An improved design of power-cycling hydrodynamic mechanical transmission

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Recent studies have demonstrated that the power-cycling hydrodynamic mechanical (PCHM) transmission has excellent performance in improving power performance and fuel economy of a wheel loader. However, these results have been obtained by assuming that its speed ratio can always change continuously. Hence, this study first investigated the speed ratio of the transmission how to change when shifting from one gear to another. It was found that the concept of the PCHM transmission suggested in the literature is ineffective, even for a configuration with two gears in the gearbox. Then, the configuration of the PCHM transmission was developed as a different one to increase the torque multiplication capacity and efficiency of the transmission. A design method for this transmission is proposed to quantify its performances. The design method is based on a multi-objective optimization problem which is comprised of two objectives, seven design variables and eleven constraints.
The relationships between average efficiency of the transmission and maximum tractive force of the vehicle and the seven transmission parameters are qualitatively examined. Results show that the performance of the transmission depends mainly on the number of transmission gears instead of on three parameters of the torque converter. The average efficiency is not sensitive to the maximum tractive force on a globally optimal Pareto front. The PCHM transmission with the new configuration can enable the average efficiency and the maximum tractive force to increase by 2.1 % and by 6.6 %, compared to that of the traditional hydrodynamic mechanical transmission, respectively.
