The planetary gear set embedded in the gearbox includes a sun gear, a plurality of planet gears, a planet carrier connecting these planet gears, and a ring gear to selectively operate a plurality of clutches and brakes (friction elements). By selectively fixing the gears or by acting as input elements, the required speed ratio can be achieved.

Such automatic transmissions for vehicles, as well known, fail to fully utilize engine performance in high power engines, resulting in poor fuel economy, power performance, and drive performance.

Therefore, in order to fully utilize the performance of the engine in a high-power engine, a method of allowing the gear ratio to be multistage has been proposed.

However, in the conventional automatic transmission, since the input element is limited to any one, at least two planetary gear sets must be provided. Therefore, the manufacturing cost according to the manufacture of the planetary gear sets is greatly increased, and the internal configuration is also very complicated. Has a problem.

In addition, since the two planetary gear sets are installed and a number of friction elements that can control them are additionally arranged, the overall length of the transmission becomes very long, and an installation space of an oil pump generating hydraulic pressure to operate the automatic transmission is provided. There are many difficulties in securing this.

Therefore, the present invention has been invented to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, an object of the present invention is to drive an oil pump using an engine starting ring gear mounted to a torque converter, the power of the peripheral speed It is to provide a gear train of a six-speed automatic transmission for a vehicle to join the mechanism to obtain a transmission ratio of six forward speeds and one reverse speed.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention that can specifically realize the above object will be described in detail.

1 is a view showing the gear train of the first embodiment according to the present invention, in which power generated from the engine 2 is input to the main transmission mechanism 6 through two paths through the torque converter 4 so that the shift is performed. The rotational power is shifted is configured to drive the drive wheel through the longitudinal reduction mechanism (8) including a differential mechanism.

Accordingly, when the engine rotates, the oil filled in the torque converter 4 is ejected from the pump impeller 10 and supplied to the turbine runner 12 to drive the turbine runner 12 and then flow into the stator 14. .

In addition, the oil introduced into the stator 14 changes the direction and repeats the flow of the oil into the pump impeller 10. At this time, the turbine runner shared by the stator 14 is rotated by the rotation of the stator 14. The difference between the rotational force of 12) and the rotational force of the pump impeller 10 is to be the torque conversion is made.

In addition, a ring gear 16 is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the torque converter 4 so that the pinion 20 of the starting motor 18 is engaged therewith, and an initial starting of the engine 2 is performed by the driving force of the starting motor 18. Will be done.

The main transmission mechanism 6 comprises a composite planetary gear set of the rib type and a friction element for controlling the shifting, wherein the composite planetary gear set has a first sun gear 26 of the first gear. It is integrally formed on the hollow member 28 to be arranged on the shaft 22 without rotation interference.

In addition, a first pinion (aka short pinion) 30 is engaged with the first sun gear 26, and a second pinion (aka long pinion) 32 is engaged with the first pinion 30. The ring gear 34 is meshed outside the second pinion 32.

In addition, the second pinion 32 is engaged with the second sun gear 36 inwardly, so that two planetary gear sets share the second pinion 32 and the ring gear 34 to form one composite planetary gear set. Is achieved.

In this composite planetary gear set, the first and second sun gears 26 and 36 are connected to the first shaft 22 via the first and second friction elements C1 and C2, respectively, and the first sun gear is also provided. The other side of 26 is connected to the second shaft power input gear 38 via a third friction element C3 which intercepts the power input from the second shaft 24.

Accordingly, the rotational power is input to the composite planetary gear set according to the operation control of the first, second and third friction elements C1, C2 and C3.

In addition, the planet carrier 40 supporting the first and second pinions 30 and 32 is connected to the first shaft through a fourth friction element C4 and at the same time through a fifth friction element B1. Connected to the transmission housing 42, the planetary carrier 40 operates as an input or reaction force element depending on whether the fourth and fifth friction elements C4 and B1 are selectively operated.

In addition, the connecting member 44 connecting the second friction element C3 and the second sun gear 36 is connected to the transmission housing 42 via the sixth friction element B2 to form a sixth friction element ( The second sun gear 36 is selectively operated as an input and a reaction force element depending on whether B2) is operated.

In the above, the first, second and third friction elements C1, C2 and C3 may be multi-plate clutches as clutch means, and the fourth and fifth friction elements B1 and B2 may be band clutches as brake means. Can be.

