DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The gearbox 1 of the invention, is more particularly intended to be mounted on a self-propelled machine 20, such as a lawnmower, a snow plow, a golf cart or others, and to extend between a motor member, such as the drive shaft of the machine, generally cutting blade holder of the machine, when the machine 20 is for example a lawn mower, and a drive shaft of the machine , such as the drive shaft of the wheels.

Thus, such a machine 20 is equipped with a motor whose motor output shaft is, for example, equipped with a driving pulley connected via a belt to a driven pulley, this driven pulley being itself even mounted on a motor input shaft intended to be housed at least partially in the transmission housing 1, object of the invention, housing a friction clutch 2 to cones.

In the example shown, this motor input shaft is an endless screw 10 which rotates a toothed wheel 6 threaded onto a carrier shaft 3 of said clutch 2 friction. This carrier shaft 3, housed at least partially within the housing, may constitute the drive output shaft of the wheel or wheels of the machine.

The toothed wheel 6 coaxial with the shaft 3 is securable to the shaft 3 via the clutch 2 friction in the engaged position of the latter. This friction clutch 2 comprises one or more male cone / female cone bearing assemblies. Each assembly comprises a female conical bearing surface secured in rotation with the wheel 6 and a conical male surface cone mounted to rotate with the shaft 3 carrying the clutch 2.

The conical bearing surface and the associated male cone of each assembly are capable, under the action of a control device 4 housed at least partially inside the casing, to move from a disengaged position in which they are spaced apart. one of the other, to an engaged position in which they are brought together in bearing contact one against the other.

In the example shown in Figures 1 to 7 and 9, the friction clutch 2 comprises a first and a second male cone / female cone bearing. The first assembly comprises a male cone 71 conical friction surface mounted to rotate with the shaft 3 carrying the clutch 2, and a bearing surface 51 conical female driving.

The conical friction surface of the cone 71 male is adapted to come into bearing contact with the female conical bearing surface 51, in the engaged position of said first set.

Similarly, the second assembly comprises a male cone 72 conical friction surface mounted to rotate with the shaft 3 carrying the clutch 2, and a bearing surface 52 conical female driving. The conical friction surface of the cone 72 male is adapted to come into bearing contact with the female conical bearing surface 52, in the engaged position of said second clutch. The female conical bearing surfaces 51, 52 may be made in one piece with the wheel 6, and forming at least a part of the axial bore of the gear wheel, said male cones being arranged coaxial with this bore of the wheel 6. In the example shown, each female conical seat 51, 52 is formed by the inner surface of a ring called female cone 13. This female cone 13 is housed integrally in rotation inside an axial bore of the wheel 6 threaded onto the shaft 3 and driven in rotation by the endless screw 10.

The toothed wheel 6 is internally provided with an annular partition 14 separating the axial bore of the toothed wheel 6 in two compartments each housing a female cone 13. One of the female cones 13 is adapted to cooperate by frictional contact with the cone 71 male, the other female cone being adapted to cooperate by frictional contact with the cone 72 male.

In the example shown, each female cone is made integral in rotation with the toothed wheel 6 by means of integrally formed notches formed in the housing of the bore of the toothed wheel. For this purpose, the parts of the annular partition 14 intended to come opposite the insertion face of a female cone are castellated. These notches cooperate with corresponding notches arranged on the insertion face of the female cone in the toothed wheel. This introduction face is, in a similar manner, a crenellated face. This results in a simplified assembly of the assembly.

Indeed, each female cone is, for its mounting, simply housed interlocking by cooperation of complementary geometric shapes in the housing of the bore of the toothed wheel. The toothed wheel is thus equipped with two female cones 13 disposed on either side of the annular partition 14 of the toothed wheel. In this position, each female cone 13 protrudes at least partially outside the bore of the toothed wheel 6. As recalled above, the tapered surface or friction surface of each female cone is intended to cooperate with the friction surface of the corresponding male cone.

The cones 71, 72 males are in turn hollowed centrally to be threaded onto the shaft 3. Each male cone 71, 72 comprises, connecting a large base 71 1 and a small base, a conical friction surface continuous or having cone portions giving it a conical general shape of revolution.

Indeed, in the example shown, the cones 71, 72 males have on their friction surface three so-called release portions extending back from the imaginary conical surface of revolution passing through said cone portions, each release portion s extending over an angular sector of the cone greater than 20 °. The clearance portions are distributed circumferentially. By virtue of such a design of each cone, the phenomenon of bonding between the male cones and the female cone bearings is no longer observed during the disengagement, which makes the operation of said clutch more reliable.

The cooperation of the male cones 71, 72 with the female conical bearing surfaces 51, 52 is carried out using a control device 4. This control device of the cone clutch mechanism is formed of a member 41 movable angularly about an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of the shaft 3, to ensure the tightening or loosening of the cones 71, 72 males and corresponding female tapered landmarks 51,52. This control member 41 is formed of at least one spacer called fork, whose angular displacement is controlled by means of a lever, at least partially outside the housing, not shown clutch, returned to the disengaged position by a spring.

The male cones 71, 72 which face each other by their small base are mounted integral in rotation with the shaft 3. To enable rotation of each of the male cones with the shaft 3, the shaft 3 comprises, by male cone, one or more radial projections and each male cone, one or more notches arranged at the peripheral delimiting edge of the cone. recess of each male cone, the radial projections or projections of the shaft being adapted to fit each into a notch of the male cone.

Thus, in the case of a transmission case with two sets, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 7, wherein the male cone 71 of the first set is called fixed male cone and the male cone 72 of the second set is called mobile male cone , the shaft 3 comprises first radial projections 81 made in one piece with said shaft and able to fit each into a notch 1 1 of the cone 71 fixed male and second radial projections 82 each fit into each other. a notch 12 of the cone 72 movable male.

