Abstract:
A multi-clutch transmission for a motor vehicle with a prime mover has a main transmission, a range section and an output shaft, the main transmission including one input shaft, a main shaft and a main countershaft, the main shaft being rotationally fixed with a range input shaft of the range section, the range section including a range main shaft that is rotationally fixed with the output shaft, a range countershaft, range gearwheels that can selectively transfer power from the range input member to the range countershaft and on to the range main shaft, and range clutches, the multi-clutch transmission including a by-passing torque path in which power can be transferred when the range section is shifted, and where the by-passing torque path includes a by-passing clutch that selectively can rotationally lock the main countershaft to the range countershaft.
Abstract:
A gear box for a working machine is arranged to be positioned in a first set of speed-changing gears and a second set of speed-changing gears. The gear box includes a gear box housing, an input shaft configured to receive torque, and an output shaft for supplying torque out, from the gear box, wherein the output shaft is connected to a planetary gear set of the gear box, a friction disc clutch arrangement which is arranged between a ring gear of the planetary gear set and the gear box housing for enabling connection of the ring gear to the gear box housing, and a control unit configured to controllably alternate the friction disc clutch arrangement between: an engaged state and an at least partially engaged state when the gear box is positioned in the first set of speed-changing gears, and between a disengaged state and an at least partially engaged state when the gear box is positioned in the second set of speed-changing gears. A corresponding method for controlling a gear box is also provided.
Abstract:
A power split continuously variable transmission is provided including a variator unit having a first and a second variable displacement hydrostatic machine and a planetary gear unit. The power split continuously variable transmission is arranged to be controlled to perform a simultaneous reduction of displacements of the first and second variable displacement hydrostatic machines during at least a part of a lock up state of the power split continuously variable transmission. A method of operating such a transmission is also provided.
