned shift clutches. Here, the safety valves are designed in each case as proportional pressure regulating valves.
Abstract:
A method for controlling operational sequencing of gears in an automatic transmission (102) which has been built in an auxiliary mode. In the case of such a shifting transmission it is possible that during the engagement of its transmission gear stage, impact noises or contact noises are present in the shifting procedure. This can occur by the generation of a tooth-on-tooth positioning between the toothing of a sliding collar (126) and the come-along toothing of an idler gear (130, 132). Provision is made for the control of the activation movement of the sliding collar (126) carried out in such a manner that an activation condition impact of the transmission parts, which are partakers in the shifting associated transmission part onto other transmission parts with the least possible impact force and/or with a least possible impact noise level.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydraulic control apparatus (1) for an automatic dual clutch transmission, which includes a first clutch (9) with a first partial transmission and a second clutch (13) with a second partial transmission, as well as a shifting system (12) for engaging/releasing gears of the two partial transmissions. The control apparatus (1) is distinguished by the fact that a first switching valve (7) in a position AI connects a first pressure regulator (3) to the first clutch (9) and disconnects it from the shifting system (12) and in a position BI connects the first pressure regulator (3) to the shifting system (12) and disconnects it from the first clutch (9), and that a second switching valve (8) in a position AII connects a second pressure regulator (4) to the second clutch (13) and disconnects it from the shifting system (12) and in a position BII connects the second pressure regulator (4) to the shifting system (12) and disconnects it from the second clutch (13). The invention also relates to a method for controlling the dual clutch transmission using the control apparatus (1).
Abstract:
A hydraulic circuit, particularly for an automated twin clutch transmission for motor vehicles, comprises a countershaft transmission with two parallel power transmission branches, and two clutches, comprising: a high pressure circuit having at least one actuator for the countershaft transmission and/or the clutches, a low pressure circuit for lubrication and/or cooling of elements of the twin clutch transmission, and a first adjustment pump for providing a variable high pressure for the high pressure circuit. The low pressure circuit comprises a plurality of second pumps which are connected in parallel to the first adjustment pump.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a change-under-load transmission having an input shaft (1) and an output shaft (6), each carrying a pair of gearwheels (2, 3; 4, 5). A composite layshaft comprises two pairs of coaxial shafts (7, 8; 9, 10) which are aligned axially with one another. At their adjacent ends the shafts carry friction coupling elements (25, 31 and 25, 30) which have effective coupling faces (25', 31'; 26' 30'). At their remote ends each of the coaxial shafts carries a gearwheel (23, 27; 24, 28) which is in permanent mesh with an associated one of the gear wheels on the respective input or output shaft. Between the adjacent ends of the two pairs of coaxial shafts a central friction coupling element (32) is positioned so as to be freely slidable axially with respect to the coaxial shafts. Correspondingly positioned ones (7, 9 in FIG. 1; 8, 10 in FIG. 2) of the two pairs of shafts are supported so as to be axially inwardly slidable independently of one another out of a rest position into which they are biassed by springs (21, 22 in FIG. 1; 45, 46 in FIG. 2), and the other shaft (8, 10 in FIG. 1; 7, 9 in FIG. 2) are axially immovable. In the rest position of the shafts the effective coupling faces (30' 31' in FIG. 1, 47' 48' in FIG. 2) of the coupling elements on the slidable shafts are nearer the central coupling disc than the coupling faces (25' 26' in FIG. 1 and 49', 50' in FIG. 2) of the coupling elements on the axially immovable shafts.
Abstract:
A drive transmission for powered vehicles and the like has change speed gears which may be shifted to provide a selected one of a plurality of drive speed ratios by means of a fluid-operated control system. The control system includes a plurality of fluid energized actuating means for operating shift fork transmission elements, one of which includes neutralizing means for automatically and positively disengaging the vehicle drive line in the event of system malfunction and for disengaging the vehicle drive line when neutral is selected. Another of the actuating means includes a safety actuator for preventing simultaneous engagement of reverse and forward gears of the transmission.
