Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for transmitting power output from a driving force source of a vehicle, and in particular, includes a transmission path including a continuously variable transmission and another transmission path provided in parallel to the transmission path.
- the present invention relates to a power transmission device provided.
- An internal combustion engine generally used as a driving force source of a vehicle has a characteristic that an output torque increases with an increase in the rotational speed.
- the driving force required for a vehicle is generally large at a low vehicle speed and relatively small at a high vehicle speed. That is, in the vehicle, a torque opposite to the torque based on the output characteristics of the internal combustion engine is required.
- the efficient operating points of the internal combustion engine are limited. Therefore, a vehicle that uses an internal combustion engine as a driving force source is equipped with a transmission that can change the gear ratio as appropriate. The transmission then sets the gear ratio appropriately based on the vehicle running state such as the vehicle speed and the accelerator opening, obtains the required driving force, and operates the internal combustion engine at an efficient operating point.
- the internal combustion engine is always operated at an efficient operating point.
- the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine at an efficient operating point is a rotational speed that can be set by the gear ratio between the two shift speeds, the period from when one shift speed is switched to the other shift speed. In the operating state, the efficiency is lowered. Therefore, recently, a continuously variable transmission capable of continuously changing a gear ratio has been used instead of a stepped transmission.
- the former belt-type continuously variable transmission has a power transmission belt and a pair of pulleys whose belt winding radius changes in size as the width of a groove around which the belt is wound is changed. Yes.
- the gear ratio set between the pair of pulleys is changed steplessly by changing the groove width of each pulley to change the winding radius of the belt.
- the power roller is sandwiched between a pair of disks arranged opposite to each other, and the line connecting the contact points of the power roller with each disk is the axis of rotation center of the disk. Is different from each other in the number of rotations. Then, the larger the tilt angle (tilt angle) of the power roller, the greater the difference in rotational speed between the disks, that is, the gear ratio becomes farther away from “1”.
- the torque is transmitted using the frictional force between the pulley and the belt or the frictional force between the disk and the power roller. . Since the frictional force is the product of the friction coefficient at the contact point of the two members and the vertical load (or load in the normal direction), the vertical load is increased according to the torque to be transmitted.
- the vertical load is a load with which the pulley pinches the belt. The load is generated by, for example, a hydraulic actuator integrally formed on the pulley and supplied to the hydraulic actuator.
- a vehicle requires a large driving force when starting.
- the driving force required at the time of a steady driving state, that is, cruising is smaller than that at the time of starting. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the vertical load for generating the frictional force when starting. That is, in the belt type continuously variable transmission, the hydraulic pressure for generating the clamping pressure is increased at the time of start. If a hydraulic device that generates a large hydraulic pressure is provided in preparation for a start in a relatively short period of time as a driving state of the vehicle, the drive device and the hydraulic device for the same increase in size and generate a high hydraulic pressure. There is a possibility that fuel consumption will deteriorate.

- a second idle gear meshing with the first idle gear is attached to the second idler shaft.
- a third idle gear that meshes with the reverse driven gear is attached to the second idler shaft.
- the output drive gear meshes with the output driven gear provided rotatably on the output shaft.
- a one-way clutch and a third clutch arranged in parallel with each other are provided between the output drive gear and the output shaft.
- a driven secondary pulley in the belt type continuously variable transmission is attached to the output shaft, and a driving primary pulley connected to the secondary pulley by a belt is arranged on the same axis as the input shaft. ing.
- the input shaft and the primary pulley are connected by the second clutch.
- a single pinion type planetary gear mechanism is provided between an input shaft for transmitting power output from an engine and a primary pulley in a belt type continuously variable transmission.
- a forward / reverse switching mechanism is provided.
- the ring gear and the primary pulley in the forward / reverse switching mechanism are connected to rotate integrally, and the input shaft is connected to the sun gear. Accordingly, the sun gear and the ring gear are connected by a clutch to move forward, and the carrier is fixed by a brake to move backward.
- a gear train having a gear ratio larger than the maximum gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission is provided between the input shaft and the output shaft integrated with the secondary pulley.

