The application discloses a
brake gear control method and device of a hydraulic transmission, and belongs to the technical field of hydraulic transmission. The hydraulic transmission comprises an input shaft, an output shaft, four planetary rows and a plurality of brakes. The control method comprises the following steps: in response to a
brake gear instruction, the second
brake and the third brake are controlled to be combined at the same time; under the brake gear, the sun gear, the
planet carrier and the ring gear of the second planetary row and the third planetary row are locked, and then the sun gear, the
planet carrier and the ring gear of the fourth planetary row are locked through mechanical connection, so as to lock the output shaft; at the same time, the sun gear, the
planet carrier and the ring gear of the first planetary row are in a freely rotatable state, so as to allow the power from the input shaft to idle in the first planetary row. Through specific brake combination control, the application can rigidly lock the output shaft under the engine
idle speed state, and fundamentally solves the safety hidden trouble and operation difficulty problem caused by the no-load gear phenomenon in the prior art.
