[0001] This invention relates to a transmission system having a wet double clutch mechanism. The present invention relates more particularly to a transmission system, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising around an axis at least one input shell which is rotatably connected to a driving shaft and to a driving veil for connecting in rotating said inlet shell to a wet dual clutch mechanism which, having at least a first clutch and a second multi-disc clutch respectively, is controlled to selectively couple said drive shaft to a first driven shaft and to a second driven shaft . Known from the prior art such transmission systems having a dual clutch mechanism. It distinguishes including two designs of double clutch mechanism, on the one hand the so-called double clutch mechanisms "dry" and, secondly, dual clutch mechanisms called "wet". The present invention relates more particularly to a double wet clutch (or "double wet clutch" in English). In the case of a wet double-clutch mechanism, the clutches are generally multi-disc type and the friction linings of the discs are kept permanently moist by oil. A dual clutch mechanism has a first clutch which, for example gearbox side, is used both for starting and engaging odd gears and a second clutch which, for example arranged on the engine side, supports the even reports and reverse. The first clutch and the second clutch alternately transmit the input power (torque and speed) from the drive shaft, which is rotatably connected to the motor, to one of the two driven shafts that are connected to the drive. gearbox and usually coaxial. For improved safety, the first clutch and the second clutch of the mechanism are respectively disengaged at rest, ie "normally open", and are actively closed by means of hydraulic actuation of a control device which is associated to the double clutch mechanism. The growing interest in dual-clutch mechanisms is particularly related to the comfort and performance obtained, as well as the continuity of the acceleration during shifts, without breaking torque. Transmission systems comprising such a dual clutch mechanism also provide, in comparison with a conventional automatic gearbox, a consumption gain and CO2 emissions.
[0002] Transmission systems comprising a known wet double clutch mechanism, however, are not entirely satisfactory, especially for certain applications. In certain applications, in particular but not exclusively for truck-type industrial vehicles (trucks, utilities, etc.), the reliable transmission of large torques is sought while having a radial compactness of the transmission system, for example to allow the implantation between the engine and the gearbox of the vehicle.
[0003] The engine torque to be transmitted by the transmission systems has been constantly increasing for several years, reaching values of the order of 4000 Nm. The known architectures of transmission systems comprising a double wet clutch mechanism do not allow not to transmit these torque values and / or do not provide satisfactory reliability. The object of the present invention is in particular to provide a transmission system comprising a wet double clutch mechanism making it possible to solve at least part of certain disadvantages of the prior art. For this purpose, the invention proposes a transmission system of the type described above, characterized in that the input shell and the drive web are rotatably connected without angular play by connecting means. Thanks to the rotational linkage means without angular play according to the invention, the transmission of a high torque between the input shell and the driving veil is obtained and with satisfactory reliability. The absence of angular clearance improves the torsional stiffness of the connection of the input shell with the training sail. The absence of angular clearance also eliminates the risk of shaking the link. This risk is particularly present when the connection is made by nesting teeth arranged between the input shell and the driving veil.

