Hydraulic Transmission Unit, Particularly for Deep-Sea Use - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18260449 titled 'Hydraulic Transmission Unit, Particularly for Deep-Sea Use

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a transmission unit with a housing for encapsulating components, a rack and pinion transmission, a hydraulic drive system, and a rotatable mechanical actuator.

  • The transmission unit is housed in a fluid-tight enclosure.
  • It includes a rack and pinion transmission with at least one gear rack.
  • The hydraulic drive system in the housing has a displacer unit to increase energy of a pressurizable working fluid.
  • The hydraulic drive system also includes a chamber with a piston connected to the gear rack for linear movement.
  • A rotatable mechanical actuator, connected to the pinion, is located outside the housing.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Industrial machinery
  • Automotive systems
  • Robotics
  • Aerospace equipment

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient power transmission
  • Precise linear movement control
  • Compact design for enclosed systems

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Enhanced control and accuracy
  • Space-saving design for compact installations


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a transmission unit, having (i) a housing for the fluid-tight encapsulation of at least one part of the transmission unit, (ii) a rack and pinion transmission which is arranged in the housing and has at least one gear rack, (iii) a hydraulic drive system, which is arranged in the housing, has at least one displacer unit for increasing the energy of a pressurizable working fluid of the hydraulic drive system, and has at least one chamber in which a piston, operatively connected to a gear rack of the rack and pinion transmission, can be moved using the working fluid in order to effect a linear movement of the gear rack, and (iv) a rotatable mechanical actuator, which is operatively connected to the pinion of the rack and pinion transmission and is arranged outside the housing at least in portions.
