Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/104449
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A speed-changing device is capable of enhancing energy efficiency in all speed ranges from a low-speed to a high-speed range, and the device has no torque interruption so that operability is improved. The speed-changing device has an input shaft (3), an intermediate output shaft (8), a planetary gear mechanism (9), a first pump/motor (7), and a second pump/motor (15) connected to the first pump/motor (7). The input shaft (3) is connected to a first element (planetary carrier (12)) of the planetary gear mechanism (9), the second pump/motor (15) is connected to a second element (sun gear (19)) of the planetary gear mechanism (9), the intermediate output shaft (8)is connected to a third element (ring gear (16)) of the planetary gear mechanism (9), and a switching mechanism (syncromesh mechanism (6)) selectively connecting the first pump/motor (7) to either the input shaft (3) or the intermediate output shaft (8).
