| 摘要 | 1,137,193. Change-speed control. DR. ING. h.c.F. PORSCHE K.G. 4 Aug., 1967 [4 Aug., 1966], No. 35965/67. Heading F2D. A motor vehicle automatic change-speed gear control with manual override includes electrical, e.g. transistorized, circuits T 1 -T 5 which deliver an integrated control signal dependent on vehicle speed and engine torque demand sensed by the position of the accelerator pedal 52 to actuate a reversible electric motor 63 which positions the spool 39 of a selector valve 23 to selectively engage hydraulically actuated friction clutches 9, 10 and brakes 20, 21 operative on a planetary gear set 2 to shift the gear. Gear arrangement.-The engine is connected via a torque converter 1 to the input shaft 8 of the change-speed gear-box comprising two planetary trains 2 having a common sun 12. The gear output shaft 17 is fast with the ring gear 16 of one train and the planet carrier 15 of the other train. For two-way first a clutch 9 is engaged to clutch the ring gear 13 to the input shaft 8, and a brake 21 is applied to planet carrier 18. For two-way second, the train 13, 15, 12 acts alone; the clutch 9 remains engaged and the sun 12 is held by applying a brake 20. For direct top the clutch 9 and a clutch 10 clutching the sun 12 to the input shaft 8 are engaged to lock the train 13, 15, 12. For reverse, the train 16, 18, 12 acts alone; the clutch 10 is engaged, and the planet carrier 18 held by brake 21. Clutches and brakes.-The band brakes 20, 21 are each applied by supplying pressure fluid to pistons 30, 32 and the disc clutches are engaged by fluid actuated annular pistons. Venting valves, as shown at 33 for brake 21, and including a throttle 35 are provided for each of the brakes and clutches to provide smooth gear changes. Electrical circuits and motor.-An inductive speed sensor 50 senses the impulse sequence of the output bevel gear 3 to produce a signal dependent on the vehicle speed. The signal is received by an amplifier T 1 and limiter T 2 and passed to an impulse former transistorized circuit T 3 which converts the signal into a control voltage and also receives a signal from a potentiometer 51 connected to the accelerator pedal, the two signals being integrated in transistor circuit T 4 and amplified at T 5 . Two manually adjustable trigger circuits A, B, adapted to fire at different voltage levels corresponding to the 1-2, 2-3 shift points receive the integrated signal. The vehicle battery 58 supplies the electrical power through a voltage transformer 59 which prevents fluctuations in the battery output. A switch 61 1 is opened for manual gear changes. The electric motor 63 includes a screw-threaded spindle (66), Figs. 2-4 (not shown), received in a similarly screwthreaded hollow member 65 held against rotation and abutting the shift collar 41. A current rail (68) and balancing resistance (64) are spaced parallel to the member 65 and are interconnected by an electrically isolated conduction loop (67) so that, on energizing the motor 63, the spindle (66) rotates, moving the member 65 axially until the effective voltage on the motor drops to zero because of the feedback to circuit T 6 produced through the loop (67) and balancing resistance (64). Axial movement of member 65 for upshift therefore moves the spool 39 against the spring 40, and for downshift allows the spool to follow under the action of spring 40. Operation. Automatic.-With the switch 611 in its closed position, the manual gear lever 43 is moved to its first position moving the spool 39 of valve 23 against spring 40 into its first position, an engine-driven pump 36 supplying pressure fluid to the respective clutch and brake to engage first gear. With increasing speed on depressing the accelerator pedal, the trigger circuit A will fire actuating motor 63 to move the spool 39 to produce a 1-2 shift, and, on further speed increase, trigger circuit B fires producing a 2-3 shift. The gear lever 43 will stay in its first position during the automatic shifts due to the lost motion pin-and-slot connection 45 between link 46 and lever 44. Manual.-By depressing pushbutton 61 on lever 43, switch 61 1 is opened, breaking the electrical circuit and allowing full manual operation. The pin of the lost motion connection abuts the end of the slot to allow upshifts by moving the gear lever 43, and the spring 40 again causes the spool 39 to follow the gear lever on down shifts. A spring detent 48 holds the lever 43 in its selected position. | ||||||
