Definitions
- the invention relates to a torque transmission unit for a motor vehicle with a permanently driven primary axle and a switchable secondary axle.
- a torque transmission unit has a first connecting part and a second connecting part, which are rotatable relative to one another, wherein the first connecting part for direct or indirect connection to a drive unit of the motor vehicle and the second connecting part for direct or indirect connection to the secondary axis of the motor vehicle is provided , or the other way around.
- the torque transfer unit thus serves to transfer part of the drive torque to the secondary axis.
- the said first connection part and the second connection part may be a drive shaft and an output shaft, or vice versa.
- such a torque transfer unit may be part of an integrated offset drive transfer case, i. with an input shaft and two output shafts.
- Such a torque transmission unit can be equipped with a magneto-rheological coupling and a planetary gear.
- the magnetorheological clutch has at least one electrical coil for generating a magnetic field which acts on an associated magnetorheological medium.
- the magnetorheological medium is, for example, magnetic powder-that is to say magnetizable particles-which is suspended, in particular, in a liquid in order to form a magnetorheological fluid. By applying a magnetic field, the magnetic powder solidifies or increases the viscosity of the suspension.
- Said planetary gear has at least a first Getriebele- element which is rotatably connected to the first connecting part, a second transmission element, which is rotatably connected to the second connecting part, and a third gear element, which cooperates with the magnetorheological coupling.
- the planetary gear thus ultimately acts as a differential gear, wherein a rotational movement of the second connecting part relative to the first connecting part causes a rotational movement of the third gear element, which cooperates with the magnetorheological clutch.
- the magnetorheological clutch By means of the magnetorheological clutch, a rotational movement of the second connecting part relative to the first connecting part of the torque transmitting unit can thus be influenced. As a result, so the torque transmission to the secondary axis can be influenced.
- a magnetic field is generated by appropriate energization of the electric coil, which acts on the magnetorheological medium.
- the magnetorheological coupling used satisfies the requirements in relation to the required clutch torque, although the magnetorheological clutch is dimensioned accordingly.
- the size and weight of the torque transfer unit - and in particular the magnetorheological coupling - however undesirably large.
- a small design is desired for many applications.
- the moment transmission unit should have the smallest possible size, in particular in the radial direction.
- the torque transfer unit thus has a plurality of fins, which are subdivided in an alternating arrangement in primary disks and secondary disks, wherein each of the primary disks and secondary disks is surrounded on at least two sides by the magnetorheological medium, i. is in contact with the magnetorheological medium.
- the primary disks are rotatably connected to said third transmission element of the planetary gear, in particular with a sun gear, as will be explained below.
- the secondary disks are rotatably connected to the first connection part, to the second connection part or to a stationary housing part of the torque transmission unit.
- the primary disks and secondary disks may be thin-walled. In this way, the electric coil, the magnetorheological medium and the primary disks and secondary disks form a magnetorheological clutch, which has a high moment capacity with a small overall size and low weight.
- the planetary gear is designed such that a rotational movement of the second connecting part (eg output shaft) relative to the first connecting part (eg drive shaft) a rotational movement of the primary connected to the third gear element primary fins with a translation into fast causes (increase the speed). This reduces the clutch torque to be applied by the magnetorheological clutch in accordance with the increase in the rotational speed of the third gear element relative to the rotational speed difference between the first and the second connecting part of the torque transmission unit.
- the required coupling torque can also be achieved with a small radial extent (relative to the axis of rotation of the torque transmission unit).
- the axial extent of the torque transmission unit can be kept low, since in many applications can be dispensed with additional electrical coils.
- the primary disks and secondary disks of the magnetorheological clutch have a respective hollow cylindrical portion, which is arranged coaxially to the axis of rotation of the torque transmission unit and which is surrounded on the respective inside and outside of the magnetorheological medium.
- These hollow cylindrical sections are thus arranged nested in the radial direction.
