Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile transmission, and in particular to a variant CR-CR gear mechanism nine-speed automatic transmission and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] The automatic transmission is a core component of automatic transmission vehicles, and its performance directly impacts the vehicle's drivability and safety. The complexity of the automatic transmission's structure and its importance to the vehicle's shifting function have made it a hot topic of research within the automotive industry and academia.

[0003] Generally speaking, the more gears an automatic transmission has, the smoother the shifts, the less shift shock, and the lower fuel consumption. Clearly, multi-speed automatic transmissions will be the future trend, but currently, most automatic transmissions on the market have between four and eight gears, with nine-speed automatic transmissions relatively scarce. Furthermore, existing nine-speed transmissions often utilize multiple (generally four or more) clutches or brakes, making shift control relatively complex.

[0004] In addition, with the development of the automobile industry and people's increasing pursuit of automobile comfort, automatic transmissions, in addition to meeting basic speed shifting requirements, should also meet new requirements such as smaller structural size, larger speed ratio range and stable step ratio, which the existing nine-speed transmissions are difficult to fully meet.

[0051] The present invention provides a first planetary gear row 1, a second planetary gear row 2, a third planetary gear row 3 and a fourth planetary gear row 4 as well as three clutches and three brakes installed in sequence, thereby overcoming the problems of the relative lack of existing nine-speed automatic transmissions, or the existing nine-speed transmissions that use four or more clutches or brakes, have relatively complex speed control, are large in size, and are not stable enough.

[0052] The present invention provides a variant CR-CR gear mechanism nine-speed automatic transmission, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a transmission housing 9 and an input shaft 7, an output shaft 8, a planetary gear set, a coupling member set and a torque transmission set installed inside the transmission housing 9.

The first planetary gear row 1 includes a first ring gear 101, a first planetary gear 102, a first planetary carrier 103 and a first sun gear 104. The first sun gear 104 and the first planetary gear 102 are externally meshed for transmission, and the first planetary gear 102 and the first ring gear 101 are internally meshed for transmission.

[0054] The connecting member group includes a first connecting member 601, a second connecting member 602, a third connecting member 603, a fourth connecting member 604, and a fifth connecting member 605.

[0055] The torque transmission group includes a first brake 504, a second brake 505, and a third brake 506 fixed to the transmission housing 9, and a first clutch 501, a second clutch 502, and a third clutch 503 respectively connected to the input shaft 7. The first clutch 501 interconnects the input shaft 7 with the first sun gear 104, and the second clutch 502 interconnects the input shaft 7 with the first ring gear 101; the third clutch 503 interconnects the input shaft 7 with the third planetary carrier 303, the first brake 504 interconnects the second planetary carrier 203 with the transmission housing 9, the second brake 505 interconnects the second ring gear 201 with the transmission housing 9, and the third brake 506 interconnects the fourth sun gear 404 with the transmission housing 9.

[0056] Through the first clutch 501, the power of the input shaft 7 can be transmitted to the first sun gear 104; through the second clutch 502, the power of the input shaft 7 can be transmitted to the first ring gear 101; through the third clutch 503, the power of the output shaft 8 can be transmitted to the third planetary carrier 303, thereby driving the third planetary gear 302 to rotate.

[0058] The present invention provides a variant CR-CR gear mechanism nine-speed automatic transmission, which uses a planetary gear train with four planetary gear rows. Its structural layout is clear, and it also adopts a novel structural form that connects the internal components of the first three planetary rows (first row planet carrier, second row sun gear, third row ring gear) as an integral whole. While meeting the requirements for gear number adjustment, its structure is more compact, its volume is smaller, and it has stronger movement stability and longer service life.

[0059] The present invention provides a variant CR-CR gear mechanism nine-speed automatic transmission, which adopts the form of a combination of planetary gear rows with single planetary gears. The manufacturing process is mature, and the control of each gear position only requires the combination of three control elements (clutches or brakes). Shifting between adjacent gear positions only requires the replacement of a pair of torque transmission components to engage and disengage, making the control simple.

[0060] The present invention provides a variant CR-CR gear mechanism nine-speed automatic transmission, which adopts a compact and reasonable structure and arrangement of four planetary gear rows, and can achieve a relatively large speed ratio range and stable step ratio between gears.