The second shaft 24, which transmits power to the second shaft power input gear 38, is equipped with an oil pump 46 at its middle to generate hydraulic pressure used to operate the torque converter 4 and the friction elements. At both ends, the gears 48 and 50 are mounted so that the front gear 48 meshes with the ring gear 16 of the torque converter 4, and the rear gear 50 has a second shaft power input gear ( 38), the second shaft 24 thereof is rotated in the opposite direction to the first shaft (22).

In addition, the longitudinal reduction mechanism 8 which receives the power shifted from the main transmission mechanism 6 and finally decelerates is connected via a transfer shaft 52 between the ring gear 34 and a ring thereof. The gear 56 meshes with the gear 54 formed on the outer circumference of the gear 34, and the gear 60 meshes with the ring gear 58 of the longitudinal reduction mechanism 8.

And the longitudinal reduction mechanism 8 comprises a differential mechanism 62, the differential mechanism 62 is a condition of the rotational power input from the ring gear 58 according to the load applied to both drive wheels 64 It will distribute the power appropriate to.

The gear train of the present invention made as described above is shifted while the friction element is operated as in the friction element operation table of FIG. 2, and the shifting process is explained by looking at the operation element table and the lever analysis table of FIG. 3.

First, in order to analyze the composite planetary gear set of the lever type in the lever method, the first node N1 on the lever L is the second sun gear 36, and the second node N2 is the planet carrier 40, It is assumed that the three nodes N3 are set as the ring gear 34 and the fourth node N4 is set as the first sun gear 26.

Considering this point, the operation process of the forward 1 speed is described. In the first speed, the first and fifth friction elements C1 and B1 are controlled to operate.

Then, the rotational power of the engine 2 is output through the first shaft 22 and the second shaft 24, where the first friction element C1 is operated to reduce the rotational power of the first shaft 22. The first friction gear B1 is input to the first sun gear 26 and the fifth friction element B1 is operated so that the planetary carrier 40 becomes a reaction force element.

At this time, the rotational power input to the second shaft 24 only drives the oil pump 46 because the third friction element C3 does not operate.

Referring to FIG. 3, the shift process is performed by a first carrier speed line S1 input to a fourth node N4, which is a first sun gear 26, and a planet carrier 40 acting as a reaction element. A line connecting the straight line L1 connecting the two nodes N2 to the third node N3 which is the output element most closely becomes the output speed line D1 of the first speed.

That is, it can be seen that the output rotation speed becomes much smaller than the input rotation speed, so that the deceleration is performed at the first speed ratio.

When the shift is made to the second speed in the first speed state as described above, the operation of the first friction element C1 is released in the first speed state thereof, and the third friction element C3 is operated and controlled.

Then, the main transmission mechanism 6 is input through the second shaft 24 by the operation of the third friction element C3 to be input to the first sun gear 26, and the fifth friction element B1 is operated. As the planetary carrier 40 becomes a reaction force element, a second speed shift is made and output through the ring gear 34.

At this time, the rotational power output to the first shaft 22 does not have any effect on the shifting process of the main transmission mechanism 6 since the first friction element C1 is not operated. And the reaction force elements may be the same, and thus may have the same speed ratio. However, this is because the second shaft 24 receives power from the ring gear 16 formed at the outer diameter of the torque converter 4. This is because the shaft 24 is input while rotating at a higher speed than the first shaft 22.

As shown in FIG. 3, the shifting process visually shows that as much as the sum of the first input speed line S1 and the second input speed line S2 is added to the fourth node N4 as the first sun gear 26. A line connecting the straight line L2 connecting the straight line L2 connecting the second node N2, which is the planetary carrier 40 acting as the reaction element, to the third node N3 as the output element. This is the output speed line D2 of the second speed.

In other words, this gives a larger input in the state of the first gen so that a shift in the second gen is achieved.

When the shift is made to the third speed in the state of the second speed as described above, the first friction element C1 and the sixth friction element B2 are operated.

Then, the rotational power of the engine 2 is input to the first sun gear 26 through the first shaft 22 by the operation of the first friction element C1, and the sixth friction element B2 is activated to operate the second friction element C1. As the sun gear 36 becomes a reaction force element, the third gear shift is made and the output is made through the ring gear 54.

At this time, the rotational power input to the second shaft 24 only drives the oil pump 46 because the third friction element C3 does not operate.

