Definitions

  • This invention relates to transmission devices for ground vehicles and more particularly for motor-cars.
  • the invention more specifically relates to transmission devices capable of automation and/or capable of providing numerous transmission ratios with a relatively simple structure .
  • an epicyclic train provides one or the other of two ratios, one of the ratios being a direct drive obtained by means of a clutch which binds together two intermeshed rotary elements of the train.
  • Epicyclic trains providing more than two ratios are known but they generally consist of so-called
  • “complex” epicyclic trains that is to say epicyclic trains having more than three intermeshed rotary elements and which are in fact equivalent to at least two elementary epicyclic trains .
  • EP-A-0 683 877 discloses automatic transmission devices in which the automatic control is made simpler thanks to exploitation of the axial thrust of helical teeth, at the same time as a measurement of the transmitted torque and as an actuating force which is proportional to this torque.
  • This force maintains in the disengaged condition a direct-drive clutch mounted between the input element and the output element of the epicyclic train when the epicyclic train operates as a speed reducing gear.
  • the third element of the train is maintained stationary by a one-way clutch (free-wheel) when the engine torque is motive and by an auxiliary brake subjected to an hydraulic actuation when the engine torque is reversed (engine-brake operation) .
  • the engagement of the direct-drive clutch takes place under the effect of centrifugal fly-weights when the rotational speed is high enough for allowing such fly-weights to overcome the axial tooth thrust.
  • the hydraulic actuating force is also used for influencing the automatic behaviour of the transmission, that is to say for altering the "natural" balance between the tooth thrust and the centrifugal actuating force.
  • the axial displacements need splines operating under load, which have a tendency to "pollute" the torque and speed signals provided by the tooth thrust and by the centrifugal fly-weights respectively.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a transmission device allowing to provide numerous ratios with a remarkably simple structure and an enhanced mechanical efficiency.
  • a transmission device wherein a differential mechanism comprises:
  • - actuating means for said coupling means is characterized in that - a first one of said selective coupling means is mechanically in parallel with the one-way clutch;
  • a second one of said selective coupling means is mounted operatively between said first element and a third one of said elements; - said two friction coupling means are coordinated by an inverter control means between two stable states in each of which one of the coupling means is engaged and the other is released, respectively.
  • the first rotary element of the differential mechanism is involved in all the coupling changes which are necessary for changing the transmission ratio.
  • the first rotary element is i) either made fast with the second element (e.g. the casing) by the first selective coupling means and, for one of the torque direction, by the one-way clutch mounted in parallel with this first coupling means , ii) or made fast with the third element (e.g. one of the rotary connection elements and, in a still more precise example, the input rotary connection element) by the second selective coupling means.
  • the other elements constituting the transmission device are thus rendered much more simpler.
  • the friction coupling means can be spatially grouped close to each other in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • each friction coupling means has a part which is fast with the first rotary element and it is therefore no longer necessary to transmit forces between elements rotating at different speeds.
  • the inverter control means which is typically connected for common rotation with the first rotary element may, between its two stable conditions, move through a floating position where the two friction coupling means are both disengaged. This is not a drawback because the one-way clutch simultaneously realises the situation corresponding to engagement of the first selective coupling means.
  • the one-way clutch is mounted in parallel with the coupling means which is engaged for the operation providing the lower of the two transmission ratios, and the direction forbidden by the one-way clutch is that which would produce a still lower transmission ratio.
  • the first rotary element of the differential mechanism is integral with the inverter control means and to contribute to actuation of the inverter control means by way of the tooth thrust, the teeth being made helical.
  • the inverter control means is preferably implemented as a simple pressure member having two opposed faces each of which is capable of tightening a respective one of the first and second friction coupling means.
  • one-way clutches available in the commerce do not allow relative axial displacement.
  • a means for common rotation and axial displaceability is preferably mounted operatively between one of the first and second elements and a one-way clutch support.
  • an axially unslidable bearing between the one-way clutch support and the other of said first and second elements.
  • the first rotary element is guided for axial sliding independently of the means for common rotation with axial displaceability.
  • the means for common rotation may be mounted between the first element and the one-way clutch support.
  • the support therefore rotates at the same speed as the first rotary element while being made axially fast with the second element which is typically the casing element.
