Abstract

In a claw-type gearshift, a blocking ring is arranged axially between a hub body having a sliding sleeve and a clutch body such that it is rotatable between a release position and two locking positions. The blocking ring is adapted to be displaced toward the clutch body until conical friction surfaces on the blocking ring and on the clutch body come into contact. The blocking ring constitutes a form-locking blockade for the sliding sleeve against displacement of the sliding sleeve teeth between the clutch body teeth when an axial shifting force is applied in the non-synchronized state. When the claw clutch is shifted, a difference in speed between the clutch body and the hub body is reduced and the sliding sleeve is deflected in the axial direction toward the speed change gear to be shifted, as a result of which a friction surface of the blocking ring and a mating friction surface of the clutch body come into contact.

Abstract

A claw-type gearshift has a sliding sleeve which is adapted to be axially displaced on a hub body and a clutch body of a speed change gear. The hub body has at least one thrust piece arranged thereon which includes a friction surface that cooperates with a mating friction surface on the clutch body, the at least one thrust piece being displaceable in the circumferential direction between a release position and two locking positions that are located on either side of the release position. A first locking structure on the at least one thrust piece cooperates with a second locking structure on the internal toothing of the sliding sleeve. The locking structures are configured such that in each of the locking positions, the locking structures rest against each other such that a further axial movement of the sliding sleeve is blocked. For shifting a gear, a difference in speed between the clutch body and the hub body is reduced.

Abstract

In a claw-type gearshift, a blocking ring is arranged axially between a hub body having a sliding sleeve and a clutch body such that it is rotatable between a release position and two locking positions. The blocking ring is adapted to be displaced toward the clutch body until friction surfaces on the blocking ring and on the clutch body come into contact. The blocking ring constitutes a form-locking blockade for the sliding sleeve against displacement of the sliding sleeve teeth between the clutch body teeth when an axial shifting force is applied in the non-synchronized state. When the claw clutch is shifted, a difference in speed between the clutch body and the hub body is reduced and the sliding sleeve is deflected in the axial direction toward the speed change gear to be shifted, causing a friction surface of the blocking ring and a mating friction surface of the clutch body to come into contact. The blocking ring switches over in the circumferential direction into one of two possible locking positions, locking the sliding sleeve.

Abstract

A hydraulic level-adjustment device has a reservoir, a reversible hydraulic unit with a hydraulic pump, and a single-acting hydraulic linear actuator. To lift a vehicle chassis, the working space of the linear actuator can be pressurized by the hydraulic pump operated in its first pumping direction via its first pump connection and a fill line with a fill-check valve arranged therein. To lower the chassis, via its second pump connection, the hydraulic pump, operated in the reverse pumping direction, pumps hydraulic fluid into the reservoir via an outflow line with a throttle unit arranged therein. The pressure present upstream of the throttle unit acts on the control connection of a lockable, drainage-check valve via a control line and opens same, so that, under the weight of the motor vehicle, hydraulic fluid is forced out of the working space of the hydraulic linear actuator into the reservoir via the drainage line.

A synchronizer (10) for a gear transmission has a synchronizer body (12), which is associated to a transmission shaft, and a first and a second synchronizer ring (32, 34, 36, 38) which are associated to a first and a second transmission gear (28, 30). Furthermore, the synchronizer (10) has a sliding sleeve (26) and at least one thrust piece (18) which is shiftably arranged on the synchronizer body (12) and can exert an axial compressive force on the corresponding synchronizer ring (32, 34, 36, 38). Furthermore, the synchronizer (10) includes an elastic actuating element (20) which is active between the sliding sleeve (26) and the thrust piece (18), wherein on the sliding sleeve (26) a detent recess (50) for the neutral position as well as a release contour (54) are provided. The release contour (54) can cooperate with the actuating element (20) such that when the sliding sleeve (26) is shifted for being engaged with one of the transmission gears (28, 30), the thrust piece (18) is urged away from the corresponding synchronizer ring (32, 34, 36, 38). The release contour (54) has an axial length which is not more than twice the idle stroke of the sliding sleeve (26) between the neutral position and the position in which the corresponding synchronizer ring (32, 34, 36, 38) presses against an associated friction surface.

Abstract

A hydraulic level-adjustment device (8) is assigned to at least one wheel suspension (4) in a motor vehicle chassis (1). The level-adjustment device comprises a reservoir (16), a reversible hydraulic unit (12) with a hydraulic pump (15), the pump connections (13, 14) of which are connected to the reservoir via a shuttle valve (18), and a single-acting hydraulic linear actuator (11). To lift the chassis (1), the working space (10) of the linear actuator (11) can be pressurized by the hydraulic pump (15) operated in its first pumping direction (A) via its first pump connection (13) and by a fill line (19) with a fill-check valve (20) arranged therein. To lower the chassis (1), via its second pump connection (14), the hydraulic pump (15), operated in the reverse pumping direction (B), pumps hydraulic fluid into the reservoir (16) via an outflow line (22) with a throttle unit (24) arranged therein. The pressure present upstream of the throttle unit (24) thereby acts on the control connection (26) of a lockable, drainage-check valve (27) via a control line (25) and opens same, so that, under the weight of the motor vehicle (2), hydraulic fluid is forced out of the working space (10) of the hydraulic linear actuator (11) into the reservoir (16) via the drainage line (28).

Abstract

A synchronization device for a manual transmission has a sliding sleeve (112), which has an inner toothing with a plurality of sliding sleeve teeth (118), and a coupling body of a gear wheel, which has an outer toothing with a plurality of coupling body teeth (120), into which the inner toothing of the sliding sleeve (112) can engage. The invention relates to a synchronization unit which is designed to block an axial movement of the sliding sleeve (112), the coupling body teeth (120) having no oblique meshing portion at the axial tooth end (130) close to the sliding sleeve teeth (118). During shifting, the rotational speed of the sliding sleeve (112) and that of the coupling body are adjusted to each other. An axial force (F) of the sliding sleeve against the coupling body builds up and a rotational speed difference between the sliding sleeve (112) and the coupling body is produced so that the end faces (136, 134) of the sliding sleeve teeth (118) and of the coupling body teeth (120) glide along each other, and the sliding sleeve teeth (118) eventually mesh with the coupling body teeth (120).

Abstract

The invention relates to a cooled heat-withdrawing channel (11) which runs elongated in the cylinder head, adjoins the pressure valve, and has a slot-like cross-section. The smaller dimension of the heat-withdrawing channel is delimited by two separately manufactured components (1, 2) that do not form the heat-withdrawing channel (1) until assembled. Therefore, the cross-section of the heat-withdrawing channel (11) can be produced easily and can basically be designed to have any thickness, thus achieving excellent cooling of the pressurized gas.