- each of the primary disks and secondary disks is designed as a so-called top disk, which has a radial portion and a hollow-cylindrical axial portion, as explained above.
- the radial section extends with respect to the axis of rotation of the torque transmission unit in the radial direction.
- the hollow cylindrical axial section adjoins the respective radial section and is arranged coaxially with the axis of rotation of the torque transmission unit.
- the radial sections at least the primary disks (which are non-rotatably connected to said third transmission element) are directed radially inwards.
- the radial sections of the secondary fins may be directed radially inwardly and / or outwardly.
- the working spaces for the magnetorheological medium adjacent to a transition region between the respective radial section and the respective axial section of the primary lamellae or secondary lamella are closed radially inwards by means of a closure device extending in the axial direction, so that essentially cylindrical working spaces are formed, in which the magnetorheological medium is added.
- openings can be provided at the transition region between the respective Radialb section and axial section of the relevant lamella, for example, for filling the workrooms or for leveling.
- the said closure device can be realized particularly easily by a plastic ring which is injection molded onto the radial sections of the primary disks or secondary disks.
- a plurality of such plastic rings may be provided, molded for example from two axial sides.
- other types of closure devices are possible, for example metal rings.
- Said radial sections of the primary disks or secondary disks are arranged adjacent to one another in the axial direction with respect to the axis of rotation of the torque transmission unit.
- sealing rings are arranged on a radially outer peripheral side of said closure device (again relative to the axis of rotation of the torque transfer unit), one sealing ring in each case on the two sides of the axial arrangement of the radial sections of the slats.
- the radial sections of the primary disks are rotatably connected via a respective splines with the third gear element of the planetary gear (directly or via an intermediate element), wherein the respective splines radially within the said closure device is provided.
- the closure device only has to fulfill a sealing function, while the circumferentially occurring forces are absorbed by the spline.
- the planetary gear is arranged with respect to the axis of rotation of the torque transfer unit in axial extension to the Primärla- and secondary disks, in particular adjacent to the radial portions of the primary disks. This also contributes to a slim design, so with low radial extent at.
- clutch plates with a substantially annular disk-shaped design as an alternative to the above-mentioned top plates.
- the electric coil is arranged on a stationary housing part of the torque transfer unit, for example on a cover section.
- a stationary housing part of the torque transfer unit for example on a cover section.
- the planetary gear of the torque transmitting unit it is in the third gear member, which is rotatably connected to the primary blades of the magnetorheological clutch, preferably a sun gear.
- the sun gear is around that part of the planetary gear, which - based on the axis of the planetary gear - the smallest effective radius has (radius of the toothing of the sun gear with the planetary gears).
- a favorable lever ratio is thus possible in order to support a torque transmitted by the planetary gear via the sun gear by means of the magnetorheological clutch.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a torque transmission unit according to the invention in a drive train of a motor vehicle.
- Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a part of a second
- Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a part of a third
- FIG. 5a shows a cross-sectional view of a fifth embodiment of a torque transmission unit according to the invention.
- 5b and 5c show detailed views of the fifth embodiment in two different sectional planes.
- the torque transmission unit 13 has a drive shaft 15, an output shaft 17, a planetary gear 19 coupled to the drive shaft 15 and the output shaft 17, and a magnetorheological clutch 21 coupled to the planetary gear 19 and configured here as a brake.
- the drive train 11 of the motor vehicle also comprises a drive unit 23 (for example an internal combustion engine), a manual transmission 25 (manually or automatically actuated) coupled thereto and a transfer case 27.
- the transfer case 27 transmits a drive torque to the wheels of the front axle via a front-axle differential (not shown) 29, which forms the permanently driven vehicle axle in the embodiment shown and is therefore referred to as the primary axis.
- the transfer case 27 transmits part of the drive torque via a cardan shaft 31 to the drive shaft 15 of the torque transfer unit 13.
- the output shaft 17 of the torque transmission unit 13 is connected to a bevel gear 33, which meshes with a ring gear 35 of a rear differential 37.
