Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a drive for an electric clutch if a winch. The drive comprises a pusher block having a first end, a second end, and a transmission component arranged on a central portion of the pusher block to drive a transmission shaft; a first driving unit connected to the first end to drive the first end to reciprocate between a first position and a second position; and a second driving unit connected to the second end to drive the second end to reciprocate between a third position and a fourth position. The drive enables switching of the transmission shaft between a high speed mode, a low speed mode, and an idle mode. A winch including the drive is also disclosed.

A system includes a first transmission having a first planetary gearset, a first drive shaft, and a first annular sleeve. The first annular sleeve is positioned circumferentially about the first drive shaft, and the first annular sleeve is configured to move axially relative to the first drive shaft and the first planetary gearset from a first axial position in which the first annular sleeve engages a first sun gear of the first planetary gearset to a second axial position in which the first annular sleeve engages a first ring gear of the first planetary gearset to adjust a gear ratio of the first transmission.

Method for controlling an electric actuation assembly (1), the method comprising the following steps:

applying a plurality of known first output forces and recording a plurality of first input intensities for a first movement direction of the output;

establishing, by interpolation, a first characteristic function;

applying a plurality of second known output torques and recording (2) a plurality of second input currents for a second movement direction of the output opposite to the first direction;

establishing, by interpolation, a second characteristic function;

establishing, on the basis of the first characteristic function, the second characteristic function, a magnetic constant of the motor (11) and a reduction ratio of a gearbox (12), and a control correction coefficient;

controlling the actuation assembly (1) by applying the control correction coefficient.

A winch includes a power mechanism motor or a hydraulic motor, a transmission, a winding drum, a brake, a machine frame and a sensor. The transmission, the winding drum, the brake, the machine frame and the sensor are arranged in the winding drum. A driving shaft penetrates through a central hole of a central sun gear of each planetary gear. A clutch gear shifter is arranged between each planetary gear stage, the last planetary gear stage and the winding drum. The clutch gear shifter is connected with a power input side planetary gear rack and a power output side central sun gear during neutral gear. The driving unit drives the execution unit tubular member to move to the right side, and the clutch is disconnected from the connection with the left planetary gear. The right driving shaft power output gear is combined with the central sun gear to complete gear shifting. The empty hook or light-load power mechanism directly drives the winding drum to rotate through the driving shaft.

A system for automatically switching between a high speed and a low speed state for rotating the drive shaft of a manual hoist.

The present invention provides methods and mechanisms to selectively fix or free a planetary carrier of a epicyclic gearbox, thereby allowing dual modal operation of the gearbox and facilitating selective operation of a device, such as a winch, having capacity to safely and efficiently operate in a high load heavy lifting utility mode and a low load light lifting personnel mode.
