SPLIT-TORQUE POWER TRANSMISSION

摘要

This invention concerns with transmissions specially those are used in the vehicles. A generic conception of performing three main functions that are splitting, controlling and combining of power is presented and representing a new transmission generation with various applications and classes. This conception is commonly established by configuring planetary gear sets (11) and (15) used for power splitting and combining with controller(s). Controller(s) are or usually include invented coupling(s) (18) that are vane pumps with floating casings. Modifications of other transmission generations are achieved where the whole transmission unit or its main constitution is placed in one of the power paths or utilized to perform controlled power splitting or combining function.
