    摘要: A power conversion device in the form of a compressor drive constitutes a three channel power sharing transmission which allows power input and/or output from shafts on two of the channels along with hydraulic, electric or potentially pneumatic power input and/or output from the third channel. Varying the input and/or output of hydraulic, electric or pneumatic flow provides a continuously variable transmission function. Several embodiments of the power conversion device are described to drive a supercharger for an internal combustion engine providing a variable ratio coupling allowing effective use of a centrifugal type compressor across a broad range of operational engine speeds.

    摘要: A transmission arrangement for a travel drive, in particular a mobile machine, includes a first hydraulic machine configured to be coupled to a drive machine, and a second hydraulic machine having an adjustable second expulsion volume, the second hydraulic machine configured to be connected fluidically to the first hydraulic machine via a first working line and a second working line of the transmission arrangement. The second hydraulic machine configured to be coupled or is coupled to a manual transmission of the transmission arrangement. The manual transmission has at least two transmission stages, and coupling of the second hydraulic machine to the manual transmission has the result that a torque can be transmitted. The transmission arrangement further includes a control apparatus configured to reduce to zero or to nearly zero the second expulsion volume at least during a changeover from one transmission stage to another transmission stage of the manual transmission.

    摘要: A hydrostatic transmission for a traction drive includes a first hydraulic machine that is coupled to a drive machine and that has an adjustable displacement volume and a second hydraulic machine that is fluidically connected to the first hydraulic machine and that is coupled to a drive output of the traction drive. At the first hydraulic machine, a control pressure acts in the direction of an enlargement of its displacement volume and a working pressure of the second hydraulic machine acts in the opposite direction. The hydrostatic transmission further includes a control device that varies the control pressure to influence a torque of the second hydraulic machine. The control device stores a characteristic map by which a setpoint control pressure is determined as a function of a setpoint torque and a displacement volume of the second hydraulic machine so as to regulate the torque of the second hydraulic machine.

    摘要: A method of propelling a vehicle with a hybrid mode and a hydrostatic mode includes determining if a current propulsion mode is hybrid and if a selected mode is hydrostatic. A first transition mode is entered if the selected mode is hydrostatic and the current mode is hybrid. An engine-pump displacement target is set in the first transition mode. The method may include determining if the current mode is hybrid, hydrostatic, or a no-propulsion mode and if the selected mode is hybrid, hydrostatic, or no-propulsion. The engine-pump displacement target may be matched to a system consumption and an accumulator isolation valve closed when an engine-pump output matches the system consumption in the first transition mode. The method may include entering a second transition mode if the selected mode is hybrid and the current mode is hydrostatic. A method of configuring a propulsion mode from hybrid to hydrostatic includes configuring a drive motor displacement target to full displacement, matching a pump displacement to system consumption, and closing an accumulator isolation valve when a pump flow output matches the system consumption.

    摘要: A hydrostatic drive has a hydrostatic pump (3) driven by a drive motor (2) and connected in a closed circuit with a hydrostatic motor (4). The closed circuit is formed by a first hydraulic connection (6a) and a second hydraulic connection (6b). Each of the hydraulic connections (6a, 6b) can form the high-pressure side or the low-pressure side of the closed circuit. A high pressure accumulator device (20) can be connected with the respective high-pressure side hydraulic connection (6a, 6b) and, simultaneously, the respective low-pressure side hydraulic connection (6b, 6a) can be connected with a hydraulic balancing device (30). A valve device (50) is provided for this simultaneous connection. The valve device (50) is a hydraulically controlled shuttle valve device (51) connected to the two hydraulic connections (6a, 6b), the high pressure accumulator device (20) and the hydraulic balancing device (30). The shuttle valve device (30) has a high pressure accumulator path (51a) and a hydraulic balancing path (51b), and is in communication with the two hydraulic connections (6a, 6b) of the closed circuit.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a hydro-mechanical transmission having two rotating groups that mount on a common shaft. At least one of the rotating groups operates as a variable displacement pump or motor. At least one of the rotating groups interacts with a torque transfer unit rotatable about the shaft axis relative to both the shaft and the rotating group. The torque transfer unit includes a valve plate, a swash plate and a torque output section that all rotate in unison with one another about the shaft axis relative to the shaft and the rotating group. The valve plate includes an inlet passage for inletting hydraulic fluid to the rotating group and an outlet passage for outletting hydraulic fluid from the rotating group.
