Military tanks and armored vehicles use tracks with excellent mobility in rough terrain, the transmission, a key component of tracked vehicle driving performance, performs shifting, steering and braking functions of tracked vehicles. There was concern about the deterioration of the driving performance of the tracked vehicle due to the occurrence of oil leakage in the output part of the transmission that rotates the track of the vehicle. Throughㅇ failure mechanism analysis and characteristic factor analysis using 4M(Man, Machine, Material, Method) quality management, it was confirmed that the factor affecting oil leakage in the output part was damage to the output shaft coupling surface, which is the contact surface of the output part oil seal. Based on this, a quality improvement plan was derived by applying a protective cap to prevent damage to the coupling surface, increasing the coupling surface hardness to improve the oil seal sealing function, and revising the work standard throughout production, process movement and assembly stages. The effectiveness of the proposed improvement was verified through a single transmission test, a power pack test, and a track vehicle installation test, and the effectiveness was verified through follow-up observation. It is expected that the improvements derived from this study will be utilized in the future analysis of similar equipment quality problems.

The technology competitions of automobile manufacturers are getting hot. The characteristics of the environment friendly automobile are not only lowering the emission of harmful exhaust gas through the change of the power source, but also paying great attention to improvement of the power efficiency. As the market for pure electric vehicles continues to grow, we have analyzed the global technology competitiveness by DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) patents. Clustering can be classified into five types ; 1) a cluster associated with a dual clutch transmission system, 2) a cluster of a torque transmission device and a reverse speed ratio, 3) a cluster of co-planar sets and dual clutch assemblies related to transmitting devices, 4) Device clusters, and 5) a cluster of synchronizers and clusters to prevent simultaneous operation of dual clutch transmissions. In recent years, demand for pure electric vehicles has been rapidly increasing, and patent applications related to DCT have been steadily increasing for energy efficiency of motor power sources.

In case of a low speed gearing in the automatic transmission, since the torque is increased, it is difficult to secure a good feeling on gear shift of transmission. It is possible to improve the shift feeling on transmission by applying a one-way clutch in case of the gear shift from the first stage to the second stage. But in case of the gear shift from the second stage to the third stage, it is difficult to secure a good feeling on gear shift of transmission because the hydraulic components are directly controlled simultaneously. In this study, a shift performance of an automatic transmission was investigated as a basic study to solve these problems. The subjects of this study are 2-3 step upshifting gearing process and the performance data such as the pressure characteristics and torque of the transmission according to the amount of the throttle valve opening are analyzed on basis of experiment with an actual vehicle. As a result, the transient time of the shift is closely related to the amount of the throttle valve, opening and the time point at which the shifting ends is shortened when the throttle valve opening reaches 30% of the opening amount.

Recently, as the use of automatic transmissions increases, attention is focused on remanufacturing of automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission includes a clutch, a brake, a planetary gear, and a planetary gear unit, which are power transmission devices, an oil pump and a valve body which are lubricating devices, a controller which is an electronic control device, sensors and switches which input and output the controller. In particular, this study is a basic study for remanufacturing such as disassembling, assembling, and inspecting element parts for manufacturing valve body material which is a core part of automatic transmission.

Today, conventional CVT equipped vehicle controls engine torque and gear ratio by using engine torque map and shifting map. But this control process is difficult to optimize the fuel economy when the driving mode is changed arbitrary. In this study, I propose the real-time CVT control with considering the power loss of transmission system to improve vehicle fuel economy and drivability. The driving performance and fuel economy of the proposed control logic is analyzed by backward simulation and the validity of new control logic is verified.

Dry CVT(Continuously variable transmission) consists of a driving pulley and a driven pulley joined by rubber V-belt. Each pulley consists of a fixed flange and a movable flange. The movable flange of the driving pulley has the centrifugal roller and a ramp plate in the flange. The movable flange moves toward a fixed flange under the actuation of a centrifugal roller, as the driving pulley speed increases. The main advantages of the Dry CVT with V-belt, which has been popular in Asia, are a simple mechanism, less maintenance and low cost. The important claim which have an influence on the performance of the Dry CVT is the wear of the centrifugal roller. In this study ball type is proposed instead of roller type of movable flange to resolve claim. Also experiments are carried out for new model to evaluate performances.

In general, a valve body of the automatic transmission(AT) is controlled by the clutch, the brake and lubricating oil flow in a hydraulic system and lubricant flow for each valve can be adjusted independently. To increase the lifetime of AT, the lubrication flow rate in a valve body for a 6 speed AT based parallel hybrid electric vehicle must be provided with proper oil distribution and control. In this study, we carried out several experiments without the inner parts of AT and with a AT assembly. The variation of the flow rate on oil temperature and pressure between an oil supply port and the outlets of the lubrication port was evaluated and analyzed. In the case of AT without the inner parts, it was evident that as the oil required for an operation of the clutch and brake was discharged from the outlet port, the flow rate from each lubrication port is decreased. However, the flow rate of the AT assembly was slightly increased. In addition, the lubrication flow rate was increased with increasing the oil temperature, and also it was reduced with increasing the oil pressure. Details of the resulting data are discussed.

The Automobiles with a combustion engine use a transmission for increasing drive force, reverse-move and maintaining non-load condition in general. In the Electric automobile system, output-axial can be operated just by controlling the motor manipulated with power. It also does not need reverse-gear by rotating the motor in the opposite direction. Designed to assemble two different types of planetary gear ratio and to be input torque of input-axial in sun gear and divide ring gear Ⅰ, Ⅱ and then after one of ring gear is fixed, in accordance with the planetary gear velocity ratio, the first gear has 0.136 decreased speed and second gear has 0.240 decreased speed, separately. While the planetary gear type transmission showed over the 92% of efficiency in the all of velocity range. The transmission proposed in this study can be expected to apply to the electric vehicle or others.
