ABSTRACT:
A drive train includes a hydrostatic transmission unit and a multiple speed range transmission unit arranged in series between a prime mover and a primary output shaft, variable displacement and torque transmitting capacity of the hydrostatic transmission unit being adjusted by hydraulic controls including a speed control valve for developing a differential pressure signal proportional to a desired rate of operation, a modulating valve for regulating the differential pressure signal corresponding to accelerating and decelerating operation of the transmission, a directional control valve for determining the direction of operation of the hydrostatic transmission unit, and a range selector valve for shifting the operating speed range of the multiple speed range transmission as the hydrostatic transmission approaches a limit of displacement, the displacement of the hydrostatic transmission being automatically reset in response to shifting of the multiple speed range transmission.
Operating speed limits are automatically established for the drive train by an override speed control valve which manually adjusts the differential pressure signal for reduced torque transmission through the drive train when the prime mover is operating below a minimum speed. A speed limiting control valve responds to operation of the prime mover above a maximum selected speed for automatically applying a brake within the drive train in order to supplement dynamic braking capacity of the transmission unit, the speed limiting control valve including means producing a feedback signal for resisting manual operation of the override speed control valve in proportion to engagement of the brake within the drive train.