- the bevel gear 33 and the ring gear 35 together form a differential gear 39 of the gear assembly, as will be explained below.
- the rear differential 37 distributes a torque transmitted to the divider wheel 35 to the wheels of the rear axle 41, which in the exemplary embodiment shown forms a secondary axle of the motor vehicle.
- the planetary gear 19 of the torque transmission unit 13 has a planetary carrier 43 which is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 15 and on which a plurality of planet wheels 45 are freely rotatably mounted. Further, the planetary gear 19 has a ring gear 47 which is rotatably connected to the output shaft 17 and which meshes with the planetary gears 45. In addition, the planetary gear 19 has a sun gear 49, which also meshes with the planet gears 45.
- the planet carrier 43, the ring gear 47 and the sun gear 49 are rotatably supported with respect to a rotation axis A.
- the sun gear 49 is rotatably connected via a rotatably mounted on the drive shaft 15 hollow shaft 51 with a plurality of primary disks 53, which form part of the magnetorheological clutch 21.
- the rotatable primary disks 53 have a radius which, relative to the axis A, is significantly greater than the effective radius of the toothing of the sun gear 49 with the planet wheels 45.
- the magnetorheological clutch 21 also has several Housing-fixed secondary fins 55.
- the rotatable primary fins 53 and the housing-fixed secondary fins 55 are arranged alternately, so that in a space between two adjacent primary fins 53, a respective secondary fin 55 engages and in a NEN intermediate space between two adjacent secondary blades 55 engages a respective primary blade 53.
- a respective working space 57 is formed, which extends here in the radial direction and which contains a magnetorheological medium 59, for example a liquid with magnetisable particles suspended therein.
- the individual work spaces 57 may be coupled together. Incidentally, however, the space containing the magnetorheological medium 59 formed by the plurality of working spaces 57 is sealed.
- the magnetorheological clutch 21 also has an electrical coil 61 disposed axially adjacent to the blades 53, 55 and coaxial with the axis A.
- the coil 61 is capable of generating a magnetic field which acts on the magnetorheological medium 59 and thereby in turn causes a mechanical operative connection between the rotatable primary blades 53 and the housing-fixed secondary disks 55.
- An exemplary profile of the field lines 63 of the magnetic field that can be generated by means of the coil 61 is illustrated by dashed arrows.
- the coil 61 is surrounded by a yoke 65, and also on the side facing away from the coil 61 of the fins 53, 55, a yoke 67 is arranged. It should be noted that in the embodiment shown here not only the secondary fins 55 but also the coil 61, the yoke 65 and the yoke 67 are arranged in a stationary manner.
- the primary fins 53 and the secondary fins 55 are infinitely coupled in an increasingly frictionally engaged, thereby the sun gear 49 of the Planetary gear 19 decelerated or finally arrested.
- an increasing drive torque is transmitted to the secondary axle forming the rear axle 41, ie, the rear axle 41 is coupled to the front axle 29.
- the differential 39 formed by the bevel gear 33 and the ring gear 35 of the rear differential 37 has such a ratio that, taking into account the further transmission gear ratios 11, the ratio of the planetary gear 19 (with the sun gear 49 braked) ) is compensated.
- the sun gear 49 is essentially stationary when the front axle 29 and the rear axle 41 rotate at the same speed.
- the magnetorheological clutch 21 is exposed to only minimal mechanical and thermal stresses. Since there is generally no rotational movement of the primary disks 53, there is also no danger of segregation of the magnetorheological medium 59 due to centrifugal forces. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the fins 53, 55 may be formed as disk fins extending radially with respect to the rotation axis A.
- a particular advantage of the magnetorheological clutch 21 shown is that a plurality of working spaces 57 are formed with magnetorheological medium 59 between the primary disks 53 and the secondary disks 55, wherein each disk 53, 55 is surrounded on both sides by the magneto-theoretic medium 59, so that a large effective area for the interaction of the fins 53, 55 is given about the magnetorheological medium 59.
