Patent number: 11912130Abstract: A hybrid dual clutch transmission includes a first sub-transmission and a first clutch allocated to the first sub-transmission, a second sub-transmission and a second clutch allocated to the second sub-transmission, a separating clutch provided to decouple the hybrid dual clutch transmission from an internal combustion engine. The first clutch has a first outer disc carrier, the second clutch has a second outer disc carrier, and the separating clutch has a further outer disc carrier. The first clutch, the second clutch, and the separating clutch are stacked radially one above the other and are arranged at least substantially axially overlapping. The transmission also includes an electric motor having a rotor, a stator, and a housing. The transmission further includes a drive element permanently non-rotationally connected to the first outer disc carrier of the first clutch to link the electric motor.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: MERCEDES-BENZ GROUP AGInventors: Claus Hofmaier, Matthias Maisch, Daniel Doll, Thomas Mattes

Patent number: 11143213Abstract: An electronic execution unit controls and regulates a pneumatic valve assembly for a pneumatic movement. An application for controlling and regulating a valve assembly is or can be loaded so that it can be carried out on the electronic execution unit to carry out the pneumatic movement on the pneumatic valve assembly. An electronic valve controller for the open-loop control and closed-loop control of a valve assembly has at least one pneumatic valve for a pneumatic movement task.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2018Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Festo SE & Co.