In the example shown, the fixed male cone 71 comprises, at its recess, two notches 1 1 blind along the axis of the recess. These two blind slots open into the large base 71 1 of the male cone. Thus, in the positioned state of the cone 71 male on the shaft, the first two diametrically opposed radial projections 81 are housed in the notches 1 1 blind of the male cone 71, so that an axial displacement of the male cone 71 sets the along the shaft 3 in the direction of an output of the gap formed by the first and second radial projections crossing said radial projections, is prevented.

This cone 71 fixed male further comprises, at its recess, two notches 12 through the axis of the recess, that is to say the axis around which the recess is organized. These two through slots thus open into the large base 71 1 and the small base of the cone 71 fixed male. These notches 12 through are also diametrically opposed, and therefore angularly offset from the notches 1 1 blind, to form around the recess alternating blind and through notches. These through notches 12 allow, in a relative angular position of the shaft 3 and cone 71 fixed male, that is to say in the position in which the first radial projections 81 are opposite the notches 12 crossing, the crossing first radial projections 81 through the cone 71 fixed male, to allow entry or exit of the cone 71 fixed male in the interval formed by the first and second radial projections 81, 82.

Once the first radial projections 81 have been crossed, the cone 71 fixed male and the shaft 3 are offset angularly by relative rotation to a position in which the notches 1 1 blinds of the cone 71 male fixed are opposite the first projections 81 radial , so that an axial displacement of the male cone 71 fixed along the shaft 3 in the direction of an output of the gap formed by the first and second radial projections, crossing said first radial projections 81, is prevented .

The notches 1 1 blind and 12 through are therefore able to allow the cone 71 fixed male, by relative rotation of the cone 71 fixed male and the shaft 3, to pass a mounting configuration / disassembly in which the notches 12 through cooperate with the first or second radial projections of the shaft for sliding movement of the male cone 71 fixed in the direction of an inlet or an outlet of the permanent gap formed by the first and second projections 81 , 82 radials of the shaft 3 to a configuration of use in which the notches 1 1 blinds of the cone 71 fixed male and the first radial projections 81 of the shaft 3 cooperate with each other for axial immobilization in one direction said cone 71 male fixed on the shaft 3. The cone 71 male is called fixed because, in the configuration of use of the clutch, it is immobilized axially in a direction on the shaft 3.

In the examples shown, each radial projection constituting the first or second radial projections 81 82 is formed by a radial point projection, such as a lug or notch of said shaft. Each time, in the examples shown, each radial projection is formed by at least one pinching of the constituent material of said shaft 3, this pinching being obtainable by two facing parts that press, by pinching, the constituent material of said shaft. Thus, the first radial projections 81 comprise two radial projections or lugs formed diametrically opposite on the shaft. These radial projections are distributed over the circumference of the shaft. It could have been provided a single radial projection, but this solution is not preferred.

Thus, the first radial projections form at the same time a limit stop in axial displacement in a direction of the male cone 71 fixed along the shaft 3 and a rotational fastening member of the male cone 71 fixed with the shaft 3.

In the examples represented in FIGS. 1 to 7, the fixed male cones 71 and mobile cones 72 are identical. The male cone 72 thus also comprises two notches 1 1 blind and two notches 12 through. This male cone 72 is mounted to rotate with the shaft via the second radial projections 82 of the shaft adapted to be housed in the through notches of the cone 72 male for integral mounting in rotation and free sliding of the cone 72 male on the shaft 3. The second radial projections are made similarly to the first radial projections.

Alternatively, it could have been provided a single cone male / female cone bearing as shown in Figure 10, but this solution is not preferred.

In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the transmission housing also comprises first and second means 91, 92 for stopping on said shaft 3, on either side of the male cones 71, 72, to constitute axial stops defining a fixed maximum length interval, and the first stop means 91 is made in one piece with the or at least one of the radial projections 81 for securing the fixed cone 71 to the shaft 3 in rotation. The second stop means 92 is also made in one piece with said shaft 3.

The first stop means 91 is thus made in one piece with the first radial projections 81 of the shaft and the second stop means 92 forms with the first radial projections, an interval containing the second radial projections 82. This second stop means 92 is made in a manner similar to the first or second radial projections.

This second stop means 92 is thus made in one piece with the shaft, and is in the form of two diametrically opposite radial projections formed on the shaft.

This second stop means 92 serves as a support surface for the inner ring of one of the rolling members described above. Indeed, the inner ring of one of the rolling members bears on the cone 72 movable male and the inner ring of the other rolling member bears on the second means 92 stop.

The operation of the friction clutch 2 is similar to that of the state of the art and is as follows: during an angular displacement of the control member 41 in the direction of a thrust towards the cones 71, 72 male friction cones 71, 72 male and 13 female cones move relatively, so that the friction surface of each male cone 71, 72 comes into contact with the bearing surface 51, 52 conical female corresponding of a female cone. The permanent rotational movement of the toothed wheel 6 driven by the endless screw 10 is then transmitted via the female cone / male cone connection to the driven shaft 3 which causes a driving of the feed wheels of the self-propelled crane.

The advantage of the design as described above is its simplicity, with a reduced number of parts and a risk of losing or forgetting parts, compared to solutions, especially with pins.

Figure 10 illustrates a transmission housing with a single cone male / female cone bearing assembly. Figure 9 illustrates the case of a transmission housing without stop means as described above. In this embodiment, the shaft 3 has only first and second radial projections as described above, and a sleeve threaded on the shaft is disposed between the first radial projection and a housing wall, the face end of this sleeve bearing against the first radial projection 81, to prevent axial displacement of the shaft in one direction.