  • the support is then adapted to bear another actuating means, such as a spring, which can thus axially urge the first rotary element without any need of interposing any axial thrust bearing.
  • a still further actuating means can consist of an hydraulic pushing element which is attached to the first rotary element, is coaxial therewith and can simultaneously contribute to the slidable guiding of the first rotary element.
  • a same rotary connection element e.g. the input element
  • the two friction coupling means which are not in parallel with a one-way clutch
  • one of the four operating conditions corresponding to the case where the above-mentioned two friction coupling means are disengaged is a neutral condition which is useful e.g. for allowing the vehicle to remain stationary while the engine shaft of the vehicle rotates.
  • the two other selective coupling means are brakes blocking the differential mechanism and, therewith, the output connection element, a parking brake function is simultaneously fulfilled.
  • the transmission device two differential mechanisms which are controlled in the just described manner.
  • One of the conditions of one of the differential mechanisms may be a reverse run ratio.
  • the reverse run ratio is provided in the differential mechanism which is located further downstream.
  • a transmission mechanism comprises:
  • At least one friction coupling means capable of providing a neutral condition in the transmission mechanism when disengaged, and a power transmission relationship between said two connection elements in the engaged condition
  • actuating means for actuating the friction coupling means, said actuating means comprising : a) two antagonistic actuating means, at least one of said two antagonistic actuating means being controllable; b) an axial movability of at least one of said two intermeshed rotary elements, and transmission means for transmitting an axial tooth thrust of said intermeshed rotary element to a pressure member of the friction coupling means.
  • a friction coupling means provided in the transmission mechanism is operable for providing a neutral condition in which the power transmission flow path from the prime mover to the load to be driven e.g. the wheels of a vehicle, is interrupted within the transmission mechanism. Furthermore, the axial tooth thrust created by the gear teeth in the transmission is used as an actuating force for the friction coupling means. If the tooth thrust is in a direction corresponding to engagement of the friction coupling means, the result is a reduction of the additional force which is necessary for engaging the friction coupling means. Typically, this additional force is produced by the controllable actuator, such as a hydraulic actuator.
  • Disengagement of the clutch can be performed by a spring which is strong enough to counteract the tooth pressure when the controllable actuator is de- energized.
  • a spring which is strong enough to counteract the tooth pressure when the controllable actuator is de- energized.
  • Such a device is able to perform progressive start of the vehicle when the transmission device is initially in the neutral condition while the vehicle engine has being previously started.

  • the transmission device is essentially comprised of a differential mechanism 1 comprising :
  • a casing element 2 which is only partly represented and comprises i.a. a stator shaft 21, which is made stationary against translation and rotation, and extends along a main axis X of the mechanism; an input rotary connection element 3, which is prevented from translation with respect to the casing element 2 and comprises an input shaft 31 extending along the main axis X beyond an end of the stator shaft 21, the input shaft 31 being intended to be directly or indirectly connected to a drive engine shaft of vehicle;
  • an output rotary connection element 4 intended to be connected, at least indirectly, to the vehicle wheels, and comprising a tubular shaft 31 arranged along axis X with a possibility of relative rotation around the stator shaft 21;
  • a sun wheel rotary element 5 arranged along axis X around the stator shaft 21 and capable of rotation with respect to the latter about axis X;
  • a rotary crown element 6 which is rotatably mounted about the axis X and arranged about the sun wheel element 5 and the stator shaft 21, the input connection element 3 having a bell-shaped element 32 by which the crown-wheel 6 is made fast with the input shaft 31;
  • a planet-carrier rotary element 7 which is integral with the output shaft 41 and carries spindles 71 which are regularly distributed about axis X and eccentrated with respect to the main axis X and on which planets 72, which are freely rotatable thereon, mesh simultaneously with the sun-wheel element 5 and the crown wheel element 6, thereby to form with them an epicyclic train; a one-way clutch 8 which is merely symbolically represented and which prevents the sun-wheel element 5 from rotating with respect to the casing element 2 in a direction which would be contrary to that of the input shaft 31.
  • the transmission device would operate only as a speed-reducing gear and only if the torque applied onto the input shaft 31 is a motive torque.
