Abstract:
1. A multiple gear transmission with magnetic control for vehicles or for use in drive technology comprising: an input shaft supported on a frame and an output shaft, the input shaft protruding from the frame at least one end and the output shaft protruding from the frame at one end; transmission gear ratios with transmission wheels, embodied as gear trains or belt and chain drives, located between the input shaft and the output shaft; the transmission wheels supported in a rotatable manner on the input shaft or on the output shaft, the transmission wheels being connected to the input shaft or the output shaft in a torsionally fixed manner by a clutch mechanism, the transmission wheels are constantly in rotation during operation; at least one component supported in a rotatable or displaceable manner relative to a toothing within the clutch mechanism; at least one component adopting a positive position in the toothing within the clutch mechanism; at least one component adopting a position at a distance relative to the toothing within the clutch mechanism; at least one component within the clutch mechanism having properties of a permanent magnet with a magnetic north and south pole within a magnetic field, wherein a state of the clutch mechanism changes through the change of an additional magnetic field inside or in a direct vicinity of the clutch mechanism, during at least one shifting operation the state of at least two clutch mechanisms changes simultaneously, and at least one of the clutch mechanisms transfers only torque in one direction of rotation.
