Abstract
Abstract Control for the automatic locking of the transfer transmission of a motor vehicle equipped with a multi-axle drive, having a wheel slip control system for the wheels of one axle and having an electronic unit that carries out a comparison of a quantity determined from the steering angle and the rotational speed difference of the wheels of the other axle that characterizes the moving condition of the motor vehicle with a limit value assigned to the steering angle and the driving speed. Control signal for the lock of the transfer transmission is generated when a control signal of the wheel slip control system is present or the quantity characterizing the moving condition of the motor vehicle exceeds the limit value.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
Control for an automatic locking of the transfer transmission of a motor vehicle equipped with a multi-axle drive as a function of a quantity characterizing the moving condition signal including the steering angle and the driving speed, of the motor vehicle comprising: a wheel slip control means for generating control signals to control, via braking torque regulators, the wheel brakes of an axle and, via an engine torque regulator, the power control element of the engine; and an OR-gate means for receiving the quantity characterizing the moving condition signal and the control signals for the wheel brakes and the power control element and for generating an output signal, which is the locking signal, led to the transfer transmission lock, for the presence of any received signal in addition to wheel slip control by said wheel slip control means.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
119 words
A control for an automatic locking of the transfer transmission of a motor vehicle equipped with multi-axle drive comprising: first means for monitoring the steering angle and driving speed of said motor vehicle and generating a first lock control signal; second means for monitoring the speed of the wheels of said vehicle and generating antislip control signals, including brake torque control signals to activate a brake and engine torque control signals to reduce engine torque; and logic means for receiving said first lock control signal and said antislip control signals and for providing a second lock control signal to said lock of said transfer transmission when a control signal is present in addition to antislip control by second means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
119 words
A control for an automatic locking of the transfer transmission of a motor vehicle equipped with multi-axle drive comprising: first means for monitoring the steering angle and driving speed of said motor vehicle and generating a first lock control signal; second means for monitoring the speed of the wheels of said vehicle and generating antislip control signals, including brake torque control signals to activate a brake and engine torque control signals to reduce engine torque; and logic means for receiving said first lock control signal and said antislip control signals and for providing a second lock control signal to said lock of said transfer transmission when a control signal is present in addition to antislip control by second means.
