  • Patent number: 11346428
    Abstract: Manual dual clutch power transmission unit 10 for a vehicle (tractor, constructional vehicle and the like), which comprises a synchro-shuttle transmission unit 10S (forward/reverse drive transmission), a hydro-mechanical operated a dual clutch unit 10D, a multi-speed transmission unit 10T (8 speed transmission unit), a range transmission unit 10R (3 ranges—low range, medium range and high range), a hydro-mechanical transmission control mechanism 100 which controls shifting and selection of gears (odd gear and/or even gear) and corresponding clutches (odd clutch and/or even clutch) respectively, and an auxiliary transmission actuation mechanism 200 which actuates the power transmission unit 10 when at least one of the hydraulic dual clutch unit 10D of the power transmission unit 10 and a hydraulic system of the vehicle is not functioning, wherein the transmission control mechanism 100 for the multi-speed transmission unit 10T is provided with Z-gate sequential gear shift pattern.

  • Patent number: 10753468
    Abstract: Auxiliary transmission actuation mechanism 200 in a power transmission unit of a vehicle includes a transmission actuating gear 202, a gear driven bush 204, a gear actuating means 206, a shift fork 208, a shift rail 210, a clutch control valve actuating arm 212, a rail shifting means 214. The transmission actuating gear 202 is used to drive at least one of an even shaft and an odd shaft which in turn drives an output shaft through gears thereby propelling the vehicle when at least one of a dual clutch unit and a hydraulic system of vehicle is not functioning. The clutch control valve actuating arm 212 is adapted to engage a movable member of a clutch control valve assembly 100V thereby actuating clutch control valve 100V to de-actuate the dual clutch unit.