[0061] like Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides a variant CR-CR gear mechanism nine-speed automatic transmission, and establishes an equivalent lever diagram. In order to facilitate the analysis of the speed ratio of the reducer, the equivalent lever diagram is a common tool for speed reducer performance analysis. It is separately proposed here to illustrate how the speed ratio in the last Table 1 is obtained. Among them, according to the structural characteristics of the variant CR-CR gear mechanism nine-speed automatic transmission of the present invention, the planetary gear row is converted into a lever and three fulcrums, and the three fulcrums represent the planet carrier P, the sun gear S and the ring gear R, respectively. In the first planetary gear row 1, P1 is the first planet carrier 103, S1 is the first sun gear 104, and R1 is the first ring gear 101; in the second planetary gear row 2, P2 is the second planet carrier 203, S2 is the second sun gear 204, and R2 is the second ring gear 201; in the third planetary gear row 3, P3 is the third planet carrier 303, S3 is the third sun gear 304, and R3 is the third ring gear 301; in the fourth planetary gear row 4, P4 is the fourth planet carrier 403, S4 is the fourth sun gear 404, and R4 is the fourth ring gear 401.

[0062] The transmission ratio can be adjusted by setting the K value of the first planetary gear row 1 to K1, the K value of the second planetary gear row 2 to K2, the K value of the third planetary gear row 3 to K3, and the K value of the fourth planetary gear row 4 to K4. The K value represents a characteristic parameter of the planetary gear row, that is, the transmission coefficient among the sun gear, planet gears, and ring gear within the same planetary gear row.

[0063] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the distance from the first ring gear 101 to the first planet carrier 103 is g, and the distance from the first sun gear 104 to the first planet carrier 103 is h, K1 = g / h; the distance from the second ring gear 201 to the second planet carrier 203 is e, and the distance from the second sun gear 204 to the second planet carrier 203 is f, K2 = e / f; the distance from the third ring gear 301 to the third planet carrier 303 is c, and the distance from the third sun gear 304 to the third planet carrier 303 is d, K3 = c / d; the distance from the fourth ring gear 401 to the fourth planet carrier 403 is a, and the distance from the fourth sun gear 404 to the fourth planet carrier 403 is b, K4 = a / b.

According to the table below, the specific transmission ratio is adjusted by adjusting the K values ​​of the first planetary gear row 1, the second planetary gear row 2, the third planetary gear row 3, and the fourth planetary gear row 4.

[0075]

[0076] In the present invention, in order to enhance stability, the first planetary gear row 1 , the second planetary gear row 2 , the third planetary gear row 3 and the fourth planetary gear row 4 are disposed between the input shaft 7 and the output shaft 8 .

[0077] In order to further enhance stability, the distance between the first planetary gear row 1 and the second planetary gear row 2, the distance between the second planetary gear row 2 and the third planetary gear row 3, and the distance between the third planetary gear row 3 and the fourth planetary gear row 4 are kept consistent. The planetary gears evenly distributed at equal distances can reduce the possible influence of axial deflection during long-term operation and enhance stability. In addition, combined with the connecting member group, the first connecting member 601 interconnects the first ring gear 101 and the second ring gear 201, the second connecting member 602 interconnects the first planet carrier 103 and the second sun gear 204, the third connecting member 603 interconnects the second sun gear 204 and the third ring gear 301, the fourth connecting member 604 interconnects the third planet carrier 303 and the fourth ring gear 401, and the fifth connecting member 605 interconnects the third sun gear 304 and the fourth sun gear 404. The connecting members of the planetary gear rows make the multiple planetary gear rows form a relatively complete whole, reducing the mutual influence between the planetary rows, thereby enhancing stability.

[0078] In order to ensure smooth movement of the planetary gears, the first planetary gear 102 is rotatably supported on the first planetary carrier 103 through rolling bearings or sliding bearings, the second planetary gear 202 is rotatably supported on the second planetary carrier 203 through rolling bearings or sliding bearings, the third planetary gear 302 is rotatably supported on the third planetary carrier 303 through rolling bearings or sliding bearings, and the fourth planetary gear 402 is rotatably supported on the fourth planetary carrier 403 through rolling bearings or sliding bearings.

[0079] In the present invention, the first clutch 501 , the second clutch 502 and the third clutch 503 are multi-plate wet clutches or dog clutches.

[0080] In the present invention, the first brake 504 , the second brake 505 and the third brake 506 are drum brakes or multi-disc wet brakes.

[0081] In the present invention, the power of the input shaft 7 is provided by the engine.

[0082] The present invention also provides a car using any one of the variant CR-CR gear mechanisms of the nine-speed automatic transmission.
