The present translation relates to a double clutch transmission.
A six-speed or seven-speed double clutch transmission is known from published patent DE 103 05 241 A1. The double clutch transmission comprises two clutches which are each connected by their input sides with the drive shaft and by their output sides with one of the two transmission input shafts. The two transmission input shafts are arranged coaxially relative to each other. Furthermore, two countershafts are arranged parallel to the axis of the two transmission input shafts, of which the idler gears engage with fixed gears of the transmission input shafts. In addition, coupling devices are held in a rotationally fixed manner and movable on the countershafts to be able to shift the corresponding toothed gearwheels. Each chosen transmission ratio is transmitted to a differential by means of the output gears. To realize the desired transmission ratio stages in the known double clutch transmission, a multiplicity of gear planes is necessary so that a not insignificant amount of construction space is needed for installation.
Furthermore, a spur-gear multi-speed transmission is known from published patent DE 38 22 330 A1. The spur-gear multi-speed transmission comprises a power shiftable double clutch of which one part is connected to a drive shaft and of which another part is connected to a hollow drive shaft which is fixed in a rotational manner on the drive shaft. The drive shaft can be coupled with the hollow drive shaft by means of a shift element for certain transmission ratios.
A power-shift transmission with two clutches is known from published patent DE 10 2004 001 961 A1, in which the clutches are assigned to a subtransmission. The transmission input shafts of the two subtransmissions are arranged coaxially relative to each other and mesh with idler gears of the assigned countershafts by means of fixed gears. Each idler gear of the countershafts can be connected in a rotationally fixed manner to one of the countershafts by means of assigned shift elements. From this published patent, an eight-speed transmission is also known for which another shift element is provided for coupling the two transmission input shafts for the realization of a further transmission ratio stage. Even the seven-geared transmission requires at least six gear planes in the two subtransmissions in this embodiment to be able to realize the transmission ratio stages. This leads to an undesirable lengthening of the construction length in the axial direction so that the possibility of installation in a vehicle is significantly limited.
Furthermore, another power shiftable transmission is known from published patent DE 10 2005 028 532 A1, which comprises two input shafts and only one countershaft. An eight-speed transmission in this embodiment, for example, requires more than seven gear planes to be able to realize the transmission ratio stages, especially the reverse gear transmission ratios. This leads to an undesirable lengthening of the construction length in the axial direction.
The problem at the basis of the present invention is to propose a double clutch transmission of the type described at the beginning in which a plurality of power shiftable transmission ratio stages are realized as cost-effectively as possible and with the fewest parts with little demand for construction space.
Accordingly, a double clutch transmission optimized for construction space with two clutches is proposed, of which the input sides are connected to a drive shaft and of which the output sides are connected to one of, for example, two transmission input shafts arranged coaxially to each other. The double clutch transmission comprises at least two countershafts or the like, on which toothed gearwheels designed as idler gears are fixed in a rotatable manner, wherein toothed gearwheels are provided which are arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the two transmission input shafts and designed as fixed gears, and the toothed gearwheels mesh at least partly with the idler gears. Furthermore, a plurality of coupling devices are provided for the connection in a rotationally fixed manner of an idler gear with a countershaft. The double clutch transmission according to the invention has a power take-off gear or constant pinion on each of the countershafts, each of which is coupled with a gearing of a drive shaft to connect each countershaft to the output drive, and at least one shift element for the connection in a rotationally fixed manner of two toothed gearwheels, wherein a plurality of power shiftable gears are feasible.
According to the invention, the proposed double clutch transmission comprises a maximum of only five gear planes, by which at least eight power shiftable gears are realized with little demand for construction space. The preferably four or five gear planes, for example, can be formed by at least three dual gear planes, among others, wherein one idler gear of the first and second countershafts is assigned to a fixed gear of one of the transmission input shafts in each dual gear plane and in at least one of the dual gear planes, at least one idler gear is usable for at least two gears, so that at least one winding path gear is shiftable by means of an activated winding path gear-shift element.
