ABSTRACT:
A drive mechanism, in particular for motor vehicles having a combustion engine including at least one compressor of the displacement type integrated by way of members of a planetary gear drive into the transmission train, and which by means of valves can be regulated infinitely variably and which on the suction side serves for cooling the installation and on the motor side for supplying charging air and on the power take-off side serves to increase the rate of rotation. The reaction force of the compressor is transmitted to the planetary wheels of a gear assembly driven with down gearing and there counteracts the deviation movement, i.e. the pivoting of the planetary gears when under load. A differential gear mechanism between the gear assembly on the one hand and the compressor respectively gear casing on the other hand including two planetary gear members connected to permit a gear ratio range from idling up to 1:1. In this context, a torque amplification is attained by tangential support against the gear casing. Optionally a further compressor can be added to provide a pneumatically acting retarder, a reverse drive of the power take-off shaft or an additional amplification of the power take-off torque in an aerostatic manner.
