Patent number: 8210290Abstract: A method for controlling the operation of a generator connected to an electrical energy storage unit in a vehicle power train. An engine is connected to a drive shaft of the vehicle through a transmission and with an interrupting device with which the transmission of torque from the engine to the drive shaft is interruptible. When the transmission of torque between the engine and the drive shaft is interrupted the generator is driven from the drive shaft.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 7824295Abstract: A power-branched, continuously variable vehicle transmission includes a CVT variable speed drive that is connected to an input shaft through a planetary gear train and to an output shaft through a multistage gearbox. In an alternative embodiment, one variable speed drive shaft of the variable speed drive is connected to an input shaft, and the variable speed drive shafts are connected to an output shaft through a planetary gear train module. The power-branched transmission is compactly constructed, but permits a high start-up torque and enables a wide transmission ratio spread.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: LuK Lamellen und Kupplungsbau Beteiligungs KGInventors: Andreas Triller, Emmanuel Simon

Patent number: 7686735Abstract: A continuously variable power-branched transmission for a motor vehicle, including an input shaft, a variable speed drive unit having pairs of conical disks and a continuously variable transmission ratio, a gear system, and an output shaft. Two control clutches connect the variable speed drive unit and the gear system so that when going through the entire transmission ratio range of the power-branched transmission the adjustment range of the variable speed drive unit is passed through a plurality of times. The transmission also includes rotational speed sensors and a controller that determines whether a change in rotational speed is triggered by a change in the transmission ratio, and when it is not triggered by a change in the transmission ratio, the controller adjusts the variable speed drive unit so that the change in rotational speed not triggered by a change in the transmission ratio is compensated.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2007Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: LuK Lamellen und Kupplungsbau Betelligungs KGInventors: Martin Vornehm, Emmanuel Simon
