Patent number: 6220221Abstract: In a method to avoid bucking oscillations during acceleration of vehicles, the engine torque is varied. To reliably prevent bucking oscillations without adversely affecting the acceleration behavior and exhaust behavior, it is proposed that during operation of the gas pedal, the engine torque be varied according to a stipulated engine torque curve between a lower torque value and an upper torque value, in which the engine torque curve has a local maximum adjacent to the lower torque value and has a local minimum between the local maximum and the upper torque value.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1999Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Roland Flinspach, Andreas Haller, Franz Moser

Patent number: 6199536Abstract: In a method to avoid bucking oscillations during acceleration of vehicles the throttle valve position is influenced, in which, for conversion of engine torque trend between the lower torque initial value and an upper torque target value, the trend of the throttle valve position is changed between an initial closed position corresponding to the torque initial value and a target opening position corresponding to the torque target value. To prevent bucking oscillations reliably without adversely affecting the acceleration behavior and exhaust behavior, the trend of the throttle valve position adjacent to the initial closed position has a local maximum that opens the throttle valve and a local minimum that closes the throttle valve between the local maximum and the target opening position.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1999Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Roland Flinspach, Andreas Haller, Franz Moser, Günter Rink

Patent number: 5176233Abstract: An apparatus for reducing the transmission of vibrations from an engine to a transmission line having two flywheel elements capable of rotation relative to one another, the first element being drivingly connected to the engine and the second element being drivingly connected to the transmission line. The two flywheel elements are connected by a spring mounting and abutments. A first abutment of the spring mounting is frictionally connected with limited rotational capacity to the second flywheel element. The frictional contact between the first abutment and the second flywheel element is smaller than the frictional contact between the second abutment and the first flywheel element.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1986Date of Patent: January 5, 1993Assignee: Daimler-Benz AGInventors: Guenter Woerner, Ernst Tscheplak, Franz Moser

Patent number: 5067319Abstract: A system for purifying the exhaust gases of a diesel engine comprises an exhaust gas line, which is branched to form two branch lines, which are adapted to be shut off in alternation by change-over valve means. One of said branch lines constitutes a filter line, which incorporates a soot filter. The other branch line constitutes a by-pass line. Downstream of the soot filter the filter line joins the by-pass line to form a common end line. In dependence on the load on the engine, the filter line is opened by the change-over valve means only during an operation of the engine under a full load or under a partial load in excess of a predetermined value. In order to ensure that the exhaust gas will almost entirely be purified during an operation of the engine throughout its load range, an diesel soot oxidation-inducing catalyst is provided downstream of the change-over valve means and is incorporated in the by-pass line or in the common end line.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1990Date of Patent: November 26, 1991Assignee: Steyr-Daimler-Puch AGInventor: Franz Moser

Patent number: RE34146Abstract: A split flywheel for reducing the transmission of vibrations from the engine to the drive shaft at certain frequencies of the flywheel is provided. Included are two flywheel elements drivingly connected to one another wherein one of which is connected or can be connected in a driven manner to the engine and the other of which is connected or can be connected in a driven manner to the drive line. The resonant frequency of the split flywheel unit is well below the frequency of engine vibrations which occur during normal traveling, so that only slight amplitudes of vibration occur between the flywheel elements during normal travel operation. However, during start-up of the engine, the resonant frequency of the flywheel is passed through. The drive connection between the elements a slip clutch having a greater friction contact than the maximum torque of the engine, placed in series with a spring mounting and positioned between the two flywheel elements.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1991Date of Patent: December 22, 1992Assignee: Daimler-Benz AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gunter Worner, Franz Moser, Ernst Tscheplak