In the remainder of the description and the claims, the terms "before" or "backward" will be used in a nonlimiting manner and in order to facilitate comprehension thereof, according to the determined direction 10 with respect to an axial orientation defined by the axis. O main rotation of the transmission system and the terms "inner / inner" or "outer / outer" with respect to the axis O and in a radial orientation, orthogonal to said axial orientation.
[0005] FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of a transmission system 10, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a main axis O of rotation. The transmission system 10 comprises around the axis O at least one input element which is rotatably connected to a driving shaft 20 (not shown). Preferably, the input element of the system 10 comprises at least one input shell 12 which is rotatably connected to an input hub 14. The inlet shell 12, here generally having an "L" shape, has a radially oriented portion and a radially external portion of axial orientation. The hub 14 has a portion of radial orientation and an axially oriented portion, the hub 14 being arranged radially inward with respect to the shell 12.
[0006] The axially oriented portion of the hub 14 extends within the radial portion axially rearward in a direction corresponding to that of the motor.
[0007] The hub 14 has splines 15, formed in an outer cylindrical surface of the axial portion, for the rotational connection of the input member formed by at least the shell 12 and the hub 14 with the drive shaft.
[0008] The inner end of the radial portion of the shell 12 and the outer end of the radial portion of the inlet hub 14 are integral, preferably secured together by welding. Alternatively, the inner end of the radial portion of the inlet shell 12 and the outer end of the radial portion 10 of the inlet hub 14 are secured together by riveting. The hub 14 of input is for example linked in rotation through the splines 15 at the output of a damping or damping device (such as a double damping flywheel, etc.) whose input is linked, in particular via a flywheel, to the driving shaft formed by a crankshaft that rotates a motor equipping the motor vehicle. The input shell 12 is rotated by the motor via the hub 14 input.
[0009] The radially outer portion 12A of axial orientation of the inlet shell 12 comprises, at its free front axial end, at least one radially oriented connection portion 16. Said at least one connecting portion 16 of the input shell 12 has a radial face 17 oriented axially towards the front. In this first embodiment and as illustrated in particular in Figures 3 and 4, said at least one radially orienting connection portion 16 of the input shell 12 is constituted by a circumferentially continuous rim.
[0010] As a variant, said at least one radially oriented connection portion 16 of the inlet shell 12 is circumferentially discontinuous.
[0011] The inlet shell 12 is rotatably connected to a drive web 18, which drive web 18 rotatably couples said input shell 12 to a wet dual clutch mechanism 20.
[0012] The drive web 18 has a radially oriented portion which is connected to the mechanism 20 and a radially outer portion 18A of axial orientation. The radially outer portion 18A of axial orientation of the drive web 18 comprises, at its free rear axial end 10, at least one radially oriented connection portion 22. Said at least one connecting portion 22 of the drive web 18 has a radial face 21 oriented axially rearwardly. In this first embodiment and as illustrated particularly in FIGS. 3 and 4, said at least one radially oriented connection portion 22 of the driving veil 18 is constituted by a circumferentially continuous rim. In a variant, said at least one radially oriented connection portion 22 of the driving web 18 is circumferentially discontinuous. The inlet shell 12 has, at the free end before its radially outer portion 12A of axial orientation, a flange 16 forming said circumferentially continuous and radially oriented connection portion of the inlet shell 12 and the 25 sail 18 drive comprises, at the rear free end of its radially outer portion 18A of axial orientation, a flange 22 forming said circumferentially continuous connection portion and radial orientation of the web 18 drive. In a variant, the inlet shell 12 has, at the free end 30 before its radially outer portion 12A of axial orientation, a flange 16 forming said circumferentially continuous and radially oriented connection portion of the shell 12 of the entry or the sail 18 drive comprises, 3027077 11 the rear free end of its radially outer portion 18A axially oriented, a flange 22 forming said circumferentially continuous connection portion and radial orientation of the veil 18 drive .
[0013] Thus, at least one of said radially orienting connection portions 16, 22 is constituted by a circumferentially continuous rim. The inlet shell 12 and the driving veil 18 are connected in rotation without angular play by connection means 24.
[0014] Advantageously, a rotational connection without angular play makes it possible to transmit a large torque, for example 4000 Nm, while having connection means having the required reliability. Preferably, the input shell 12 and the drive web 18 are rotatably connected without axial play by said connecting means 24. Preferably, said means 24 for rotational connection without angular play of the input shell 12 and the drive web 18 are made by riveting.
[0015] In variants not shown, other modes of connection that the riveting are likely to be implemented to link in rotation, without angular play or axial, the input shell 12 and the veil 18 drive. Alternatively, said means 24 for rotational connection without angular play of the inlet shell 12 and the sail 18 drive are made by welding. Said connecting means 24 are for example constituted by a weld seam, which weld bead may be circumferentially continuous or discontinuous, in particular as a function of the connecting parts 16 and 22 of the inlet shell 12 and the veil 18 of which may also be one and / or the other circumferentially continuous or discontinuous.
[0016] When said connecting means 24 are made in the form of a weld bead, in particular circumferentially discontinuous, said weld bead is then for example obtained by means of a weld material supply.
[0017] Alternatively, said connecting means 24 is in the form of a spot resistance weld. In this method, the connecting portions 16 and 22 of the input shell 12 and the drive veil 18 are superimposed and are clamped locally between two electrodes. The assembly thus formed is traversed by a welding current which causes the localized fusion of the two parts 16 and 22 in the positioning zone of the two electrodes. This welding process does not require any material input. In this example, the weld is circumferentially discontinuous.
[0018] In a variant, said means 24 for rotating without angular play of the input shell 12 and the driving veil 18 are made by crimping. The crimping is for example a "hot" crimping obtained, in particular by locally heating the connecting portions 20 of the input shell 12 and the driving veil 18 to be crimped together, then by applying to at least one of said parts a load adapted to deform the material and to bind in rotation without angular play and without axial play said parts. In this first embodiment, the means 24 for connecting the input shell 12 and the drive web 18 are preferably made by riveting, said connecting means 24 are constituted by at least rivets 25. For the axial passage of the rivets 25, the rim 16 of the inlet shell 12 comprises a series of axial holes 26 and the flange 22 of the veil 18 for driving a series of axial holes 28.
[0019] During the riveting operation, the rivet 25 swells at the axial holes 26, 28 under the effect of the riveting force applied on its ends. The rivets 25 rotate without angular play or axial clearance, the flanges 16 and 22 respectively forming said radially oriented connection portions of the input shell 12 and the drive web 18. Preferably, the rivets 25 and the holes 26 and 28 are distributed circumferentially in a regular manner about the axis of rotation. In at least bound portions, that is to say where said connecting portions 16 and 22 of the input shell 12 and the drive web 18 are axially connected by said rivets 25 forming the connecting means 24, said radial faces 17 and 21 of the connecting portions are axially contiguous with each other. In a wet double-clutch mechanism, the oil flows radially from the inside to the outside and the oil is evacuated through the axially oriented radially outer portions 12A and 18A of the inlet shell 12 and the driving veil 18 not to accumulate or stagnate within the internal volume delimited by the shell 12 and the veil 18 in which said mechanism 20 is housed. Advantageously, the system 10 comprises oil discharge means which are arranged in at least a radially outer portion of the inlet shell 12 and / or in at least a radially outer portion of the drive web 18 to allow an evacuation of the oil. The oil discharge means of the system 10 allow the oil to flow radially outwardly from the internal volume including said wet double clutch mechanism, particularly through the radially outer portions 12A and 18A and this to ensure in particular a return of the oil generally to a housing (not shown).
[0020] Preferably, said oil evacuation means are distributed circumferentially in a regular manner and / or are symmetrically matched to the axis O of rotation. Advantageously, said oil discharge means 5 comprise at least radial holes 30 made in the radially outer part 18A of axial orientation of the drive web 18 and / or in the radially outer portion 12A of axial orientation of the shell 12 input. In this first embodiment and as illustrated in particular by FIGS. 2 and 4, said oil discharge means comprise at least radial holes made in the radially outer portion 18A of axial orientation of the web 18. 'training. Alternatively not shown, said oil discharge means 15 may also include radial holes made in the radially outer portion 12A of axial orientation of the shell 12 input. According to another example of implementation of the invention, said oil discharge means comprise only radial holes made in the radially outer portion 12A of axial orientation of the inlet shell 12. Preferably, said radial holes made at least in the radially outer axially oriented portion 18A of the drive web 18 comprise at least a first set of holes 30A and a second set of holes 30B.
[0021] The first set of holes 30A is located axially in front of the second set of holes 30B. The holes 30A are axially substantially aligned with the holes 30B so that said holes 30A and 30B are axially next to one another.
[0022] In a variant, the holes 30A of the first series and the holes 30B of the second series are angularly offset relative to one another.
[0023] In a nonlimiting manner, the holes 30A of the first series are of generally circular section and the holes 30B of the second series are of oblong shape, with their largest dimension oriented in the axial direction.
[0024] Advantageously, the radial holes 30A of the first series and / or the radial holes 30B of the second series are distributed circumferentially in a regular manner around the axis O of rotation. Preferably, said oil evacuation means 10 comprise at least one circumferentially arranged radial oil discharge passage P between the connecting portions 16 and 22 of the input shell 12 and the driving veil 18 which are linked axially without play and in rotation without angular play by the rivets 25 forming said connecting means 24.