- An output gear connected to the input shaft via an idle gear is rotatably fitted to the output shaft.
- a one-way clutch and a friction clutch are arranged in series between the output gear and the output shaft.
- the clutch for connecting the input shaft to the primary pulley is released, and the clutch on the output shaft side is engaged, so that the gear train and the one-way clutch from the input shaft and Torque is transmitted to the output shaft through a clutch arranged in series with this.
- the maximum transmission ratio of the continuously variable transmission is somewhat smaller than the transmission ratio of the gear train, so the secondary pulley and the output shaft integrated with the secondary pulley have a higher rotational speed than before.
- the one-way clutch is released at a higher rotational speed than the output gear. That is, torque is transmitted to the output shaft through the continuously variable transmission.
- the gear train transmits torque at the time of starting, a large torque at the time of starting is not applied to the continuously variable transmission.
- the power output from the engine is transmitted to the sun gear of the single pinion type planetary gear mechanism constituting the forward / reverse switching mechanism.
- a clutch is provided for connecting the sun gear to an input shaft integrated with a primary pulley of the belt type continuously variable transmission.
- An input gear is fitted on the outer peripheral side of the input shaft via a one-way clutch, and this input gear is connected to a ring gear in the forward / reverse switching mechanism.
- the one-way clutch is configured to be engaged when the input shaft rotates at a higher speed than the input gear on the outer peripheral side in the forward rotation direction.
- An output gear is fitted on the outer peripheral side of the output shaft integral with the secondary pulley via another one-way clutch.
- An idle gear is arranged between the input gear and the input gear and the output gear mesh with the idle gear. That is, both the input gear and the output gear are configured to rotate in the same direction.
- the gear ratio (transmission ratio) between these input gears and output gears is set to a transmission ratio that is slightly smaller than the largest transmission ratio that can be set with a continuously variable transmission comprising the above pulleys and the belt wound around them.
- the other one-way clutch is configured to engage when the output shaft rotates at a higher speed than the output gear in the forward rotation direction.
- a friction clutch is provided in parallel with the other one-way clutch. Further, a brake for fixing the carrier in the forward / reverse switching mechanism is provided to set the reverse state.
- the continuously variable transmission is not subjected to a large torque at the start. If the gear ratio of the step transmission is gradually reduced as the vehicle speed increases after starting, the rotational speed of the output shaft integrated with the secondary pulley reaches the rotational speed of the output gear provided on the outer peripheral side, and the speed ratio The rotational speed further increases due to the decrease. As a result, the one-way clutch on the output shaft side is engaged, and torque is transmitted to the drive wheels via the continuously variable transmission. In this case, since the one-way clutch on the input shaft side is in the released state, the interlock state does not occur.
- a gear train is provided in parallel with the belt-type continuously variable transmission, and is configured to transmit torque for starting mainly through the gear train when starting.
- the apparatus described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-130458 is configured to transmit the torque input to the gear train by switching to a gear pair for starting and a gear pair for reverse traveling by a dog clutch.
- the device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-130458 requires a total of four engagement mechanisms: the first clutch, the second clutch, the dog clutch, and the one-way clutch described above. It is also necessary to provide a third clutch in parallel with the one-way clutch. Therefore, the device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-130458 can transmit torque for starting and torque for reverse travel without using a belt-type continuously variable transmission.
- the number of engagement mechanisms for establishing such a torque transmission path increases, and accordingly, the configuration of the entire apparatus becomes complicated and may increase in size.
- the device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-130458 is configured to switch between a torque transmission path for starting in the forward direction and a torque transmission path for reverse traveling by a dog clutch. Therefore, there is a possibility that a delay occurs in the so-called garage shift. That is, since the dog clutch is switched in a state where no torque is applied, in the case of a garage shift, the device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-130458 releases the first clutch described above and It is necessary to cut off torque transmission. In this state, the dog clutch is switched, and then the first clutch is engaged. As a result, it waits for the torque applied to the dog clutch to be released, and after confirming that the dog clutch has been switched, the first clutch is engaged. Therefore, in the device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-130458, it takes time for the dog clutch switching operation and the first clutch engaging operation during the garage shift, and inevitable dead time occurs. The shift responsiveness of the garage shift may be deteriorated.
- the forward / reverse switching mechanism when traveling backward, the forward / reverse switching mechanism is set to the reverse state.
- the torque transmitted through the forward / reverse switching mechanism is transmitted to the belt-type continuously variable transmission, and the torque is transmitted from the belt-type continuously variable transmission to the drive wheels. Therefore, in the device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-76876, the speed ratio at the reverse speed is limited to a speed ratio that can be set by the continuously variable transmission.
- the device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-308041 is a device configured to avoid or suppress the large torque acting on the belt type continuously variable transmission when starting in the forward direction. Therefore, the gear ratio of the gear train that transmits torque at the time of starting is smaller than the maximum gear ratio that can be set by the continuously variable transmission, so that the gear ratio width as a whole of the device cannot be expanded.

