  • Patent number: 9604537
    Abstract: A vehicle including a driving axle (10), a driven axle (20), a hydraulic pump (14) and a hydraulic motor (24) providing hydraulic assistance for driving the driven axle (20) by lapping off torque applied to the driving axle (10). The driving axle (10) comprising includes a differential (11) thus defining two output half axles on which wheels are mounted. Rotation of the box allows the output half axles to be rotationally driven at distinct speeds. The hydraulic pump (14) includes a rotor and a stator, the stator being mounted fixed with respect to the chassis and the rotor being connected to and rotating as one with the differential box (11). The hydraulic pumps (14) are rotationally driven at a speed equal to the average speed of the two half axles associated with the differential (11) on which the pump is mounted.

  • Patent number: 9518466
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic apparatus (1) including: a casing (6) defining a first assembly; a shaft (2) defining a second assembly; said first and second assemblies being freely rotatable relative to one another; a multi-lobe cam (3) rotatably connected to one of said first or second assembly; a dispenser (51) and a dispenser cover (52); a cylinder block (4) mounted such as to be freely rotatable relative to said first and second assemblies and including a means for rotatably engaging relative to the other of said assemblies, characterized in that the hydraulic apparatus (1) includes a return means for moving the cylinder block (4) in order to rotatably disengage same from said first or second assembly, and in that the dispenser (5) is configured, when applying pressure, to rotatably engage the cylinder block (4) relative to the other of said first or second assembly.

  • Patent number: 9512859
    Abstract: A hydraulic transmission circuit comprising three or four coupled hydraulic elementary motors, each elementary motor having a first and a second secondary enclosure. The circuit includes four distribution valves for which the respective outlet channels may be selectively connected to two main conduits for supplying fluid to and discharging fluid from the circuit. The outlet channels of the first and second valves are connected to at least one of the first secondary enclosures; those of the third and fourth valves are connected to at least one of the second secondary enclosures. Each of the elementary motors has a first secondary enclosure connected to a single valve from among the first or second valve and a second secondary enclosure connected to a single valve from among the third or fourth valve. The valve pairs thereby connected to said elementary motors respectively, are all distinct, two by two.

  • Patent number: 9284942
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a subassembly for forming a hydraulic motor after assembly onto an assembly including a shaft, said subassembly including a cover forming a housing element, a multilobe cam, a cylinder block opposite the cam, pistons guided so as to slide radially within the respective cylinders of the cylinder block and bearing on the lobes of the cam, and a valve intended to apply pressurized fluid to said pistons in series, wherein said subassembly includes means for temporarily attaching the cylinder block to the cover and means for accessing an element of the valve through the cover in order to enable, during installation, the angular positioning of said element with respect to the shaft, followed by the attachment thereof to the shaft. The present invention also relates to a method for assembling such a hydrobase.