The four gear planes can be formed exclusively by dual gear planes, for example. It is also possible that at least one single gear plane also be used along with the dual gear planes, wherein in each single gear plane, one idler gear of the countershafts is assigned to one fixed gear of one of the transmission input shafts. Other combinations are also possible.
The proposed double clutch transmission makes it possible to realize a maximum number of transmission ratios with the least possible number of gear planes because of the possible multiple usages of idler gears, wherein preferably the first eight forward gears are power shiftable with sequential execution.
To optimize the stepping of the proposed double clutch transmission according to the invention, a dual gear plane can, for example, be replaced by two single gear planes, in that one fixed gear is replaced by two fixed gears. An especially harmonious, progressive gear stepping can thereby be achieved. It is also possible to replace two single gear planes by one dual gear plane.
The proposed double clutch transmission can preferably be embodied as an eight-speed transmission with at least eight power shiftable gear stages. Because of the short design relative to known transmission arrangements, the double clutch transmission according to the invention is especially suitable for a front-transverse design of a vehicle. However, other installations are also possible depending on the type and construction space situation of the specific vehicle.
The first and/or the eighth forward gear can preferably be a winding path gear in the proposed double clutch transmission. Also, at least one reverse gear and/or other gears, as e.g. crawler gears or overdrive gears, can likewise be embodied as winding path gears and can possibly also be feasible as power shiftable. For example, the first power shiftable forward gear or the highest power shiftable gear can be a winding path gear. Along with the winding path gear-shift element arranged on the second countershaft, other winding path gear-shift elements can be optionally provided, for example in the form of a shift element assigned to the first or the second countershaft or in the form of winding path gear-coupling devices, which are assigned to the constant pinions almost as winding path gear-shift elements, in order to release these from the assigned countershaft to be able to realize other winding path gears. Thus, both constant pinions can optionally be connected to the assigned countershaft such that they are shiftable.
Three to five shiftable idler gears, for example, can be assigned on the first countershaft and on the second countershaft, depending on the embodiment, and engage with each fixed gear of the assigned transmission input shafts.
If the last or next-to-last gear increment is higher than the previous one, a downshift request by the driver can place an especially high output torque or drive power at his/her disposal.
The double clutch transmission according to the invention has an advantage in that a maximum of five shift points on the first countershaft and a maximum of six shift points on the second countershaft are needed. Overall, a maximum of nine shift points can be enough, however, to realize the proposed gear stages. Further shift points are, however, possible.
According to the invention, the idler gear of the second subtransmission can be connected to the idler gear of the first subtransmission by means of the at least one additional shift element on the first and/or second countershaft, so that at least one winding path gear can be shifted by means of the shift element.
Winding path gears can be realized on the output gears in the inventive double clutch transmission when the shift element is activated and, if needed, additionally when the coupling devices are disengaged, for which winding path gears and toothed gearwheels of both subtransmissions are coupled with each other to realize thereby a flow of power through both subtransmissions. The winding path gear-shift element used each time serves for the coupling of two idler gears and thereby brings the transmission input shafts into interdependence.
The arrangement of the shift elements for the coupling of two particular idler gears can be varied in the double clutch transmission so that the shift elements do not have to be arranged between the idler gears to be coupled. Accordingly, other positions of the order of each of the shift elements are conceivable to optimize, for example, the linking to an actuator system.
The double clutch transmission can provide, according to a possible embodiment, that three dual gear planes and one single gear plane, for example, be provided, wherein a first gear plane and a second gear plane are assigned to the fixed gears of the second transmission input shaft of the second subtransmission, and wherein a third gear plane and a fourth gear plane are assigned to the fixed gears of the first transmission input shaft of the first subtransmission.
The first gear plane and the second gear plane of the second subtransmission can be embodied as dual gear planes. The third gear plane of the first subtransmission is preferably embodied as a dual gear plane and the fourth gear plane of the first subtransmission can be embodied as a single gear plane.