Is configured to do. Therefore, by sharing so-called components, the overall configuration of the apparatus can be simplified and the size can be reduced.
- the gear ratio by the first gear train can be set larger than the maximum gear ratio by the continuously variable transmission or smaller than the minimum gear ratio. Therefore, the width of the gear ratio as a whole of the power transmission device can be widened.
- each clutch mechanism is constituted by one clutch, whereby the overall configuration of the apparatus can be further reduced. Then, by configuring these clutch mechanisms with friction clutches, it is possible to improve control responsiveness in shift control. That is, when switching from a state where torque is transmitted via the first gear train to a state where torque is transmitted via the continuously variable transmission and a state where torque is transmitted via the second gear train, It is possible to perform so-called clutch-to-clutch shifts in which each friction clutch is transiently controlled to be in a slipping state and a clutch mechanism responsible for torque transmission is gradually replaced. Therefore, it is possible to improve control responsiveness in shift control such as garage shift, and to reduce shock during shift.

Therefore, by sharing so-called components in the counter gear pair and the gear train that constitute the continuously variable transmission path and the reverse path, the configuration of the entire power transmission device can be further simplified and miniaturized.
- each clutch mechanism or dog clutch at the input side, that is, a position where torque is transmitted from the input shaft, the torque acting on each clutch mechanism or dog clutch is not increased by the deceleration action. Therefore, each clutch mechanism and dog clutch can be made small with a small capacity.

Therefore, the sleeve 26 is positioned at the center of the movable range so as to be fitted only to the hub 24 in the intermediate shaft 20, and the state where the sleeve 26 is detached from the hub 30 and the hub 25 on both sides can be set to the neutral state.
- the torque transmission path from the input shaft 9 to the hub 30 via the continuously variable transmission 1 corresponds to the continuously variable transmission path in the present invention.
- the sleeve 26 corresponds to the “movable member” in the present invention
- the hub 24 corresponds to the “member for inputting” or the “member for outputting” in the present invention.
- the hub 25 corresponds to “a member constituting a part of the reverse path” in the present invention
- the hub 30 corresponds to “a member constituting a part of the continuously variable transmission path” in the present invention. ing. Therefore, in the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the dog clutch 23 is provided at a position where torque is transmitted from the continuously variable transmission path and the reverse path toward the output shaft 15.
- the reverse drive gear 11 and the counter driven gear 14 in the above-mentioned continuously variable transmission path may be set to a gear ratio that does not cause an acceleration / deceleration action, or a gear ratio that causes an acceleration action or a deceleration action. May be.
- the gear ratio between the drive gear 10 and the driven gear 19 serving as a starting transmission mechanism is such that the reverse drive gear 11 and the counter driven gear 14 And a gear ratio larger than the gear ratio obtained from the maximum gear ratio in the continuously variable transmission 1 is set.
- the power transmission device passes through the starting transmission mechanism or the reverse transmission mechanism provided in parallel to the continuously variable transmission 1 when starting in the forward direction and when traveling backward.
- the torque is transmitted to the output shaft 15.
- control is performed so that torque is transmitted from the input shaft 9 to the output shaft 15 via the torque transmission path provided with the continuously variable transmission 1.
- a drive position (drive range) is selected by a shift device (not shown)
- the first clutch mechanism C1 is engaged and the second clutch mechanism C2 is released.
- the dog clutch 23 is operated to set the reverse gear. That is, the sleeve 26 is moved to the right side in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the reverse driven gear 22 is connected to the intermediate shaft 20.
- FIG. 3 shows a state in which drive torque is transmitted via the continuously variable transmission 1 and a state during reverse travel.
- the torque output from the engine 2 is changed to the input shaft 9 and the first clutch mechanism C1. Is transmitted to the drive gear 10, the reverse drive gear 11, and the primary pulley 12 of the continuously variable transmission 1. In this case, the torque of the reverse drive gear 11 is transmitted to the intermediate shaft 20 via the idle gear 21, the reverse driven gear 22, and the dog clutch 23. However, torque is not transmitted from the intermediate shaft 20 to the output shaft 15 because the second clutch mechanism C2 is released. Further, torque is transmitted from the primary pulley 12 of the continuously variable transmission 1 to the secondary pulley 27 via the belt 28.
- the dog clutch 23 is in a state of setting the reverse speed, and the continuously variable transmission 1 is disconnected from the intermediate shaft 20. Therefore, torque is not transmitted from the continuously variable transmission 1 to the intermediate shaft 20 or the output shaft 15. Eventually, the torque output to the input shaft 9 is transmitted from the drive gear 10 to the output shaft 15 via the driven gear 19 meshed therewith. Torque is output from the output shaft 15 to the differential 16 via the output gear 18.
- the gear ratio at the time of starting in the forward direction is a gear ratio according to the gear ratio that is the ratio of the number of teeth of the drive gear 10 that is the transmission mechanism for driving and the driven gear 19.
- This gear ratio is a gear ratio larger than the maximum gear ratio that can be set by the continuously variable transmission 1. Therefore, according to the power transmission device according to the present invention, the driving force at the start can be sufficiently increased. Since the driving force does not pass through the continuously variable transmission 1, it is not necessary to increase the transmission torque capacity of the continuously variable transmission 1. Specifically, it is not necessary to particularly increase the clamping pressure for clamping the belt 28. Therefore, it is possible to suppress or prevent an increase in power loss or a decrease in durability.
- the drive torque output to the input shaft 9 is transmitted to the output shaft 15 via the continuously variable transmission 1 instead of the transmission mechanism for starting. Is done.
- the path through which the drive torque is transmitted is switched as follows. First, the sleeve 26 of the dog clutch 23 is moved to the left side of FIGS. 1 and 2, that is, the position “F” for setting the forward movement state. That is, the connection between the reverse driven gear 22 and the intermediate shaft 20 is released, and the secondary shaft 29 of the continuously variable transmission 1 is connected to the intermediate shaft 20. In that case, since the second clutch mechanism C2 is in the released state and the intermediate shaft 20 is disconnected from the output shaft 15, the dog clutch 23 is not particularly torqued.
- the sleeve 26 can move in the axial direction and can be removed from the hub 25 of the reverse driven gear 22 without any particular trouble.
- torque is transmitted from the engine 2 to the continuously variable transmission 1 and the secondary pulley 27 is rotating.
- the intermediate shaft 20 is in a state where it can freely rotate as described above and no torque is applied, the sleeve 26 moves toward the secondary shaft 29 and is easily splined to the hub 30.
- the state of engagement / release of the first clutch mechanism C1, the second clutch mechanism C2, and the dog clutch 23 when starting in the forward direction described above, and the first clutch mechanism C1 and the second clutch when traveling backward The state of engagement / release of the mechanism C2 and the dog clutch 23 is compared.
- the dog clutch 23 can be operated to the position “R” where the reverse gear is set. Therefore, in the case of starting in the forward direction and the case of traveling backward, only the engagement and release states of the first clutch mechanism C1 and the second clutch mechanism C2 are opposite to each other.
- the clutch-to-clutch control for alternately engaging and releasing the first clutch mechanism C1 and the second clutch mechanism C2 in a so-called garage shift that repeats forward and reverse travels. Can be executed. That is, the shift control can be completed without switching the engagement state of the dog clutch 23. Therefore, a quick shift is possible, and so-called shift delay or deterioration of control responsiveness can be prevented or suppressed.