  • the load undergone by the planet carrier 7 from the output shaft 41 tends to stop the spindles 71 so that the motive torque applied onto the crownwheel 6 tends to cause reverse rotation of the sun-wheel element 5.
  • the one-way clutch 8 prevents that the sun-wheel element 5 is stopped and the planet carrier 7 rotates at a speed which is intermediate between the zero speed of the sun-wheel element 5 and the speed of the crownwheel 6 corresponding to that of the input shaft 31. If the torque applied to the engine shaft 31 is negative, i.e.
  • the brake 9 When engaged, the brake 9 makes the sun-wheel 5 stationary with respect to the casing element 2 and thus allows the transmission device to operate as a speed-reducing gear when the torque applied to the input shaft 31 is negative, in the same manner as when the torque is positive.
  • the brake 9 may be dimensioned in a manner which is just enough for the braking operation, which involves much weaker torques than the peak motive torque.
  • the transmission device furthermore allows to realize a direct drive ratio thanks to a second friction coupling means- or clutch - 10 capable of selectively coupling for common rotation two of the three rotary elements 5, 6, 1 of the epicyclic train so that the whole epicyclic train rotates as a sole part about the axis X. This is automatically permitted by the free wheel 8 but needs to disengage the brake 9.
  • the second friction coupling means 10 is associated to the same rotary element, i.e. in the represented example to the sun- wheel element 5, as the other already described coupling meams, i.e. the one-way clutch 8 and the first coupling means 9. More particularly, in the represented example, the second friction coupling means is mounted operatively between the sun-wheel element 5 and the input connection means 3.
  • a single control member 111 operates as an inverter between two stable conditions in each of which a respective one of the friction coupling means 9, 10 is engaged and the other, respectively, is disengaged.
  • inverter control means 111 is an axially movable pressure member. When urged towards the right of figure 1, pressure member 111 engages brake 9 and disengages clutch 10. When urged towards the left of figure 1, pressure member 111 disengages brake 9 and engages clutch 10. Shifting from one to the other of these two stable conditions is performed by an axial translational movement.
  • Pressure member 111 is integral with the sun-wheel element 5 and therefore rotates at the same speed of rotation as the latter. Since both friction coupling means 9 and 10 both have the function of selectively connecting the sun-wheel element 5 with a respective other element of the mechanism 1, the integral connection of pressure member 111 with sun-wheel element 5 allows to realize pressure member 111 in the form of a common pressure member having two opposed, pressing faces, i.e. a pressing face 112 for the stack of discs of brake 9 and a pressing face 113 for the stack of discs of clutch 10.
  • the one-way clutches available in the commerce need to be mounted between two components which are axially stationary with respect to each other.
  • the one-way clutch 8 cannot be directly mounted between the sun- wheel element 5 and the casing element 2.
  • a support 51 having on its outer periphery axial splines 52 engaging corresponding axial splines 53 of the sun-wheel element 5, whereby sun-wheel element 5 is slidable with respect to the support 51 while being coupled for common rotation therewith.
  • the support 51 is made axially stationary with respect to the casing element 2 by means of an axially unslidable bearing 54 mounted between the support 51 and the stator shaft 21.
  • the one-way clutch 8 is also mounted between support 51 and stator shaft 21 in parallel with bearing 54.
  • a first actuating means consists of the already described integral connection between the inverter control means 111 and the sun-wheel element 5.
  • the inverter control means 111 is subjected to the axial thrust occurring in the sun-wheel element 5 due to the helical shape of its teeth. This thrust is a measurement of the torque transmitted by the teeth;
  • a second actuating means comprises at least one spring 114, e.g. a stack of BELLEVILLE washers, interposed between support 51 which is axially stationary and the sun-wheel element 5; ' - the third actuating means is an hydraulic actuator 116 comprising an annular chamber 22 formed within the casing element 2, and a piston 117 which is integral with the inverter control member 111 and has an annular shape around axis X. Piston 117 is thus rotating about axis X within ' chamber 22 which is integral with the casing element 2.
  • Figure 1 illustrates with arrows FI and F2 the two possible directions for the tooth thrust experienced by the sun-wheel element 5.
  • the axial thrust appears in a corresponding given direction when the torque applied onto the input shaft 31 is motive, and in the contrary direction when the torque applied onto the- input shaft 31 is negative (engine brake operation) .
