Abstract

A power split transmission concept for two or three or four modes is provided with two variable hydrostatic units, an engine mechanically connected to the row 1 sun of a planetary gear set with at least two planetary rows, the second row of the planetary rows being connected to a row 2 sun, whereby both hydrostatic units stay connected with the same planetary element through all modes, one hydrostatic unit being connected to the sun of row 2 and the other hydrostatic unit being connected to a ring gear of planetary row 2.

Claims (22)

1. A power split transmission concept for two or three or four modes, the concept comprising:

two variable hydrostatic units;

an engine mechanically connected to a row 1 sun of a planetary gear set with at least two planetary rows

planets of row 1 , 2 and 3 mechanically connected or as one piece,

whereby both hydrostatic units stay connected with the same planetary element through all modes,

one hydrostatic unit being connected to a sun of row 2

the other hydrostatic unit being connected to a ring gear of planetary row 2 .

2. A power split transmission according to claim 1 , where a mode 1 output is from the sun of row 2 of the planetary and a mode 2 output is from a carrier of the planetary.

3. A power split transmission according to claim 2 , where a mode 3 output is from a row 3 sun.

4. A power split transmission according claim 1 , where a planetary reverser is used at a transmission output shaft for full reverse speed.

5. A power split transmission according claim 1 , whereby a planetary reverser is used at a transmission input shaft for full reverse speed.

6. A power split transmission concept for two or three or four modes, the concept comprising:

two variable hydrostatic units;

an engine mechanically connected to a row 1 sun of a planetary gear set with three planetary rows;

planets of row 1 , 2 and 3 mechanically connected or as one piece,

whereby both hydrostatic units stay connected with the same planetary element through all modes,

one hydrostatic unit being connected to a sun of row 2 ,

the other hydrostatic unit being connected to a ring gear of planetary row 2 ,

whereby a mode 1 output is from a ring gear of the planetary, a mode output 2 and a mode 4 output is from a row 3 sun and a mode 3 output is from a carrier of the planetary.

7. A power split transmission according claim 6 , whereby a mode 1 planetary output is used for reverse via idler gear.

8. A power split transmission according claim 6 , whereby a mode 2 planetary output is used for reverse via idler gear.

9. A power split transmission according claim 6 , whereby a planetary reverser is used at a transmission input shaft for full reverse speed.
