Title: Improvements in and relating to Hydraulic Change Speed Gear.
IPC: F16H39/20
Filed: 1911-08-31
Granted: 1912-09-02
Abstract: 19,452. Soc. Anon. du Temple. Aug. 31, 1910, [Convention date]. Speed-varying mechanism. - An hydraulic change-speed mechanism comprises two systems of pumps arranged in the same gear-case filled with oil under pressure and on either side of a distributing - plate and formed of radiallydisposed cylinders secured to the driving and driven shafts, the piston - rods of each system being connected to a crank and the crank of each element being made movable. The driving- shaft 8 and driven shaft 8<1> carry the cylinders 4, 4<1>, which are driven through the keys 7 and are pressed against the distributing-plates 1, 1<1> by springs 13, and by the liquid under pressure entering the chamber 12, shown in Fig. 1. The connecting-rods 50 are all connected to the studs 10, 10' which are made integral with the plates 20, 20' and are adjusted by the rods 22, 22<1>. The plates are pressed against the central plate 2 bv means of the wedge portions 23, shown in Fig. 3. Passages 11, 15, Fig. 2, in the form of arcs of circles are formed in the distributor so that the oil may pass from one system to the other. These passages are connected through the passages 52, 25, 53 and a non-return valve 26 to prevent the pressure of the liquid from rising to an excessive value. Oil is supplied to the apparatus by a reservoir 28 which is connected by a pipe 51 to the conduit 52, as shown in Fig. 7. Air under pressure is forced into the gear-case through the pipe 32, and forces the leakage from the casing 19 to the tank 28. Any air in the pressure system can be discharged through the apertures 29, 30, which communicate with the openings in the distributing-plate. For operating the rods 22, 22<1>, they are connected through link mechanism with a sleeve 40<1> carrying a piston 42<1> in a cylinder 41'. Oil under pressure is fed to the cylinder through connexions 43', 48'. A perforated tube 45' is mounted inside the sleeve 40', and has an enlarged end 46<1> provided with longitudinal grooves. The tube 45<1> is fixed to a spring- controlled rod 55'. A conduit 56' serves for discharging the oil. If the tube 45<1> is moved, one of the ball valves 44<1> is opened and the piston 42<1>, link-gear, and rod 22<1> are operated. The displacement of the piston closes the corresponding oil inlet by means of a rod 59<1> forming a double valve.
