WORK MACHINE
Lubricating performance of a parking brake is ensured and fuel efficiency during traveling is improved. A parking brake for braking rotation of an output shaft is disposed around the output shaft rotated by driving force. The output shaft is provided with an axial oil passage, a first discharge hole, and a second discharge hole. The axial oil passage extends in an axial direction of the output shaft. The first discharge hole and the second discharge hole communicate with the axial oil passage and open in an outer circumferential surface of the output shaft at an installation position of the parking brake in the axial direction.
Parking Brake for an Electric Vehicle With Multi-Speed Gearbox
A commercial vehicle with at least one driven axle, at least one service brake, at least one propulsion engine, and wheels characterized in that the parking brake function of the vehicle is solved by a bistable locking means acting on both wheels. At least one multi-speed gearbox is provided to concurrently activate a first gear stage and a second gear stage having different ratios.
Vehicle control device
A parking brake control device is a control device for a vehicle used in a vehicle on which a shift by wire system and an electric parking brake system are mounted. A function of automatically operating an electric parking brake without an operation of the driver of the vehicle is referred to as an EPB automatic operation function, and a request by the driver for disabling the EPB automatic operation function is referred to as a disabling request. The parking brake control device includes a disabling determination part configured to determine a presence or absence of the disabling request, a vehicle stop determination part configured to determine whether the vehicle is stopped, a slope determination part configured to determine whether the vehicle is located on a slope, and an EPB automatic operation part. The EPB automatic operation part operates the electric parking brake when the vehicle is stopped on the slope even if the disabling request is made.
Parking lock and a transmission having the parking lock
A parking lock for a transmission of a motor vehicle may include a park gear rotatable about an axis of rotation, and an actuation device adjustable into a locking position and an unlocking position radially relative to the axis of rotation. In the unlocking position, rotating of the park gear may be possible, and in the locking position, rotating of the park gear may be prevented by way of positive locking. The actuation device may include a shifting drum and a locking lever, wherein the shifting drum may be rotatable about a guiding axis that is radial relative to the axis of rotation. The locking lever, by way of a guide track formed in the shifting drum, may interact with the guide track so that when the shifting drum is rotated, the locking lever may be guidable by the guide track radially relative to the axis of rotation and parallel to the guiding axis, and thereby the actuation device may be adjustable into the locking position and into the unlocking position.
Park system for dual motor drive unit
A drive unit includes a first electric machine including a first machine shaft, a second electric machine including a second machine shaft, and a differential interconnecting the first electric machine and the second electric machine. The differential includes a park gear. The drive unit further includes a single park system configured to engage the park gear of the differential to simultaneously stop rotation of both the first electric machine and the second electric machine. The park system includes a single pawl movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The pawl is spaced apart from the park gear of the differential in the disengaged position to allow the park gear to rotate. The single pawl is in contact with the park gear of the differential in the engaged position to preclude rotation of the park gear.
Power control system with clutch braking function
A control system for operating a work vehicle powertrain includes an engine configured to generate power for an output shaft. The control system includes a transmission positioned operatively between the engine and the output shaft and configured to selectively transfer the power along a power flow path between the engine and the output shaft. The transmission includes an input shaft; at least one intermediate shaft; at least one directional clutch; and intermediate clutches configured for selective engagement to transfer power between the at least one intermediate shaft and the output shaft. A controller is configured to receive a vehicle stop request to stop the work vehicle; implement, upon receiving the vehicle stop request, a clutch braking function; and generate, upon the implementation of the clutch braking function, clutch commands to engage at least two of the intermediate clutches selected such that the output shaft is slowed and stopped.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE MOTOR DEVICE
A hydraulic brake motor device, including a motor positioning, installation and driving portion, a motor body meshing pair portion, and a motor brake device portion. A shuttle valve is integrated inside the hydraulic brake motor device and configured to relieve pressure inside the motor brake device portion. The shuttle valve includes two separate functional parts of check valves.
Brake System for a Motor Vehicle and Method for Operating the Brake System
A brake system for a motor vehicle and a method for operating the brake system. The brake system comprises a braking assembly; a drive mechanism operatively connected to the braking assembly; and an electric motor assembly operatively connected to the drive mechanism, wherein the braking assembly, the drive mechanism and the electric motor assembly are configured to be located outside a wheel rim of a vehicle wheel of the motor vehicle and inside a frame body of the motor vehicle, and the drive mechanism is configured to be driven by the electric motor assembly to selectively enable the braking assembly to generate a braking force, by which an associated rotatable shaft of the motor vehicle can be stopped to rotate, while the motor vehicle is in motion.
Engine control module park lock solenoid control for hybrid transmission
Non-inverted park lock systems and methods include an engine controller configured to control an engine of a vehicle in communication with a separate transmission controller via a controller area network (CAN), wherein the transmission controller is configured to control a transmission of the vehicle; and a conductor connecting the engine controller to a park lock solenoid disposed in the transmission and configured to move a park pawl to engage/disengage park. The engine controller keeps the park pawl disengaged from park during a power loss malfunction at the transmission controller and the transmission controller keeps the park pawl disengaged from park during a power loss malfunction at the engine controller by maintaining hydraulic pressure in the transmission at a threshold level until park is requested via the shifter.
MACHINE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
An embodiment relates to a machine including a prime mover, a drive pulley, a chassis, a subframe, a drive device, a drive belt, and a pulley arrangement. The drive pulley is coupled to the prime mover. The chassis is configured to support at least an operator and the prime mover. The subframe is pivotally coupled to the chassis about a pivot axis. The subframe is further coupled to the chassis via a suspension device. The drive device is configured to drive wheels of the machine. The drive device is configured to be driven by the prime mover. The pulley arrangement is configured to direct the drive belt from the drive pulley to a driven pulley on the drive device. The pulley arrangement comprises at least one idler pulley having a diameter and a rotational axis.
