Publication number: 20230323942Abstract: A drive device for a motor vehicle includes an electric machine having a gearbox where the motor vehicle is drivable electrically via the gearbox by the electric machine. At least one gear of the gearbox is switchable by operating a switch element. A medium is flowable through a circuit that has a first branch through which the medium is flowable to cool and/or lubricate the electric machine and/or the gearbox and a second branch through which the medium is flowable to operate the switch element. A pump delivers the medium through the circuit. The medium is flowable through a third branch of the circuit to operate the parking lock.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Michael BARAGA, Henrik KALCZYNSKI, Markus BRANDENBURG, Nico KRONIMUS

Publication number: 20230323948Abstract: An automatic gearbox for a motor vehicle includes a lubricating or cooling device, a hydraulic pump having a first pump connection via which, in a forward operation of the hydraulic pump, the lubricating or cooling device can be supplied with a hydraulic fluid conveyed by the hydraulic pump during forward operation and thus flows through the first pump connection, and with a parking lock, which can be moved between an engaged state and a disengaged state and has a first operating space, into which the hydraulic fluid conveyed by the hydraulic pump during forward operation can be introduced so that the parking lock is hydraulically operable and an adjustment of the parking lock from one of the states into the other state can thereby be effected.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Michael BARAGA, Markus BRANDENBURG, Henrik KALCZYNSKI, Nico KRONIMUS

Patent number: 9689434Abstract: A hydraulic controller for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle includes at least one gear shift piston-cylinder unit having a gear shift piston for actuating a shifting element in the form of a multi-plate clutch, and a gear shift pressure chamber in which an actuating pressure may be built up by supplying operating fluid. The gear shift piston-cylinder unit has a centrifugal oil chamber that is separated from the gear shift pressure chamber by a gear shift piston. Operating fluid may be supplied to the centrifugal oil chamber via a centrifugal oil line supplied by a first supply line. The hydraulic controller has a second supply line for supplying operating fluid to the centrifugal oil line. The second supply line may be closed and opened by a centrifugal oil valve.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2012Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Michael Baraga, Markus Brandenburg, Henrik Kalczynski, Thomas Kull

Publication number: 20060266414Abstract: The invention proceeds from a changeover valve, in particular for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, having at least one closing means (11) which is arranged in a housing part (10) and which, in order to control a flow, can be guided into at least two valve seats (16, 17) and is arranged in a control duct (20) which is open exclusively toward a connection side (15) of the housing part (10). It is proposed that in a switched-off state, considered in an operating configuration, the closing means (11) adopts a defined initial control position (18).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2004Publication date: November 30, 2006Applicant: DAIMLERCHRYSLER AGInventors: Michael Baraga, Tobias Goedecke

Publication number: 20050011564Abstract: The invention relates to a control plate of an automatic gearbox, which plate comprises two housing parts and a steel sealing plate clamped in between in a sealing manner by means of screws. In order to keep the manufacturing spread of the tightening torque of these screws small, the screws are tightened until beyond their RP 0.2 limit in a manner controlled by the angle of rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2004Publication date: January 20, 2005Applicant: DAIMLERCHRYSLER AGInventors: Michael Baraga, Tobias Goedecke, Gerhard Oettinger, Uwe Pfister