- the planetary gear 19 is configured such that a rotational movement of the drive shaft 15 and the output shaft 17 relative to each other with respect to the primary blades 53 causes a speed-up. This means that for braking or holding the primary disks 53 only such a clutch torque must be applied, which is reduced according to the transmission ratio of the planetary gear 19.
- the coil 61 may be arranged fixed to the housing, whereby the structure is simplified.
- the drive shaft 15 need not necessarily be connected to the planet carrier 43, but instead may be coupled to the ring gear 47, in which case the output shaft 17 is coupled to the planet carrier 43 is.
- This alternative embodiment ultimately corresponds to a mirror image reversal of drive and output.
- the magnetorheological coupling 21 may in principle also have a plurality of coils 61, in particular in order to be able to generate comparatively large magnetic fields with a small radial size.
- Such several coils are preferably coaxial with each other and axially adjacent arranged to each other, arranged between the respective coils primary disks and secondary disks, wherein two adjacent respective coils are energized in opposite directions.
- FIG. 2 shows in a cross-sectional view one half of a torque transmission unit 13 with planetary gear 19 and magnetorheological clutch 21 in an embodiment in which a coil 61 with yoke 65 relative to the axial direction of the axis A on both sides of a respective alternating arrangement of Primary fins 53 and secondary fins 55 with respective yoke 67 is surrounded.
- FIG. 2 also shows a housing 71 of the torque transmission unit 13 shown. With respect to this housing 71, the coil 61 with yoke 65 and electrical terminals 73 and the secondary laminations 55 are arranged stationary.
- radial bearings 75 are shown in Fig. 2, by means of which the sun gear 49 and the primary disks 53 supporting hollow shaft 51 is mounted on the housing 71.
- seals 77 are shown which prevent leakage of magnetorheological medium 59 from the work spaces 57.
- FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a torque transmission unit 13, which differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 2 substantially by the configuration of the blades 53, 55.
- the primary blades 53 are still rotatable, and they are for this purpose on the hollow shaft 51 rotatably coupled to the sun gear 49.
- the secondary fins 55 are also arranged fixed to the housing.
- the lamellae 53, 55 are designed as cup-shaped flaps, which have a substantially annular disk-shaped radial section 81 and an essentially hollow-cylindrical axial section 83 adjoining thereto.
- FIG. 4 shows schematically a drive train 11 of a motor vehicle with shiftable four-wheel drive, in which a transmission arrangement according to the invention is designed as a transfer case 91.
- a drive shaft 15 of the transfer case 91 is driven, which is rotatably connected to a planet carrier 43 of a planetary gear 19.
- the drive shaft 15 also serves as a drive shaft, which is connected via a cardan shaft 93 with a bevel gear 95.
- the bevel gear 95 which is not part of the transfer case 91, meshes with a ring gear 35 of the rear differential 37.
- the planetary gears 45 which are rotatably mounted on the planet carrier 43, mesh with a sun gear 49, which is rotatably connected via a rotatably mounted hollow shaft 51 to a plurality of primary disks 53.
- Each primary blade 53 encloses a respective working one or two adjacent secondary disks 55.
- raum 57 which is filled with a magnetorheological medium 59.
- At least one energizable coil 61 - and supported by an associated yoke 65 and an opposite yoke 67 - can be generated in the working spaces 57, a magnetic field which increases the viscosity of the magnetorheological medium 59 and thereby the primary fins 53 and the secondary fins 55 coupled together to decelerate or hold the sun gear 49.
- the planet gears 45 of the planetary gear 19 mesh, moreover, with a ring gear 47.
- the ring gear 47 is here only indirectly, namely via an offset drive 97 of the transfer case 91, rotatably connected to the output shaft 17 of the transfer case 91.
- the ring gear 47 is rotatably coupled via a hollow shaft portion 99 with an input gear 101 of the offset drive 97.
