Abstract
Abstract A power divider gearbox including a planetary differential gear drive, comprising dual planetary gears which mesh with two sun gears having different diameters and with an internal ring gear, wherein the planetary differential gear drive divides the incoming power input transmitted to the power divider gearbox through an input shaft into a mechanical branch and into a hydraulic branch (displacement machine) and in which the last-mentioned branch is connected to the internal ring gear of the planetary differential gear drive.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
In a power divider gearbox having an input shaft and an output shaft and including a planetary differential gear drive comprising dual planetary pinions, two sun gears having different diameters and an internal ring gear meshing with said pinions, said planetary differential gear drive dividing the power transmitted to the power divider gearbox through the input shaft into a mechanical branch and a hydraulic branch, said hydraulic branch being connected to the internal ring gear; the improvement comprising: a first of said sun gears having a large diameter and being torsionally rigidly connected with the gearbox output shaft, and the second of said sun gears having a small diameter and being connected to the gearbox input shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
In a power divider gearbox having an input shaft and an output shaft and including a planetary differential gear drive comprising dual planetary pinions, two sun gears having different diameters and an internal ring gear meshing with said pinions, said planetary differential gear drive dividing the power transmitted to the power divider gearbox through the input shaft into a mechanical branch and a hydraulic branch, said hydraulic branch being connected to the internal ring gear; the improvement comprising: a first of said sun gears having a large diameter and being torsionally rigidly connected with the gearbox output shaft, and the second of said sun gears having a small diameter and being connected to the gearbox input shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
Power divider gearbox as claimed in claim 1, comprising a first displacement machine in said hydraulic branch being coupled with the internal ring gear and energetically coupled with at least two further output displacement machines being mechanically coupled to the output shaft of said gearbox.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
Power divider gearbox as claimed in claim 2, comprising at least one hydraulic high-pressure accumulator for connection to at least one of said displacement machines.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
Power divider gearbox as claimed in claim 2, wherein said output displacement machines are controlled independently of each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
Power divider gearbox as claimed in claim 1, said planetary differential gear drive including two cooperating shafts, and a clutch coupling for torsionally rigidly inter-connecting said two cooperating shafts of the planetary differential gear drive.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
Power divider gearbox as claimed in claim 1, comprising a free-wheeling arrangement located in said input shaft to facilitate the rotational speed of the input shaft to exceed the speed of a prime mover.