- the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is configured such that torque is transmitted from the first clutch mechanism C1 to the output shaft 15 via the drive gear 10 and the driven gear 19 which are transmission mechanisms for starting. Therefore, the torque before being amplified by the deceleration action is applied to the first clutch mechanism C1. That is, the transmission torque capacity required for the first clutch mechanism C1 can be small. Therefore, the first clutch mechanism C1 can be downsized and the durability of the first clutch mechanism C1 can be improved. Further, the second clutch mechanism C2 is disposed coaxially with the output shaft 15.
- the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission 1 is the maximum speed ratio, and the second clutch mechanism
- the difference between the rotational speed on the input side and the rotational speed on the output side in C2 is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the slip of the second clutch mechanism C2 and improve its durability.
- the garage shift That is, the gear ratio at the start and the gear ratio at the reverse speed are not greatly different. Therefore, even if the engagement and disengagement of the second clutch mechanism C2 are repeated during the garage shift, there is little transient slip in the second clutch mechanism C2, and the durability of the second clutch mechanism C2 can be improved. .
- the transmission gear ratio of the starting transmission mechanism and the transmission gear ratio of the reverse transmission mechanism and the maximum transmission ratio of the continuously variable transmission 1 are not greatly different.
- the dog clutch 23 is disposed on the same axis as the output shaft 15, and the engaged and released states are switched while the second clutch mechanism C2 is released. Therefore, the engaged and disengaged states of the dog clutch 23 are switched in a state where the difference in the rotational speed between the driving side and the driven side is small and the acting torque is small. Therefore, in the dog clutch 23, the rotational speed on the driving side and the rotational speed on the driven side can be easily matched by moving the sleeve 26 in the engaging direction. In other words, the synchronization performance of the dog clutch 23 is improved.
- the dog clutch 23 can be configured without using a synchronization mechanism such as a synchronizer, and the cost of the apparatus can be reduced.
- the dog clutch 23 is configured to set the reverse gear by moving the sleeve 26 in the axial direction or to transmit the drive torque via the continuously variable transmission 1.

Therefore, according to the power transmission device according to the present invention, the number of necessary parts can be reduced, and the overall configuration can be simplified and downsized.

In such a configuration, when the engine 2 is driven with a low load, the engine speed can be made lower than that during torque transmission by the continuously variable transmission 1. Therefore, fuel consumption can be further improved.
- the first gear train may be configured to selectively set a plurality of gear ratios.
