The present disclosure discloses a vehicle two-power-source dual driving assembly, wherein, the vehicle two-power-source dual driving assembly comprises two sets of driving units that are symmetrically arranged, the two sets of driving units connect to a same set of vehicle axle half shafts, each of the sets of driving units is provided with a power source and an automatic transmission, and each of the automatic transmissions connects to one of the vehicle axle half shafts. The automatic transmission is provided therein with an input shaft, an intermediate shaft and an output shaft that are parallel, the input shaft, the intermediate shaft and the output shaft are provided thereon with multistage gears with different transmission ratios, the power source connects to the input shaft, and the output shaft connects to a left half shaft or a right half shaft of the vehicle axle half shaft. The present disclosure can realize transmission of two speed ratios, with flexible transmission modes, which shortens the axial size of the driving assembly, which cannot only satisfy the acceleration capability and climbing ability of the vehicle but also satisfy the demand on high vehicle speed.

VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS

A control apparatus for a vehicle provided, with a step-variable transmission, includes: a feedback control portion; an input torque resetting control portion; a target input torque setting portion operated upon an increase of the accelerator pedal operation amount in the process of the shift-down action in a power-off state of the vehicle, to restrict an amount of increase of the input torque target value with respect to an amount of increase of an operator-required input torque value, so as to keep the target value not larger than an upper limit value until termination of the input torque resetting control; and an actual input torque increasing portion operated upon the increase of the accelerator pedal operation amount prior to initiation of the inertia phase, to implement an input torque increasing control to control the input torque so as to be larger than the target value, prior to the inertia phase initiation.

ENGINE UPPER-PORTION STRUCTURE OF SADDLE RIDING VEHICLE
20200102883 · 2020-04-02 ·

In an engine, a cylinder block and a cylinder head are connected with a crankcase in a forwardly inclined posture. A dual clutch connects or disconnects a transmission path of power of the engine to a transmission. An actuator chamber houses an actuator that controls a hydraulic pressure of the dual clutch. The actuator chamber is disposed on an upper surface of the cylinder block at a position posterior to the cylinder head and anterior to the crankcase in a vehicle longitudinal direction.

Lockable wheel actuator disengagement system on an aircraft landing gear
10589847 · 2020-03-17 · ·

A landing gear (0) for an aircraft comprising a wheel (R), a system (1) for rotationally driving the wheel that is mobile between a clutched position and a safety position by passing through a declutched position, and a manoeuvring system (3) to displace the driving system (1) between its declutched and clutched positions. The gear comprises an elastic return (4) for returning the driving system (1) to its safety position and first and second abutments (51a, 52a) that are separated as long as the driving system (1) is away from its safety position and in contact with one another when the driving system (1) is in safety position. The first and second abutments (51a, 52a) oppose the passing of the driving system (1) from its safety position to its declutched position when the abutments are in contact with one another.

Starting control device for vehicle and starting control method

A vehicle is provided with a mechanical oil pump (O/P) that is driven by a motor/generator (MG), an electric oil pump (M/O/P) that is driven by a sub-motor (S/M) and a second clutch (CL2) that transmits the drive force of the motor/generator (MG) to left and right drive wheels (LT, RT). When an accelerator pedal is depressed while a brake pedal is still depressed, an integrated controller (10) drives the electric oil pump (M/O/P) before the brake pedal is released, and oil pressure supplied to the second clutch (CL2) is increased.
