Definitions

• the invention relates to the field of automobiles, and more particularly to motion transmission and filtering devices.
• Motion transmission devices are widely present on motor vehicles. This type of device is found in gearboxes. They are used, for example, to obtain an output rotation speed different from an input rotation speed.
• Motion transmission can generate jolts and vibrations, reducing the longevity of the mechanical parts of the motor vehicle. The user can also feel these vibratory and sound nuisances.
• German document published under the number DE 102009000014 describes a device for transmitting and filtering vibrations.
• This device comprises a first rotary element and a second rotary element which is coupled to the first rotary element. Coupling is achieved by means of a series of damping elements. These damping elements are three in number, and are inserted in housings in the first rotary element.
• the second rotary member comprises pins, housed in cavities formed inside the damping elements. The rotation of the first rotary member causes the rotation of the damping elements, which in turn causes the second rotary element to rotate.
• a technique for filtering vibrations consists, in addition to the motion transmission device and filtering, to install a flyweight at the end of the compressor shaft. This increases the inertia and decreases the vibrations. In return, such a technique has many disadvantages, among which a pronounced fatigue of the elements of the compressor, to the detriment of the longevity of this organ.
• a first objective is to provide a device that is able to filter the vibrations over a wide range of frequencies, especially less than 140 Hz, while remaining compact and low weight.
• a second objective is to overcome the use of specific elements designed to create inertia to reduce vibrations.
• a device for transmitting rotational movement and vibration filtering comprising a first rotary element and a second rotary element coupled to the first rotary element, the coupling being made by primary damping elements, defining a first filter stage capable of filtering vibrations, the coupling being furthermore produced by secondary damping elements defining a second filtering stage, this coupling being arranged in such a way that the rotation of the first rotary member causes rotation of the primary damping elements, which cause rotation of the secondary damping elements, in turn causing the rotation of the second rotary member, the static stiffness of the first filter stage being less than the stiffness static filter second stage of at least ten percent.

• stiffness values thus selected are particularly advantageous: below 10%, mode coincidences may be problematic, and beyond 40% can be observed a decrease in endurance of the device. A difference of 15 to 20% is very advantageous for preserving endurance performance while obtaining the desired technical effect.
• This device significantly improves the efficiency of filtering, to the benefit of passenger comfort and longevity of mechanical parts. In addition, it eliminates the use of a flyweight to create rotational inertia.

• the device 4 transmits the movements while filtering the vibrations whose frequency is greater than about 90 Hz. For frequencies greater than about 90 Hz, their amplitude is damped to become negligible.
• Another advantage is that it is no longer necessary to add a flyweight, in order to generate inertia on the end of the compressor shaft 3 to limit vibration.