  • the springs 114 maintain brake 9 engaged and clutch 10 disengaged: the transmission device operates as a speed-reducing gear.
  • the teeth axial thrust FI reinforces engagement of clutch 9 due to being added to the force of springs 114; for shifting to the upper transmission ratio, an appropriate hydraulic pressure is applied to the actuator 116 for overcoming the force of springs 114 and the force FI if any;
  • the tooth thrust is reversed while taking a relatively low value which is not enough for overcoming the springs force 114.
  • the device thus normally operates as a speed reducing gear except if an appropriate hydraulic pressure is applied within the chamber 22.
  • both operating conditions i.e. between both stable conditions of the control member 111
  • the simultaneous disengagement of both coupling means 9 and 10 is not a problem since the sun- wheel element 5 remains stuck by the one-way clutch 8 so that the operation takes place in the speed-reducing mode.
  • the chamber 22 is fed with a pressure which is high enough for engaging clutch 10 strongly enough.
  • Shifting to the direct drive operation occurs when the tooth thrust FI sufficiently decreases and/or when a pressure or a supplemental pressure sufficiently high is applied within the chamber of actuator 116.
  • the engine brake operation necessarily occurs in direct drive because all the actuating forces are then directed towards the left of figure 1.
  • figure 2 will be described only as to its differences over figure 1.
  • Figure 1 showed implementation of a so-called "grouped" control structure which strongly groups together all the control and coupling members practically on a single one of the rotary elements of the planetary train, i.e. the sun-wheel 5. This provides the possibility of performing other controls and other selective couplings on at least one other rotary element of the planetary train, for providing further transmission ratios.
  • a second actuating and control structure is grouped onto * the crown-wheel 6 of the planetary train 5, 6, 7.
  • the crown-wheel 6 in addition to the sun-wheel element 5 which may be selectively connected with the input connection element 3 or with the casing element 2, the crown-wheel 6 can be selectively connected with the input connection element 3 and with the casing element 2, another portion 23 of which is now illustrated.
  • the grouped control and coupling structure for the crown-wheel 6 is very similar to that described for sun- wheel element 5. More specifically, an inverter control member 211 is integral with crown-wheel 6 and axially displaceable therewith. Member 211 comprises a pressing face 212 for selectively engaging brake 209 operatively mounted between the crown-wheel 6 and the portion 23 of the casing, and an opposed pressing face 213 for selectively engaging clutch 210 mounted operatively between the crown-wheel 6 and the input connection element 3.
  • the portion 23 of the casing element 2 defines a chamber 24 of an hydraulic actuator 216, with a piston 217 being fast with the crown-wheel 6 and slidable within said chamber.
  • a support 251 is coupled for common rotation with but axially slidable relatively to the crown-wheel 6 thanks to splines 252, 253.
  • Springs 214 mounted axially between the support 251 and the piston 217 axially urge the crown wheel 6 in a direction contrary to that of the hydraulic pressure which may prevail in chamber 24.
  • the transmission device is capable of four main operating conditions, corresponding to the four possible combinations of stable conditions of the inverter control members 111 and 211 : - if member 111 is in its stable condition toward the right of figure 2 and member 211 is in its stable condition toward the left of figure 2, both clutches 10 and 210 are disengaged.
  • the result is a neutral condition because the input connection member 3 is discoupled from all the rotary elements of the planetary train; starting from this neutral situation, a first transmission ratio is provided by causing control member 111 to move to its other stable condition while the crown-wheel 6 is kept stationary by brake 209 and/or by free-wheel 208.
  • a first reduction ratio corresponding to a low speed of rotation of the output shaft 41 with respect to the input shaft 31, is realised;
  • the fourth condition is a direct drive condition obtained by maintaining control member 211 of crown-wheel 6 in the condition causing engagement of clutch 210 and by causing control member 111 to move into its condition causing engagement of clutch 10.
  • the input connection member 3 is thus simultaneously fast with the sun-wheel element 5 and with the crown-wheel 6, this realising the direct drive in the transmission device.
  • three forces comprising a tooth thrust, a resilient force and a force which is selectively applied by hydraulic means.
