Abstract: A clutch device includes a clutch input hub which is connectable to a drive unit (24), a clutch output hub which is connectable to an electric machine and/or to a transmission, a clutch via which the clutch input hub can be selectively brought into rotary driving connection with the clutch output hub, and an actuating piston for hydraulically actuating the clutch, a chamber to which fluid may be applied being assigned to said actuating piston, wherein fluid can be applied to the chamber via a first rotary feedthrough between a stationary component and the clutch input hub and via a second rotary feedthrough between the clutch input hub and the clutch output hub. The first rotary feedthrough and the second rotary feedthrough are designed on the side of clutch input hub facing outward in radial direction. A drivetrain having the clutch device is also included.
Abstract: A hydrodynamic lock-based CVT gearbox is disclosed. The apparatus is configured to continuously convert input rpm into different rpm's without interrupting a gearbox connection with an engine using a suspended and single-speed gearbox, and clockwise and counterclockwise rotation control of hydrodynamic lock. The apparatus is configured to utilize parallel paths pattern for power transfer, which includes a first power path and a second power path parallel to the first power path. The first power path is configured to reduce rotation and increase torque. The second power path is configured to provide equal rotation of the input and output axes. The apparatus is further configured to transfer the power from the first power path to the second power path by disposing a limiter at the first power path. At the end, the rotational force of the paths is combined and transmitted to the output of the gearbox.
Abstract: Provided is an electronic circuit unit to be mounted within a casing of an automatic transmission for a vehicle. An electronic circuit body including circuit-side terminals protruding in an outward direction from a main-body, connectors to be connected to the electronic circuit body, a cover, and a base member having a placing face on which the cover, the electronic circuit body and the connectors are placed. The cover is provided with a main-body covering part, fitting-portion covering parts and which cover a fitting-portion of the circuit-side terminals and fitting parts of the wire-side terminals from a side opposing to the placing face, and a restricting part for regulating the detachment of the connectors from the fitting position to the detached position.
Abstract: A manual valve is provided between a mechanical oil pump and a clutch of an automatic transmission device for connecting an engine with the automatic transmission device, a first check valve is provided in a passage connecting the mechanical oil pump with the manual valve, and an electric oil pump is provided in parallel with the mechanical oil pump, wherein the electric oil pump is operated during an idling stop of the engine and an output side of the electric oil pump is connected to the passage between the first check valve and the manual valve so that the working fluid from the electric oil pump is supplied to the clutch of the automatic transmission device through the manual valve. Accordingly, the electric oil pump can be made smaller and the supply of the working fluid from the electric oil pump to the clutch can be prevented when it is not necessary.
