Description
Double Clutch Transmission
Description
Double clutch transmissions have been the subject of considerable public interest in recent times due to the capability to shift gears without interrupting torque flow. This allows for very smooth shifting operations which are hardly perceptible for the passengers of a motor vehicle.
Generally, conventional double clutch transmissions comprise an input shaft formed of at least two parts, a solid shaft member and a hollow shaft member extending along part of the solid shaft member and being rotatable with respect to the latter, both shaft members carrying a plurality of drive gearwheels that mesh with driven gearwheels on one or more layshafts, and each shaft member has a friction clutch associated to it for selectively enabling or disabling torque transmission from an engine to the shaft member.
In such a conventional double clutch transmission, the two friction clutches are arranged one behind the other in the axial direction of the input shaft, thus contributing significantly to the overall length of the transmission. In another prior art design, clutches are coaxially nested. Since in this design dimensions of the clutches are different, their load-bearing capacities tend to be ditterent, too.
The object of the present invention is to provide a double clutch transmission which is suitable for a particularly compact design.
The object is achieved by a double clutch transmission comprising an input shaft, an output shaft and at least two alternative paths for transmitting torque from the input shaft to the output shaft, each of the alternative paths comprising a friction clutch for selectively enabling or disabling torque flow along said path, in which each path comprises a layshaft and the friction clutch associated to a given path is located on the layshaft of said path. In such a transmission, instead of placing the two clutches one behind the other in the axial direction or nesting them radially, as conventional, they can be placed one beside the other, so that the overall length of the transmission can be reduced. If the diameter of the two clutches is not larger than that of the largest gearwheel on their respective layshaft, the lateral dimensions of a transmission are not increased by placing the friction clutches on the layshafts.
In most practical cases, there will be two or more driven gearwheels on each layshaft, meshing with drive gearwheels of the input shaft. In order for the friction clutch to be able to interrupt torque flow via its associated layshaft, no matter which gearwheels are currently under load, a friction clutch of the given path should be arranged to enable or disable torque flow from the layshaft associated to that path to the output shaft.
To this effect, each friction clutch preferably has a first member flOiL LuLdLbiy inouncea on its associated layshaft, and a sleeve carried by said layshaft has a second member of said friction clutch and an output pinion non-rotatably mounted on it.
The output pinions of the two layshafts preferably mesh with a same gear element on the output shaft. The output shaft can be front or rear drive shaft or a propeller shaft, so that the gearbox of the invention can be used in front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles. The said gear element can be a differential. In an all-wheel drive vehicle, the gear element preferably is a front-rear torque distribution unit. For rear wheel driven applications the output shaft can be arranged coaxially to the crankshaft as well with a given off-set.
In order to facilitate access to the friction clutches for maintenance or repair purposes, it is useful if the friction clutches are located at a side of the transmission, or, more precisely, on each layshaft the output pinion is placed between the friction clutch and at least one of the driven gearwheels.
Preferably, the first path comprises odd-numbered forward gears, and the second path comprises even-numbered forward gears. In this way, shifting between adjacent gears is possible by opening one of the friction clutches and simultaneously closing the other, so that the flow of torque is not interrupted during shifting.
A reverse gear is preferably incorporated into the second path. In this way, shifting between first forward and reverse gears becomes possible by simply opening one friction clutch and closing the other.
Since tho omount of tha tauuhi5ion ratios ot first forward and reverse gears usually is rather similar, it is convenient that a forward gear and the reverse gear should share a drive gearwheel on the input shaft.
For instance, one drive gearwheel may mesh directly with two other gearwheels, namely a forward driven gearwheel on one of the output shafts, preferably the driven gearwheel of the first gear, and a reversing gearwheel on an auxiliary shaft, which in turn meshes with the driven gearwheel of the reverse gear on the other output shaft.
Alternatively, there can be a driven gearwheel on one output shaft which meshes with an associated drive gearwheel on the input shaft and with the reverse driven gearwheel on the other output shaft.
