  • Patent number: 11441681
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to activating a parking lock system in the drive train of a vehicle having at least one electrical machine comprising a transmission which is connected to driven wheels. The method includes comparing a rotational speed nE of the at least one electrical machine with the transmission to a predetermined threshold value for a limiting speed nG, triggering, in the event that the rotational speed nE is below the threshold value for the limiting speed nG, a command for the actuation of an actuator system for activating the parking lock system, triggering, in the event that the rotational speed nE exceeds the threshold value for the limiting speed nG, a command for preventing an actuation of an actuator system for activating the parking lock system, and miming through a second comparison stage so long as nE?nG.

  • Publication number: 20070246323
    Abstract: The invention relates to a load torque lock (10) for independently locking load-side torques during the drop or cessation of a drive-side torque, comprising a frame-fixed housing (11), an input shaft (12) that, together with engaging means (28), projects inside a housing borehole (18), and comprising an output shaft (13) that, together with an axially protruding extension (19), projects in a chord-like manner into the housing borehole (18). The load torque lock also comprises two clamping bodies (14), which are adjacently arranged inside the housing borehole, which are driven by the engaging means of the input shaft (12) together with the extension (19) of the output shaft, and which are pressed and clamped tightly by the extension (19) of the output shaft against the inside wall (18a) of the housing borehole.

  • Patent number: 6994199
    Abstract: The invention concerns a load torque lock for automatically locking load-side torques in the case of a decrease or cessation of a drive-side torque having a housing (11) fixed to a frame, a locking ring (17) permanently connected to it and a locking body (17) cooperating with it and revolving on the drive side, with locking devices which, on the one hand, clamp on the locking ring (17) with the occurrence of a load torque by swiveling the locking body (17) by means of locking elements (27, 28) of the output shaft (15) and, on the other hand, release from the locking ring (17) by swiveling the locking body (17) back by means of driving elements (23, 24) of the drive shaft (14). To avoid undesired friction or defective jamming of the locking devices on the locking ring (18) by the centrifugal forces of the locking body (17) it is embodied in such a way that its mass center of gravity (M) lies in the area of the rotational axis of the drive shaft and the output shaft that are aligned with one another.
