Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motor vehicle gearbox comprising two intermediate shafts for transmission of an input torque to an output shaft, whereby a first gear wheel, rotatably mounted on each intermediate shaft and lockable by means of coupling means on respective shafts, is in engagement with a common gear wheel rotatably mounted with respect to the output shaft and lockable for rotation together with the output shaft, said gear wheel being arranged to transmit torque from one intermediate shaft to the other in the disengaged position.
- gearbox of the above mentioned type are known for example from SE 464347 and SE 467426. Both these gearbox types are so-called "power shift” gearboxes in which the torque is transmitted alternately via both the intermediate shafts to the output shaft, which means that whilst the torque is being transmitted by one of the intermediate shafts the next gear is preselected on the other intermediate shaft, whereby gear changing itself occurs in that the first intermediate shaft is disengaged and the other is engaged.
- a characteristic of these known gearboxes is that the torque in a gear stage, namely the lowest gear, is transmitted via both intermediate shafts by means of a common gear wheel. In this way an additional reduction stage is achieved compared with the torque transmission, via only one intermediate shaft at a time, which allows the possibility of higher gearing in the lowest gear than can otherwise be obtained.
- larger gear wheels can be used than with torque transmiss ⁇ ion via an intermediate shaft.
- the construction gives an extra gear stage without the gearbox needing to be complemented with additional cooperating gear wheels. The result is a very short and compact gearbox with a large number of gears.
- the object of the present invention is to achieve a compact gearbox with many gear stages and with larger span, that is to say larger separation between the lowest and highest gears than can practically be obtained with the described known gearboxes.
- At least a second gear wheel on each intermediate shaft is in engagement with at least a second common gear wheel which is driveably coupled to the first common gear wheel in order to allow torque transmission from said first gear wheel on said first-mentioned intermediate shaft to said second gear wheel on the second intermediate shaft via both the common gear wheels, and in that the second intermediate shaft is divided into two parts rotatable relative to each other, said parts being able to be coupled to each other by coupling means for rotation as a unit.
- Fig. 1 and 2 are two identical figures of a schematically represented gearbox with the torque flow depicted on the different gears.
- numerals 1 and 2 denote two concentrically mounted input shafts, 3 a first intermediate shaft, 4 a second intermediate shaft and 5 and output shaft.
- One of the input shafts l drives the first intermediate shaft 3 via a pair of gear wheels 6 and 7 respectively fixed against rotation on respective shafts.
- the second input shaft 2 drives the second intermediate shaft 4 via a pair of gear wheels 8 and 9 respectively fixed against rotation on respective shafts.
- both input shafts 1 and 2 are alternately engageable and disengageable respectively by means of friction clutches (not shown in detail) , such as shown in SE-A-464347, for alternately driving the intermediate shafts 3, 4.
- the first intermediate shaft 3 supports two freely rotat ⁇ ably mounted gear wheels 10 and 11 which are lockable to the intermediate shaft 3 by means of each one's clutch sleeve 12 and 13 respectively.
- a first, second and third gear wheel 14, 15, and 16 are freely rotatably mounted on the second intermediate shaft 4 which is divided into an input shaft portion 4a and an output shaft portion 4b which are freely rotatably mounted with respect to each other.
- a fourth gear wheel 17 is fixedly mounted on the intermediate shaft portion 4.
- the gear wheels 14 and 15 are engageable by means of a clutch sleeve 18 whilst the gear wheel 16 is engageable by means of clutch sleeve 19 which also has an engagement position in which both the shaft portions 4a and 4b are locked together to be driven as an unit.
- the shafts lie in a V-formation and the gear wheel 14 on the intermediate shaft 4 engages with gear wheel 7 on in ⁇ termediate shaft 3.
- the gear wheels 10 and 15 on shafts 3 and 4 respectively engage with a first common gear wheel 20 which is rotatably mounted on the output shaft 5 whilst the gear wheels 11 and 16 on the shafts 3 and 4 respectively engage with a second common gear wheel 21 with smaller diameter than gear wheel 20.
- the gear wheel 21 is also rotatably mounted on the output shaft 5.
- the gear wheels 20, 21 are fixed onto a common hub 22 which is lockable to the output shaft in an engagement position of the clutch sleeve 23.
- the input shaft 1 and the output shaft 5 are coupled together for rotation as a unit.
- An additional gear wheel 24 on the output shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the shaft and lockable to this by means of a clutch sleeve 25.
- the gear wheel 24 engages with the gear wheel 17 on the intermediate shaft portion 4b.
- the gear wheel 16 can be fixedly mounted on the shaft portion 4b and the gear wheel 21 can be rotatably mounted as well as being lockable to the hub 22 by clutch means.
- the clutch sleeves 12, 13, 18, 19, 23 and 25 can be included in the clutch arrangements which comprise con- ventional synchronization devices, but the described gearbox is particularly designed to make use of a central synchronization arrangement of the type which is shown and described in the introductory portion of the cited publica ⁇ tions.
- the gearbox which is shown and described has nine gears, whereby the torque is transmitted to the output shaft 5 alternately between the input shaft 1 and 2, the intermediate shaft 3 and the intermediate shaft portions 4a, 4b, via the following cooperating gear-pairs, as indicated by the arrows I-VIII in the figures:
- the invention is of course not limited to a gearbox of the above described type with two input shafts, but can be used in a gearbox with one single input shaft, for example of the type shown in SE-A-467426.
