20090048065 | DRIVE TRAIN AS WELL AS A METHOD OF OPERATING A HYRAULIC PUMP OF A DRIVE TRAIN - A method of operating a hydraulic pump of a drive train of a motor vehicle having a transmission with a hydrodynamic torque converter and a engine, with the input speed of the hydraulic pump being adjusted depending on the speed of the engine. The input speed of the hydraulic pump is adjusted depending on the pump speed of the torque converter, which corresponds to the speed of the engine and depends on the turbine speed of the torque converter, such that when the pump speed of the torque converter is higher than the turbine speed of the same, the hydraulic pump is operated at a speed higher than the speed of the engine. When the turbine speed of the torque converter and the pump speed of the same equalize, the excessive increase in the input speed of the hydraulic pump is reduced in relation to the speed of the engine. | 02-19-2009 |
20090107289 | MULTI-GROUP TRANSMISSION AND METHOD FOR CHANGING GEAR IN A MULTI-GROUP TRANSMISSION - An automated multi-group standard transmission, for a utility vehicle, and a process for changing gears in the multi-group transmission. The multi-group transmission includes at least two multi-speed transmission groups arranged one after the other, such that a multitude of gears can be shifted. A transmission input shaft that can be connected to an engine, via a startup element, is associated with a first transmission group and a second transmission main shaft is associated with a second transmission group. Load shifting mechanisms produce a temporary direct connection between the transmission input shaft and the transmission main shaft such that an intermediate gear can be shifted during a gear change from an original gear into a target gear. The load shifting mechanism enables gear changes that are virtually free of interruptions in load transfer during a gear change from a lower to a higher gear, thus increasing a high operational comfort. | 04-30-2009 |