  • the grouped control and actuating structure associated with crown-wheel 6 has been reversed with respect to that associated with sun-wheel element 5 because in operation the tooth thrust in the crown-wheel 6 and in the sun-wheel element 5 are always equal and opposite. Consequently, in this non-limiting example, the combination of directions of the various actuating forces is the same for both grouped structures. It is noticeable that despite provision of four operating conditions in a single simple epicyclic train, no control and no coupling concerns e.g. the planet carrier 7 and the output shaft 41, and no thrust bearing is necessary for transmitting thrust between rotary members having different speed.
  • the hydraulic pistons are positioned at relatively great distance from the associated rotary elements with which they are integral and simultaneously serve to axially guide the associated rotary elements of the planetary train.
  • the splines 52, 53 and 252, 253 have no guiding function and therefore do not introduce noticeable friction which would tend to alter the torque signal produced by the tooth thrust.
  • springs 114 and 214 maintain brakes 9 and 209 in the engaged condition so that the whole epicyclic train and therewith the output shaft 41 are immobilised against rotation, whereby a parking brake is obtained.
  • movement of the input shaft 31, for example by starting the vehicle engine and then to progressively start the vehicle by progressively applying an hydraulic pressure within chamber 22 for progressively engaging clutch 10 and introducing a progressive start of the vehicle. Consequently, the transmission device of figure 2 allows to dispense with the clutch or torque converter which is conventionally inserted between the engine and the gearbox of a vehicle.
  • the transmission device comprises two differential mechanisms mounted in series, namely, in the following order from the input connection element 3 to the output connection element 4, a first mechanism 301 which is essentially similar to that of figure 2 and a second differential mechanism 302 which will be described in detail hereinbelow.
  • Mechanism 301 distinguishes over that of figure 2 in that the stator shaft 21 is tubular and surrounds the input shaft 31, the vehicle engine being assumed to be of the left of figure 3 and no longer on the right of the figure (case of figure 2) .
  • piston 217 integral with the crown-wheel 6 is replaced by a piston 27 integral with the casing element 2 and it is the element 6 forming the crown-wheel which defines the corresponding hydraulic chamber designated by reference numeral 64.
  • the springs 214 no longer bear onto the piston but are mounted about guiding rods 61 which are integral with the crown element 6, and slidably extend through the support 251 which is provided with appropriate bores.
  • the springs 214 are mounted between a back face of the support and a flange 62 of the rods 61.
  • the crown- element 6 is provided on an inner bore with a bushing 63 for sliding onto the outer peripheral face of the tubular shaft 41 which now represents not only the output shaft of the first mechanism 301 but also the input shaft of the second mechanism 302. Shaft 41 is thus attached to an input connection element 330 of mechanism 302.
  • Mechanism 302 comprises a simple epicyclic train essentially comprised of a sun-wheel element 350, a crown element 360 and a planet-carrier 370.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un train planétaire capable de fonctionner comme engrenage réducteur lorsque le planétaire (5) est bloqué par une roue libre (8), et en entraînement direct lorsque l'embrayage (10) est engagé. La structure de couplage et de commande globale concernant le changement de rapport est essentiellement groupé sur l'élément planétaire (5) qui peut coulisser par rapport à un dispositif convertisseur (111) et forme une seule pièce avec ce dernier, dispositif qui engage le frein (9) lorsqu'il se désengage de l'embrayage (10), et inversement. Le frein (9) est monté mécaniquement en parallèle avec une roue libre (8), et permet une opération de réduction de vitesse lorsque le couple appliqué à l'arbre d'entrée (31) est un couple de retardement. La roue libre est montée en parallèle avec un palier axialement non coulissant (54) entre un arbre de stator (21) et un support (51) couplé pour une rotation commune avec un élément planétaire (5) et un coulissement mutuel avec ce dernier. L'actionnement de l'élément de commande (111) est réalisé par une commande hydraulique (116), des ressorts (114) et l'engagement de la poussée axiale de la denture hélicoïdale (F1, F2). L'invention est utile pour simplifier la commande, garder la possibilité d'autres couplages sélectifs, permettre d'autres conditions d'exploitation avec les autres éléments rotatifs (6, 7) du train, et pour éviter les paliers de butée.