As part of further embodiment of the invention, provision can be made for three dual gear planes and two single gear planes in the proposed double clutch transmission. The first gear plane as single gear plane, the second gear plane as dual gear plane and the fourth gear plane also as dual gear plane can be assigned to the fixed gears of the second transmission input shaft, for example, wherein a fourth gear plane as dual gear plane and a fifth gear plane as single gear plane can be assigned then to the first subtransmission. It is also conceivable that in this embodiment a first gear plane as single gear plane, a second gear plane as single gear plane and a third gear plane as dual gear plane be assigned to the second subtransmission, wherein then the fourth gear plane and the fifth gear plane each are assigned as dual gear planes to the first subtransmission. It is also conceivable that a first gear plane as dual gear plane, a second gear plane as single gear plane and a third gear plane as dual gear plane be assigned to the second subtransmission, wherein then the fourth gear plane as dual gear plane and the fifth gear plane as single gear plane can be assigned to the first subtransmission.
According to the next embodiment of the invention, provision can be made for only four dual gear planes. In this embodiment, a first gear plane and a second gear plane as dual gear planes can be assigned to the second subtransmission, and a third gear plane and a fourth gear plane also as dual gear planes can be assigned to the first subtransmission.
Provision can preferably be made in the double clutch transmission according to the invention for four dual gear planes and one single gear plane. In this embodiment, a first gear plane and a second gear plane, each as dual gear planes, can be assigned to the second subtransmission, for example. A third gear plane and a fourth gear plane, each as dual gear planes, and a fifth gear plane as single gear plane can be assigned, for example, to the first subtransmission. Alternatively, a third gear plane as single gear plane and a fourth gear plane as well as a fifth gear plane, each as dual gear planes, can be assigned to the first subtransmission. A further variant of this embodiment can provide that a first gear plane as dual gear plane and a second gear plane as single gear plane be assigned to the second subtransmission, for example. The third gear plane, the fourth gear plane and the fifth gear plane can be each assigned to the first subtransmission as dual gear planes in this embodiment.
Another embodiment of the invention can provide that, for four dual gear planes and one single gear plane, a first gear plane, a second gear plane and a third gear plane, each as dual gear plane, are assigned to the second subtransmission, wherein a fourth gear plane as dual gear plane and a fifth gear plane as single gear plane are assigned to the first subtransmission. Alternatively, a first gear plane as dual gear plane, a second gear plane as single gear plane and a third gear plane as dual gear plane can also be assigned to the second subtransmission, wherein then a fourth gear plane and a fifth gear plane each as dual gear planes are assigned to the first subtransmission.
To provide the necessary rotation reversal for the realization of reverse gears in the double clutch transmission according to the invention, at least one intermediate gear or the like can, for example, be used, which is arranged on an intermediate shaft, for example. It is also possible that one of the idler gears of a countershaft serve as intermediate gear for at least one reverse gear. Then, no additional intermediate shaft is necessary for the reverse gear transmission ratio since one of the idler gears engages with a fixed gear as well as with another shiftable idler gear of the other countershaft. The intermediate gear necessary for the reverse gear is thus arranged on a countershaft as shiftable idler gear and serves in addition for the realization of at least one other forward gear. The intermediate gear can also be embodied as stepped gear, independently of whether it is arranged on the countershaft or on an additional intermediate shaft. It is also possible that the intermediate gear not be arranged on one of the already present countershafts, but instead be provided on another separate shaft, e.g. a third countershaft.
To maintain the desired transmission ratio stages, the double clutch transmission can provide that at least one bidirectionally operative coupling device or the like be arranged on each countershaft. The provided coupling devices can connect one assigned idler gear in a rotationally fixed manner to each countershaft in the activated or engaged condition depending on the direction of activation. Moreover, a unidirectionally operative coupling device or the like can also be arranged on at least one of the countershafts. For example, hydraulically, electrically, pneumatically, or mechanically actuated clutches or also form-locking claw clutches as well as every type of synchronization can be used as coupling devices, which serve for the connection in a rotationally fixed manner of an idler gear to a countershaft. It is possible that a bidirectionally operative coupling device be replaced by two unidirectionally operative coupling devices or vice versa.