Looking at the third speed shift process while visually looking at the third diagram, the first input speed line S1 input to the fourth node N4, which is the first sun gear 26, and the second sun gear acting as a reaction element. A line connecting the straight line L3 connecting the first node N1, which is 36, to the third node N3, which is the output element, is the output speed line D3 of the third speed.

When the shift is made to the fourth speed in the third speed state as described above, the operation of the first friction element C1 is released in the third speed state, and the third friction element C3 is operated and controlled.

Then, the main transmission mechanism 6 is input through the second shaft 24 by the operation of the third friction element C3 to be input to the first sun gear 26, and the sixth friction element B2 is operated. As the second sun gear 36 becomes a reaction force element, a third speed shift is made and output through the ring gear 34.

As shown in FIG. 3, the shifting process of the fourth speed is as much as the sum of the first input speed line S1 and the second input speed line S2 with the fourth node N4, which is the first sun gear 26. A line connecting the straight line L4 connecting the first node N1, which is the second sun gear 36, which acts as a reaction force element in the state where the input is made, to the third node N3, which is the output element, is the fourth. It becomes the output speed line D4 of the inside.

When the shift is made to the fifth speed in the state of the fourth speed as described above, the operation of the third and six friction elements C3 and B2 operated at the fourth speed is released, and the first and second friction elements C1 are performed. (C2) to control operation.

Then, the rotational power of the first shaft 22 is simultaneously input to the first and second sun gears 26 and 36. As the planetary gear set is locked, it is directly connected to the fifth speed shift. .

Referring to FIG. 3, the shift process of the fifth speed is visually observed. The second sun gear acts as the first input speed line S1 and another input element as the fourth node N4 as the first sun gear 26. A line connecting the straight line L5 connecting the input speed line S3 of the first node N1 which is 36 to the third node N3 which is the output element is the output speed line D5 of the fifth speed. It will be.

When the shift is made to the sixth speed in the state of the fifth speed as described above, the operation of the first and second friction elements C1 and C2 operated at the fifth speed is released, and the fourth friction element C4 and Operation control of the sixth friction element B2.

Then, the rotational power of the second shaft 24 is directly input to the planetary carrier 40, and the second sun gear 36 is operated as a fixed element, thereby performing six shifts.

Looking at the sixth speed shift process visually while looking at Figure 3, the straight line (L6) connecting the speed input line (S3) of the second node (N2) as an input element and the first node (N1) as a fixed element. The line that most closely connects with the third node N3, which is an output element, becomes the sixth output line D6.

As described above, the process of shifting the fifth forward speed has the same operating elements in the first speed, the second speed, the third speed and the fourth speed, but in the first speed and the third speed, The rotational power is input, and in the second and fourth speeds, the rotational power of the second shaft 24, which is faster than the first shaft 22, is input, and the shift speed can be made up to 5 forward speeds.

In the sixth speed, the sixth speed can be realized by directly inputting the rotational power of the second shaft 24 having a high rotation speed to the planet carrier 40.

Further, in the reverse operation, the second friction element C2 and the fifth friction element B1 are operatively controlled so that the rotational power of the first shaft 22 is input to the second sun gear 36 and the fifth friction element B1. By the operation of the planetary carrier 40 acts as a reaction element is a reverse shift is made.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the third input speed line S3 of the first node N1, which is the second sun gear 36, and the second node N2, which is the planet carrier 40 acting as a reaction element. The line connecting the straight line (L6) connecting the closest to the third node (N3) as the output element is the reverse output speed line (R).

Since the reverse output speed line (R) is located below the lever (L), it can be clearly seen that the reverse is made.

The rotational power made by the shift as described above is to transfer the transfer shaft 52 to the longitudinal deceleration mechanism 8 to make the driving wheel 64 through the differential mechanism 62 to enable the vehicle to travel before and after. .

As described above, according to the present invention, an oil pump is driven by using an engine starting ring gear mounted to a torque converter, and the power is joined to the main transmission mechanism so that a transmission ratio of 6 forward speed and 1 reverse speed can be obtained. Will be.

In addition, by using one planetary gear set, a transmission ratio of 6 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed can be obtained, and thus the overall length of the automatic transmission can be significantly reduced than that of the conventional automatic transmission using at least two planetary gear sets.

In addition, the oil pump is driven by another shaft, there is an advantage that there is no great difficulty in securing its installation space.
