Patent attributes
A dual clutch power shift transmission is provided. The transmission includes an input shaft, a main shaft rotationally coupled to the input shaft, and an output shaft coupled to the input shaft. An odd shaft and an even shaft carry a plurality of gears. The gears define a predetermined gear ratio between the input shaft and output shaft. The odd shaft and even shaft are coupled to the input shaft via an odd clutch, and even clutch, and a master clutch. A forward clutch and a reverse clutch are interposed between the master clutch, odd clutch, and even clutch. The forward and reverse clutch are alternatively coupled to the input shaft. An intermediate shaft assembly, rotationally coupled to the gears, is interposed between the odd shaft and even shaft. An auxiliary shaft is interposed between the odd shaft and output shaft and carries range gears defining a predetermined gear ratio.