It is conceivable for the indicated potential arrangements of the toothed gearwheels to be varied and for the number of toothed gearwheels and the number of coupling devices to be changed in order to realize further savings in power-shifting gears or non-power-shifting gears and in construction space and parts in the proposed double clutch transmission. In particular, fixed gears of dual gear planes can be divided into two fixed gears for two single-gear planes. Step changes can thereby be improved. In addition, it is possible to exchange countershafts. The subtransmissions can also be exchanged, i.e. as mirror images around a vertical axis. In the process, hollow shaft and solid shaft are exchanged. It is thereby possible to arrange the smallest gear on the solid shaft, for example, to optimize the use of the available construction space further. In addition, adjacent gear planes can be exchanged, for example to optimize a shaft deflection and/or optimally connect a shift actuating system. Moreover, the order of the coupling devices' positions on the gear plane can be varied. Furthermore, the direction of action of the coupling devices can be changed.
The gear numbering used here has been loosely specified. It is also possible to add a crawler or creep speed and/or overdrive or fast speed to improve, for example, the off-road features or the acceleration response. In addition, a first gear can be omitted, for example, to be able to optimize the totality of the step changes. The gear numbering varies with these actions correspondingly.
Independent of the specific variant embodiments of the double clutch transmission, the drive shaft and the output shaft can by preference be arranged non-coaxially with each other, which produces a particularly space-saving arrangement. For example, the shafts thereby arranged spatially behind each other can be moved slightly toward each other. With this arrangement, a direct gear with transmission ratio of one can be realized by means of gear engagement and can be positioned advantageously and relatively freely on the sixth to ninth gears. Other possible arrangements of the drive shaft and the output shaft are also conceivable.
The proposed double clutch transmission is preferably equipped with an integrated output stage. The output stage can comprise a fixed gear as output gear on the output shaft and meshes not only with a first power take-off gear as constant pinion of the first countershaft, but also with a second power take-off gear as constant pinion of the second countershaft. Both power take-off gears can optionally also be designed as shiftable gears. A winding path gear-coupling device, for example, can be assigned for the shifting of the respective power take-off gear, which device releases the connection between the assigned countershaft and the output gear in the disengaged state to be able to shift winding path gears.
Advantageously, the lower forward gears and the reverse gears are activated by means of one start-up or shifting clutch to concentrate higher loads on this clutch and thereby to embody the second clutch with more effective use of space and more cost effectively. In particular, the gear planes of the proposed double clutch transmission can be arranged such that coupling can occur during start-up not only by means of the inner transmission input shaft but also the outer transmission input shaft and thereby by means of the clutch that is better suited at the time, which is possible in a concentrically arranged, radially nested construction of the double clutch. The gear planes can be correspondingly arranged as mirror images of each other or exchanged.
Independent of the particular variant embodiment, the proposed gear planes in the double clutch transmission, for example, can be interchanged.
In the following, the present invention is explained more precisely by the use of the drawings. The figures show the following:
In each of the
The eight-speed double clutch transmission comprises two clutches K1, K2, of which the input sides are connected to a drive shaft w_an and of which the output sides are connected to one of two transmission input shafts w_k1, w_k2 which are arranged coaxially relative to each other. A torsion vibration damper 22 can additionally be arranged on the drive shaft w_an. Furthermore, two countershafts w_v1, w_v2 are provided on which toothed gearwheels designed as idler gears 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 are fixed in a rotatable manner. Toothed gearwheels are arranged on the two transmission input shafts w_k1, w_k2 in a rotationally fixed manner and designed as fixed gears 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and mesh at least partly with the idler gears 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
To be able to connect idler gears 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 to the relevant countershaft w_v1, w_v2, a plurality of activatable coupling devices A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L are provided on the countershafts w_v1, w_v2. Moreover, power take-off gears 20, 21 are arranged on the two countershafts w_v1, w_v2 as constant pinions and are each coupled with a gearing of a fixed gear 19 of one output shaft w_ab, wherein output stages i_ab_1, i_ab_2 corresponding to the power take-off gears 20, 21 are assigned.
