  • Patent number: 12234909
    Abstract: A hydro-mechanical series and parallel transmission device and a control method thereof are provided. The device includes an input shaft assembly, a hydraulic transmission assembly, a planetary gear transmission assembly, an intermediate gear transmission assembly, and an output shaft assembly. Switching among a hydraulic transmission mode, a mechanical transmission mode, and a hydro-mechanical composite transmission mode is implemented through combination and engagement/disengagement of clutches and brakes. The hydro-mechanical series transmission is used to expand the speed regulation range of the hydraulic transmission and is combined with the hydraulic transmission to meet the requirements on precision and the speed regulation range. The requirements of low-power and high-power operations are met through combination of the hydro-mechanical series and parallel transmissions. Multiple transmission modes are formed to adapt to the working conditions of startup, operation, and transfer.

  • Patent number: 12209646
    Abstract: A hybrid transmission device with a mechanical continuously variable transmission and a control method thereof are provided. The device includes an input shaft assembly, a front planetary gear transmission assembly, a rear planetary gear transmission assembly, an output shaft, and a mechanical continuously variable transmission. Single transmission modes and hybrid transmission modes are implemented through combination and engagement/disengagement of brakes and clutches. The device and the method realize free switching among various transmission modes and integrates the single transmission modes and the hybrid transmission modes, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in adjustment and expanding the speed regulation range. Input and output shafts of a front cup wheel and ring disc transmission mechanism and a rear cup wheel and ring disc transmission mechanism are coaxial, so that the structure is compact and intermediate rollers can stably and reliably transmit large torque.

  • Patent number: 7171417
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for improving performance and scalability of common information model object (CIMOM) by using a hardware management console (HMC) repository. The HMC repository includes storage of HMC objects, an HMC object model and a common interface (CIM Wrapper) for accessing to HMC objects. The HMC object model allows the user to store and retrieve the CIM objects and their associations efficiently. A CIM provider may access HMC objects through a common interface (CIM Wrapper), so that different repositories are allowed to be used without significant changes to the underlying server code (CIM provider). A CIM provider may also call the HMC repository directly for more efficient operations because the number of times conversions made between the CIM object and the repository object are greatly decreased.