Since the torque transmitted in the first forward gear can be higher than in higher forward gears, the drive gearwheel shared by first forward and reverse gears is best placed closer to a torque receiving end of the input shaft than all other drive gearwheels.
Similarly, the driven gearwheels on the two layshafts associated to first forward and reverse gears are preferably closer to the friction clutches than any other driven gearwheels.
In order to achieve a convenient spacing between the gear ratios of the various forward gears, it is convenient for the second forward gear to have a drive gearwheel on the input shaft exclusively dedicated to it, in particular, if the total number of forward gears is even.
In order to achieve flexible gear ratios of the different gears, the two pinions on the layshaft may have different diameters. Also the distances between the input shaft and the two layshafts may be different.
A torsion damper may be provided in the input shaft in order to prevent clattering of meshing gearwheels due to speed variations of an engine driving the input shaft.
For preventing unwanted reverse movement of the vehicle, in particular when driving uphill, a shiftable one-way clutch may be associated to at least one of the layshafts.
The one-way clutch preferably has blocking elements which are rotatable around the layshaft and have an unbiocking position radially outward of a blocking position, so that when the blocking elements rotate, they are urged towards the unbiocking position by centrifugal force. In this way, the one-way clutch is automatically disengaged if the vehicle speed is above a predetermined limit. Alternatively, other one-way clutch concepts without blocker bodies such as other friction based concepts, form-or force fit units may be used.
In a vehicle comprising the double clutch transmission as described above, the power train may be simplified by providing a rigid connection between a motor and the input shaft of the double clutch transmission. In such an arrangement the reflected inertia of the driven gears to the input shaft shall be evenly distributed to reduce clatter sensitivity.

embodiments thereof referring to the appended drawings.
Figs. 1 to 5 are schematic diagrams of double clutch transmissions according to first to fifth embodiments of the invention.
The transmission shown in Fig. 1 has an input shaft 1 which is permanently connected to the crankshaft of a motor 2. The input shaft 1 carries a torsion damper, e.g. a double-mass flywheel 3. Drive gearwheels 4 to 7 are splined to input shaft 1. The diameter of the drive gearwheels increases with their distance from motor 2.
The smallest drive gearwheel 4, closest to motor 2, meshes with a driven gearwheel 9 on a layshaft 10, and with a reversing gearwheel 11, which, in turn, meshes with a driven gearwheel 12 on a second layshaft 13.
Second smallest drive gearwheel 5 meshes only with a driven gearwheel 14 on second layshaft 13. The two largest drive gearwheels 6, 7 mesh with driven gearwheels 15, 16 and 17, 18, respectively, on first and second layshafts 10, 13.
The transmission comprises two friction clutches, one on each layshaft 10, 13. The friction clutches may be of the wet or the dry type, as load requires and available package size permits. Each friction clutch has an upstream member 19, 20 comprising a plurality of discs splined to its respective layshaft 10, 13, and a downstream member 21, 22 formed of a plurality of discs connected to a sleeve 23, 24 rotatably mounted on shaft 10, 13. In a space between each friction clutch and a facing driven gearwheel 9, 12, an output pinion 25, 26 is mounted on sleeve 23, 24. The two output pinions 25, 26 mesh with a same diLLLeI1Lia1, not shown.
A dog clutch, not shown, is associated to each drive gearwheel 4, 5, 6 and 7, in order to selectively lock one of them at a time to input shaft 1.
