U ne telle transmission permet notamment, en actionnant sélectivement les premier et deuxième embrayages et les prem ier, deuxième, et troisième freins, d'établir au plus q uatre rapports d ifférents de transmission en marche avant et u n rapport de transmission en ma rche arrièreSuch transmission allows in particular, by selectively actuating the first and second clutches and the first, second, and third brakes, to establish at most four different transmission ratios in forward gear and a transmission ratio in reverse gear

Dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le frein 30 commandé est un frein à disque à commande hydraulique et les freins 32 et 34 commandés sont des freins à bande à commande hydraulique qui sont commandés par des distributeurs hydrauliques de freinage (non représentes) pilotés en ouverture par l'unité centrale de contrôle de la transmission, mais cette disposition n'est pas limitative de l'invention, et il pourrait s'agir de freins électromagnétiques à poudre, ou encore de freins électromécaniques qui seraient alors commandés par des relais pilotés par ladite unité centrale de contrôle D'une façon générale, au moins un élément des trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16 est hé en rotation au pont 18, au moins un élément des trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16 est é en rotation a un autre élément des trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16 au moins un élément des trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16 est susceptible d'être hé sélectivement en rotation à l'arbre 22 d'une turbine du convertisseur, et au moins un élément des trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16 est susceptible d'être hé sélectivement au carter 19 de la transmission 10, pour établir différents rapports de transmissionIn the preferred embodiment of the invention, the controlled brake 30 is a hydraulically controlled disc brake and the brakes 32 and 34 controlled are hydraulically controlled band brakes which are controlled by hydraulic brake distributors (not shown ) controlled in opening by the central transmission control unit, but this arrangement is not limitative of the invention, and it could be electromagnetic powder brakes, or electromechanical brakes which would then be controlled by relays controlled by said central control unit In general, at least one element of the planetary trains 14 and 16 is rotated to the bridge 18, at least one element of the planetary trains 14 and 16 is rotated to another element of the planetary trains 14 and 16 at least an element of the planetary gear trains 14 and 16 is capable of being selectively rotated at the shaft 22 of a turbine of the converter, and at least one element of the planetary gear trains 14 and 16 is capable of being selectively connected to the casing 19 transmission 10, to establish different transmission ratios
En particulier, dans la disposition particulière, mais non limitative de l'invention, qui est représentée aux figures 1 et 2 un planétaire 36 du tram épicycloidal amont 14 est susceptible d'être hé en rotation à l'arbre 22 de turbine par l'intermédiaire du premier embrayage 26 commandé ou bien est susceptible d'être é au carter 19 de la transmission 10 par l'intermédiaire du premier frein 30 commandé, un porte-satellites 38 du train épicycloidal amont 14 est susceptible d'être lié en rotation à l'arbre 22 de turbine du convertisseur par l'intermédiaire du second embrayage 28 commandé, ou bien est susceptible d'être lié au carter 19 de la transmission 10 par l'intermédiaire du deuxième frein commandé 32, et un planétaire 42 du tram épicycloïdal aval 16 est susceptible d'être lié au carter 19 de la transmission par l'intermédiaire du troisième frein 34 commandéIn particular, in the particular, but not limiting, arrangement of the invention, which is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a sun gear 36 of the upstream epicyclic tram 14 is capable of being rotated to the shaft 22 of the turbine by the intermediate of the first clutch 26 controlled or is capable of being connected to the casing 19 of the transmission 10 by means of the first brake 30 controlled, a planet carrier 38 of the upstream planetary gear 14 is capable of being linked in rotation to the converter turbine shaft 22 via the second controlled clutch 28, or is capable of being linked to the casing 19 of the transmission 10 via the second controlled brake 32, and a planetary gear 42 of the epicyclic tram downstream 16 is likely to be linked to the casing 19 of the transmission via the third brake 34 controlled