Along with the coupling devices A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, which in the activated state realize a connection in a rotationally fixed manner between a toothed gearwheel and the assigned countershaft w_v1, w_v2, a winding path gear-shift element N or P is provided on the second countershaft w_v2. The shift element N enables the idler gears 15 and 16 of the second countershaft w_v2 to be connected to each other in order to couple the first subtransmission with the second subtransmission, so that winding path gears are shiftable. The shift element P enables the idler gears 14 and 15 of the second countershaft w_v2 to be connected to each other, in order to couple the first subtransmission with the second subtransmission, so that winding path gears are shiftable.
According to the invention, in the double clutch transmission only four or five gear planes 1-13, 7-1, 7-13, 8-2, 2-14, 8-14, 3-15, 9-15, 4-16, 10-4, 10-16, 5-17, 11-5, 11-17, 12-6, 6-18, 12-18 are provided, wherein at least three dual gear planes 7-13, 8-14, 9-15, 10-16, 11-17, 12-18 are provided in each variant embodiment, such that winding path gears are shiftable at least when shift element N or P is activated and if needed also by means of another activated shift element M or O as well as by means of at least one of the winding path gears-coupling devices S-ab1, S_ab2. A claw or the like, for example, can be used as shift elements N, P, M and O for the connection of two gears or the like.
When coupling device S_ab1 or S_ab2 is disengaged, the connection in a rotationally fixed manner can be released between the power take-off gear 20 or 21 and the first countershaft w_v1 or the second countershaft w_v2. In addition, if needed the winding path gear-shift element M can be provided for the connection in a rotationally fixed manner of idler gears 9 and 10 of the first countershaft w_v1, so that at least one winding path gear can optionally be realized also by means of the activated shift element M. Moreover, the additional winding path gear-shift element O can also be provided as needed for the connection in a rotationally fixed manner of the idler gears 8 and 9 of the first countershaft w_V1, so that at least one other winding path gear can be realized also by means of the activated shift element O.

It is possible for at least one additional gear stage ZW_x, ZW_8 or ZW_1, for example, to be used as winding path gears in one or in a plurality of variant embodiments which are not used in a direct forward gear. The use of an additional gear stage is shown in the respective figures of the variant embodiments.
Gears x1, x2, . . . x7, x8 can be used for additional winding path gears which can be added to supplement a single gear plane, wherein the consecutive numbering of the gears x1, x2, . . . x7 occurs as follows: The consecutive numbering begins for the first gear x1 of the first countershaft w_v1, starting from the assigned output stage i_ab_1 and continuing to the fourth gear x4, wherein the first gear on the second countershaft w_v2, starting from the assigned output stage i_ab_2, is denoted by x5 and the other gears are denoted continuously to x8. If the additional gear x1, x2, . . . x7, x8 is used as part of a reverse gear transmission ratio, a rotation reversal will occur, e.g. as by the use of an intermediate gear ZR on an intermediate shaft w_zw or the like.
In all the variant embodiments of the double clutch transmission, fewer gear planes and thus fewer parts for an identical number of gears are required because of this multiple usage of individual idler gears, so that construction space and costs can be reduced advantageously.
Independent of the specific variant embodiment, the number “1” in a field of the relevant table of the shift patterns according to
Deviating from the previously mentioned rules, for the coupling device S_ab1 or S_ab2 assigned to a power take-off gear 20 or 21, when a field is blank in the specific table of the shift patterns according to
In addition, in many cases it is possible to introduce other coupling or shift elements without influencing the flow of power. This enables a preselection of gears.