- the input gear 101 is in turn via a chain 103 with an output gear 105 of the
- Offset drive 97 coupled, said output gear 105 is connected to the output shaft 17 of the transfer case 91.
- the input gear 101 and the output gear 105 may also be connected to each other via an intermediate gear or mesh directly with each other.
- the output shaft 17 of the transfer case 91 is ultimately coupled to a Vorderachsdifferential 107 which distributes a transmitted to the output shaft 17 drive torque to the wheels of the front axle 29.
- the front axle 29 is continuously selectably coupled to the rear axle 41, wherein a portion of the drive torque from the drive unit 43 via the transmission 25 to the drive shaft 15th is transmitted to the front axle 29 is supplied.
- a differential gear can be provided to compensate for the translation of the planetary gear 19 such that at the same speed of the front axle 29 and the rear axle 41, the sun gear 49 of the planetary gear s 19 is substantially stationary.
- such a differential gear can be realized by appropriate choice of the translation of the offset drive 97 (ratio of the number of teeth of the input gear 101 to the number of teeth of the output gear 105).
- FIG. 5a shows a cross-sectional view of an advantageous further embodiment of a torque transmission unit 13, which can be arranged, for example, as a so-called "hang-on" clutch in the region of one of the vehicle axles, in particular on the respective axle differential.
- a torque transmission unit 13 according to
- FIG. 5a for example, in a transfer case 91 are used, similar to what has been explained in connection with FIG. 5b and 5c show a respective detailed view of parts of the torque transmission unit 13 according to FIG. 5a, in two different sectional planes.
- the torque transmission unit 13 has a rotatably mounted drive housing 15 '(as a first connection part) and a rotatably mounted output shaft 17 (as a second connection part).
- the drive housing 15 'and the output shaft 17 are driven via a planetary gear 19 coupled with each other.
- a ring gear 47 with the drive housing 15 'rotatably connected With the output shaft 17, a planetary carrier 43 is rotatably connected, on which a plurality of planet wheels 45 are rotatably mounted.
- the planetary gear 19 further includes a sun gear 49 which is integrally formed with a hollow shaft 51 or rotatably connected, wherein the sun gear 49 is rotatably supported with the hollow shaft 51 relative to the drive housing 15 'and the output shaft 17.
- the torque transmission unit 13 further has a magnetorheological clutch 21.
- This comprises an electrical coil 61 with an associated coil core or inner yoke 65 and an outer yoke 67.
- the electric coil 61, the yoke 65 and the yoke 67 are connected to the drive housing 15th 'rotatably connected.
- the coil 61 is thus also rotatably mounted here.
- electrical connections 73 are provided in the form of sliding contacts.
- the electric coil 61 with the yoke 65 can also be arranged stationary, for example on a stationary cover section, so that despite the rotatable mounting of the drive housing 15 'and the output shaft 17 no sliding contacts for Bestromen the coil 61 are required, similar to that described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 4 described.
- the magnetorheological clutch 21 further comprises a plurality of interlocking primary blades 53 and secondary blades 55, which are arranged coaxially with the axis of rotation A of the torque transmission unit 13.
- the primary blades 53 are rotatably connected via a respective spline 109 (Fig. 5b) with the hollow shaft 51 and thus with the sun gear 49 of the planetary gear 19.
- the secondary fins 55 are rotatably connected via a respective spline 11 1 (Fig. 5b) with the drive housing 15 '.
- the primary fins 53 and the secondary fins 55 are designed as pot-type flaps, which have a respective hollow-cylindrical axial section 83 and a respective radially inwardly extending radial section 81 adjacent thereto, in each case relative to the axis of rotation A of the torque transmission unit 13.
- the radial sections 81 are formed very short in the secondary lamellae 55, and they may be even shorter than shown in Figs. 5b and 5c.
- the secondary disks 55 additionally have radially outwardly directed radial sections 81 ', on which the already mentioned splines 111 are formed.
- a respective working space 57 is formed, the filled with a magnetorheological medium.
