1467458 Change-speed control ZAHNRADFABRIK FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AG 4 Dec 1974 [5 Dec 1973] 52424/74 Heading F2D In a transmission for vehicles providing a plurality of forward ratios and reverse, with hydraulically operated ratio - establishing clutches and brakes, a ratio-selector valve, and valves for controlling the rate of pressure buildup in selected clutches and brakes, the pressure build-up in one of the clutches, which is engaged for more than one ratio, is controlled by a valve having means to vary the rate of pressure buildup in accordance with the selected ratio. In a transmission and control means therefor similar to the disclosure in Specification 1,274,490, three forward ratios and reverse are established by selective engagement of various combinations of clutches K1, K2 and brakes B1, B1F, B2, the clutch K2 being engaged for both the high forward ratio and reverse. For high forward ratio pressure fluid is directed by a system of valves (not shown) including the selector valve, shift valves, &c., to the brake B1F and clutches K1, K2, and the rate of pressure build-up in K2 is controlled by the valve 110. Pressure fluid arriving in a conduit 215 passes through a pipe 126 to the clutch, but the flow is restricted by rightward movement of the valve member 111 as pressure fluid passes through a restriction 126a. The valve member is ultimately returned to its leftmost position as pressure builds-up in a chamber 124, to which it has access through a one-way throttle 125A, to move a piston 121 against a spring 122. When reverse ratio is selected pressure fluid is directed to conduits 118 and 215, the pressure 118 being transmitted through valves 212a, 130 to the brake B2 and through a passage 243 to the left-hand side of a piston 140 whereby that piston is ineffective to delay pressure build-up, and B2 is engaged without delay. The pressure in 118 has access also to a chamber 117 of the valve 110 where its effect is to increase the rate of pressure build-up in the clutch K2. |
