A drive system for a hybrid vehicle having an internal combustion engine includes an electric motor and a clutch device which has a frictional locking element and a positive locking element that is connected parallel to the frictional locking element. The clutch device is configured to couple the internal combustion engine into the drive system and to be switched into at least the following states: a) open positive locking element and closed frictional locking element when starting and/or synchronization of the internal combustion engine, b) closed positive locking element and closed frictional locking element or closed positive locking element and open frictional locking element when the internal combustion engine is running and synchronized such that an internal combustion engine drive output action is generated, and c) open positive locking element and open frictional locking element when the internal combustion engine is stopped such that purely electric motor drive of the vehicle is provided.

A dog clutch having two clutch members provided with claws or teeth, one of which is movable, as well as a positioning device for engaging and disengaging the clutch by a positioning movement of the movable clutch member. In order to establish a proper engaging of the dog clutch, a sensor is arranged along the movement path of the movable clutch member, which detects the movement of the clutch member into the engaged state, while the clutch member is provided with an activating contour which, upon engaging the clutch, moves past the sensor, which is preferably an electromagnetic actuator for holding the movable clutch member in the disengaged state of the clutch.

A clutch unit for a powertrain of a motor vehicle is disclosed, comprising a torque input component acting as a drive element and a torque output component acting as an output element, which can be connected to transmit a torque to the torque input component through a clutch which can be switched through friction elements, the clutch having two partial clutches by which the torque input component and the torque output component can be connected so as to transmit a torque, in which one of the two partial clutches is configured as a positive-fit clutch and the other of the two partial clutches is configured as a friction clutch. In addition, the disclosure relates to a hybrid module with a first drive machine the output shaft of which can be connected through such a clutch unit to an output shaft of a second drive machine or a transmission input shaft.

Under the condition that the rotation speed of a first rotating shaft is higher than that of a second rotating shaft, supported portions go through right-handed helical flutes to perform an engaging operation. Under the condition that the rotation speed of the first rotating shaft is lower than that of the second rotating shaft, the supported portions go through left-handed helical flutes to perform the engaging operation. In a releasing operation, the supported portions go through the right-handed helical flutes to release a clutch mechanism under the condition that the rotation speed of the first rotating shaft is lower than that of the second rotating shaft, and the supported portions go through the left-handed helical flutes to release the clutch mechanism under the condition that the rotation speed of the first rotating shaft is higher than that of the second rotating shaft.

A transmission includes a gear train, a transmission shaft driven by the gear train, a transmission casing incorporating the gear train and the transmission shaft, an axle driven by the gear train, a power take-off (PTO) unit attached to the transmission casing, and a parking brake. The transmission shaft and the axle are extended parallel to each other. The PTO unit includes a PTO input shaft, a PTO shaft, and a PTO drive train transmitting power from the PTO input shaft to the PTO shaft. The PTO input shaft is connected coaxially to the transmission shaft so as to receive power from the transmission shaft. The parking brake is provided on the transmission shaft or the PTO input shaft.

A power transmission device is provided to provide a 6 forward and 1 reverse transmission capable of smoothly performing 6 forward and 1 reverse or 4 forward and 1 reverse shifting. The power transmission device includes: a first shift input unit in which a reverse clutch and a first shift high clutch are provided at both ends and a first shift low gear is installed to be constrained by a first shift one-way gearing in one direction so that a driving force from a power input unit is transmitted thereto; a firs shift output unit to which a driving force from the first shift input unit is transmitted; a reverse input gear unit to which a reverse driving force from the first shift input unit is transmitted; a second shift input unit in which a second shift middle clutch is provided at one side end and a second shift low gear is installed to be constrained by a second shift one-way bearing in one direction so that a driving force from the first shift output unit is transmitted thereto; a forward idle gear unit connected to and installed at the first shift output unit and the second shift input unit to transmit a driving force from the first shift output unit to the second shift input unit; and a second shift output unit installed so that a reverse driving force by the reverse input gear unit and a forward driving force by the second shift input unit are transmitted thereto.

A dynamic controllable dog clutch (DCDC) includes a pocket plate, a notch plate, and a linear actuator having a stator and a translator. The translator is axially movable between (i) an engaged position in which a locking member axially extends through the a pocket of the pocket plate and engages a notch of the notch plate to thereby mechanically couple the pocket plate and the notch plate together to prevent relative rotation of the pocket plate and the notch plate with respect to each other about a common rotational axis and (ii) a disengaged position in which the locking member is disengaged from the notch of the notch plate to thereby mechanically decouple the pocket plate and the notch plate together to enable relative rotation of the pocket plate and the notch plate with respect to each other about the common rotational axis.

A shifting group for a drive train of a motor vehicle for coupling and decoupling a drive shaft of a drive train as required, with an actuator for actuating a blocking element, a selector rod and a selector fork which is connected to the selector rod. The first drive shaft and the second drive shaft are arranged coaxially with respect to one another, the blocking element blocks an axial displacement of the selector rod in a first switching position and enables said axial displacement in a second switching position, the selector fork engages into a groove of one of the drive shafts, an actuation of the shifting group brings about an axial displacement of a drive shaft, and a clutch between the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft is opened or closed by way of the axial displacement of the selector fork.

An engine transmission is provided with an interference member that is configured to interfere with one of a low-gear clutch sleeve and a high-gear clutch sleeve so that when one of the low-gear clutch sleeve and the high-gear clutch sleeve is at an engagement position, the other one of the low-gear clutch sleeve and the high-gear clutch sleeve cannot move to an engagement position.

A trailer for towing a power vehicle with a towable frame forming an undercarriage chassis and a tandem wheel assembly positioned under the undercarriage chassis. The tandem wheel assembly having a first wheel assembly, a second wheel assembly and an extension assembly moving the second wheel assembly along a longitudinal axis of the chassis between trailing position and self-propelled position, with the first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly are positioned to support the undercarriage chassis.