The presence of radial oil evacuation passages P between the flanges 16 and 22 of the input shell 12 and the drive web 12 can make it possible to reduce the number of radial holes when said means for discharging the oil are removed. oil are formed by a combination of holes and such passages P. Advantageously, the presence of radial passages P of oil evacuation allows, for the same overall section of oil passage, to reduce the total number of holes drilled radially in one and / or the other of said radially outer portions 12A and 18A of axial orientation of the inlet shell 12 and the sail 18 driving and thereby reduce the associated drilling costs for the manufacture of the transmission system 10. Reducing the total number of radially drilled holes has the advantage of improving the mechanical strength and the torsional stiffness of the inlet shell 12 or the driving veil 18. Said at least one radial passage P of oil discharge 15 is formed by an axial press 27 formed in at least one non-bonded portion by means 24 for connecting said at least one connecting portion 16 of the shell 12 of input and / or in at least one non-bonded portion by the means 24 connecting said at least one connecting portion 22 of the web 18 drive.

Preferably, the stampings 27 to form radial passages P of oil circulation, between the inlet shell 12 and the sail 18 drive, at the portions not axially connected by the rivets 25, are made in the only flange 16. In variant not shown, the flange 22 of the web 18 drive comprises stampings made axially towards the front in the radial face 21 of said flange 22 to form said radial passages P circulation oil.

Preferably, the radial passages P of oil circulation formed by axial stamping of one and / or other of the flanges 16 and 22 are even in number and matched symmetrically with respect to the axis O of rotation. In a variant, the radial oil circulation passages P formed by axial stamping of one and / or the other of the flanges 16 and 22 are oddly numbered.

When the connecting means are made by riveting, the sealing of the balancing chamber 58 of the first clutch El is ensured around the holes 98 by contact between a radially flat, annular face which is formed in favor of the pressed 96 and surrounds the hole 98. Once the riveting performed to axially link the pieces 30 together, said annular face cooperates with a portion of the planar radial face surrounding the hole 97 of the inner disk carrier 90.
[0073] The tightness of the balancing chamber 118 of the second clutch E2 is ensured around the holes 148 by contact between a radially flat, annular face which is formed in favor of the embossment 146 and surrounds the hole 148.
[0074] Once the riveting has been performed to axially link the pieces together, said annular face cooperates with a portion of the planar radial face surrounding the hole 147 of the inner disk carrier 140. After having circulated radially through the first clutch E1 and the second clutch E2, the oil is found in the space radially between the disc carriers 76, 126 and the inlet shell 12 connected by the rivets 25 to the veil. 18 training.
