This invention is directed toward a powertrain for a road cleaning vehicle. In particular, the powertrain includes a hydrostatic gearbox (34) having a casing (50) for directing power from a primary gearbox to a drivetrain and/or one or more road cleaning tools. The casing (50) comprises first and second sections (51, 52) and a plurality of passageways (107, 107) defined by the edges of both the first and second sections (51, 52). An input shaft is provided having an integral gear extending orthogonally therefrom and having an outer portion extending outside of the internal volume of the casing.

A module for use in connection with a dual pump apparatus, where each pump is hydraulically connected to a separate hydraulic motor. The module may include motors and/or an engine for ease of installation in a vehicle, providing flexibility for different applications. Various brackets, stabilizers and other elements are provided to assist in securing the module to the vehicle.

Method for engaging and disengaging a hydraulic motor which is adjustable in its displacement from and to a hydrostatic drive train of a hydromechanical transmission with a closed hydraulic fluid circuit. Two adjustable hydraulic motors and a hydraulic pump are arranged in parallel in the hydrostatic drive train and connected to a mechanical drive on the output side. At least one of the two hydraulic motors is connected to the mechanical drive via an assigned clutch. As appropriate to the driving situation, during operation of the other hydraulic motor and the hydraulic pump at least one of the hydraulic motors is engaged via the assigned clutch with the hydromechanical transmission from which the hydraulic motor was previously disengaged, likewise as appropriate to the driving situation. Before closing the clutch, the hydraulic motor to be engaged is accelerated load-free by deflecting its adjustment device in such a way that the rotational speed of an assigned clutch input shaft of the clutch is at least equal to the rotational speed of the clutch output shaft of the clutch which is connected to the mechanical gear. When the clutch is closed, both hydraulic motors act on a common output shaft of the mechanical gear.

The present invention provides a zero-steering hydraulic drive axle, which includes: a housing, and the housing is internally provided with a first drive assembly. One end of the first drive assembly is connected to an external power input device for power input, and the other end of the first drive assembly is connected to an external rotation output device. The first drive assembly includes: a plunger pump and a plunger motor. One end of the plunger pump is matched with the power input device, and the other end of the plunger pump is connected to an external oil pipe for oil feeding or supplementing. The plunger motor is matched with the rotation output device. The present invention is simple in overall structure, stable in power output, capable of realizing stepless speed change and pivot steering and turning, and wider in application scene range.

The disclosure relates to double provided power split transmission with a drive shaft, with a first branch comprising a planetary gear arrangement with two sun gears, a first ring gear and a planetary web, on which double planetary gears are arranged, which mesh with the sun gears and with the first ring gear, one of the sun gears being coupled to the drive shaft, with an adjustable second branch, which can be partially connected to the first branch via the planetary gear arrangement and has at least two hydraulic units which can be energetically coupled to one another and can be operated in each case in both directions as a motor or pump, and with an output shaft which can be coupled to the drive shaft via the first branch and the second branch, the planetary gear arrangement being provided with a planetary reversing gear is assigned.
