1,167,049. Planetary change-speed gears. SOC. ANON. DITE, DERRUPPE S.A. 24 April, 1967 [23 Nov., 1966], No. 18840/67. Heading F2D. A four-speed gear 1 has three planetary trains, two of which have a common input planet carrier 2, respective reaction sun gears 8, 9 holdable simultaneously or separately by brakes 20, 19, and separate output annulus gears 6, 7 which are permanently coupled by shafts 21a, 21b to two input sun gears 14,15 of the third train, which latter also includes an output planet carrier 10 and two separately holdable reaction elements, one of which is an annulus gear 16 with a brake 27, and the other the sun 14 which is coupled to a brake 25 via gears 22, 23. The gear 1 is housed in a single casing with an auxiliary gear 30 (Fig. 1) or 46 (Figs. 2, 3), all the brakes of the main and auxiliary gears being external to the gear casing. The brakes may be disc brakes or eddy current brakes. Auxiliary gear 30 gives the same speed forward and reverse, to provide with the gear 1 four forward and four reverse speeds. Auxiliary gear 46 (Fig. 2) gives two forward speeds and, with the main gear, reverse, so that the combination provides eight forward and one reverse speeds. Auxiliary gear 46 (Fig. 3) provides two forward speeds and, with the main gear, two reverse speeds plus a supplementary low forward speed, so that the combination provides eight plus one forward speeds and two reverse speeds. Brakes 25, 27 of the third train of gear 1 may be applied in unison to act as a transmission brake. Main gear 1, Fig. 1, has brakes 20, 27 held for first gear, the drive being via planets 3 of carrier 2, annulus 6, sun 14, and planets 11 of carrier 10. For second gear, brakes 19, 27 are held, for drive via planets 4 of carrier 2, annulus 7, sun 15, and planets 12 of carrier 10. For compound third gear, brakes 19, 20 are held, and for fourth gear, brakes 19, 25 are held, so that drive is via planets 4, annulus 7, sun 15, and planets 12, with sun 14 forming the reaction element of the third train. Forward/reverse gear 30, Fig. 1, has an input shaft 41 carrying two sun gears 39, 40, and an output planet carrier 31 on which is an external gear 34 meshing a gear 35 on the planet carrier 2 of the main gear 1. For forward gear, brake 38 is held, the drive being via the sun 40, pinions 36 on a stationary carrier 32 held by the brake 38, and an annulus gear 46 integral with carrier 31. For reverse, a brake 45 holds an annulus gear 43, and the drive is via the sun 39 and planets 33 of the carrier 31. Auxiliary gear 46, Fig. 2, has an input sun gear 56 meshing stepped planets 48, 49 in an output carrier 47 carrying the transfer gear 34. A brake 55 holds an annulus gear 51 for low gear and a brake 54 holds an annulus gear 50 for high gear. For reverse, the brake 55 is held, and a dog clutch 59 engaged to clutch the annulus 50 to a gear 60 meshing a gear 61 formed on the carrier 10 of the main gear 1. The drive is then via sun gear 56, planets 48, 49, annulus gear 50, gears 60, 61, and carrier 10. Auxiliary gear 46, Fig. 3, is the same as that of Fig. 2 except that the dog clutch 59 connects the annulus gear 50 to a gear 62 meshing a gear 63 rigid with the annulus gear 16 of the main gear 1. Thus brakes 55, 54 respectively are engaged for two forward speeds of the auxiliary gear. For a supplementary compound forward speed, brakes 55, 19 are held, and dog clutch 59 engaged, the annulus 16 then being driven via planets 48, annulus 50, clutch 59, and gears 62, 63, and the sun 15 via carrier 47, gears 34, 35, planets 4, and annulus 7. For first compound reverse speed, brakes 55, 25 are held and clutch 59 engaged. For second compound reverse speed, brakes 55, 20 are held and clutch 59 engaged. Modifications to Fig. 3.-A pinion on the shaft 52 of annulus 50 meshes the pinion 22 on shaft 21a. To obtain two supplementary speeds, brakes 55, 27 or 55, 19 are held. In an alternative modification, the planet carrier 2 may be selectively connected to the carrier 47 or the annulus 50, so that four supplementary speeds can be obtained by holding the brake 55, connecting the annulus 50 to the carrier 2, and selecting any of the four main gear ratios as detailed above. |