- the working spaces 57 have substantially a cylindrical shape, i. they are essentially designed as annular gaps.
- the primary disks 53 and the secondary disks 55 between the respective axial portion 83 and the respective radially inwardly directed radial portion 81 inherently have a respective transition region 113. Along these transition regions 113, the working spaces 57 are also filled with the magnetorheological medium 59.
- the coil 61 is capable of generating a magnetic field which acts on the magneto-theoretic medium 59 and in turn causes a mechanical operative connection between the rotatable primary blades 53 and the rotatable secondary blades 55.
- the magnetorheological clutch 21 only has to apply or support a comparatively low torque.
- the planetary gear 19 is configured such that rotational movement of the output shaft 17 relative to the drive housing 15 'causes rotational movement of the sun gear 49, and thus the primary blades 53, at a speed (speed increase).
- Such a translation (i ⁇ 1) corresponds to a reduction of the torque, which must be transmitted via the primary fins 53 and secondary fins 55.
- the primary fins 53 and the secondary fins 55 - with respect to the axis of rotation A of the Menten- tenübertragungsech 13 - have a radial extent which is substantially greater than the effective radius of the sun gear 49 of the planetary gear 19.
- the distance of the hollow cylindrical axial sections 83 of the lamellae 53, 55 from the axis of rotation A significantly greater than the distance of the toothing between the sun gear 49 and the planetary gears 45 of the planetary gear 19.
- the magnetorheological clutch has 21 a particularly large effective area for the magnetorheological medium 59, so that even at low radial extent - ie at low diameter of the magnetorheological clutch 21 - high clutch torques can be generated.
- a single electric coil 61 too. use. Overall, this results in a simpler, lighter and more compact construction of the torque transfer unit 13.
- an annular closure device 115 Adjacent to the already mentioned respective transition region 113 between the axial section 83 and the radial section 81 of the top flames 53, 55, an annular closure device 115 is arranged, which closes the work spaces 57 for the magnetorheological medium 59 radially inward (FIGS. 5a and 5b). This ensures that the working spaces 57 essentially have the already mentioned cylindrical shape, whereby segregation of the magnetorheological medium 59 due to the occurring centrifugal forces is prevented. It should be noted that the working spaces 57 can be connected to one another via recesses 117, shown in FIG. 5b, in the radial sections 81 of the lamellae 53, 55, in order to allow the working spaces 57 to be infested and for mutual level compensation. It is important, however, that these recesses 117 radially within the radial innermost working space 57 are arranged so that the said separation effects are avoided.
- said closure device 115 is formed by two plastic rings 119 which are injection-molded onto the radial sections 81 of the primary fins 53.
- the radial sections 81 of the primary lamellae 53 have further openings in order to allow material flow for the injection molding of the plastic rings 119.
- said closure means 115 has only a sealing function.
- the torque transmission by means of the primary fins 53 - ie the transmission of forces in the circumferential direction - via the already mentioned spline 109 at the free ends of the radial sections 81 of the primary fins 53.
- a rivet connection 121 is provided (FIG. 5c).
- two sealing rings 123 are arranged on the radially outer peripheral side of the closure device 115, namely adjacent to the radial sections 81 of the two axially outermost primary fins 53. These seal the two outermost working spaces 57, which communicate via the recesses 117 with the inner work spaces 57 for the magnetorheological medium 59, with respect to the closure device 115 (plastic rings 119) on the one hand and the rotatable drive housing 15 'or the associated yoke 65 on the other hand that even when the torque transmission unit 13 is stationary, the magnetorheological medium 59 remains trapped in the working spaces 57.
- both sealing rings 123 are arranged radially inside the radially innermost working chamber 57, the sealing rings 123 are also used during operation of the torque Transmission unit 13 - so when the unit 13 rotates - not loaded due to the then acting centrifugal forces with an increased pressure of the magnetorheological medium 59.
- the working spaces 57 for the magnetorheological medium 59 are mutually sealed by sealing blocks 125.