The transmission of Fig. 1 has six forward gears and a reverse gear. Since the distance dl between input shaft 1 and layshaft 10 is greater than the distance d2 between input shaft 1 and layshaft 13, among the two gears formed e.g. by gearwheels 7, 17, 18, the one formed by gearwheels 7 and 18 is the higher one. Given the size relations of the gearwheels shown in Fig. 1, it is readily apparent that gearwheels 7, 18 form the sixth gear, gearwheels 7, 17 form the fifth gear, gearwheels 6, 16 form the fourth gear, and gearwheels 6, 15 form the third gear. Among the gear ratios of these four gears, three can be set arbitrarily by choosing the distances dl, d2 between the shafts 1, 10, 13 and the diameters of e.g. gearwheels 6, 7. The diameters of gearwheels 15-18 are determined by these choices, so that a fourth gear ratio is predetermined by the geometrical constraints. If first and second gear shared a drive gearwheel, it would not be possible to choose their gear ratios independently from one another. By instead using dedicated drive gearwheel 5 only for the second gear, the transmission ratio of this gear can be set arbitrarily. Since d2 is smaller than dl, gearwheel 12 must be smaller than gearwheel 9, and the amount of the gear ratio of the reverse gear can only be smaller than that of the first gear.
Geometrical constraints concerning the amount of the transmission ratio of the reverse gear can be relieved by providing not a single reversing gearwheel 11 as shown in Fig. 1, but stepped reversing gearwheels 27, fS r.__ _ * J_1__,.__ 11UWLi ill � .L. .. y IIV.L11 L1I LLLJL Lfl1, . I U.L the two reversing gearwheels 27 28 mesh with drive gearwheel 4 and the smaller one, 28, with driven gearwheel 9, the amount of the transmission ratio of the reverse gear can be increased beyond what the geometrical constraints would allow in the embodiment of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a diagram of a seven-gear transmission according to the invention. Components common to this embodiment and the previous ones have identical reference numerals and are not described again. An additional driven gearwheel 29 is provided on layshaft 10, meshing with the second smallest drive gearwheel 5. Here the distance d2 between layshaft 13 and input shaft 1 is larger than the distance dl between layshaft 10 and input shaft 1. Therefore, gearwheel pairs 5 + 27, 6 + 15 and 7 + 17 give third, fifth and seventh gears, respectively, whereas gearwheel pairs 5 + 14, 6 + 16 and 7 + 18 combine to form gears 2, 4 and 6, as in the previous embodiments.
Due to the increased distance d2 between shafts 1 and 13, gearwheel 12 need not be smaller than gearwheel 9, so that the amount of the transmission ratio of the reverse gear is not necessarily smaller than that of the first gear if a single reversing gearwheel 11 meshing with gearwheels 4, 12 is used.
Fig. 4 illustrates a six-gear transmission which is similar to that of Fig. 1 except for the presence of a one-way clutch 30 in sleeve 24. In a way familiar to the man of the art, one way clutch 30 has concentrical inner and outer races and a plurality of blocking elements 31 in a space between the two races, which are movably connected to one of the races to engage steps formed at the other race, whereby a rotation of the two races with respect to each other in a prohibited direction is blocked. In the one way clutch 30 of Fig. 4, the outer race has the biukixiy elements 30 connected to it and rotates with sleeve 24, whereas the inner race is solidly connected to a casing of the transmission. While a forward gear is engaged in the transmission, the blocking elements 30 are freely movable, so that they come to engage the steps of the inner race if the differential rotates in a reverse direction, preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards if no gear is engaged. The blocking elements 31 are connected to a gearshift lever, not shown, in order to be blocked in a position adjacent to the outer race if the reverse gear is selected, in order to prevent them from blocking in that case. If the vehicle is rolling forward above a predetermined speed, the blocking elements 31 rotate with sleeve 24 and are urged into that same position adjacent to the outer race by centrifugal force. Thus there is no contact between them and the inner race, and, hence, no wear, when the vehicle is being driven at a speed of more than a few kilometres per hour.
The transmission of Fig. 5 differs from that off Fig. 1 by the fact that there is no reversing gearwheel 11 on an auxiliary shaft, so that drive gearwheel 4 meshes only with driven gearwheel 9 on layshaft 10.
Gearwheel 9, in turn, meshes with gearwheel 12 on layshaft 13, causing the latter to run in the reverse direction.
