Description

  The present invention relates to a multi-stage transmission that shifts power transmitted from a prime mover of a vehicle to an input member and transmits the power to an output member.

What is provided is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In such a multi-stage transmission, as the spread (gear ratio width = gear ratio of the lowest speed stage / gear ratio of the highest speed stage) is increased, the power transmission efficiency, that is, the fuel consumption of the vehicle on which the multi-stage transmission is mounted, etc. In addition, drivability, that is, acceleration performance of the vehicle can be further improved.

US Patent Application Publication No. 2012/0231917

  However, in the multi-stage transmission described in Patent Document 1, when the gear ratio of the lowest gear is 4.600 and the gear ratio of the highest gear is 0.638, the spread is 7.21 and the lowest When the gear ratio of the gear stage is 4.850 and the gear ratio of the highest gear stage is 0.616, the spread is 7.89. There is still room for improvement in terms of improving fuel economy and drivability. Further, in the multi-stage transmission described in Patent Document 1, the first planetary gear (reference numeral 14) having a particularly large diameter is formed when the forward second speed to the sixth speed and the forward eighth speed to the tenth speed are formed. ) Always rotates at a high rotation speed, the inertia during the rotation of the ring gear increases. For this reason, it takes time to engage the brake or clutch (shifting time becomes long), a shock is generated at the time of shifting involving the engagement of the brake, etc., and the durability of the friction material of the brake or clutch is It may decrease.

  Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to further improve the fuel consumption, drivability, speed change performance, and durability of the engagement element of a vehicle in which a multi-stage transmission is mounted.

Can be secured. As a result, in the multi-stage transmission according to the present invention, it becomes possible to further improve the fuel consumption, drivability, speed change performance, and durability of the engagement element of the vehicle in which the multi-stage transmission is mounted.

An increase in inertia during rotation (equivalent inertia with respect to the input shaft 20i) can be suppressed. Thereby, while shortening the time which engagement of each clutch C1-C4 and brake B1, B2 shortens, generation | occurrence | production of the shock at the time of the gear shift accompanying engagement of each clutch C1-C4 and brake B1, B2 is suppressed, Furthermore, it is possible to satisfactorily ensure the durability of the friction materials of the clutches C1 to C4 and the brakes B1 and B2, that is, the friction plates and the separator plates. In addition, by reducing the inertia at the time of rotation of the first to fourth ring gears 21r to 24r, the size (thickness, etc.) associated with securing the strength of the first to fourth ring gears 21r to 24r, that is, an increase in weight or automatic transmission An increase in size of 20 can be suppressed. As a result, in the automatic transmission 20, the speed change performance and the durability of the clutches C1 to C4 and the brakes B1 and B2 can be further improved, and the entire apparatus can be reduced in weight and size.

  Further, by making the first, second, third and fourth planetary gears 21, 22, 23, and 24 into single pinion type planetary gears, compared to the case where these are made into double pinion type planetary gears, for example, While reducing the meshing loss between the rotating elements in the first, second, third and fourth planetary gears 21, 22, 23, 24, the power transmission efficiency in the automatic transmission 20, that is, the fuel efficiency of the vehicle is further improved.