Avantageusement, le premier embrayage commandé 26 et le second embrayage commandé 28 sont agencés à l'opposé de la turbine 12 du convertisseur par rapport aux deux trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16 D'une façon analogue, le premier frein commandé 30 et le troisième frein commandé 34 sont agencés de part et d'autre des deux trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16 et du deuxième frein commande 32 qui est agencé sensiblement autour des deux trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16, le premier frein commande étant agencé à proximité du planétaire 36 du tram epicycloidal amont 14 et le troisième frein commandé 36 étant agencé à proximité du planétaire 42 du tram épicycloidal avalAdvantageously, the first controlled clutch 26 and the second controlled clutch 28 are arranged opposite the turbine 12 of the converter with respect to the two planetary gears 14 and 16. Similarly, the first controlled brake 30 and the third controlled brake 34 are arranged on either side of the two planetary trains 14 and 16 and of the second control brake 32 which is arranged substantially around the two planetary trains 14 and 16, the first control brake being arranged close to the sun gear 36 of the upstream epicycloidal tram 14 and the third controlled brake 36 being arranged close to the sun gear 42 of the downstream epicycloidal tram
Cette disposition permet avantageusement de disposer d'une transmission 10 particulièrement compacte axialementThis arrangement advantageously makes it possible to have a particularly axially compact transmission 10
Par ailleurs, une couronne 40 du tram épicycloidal amontIn addition, a ring 40 of the upstream epicyclic tram
14 est liée en rotation à un porte-satellites 44 du tram épicycloidal aval 16 et une couronne 46 du tram épicycloidal aval 16 est liée en rotation au porte-satellites 38 du tram épicycloidal amont 1414 is linked in rotation to a planet carrier 44 of the downstream epicycloidal tram 16 and a ring 46 of the downstream epicyclic tram 16 is linked in rotation to the planet carrier 38 of the upstream epicyclic tram 14
Dans cette configuration, la puissance motrice qui chemine sélectivement dans les éléments des trams épicycloïdaux amont 14 et aval 16 est transmise au pont 18, et donc aux roues 20, par l'intermédiaire d'un pignon 48 qui est porté par le porte-satellites 44 du tram épicyclo idal aval 16 et qui engrène avec un arbre 50 de descente de pont engrenant In this configuration, the motive power which selectively travels through the elements of the upstream 14 and downstream epicyclic trams is transmitted to the bridge 18, and therefore to the wheels 20, via a pinion 48 which is carried by the planet carrier 44 of the downstream epicyclic idal tram 16 and which meshes with a shaft 50 of the descent of the meshing bridge
A cet effet, l'arbre 50 de descente de pont, qui est monté à rotation dans le carter 19 de la transmission, comporte à une extrémité un pignon amont 52 qui engrène avec le pignon 48 solidaire du porte-satellites 44 du tram épicycloi'dal aval 16, et comporte à son extrémité opposée un pignon aval 54 qui engrène avec un pignon 56 d'attaque du pont 18To this end, the shaft 50 for lowering the bridge, which is rotatably mounted in the casing 19 of the transmission, has at one end an upstream pinion 52 which meshes with the pinion 48 secured to the planet carrier 44 of the epicyclic tram . downstream dal 16, and comprises at its opposite end a downstream pinion 54 which meshes with a pinion 56 for driving the bridge 18
Ainsi, comme l'illustre la figure 3, la transmission 10 permet d'établir un rapport "AR" de transmission de marche arrière en activant seulement le premier embrayage 26 et le deuxième frein 32 un premier rapport "R1" de transmission de marche avant en activant seulement le premier embrayage 26 et le troisième frein 34, un deuxième rapport "R2" de transmission de marche avant en activant seulement le deuxième embrayage 28 et le troisième frein 34, un troisième rapport "R3" de transmission de marche avant en activant seulement le premier embrayage 26 et le second embrayage 28, et un quatrième "R4" rapport de transmission de marche avant en activant seulement le second embrayage 26 et le premier frein 30Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the transmission 10 makes it possible to establish a reverse gear transmission ratio "AR" by activating only the first clutch 26 and the second brake 32 a first forward gear transmission ratio "R1" by activating only the first clutch 26 and the third brake 34, a second ratio "R2" of forward transmission by activating only the second clutch 28 and the third brake 34, a third ratio "R3" of forward transmission by activating only the first clutch 26 and the second clutch 28, and a fourth "R4" gear ratio front by activating only the second clutch 26 and the first brake 30
Conformément à l'invention, le pont 18 est susceptible d'être hé sélectivement en rotation directement à l'arbre 22 de turbine du convertisseur pour obtenir un rapport supplémentaire de transmission correspondant à un cinquième rapport de transmission " de prise directe" de la transmission 10According to the invention, the bridge 18 is capable of being selectively rotated in a direct manner to the turbine shaft 22 of the converter in order to obtain an additional transmission ratio corresponding to a fifth "direct drive" transmission ratio of the transmission. 10
A cet effet, la transmission 10 comporte des moyens destinés à entraîner directement l'arbre 50 de descente de pont à l'aide de l'élément 24 de l'arbre 22 de turbine qui est commun aux deux embrayages 26 et 28To this end, the transmission 10 comprises means intended to directly drive the shaft 50 for lowering the bridge using the element 24 of the shaft 22 of the turbine which is common to the two clutches 26 and 28
Selon le premier mode de réalisation qui est représenté a la figure 1, l'élément 24 de l'arbre 22 de turbine du convertisseur comporte un pignon 58 supplémentaire qui engrène en permanence avec un pignon fixe 60 d'un arbre 62 intermédiaire de descente qui est susceptible d'être accouplé sélectivement à l'arbre 50 de descente de pont par l'intermédiaire d'un embrayage supplémentaire 64 commandéAccording to the first embodiment which is represented in FIG. 1, the element 24 of the converter turbine shaft 22 comprises an additional pinion 58 which permanently meshes with a fixed pinion 60 of an intermediate shaft 62 of descent which is capable of being selectively coupled to the shaft 50 for lowering the axle by means of an additional clutch 64 controlled
Selon le second mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'arbre 50 de descente de pont comporte un pignon supplémentaire 58 qui engrène en permanence avec un pignon fou 60 qui est susceptible d'être craboté sélectivement sur l'arbre 22 de turbine du convertisseur par l'intermédiaire d'un embrayage supplémentaire 64 commandé Dans ce dernier mode de réalisation, l'embrayage supplémentaire 64 commandé est notamment porté par l'élément 24 de l'arbre 22 de turbine et est donc agencé à l'opposé de la turbine 12 du convertisseur par rapport aux deux trains 14, 16 épicycloïdaux De plus, dans les deux modes de réalisation, l'embrayage supplémentaire 64 commandé est un embrayage à disque à commande hydraulique qui est commande par un distributeur hydraulique spécifique De la sorte, l'alimentation hydraulique de la transmission 10 reste inchangée par rapport à l'état antérieur de la technique correspondant a une transmission à quatre rapports de marche avant Ainsi, comme l'illustre la figure 3, la transmission 10 permet d'établir le cinquième rapport "R5" de transmission de marche avant en activant seulement l'embrayage supplémentaire 64 L'un ou l'autre du second embrayage 28 ou du premier frein 30 peut éventuellement rester activé Pour ce rapport de transmission, la puissance motrice chemine directement de l'arbre 22 de turbine au pont 50 sans cheminer par les trains épicycloïdaux 14 et 16According to the second embodiment of the invention, the shaft 50 for lowering the bridge comprises an additional pinion 58 which permanently meshes with a idler pinion 60 which is capable of being selectively clutched on the turbine shaft 22 of the converter by means of an additional clutch 64 controlled In this latter embodiment, the additional clutch 64 controlled is in particular carried by the element 24 of the shaft 22 of the turbine and is therefore arranged opposite the turbine 12 of the converter with respect to the two planetary gear trains 14, 16 In addition, in the two embodiments, the additional clutch 64 controlled is a hydraulically controlled disc clutch which is controlled by a specific hydraulic distributor In this way, the hydraulic supply of the transmission 10 remains unchanged compared to the prior art corresponding to a transmission with four forward gears. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the transmission 10 makes it possible to establish the fifth forward transmission ratio "R5" by activating only the additional clutch 64 Either of the second clutch 28 or the first brake 30 may possibly remain activated For this transmission ratio, the driving power travels directly from the turbine shaft 22 to the bridge 50 without traveling by the planetary gears 14 and 16
La transmission 10 selon l'invention permet donc de bénéficier d'une transmission automatique comportant un cinquième rapport "R5" de prise directe particulièrement avantageux, en terme de consommation de carburant, à haute vitesse, comme c'est le cas lors d'un parcours autoroutier The transmission 10 according to the invention therefore makes it possible to benefit from an automatic transmission comprising a fifth ratio "R5" of direct intake which is particularly advantageous, in terms of fuel consumption, at high speed, as is the case during a motorway route
