Abstract
A transmission device and an agricultural harvesting machine include a first drive input element, a second drive input element, a shift sleeve configured as a hollow shaft, and a drive output shaft. The shift sleeve is mounted axially displaceably on the drive output shaft and is configured to be moved by axial displacement into one of a first position, a second position, and a third shift position. An internal toothing is formed on each of the first drive input element and the second drive input element. An external toothing and an internal toothing are formed on the shift sleeve. An external toothing is formed on the drive output shaft.

A transmission device comprising:
- a first drive input element;
- a second drive input element;
- a shift sleeve configured as a hollow shaft;
- and
- a drive output shaft;
- wherein the shift sleeve is mounted axially displaceably on the drive output shaft and is configured to be moved by axial displacement into one of a first position, a second position, and a third shift position;
- wherein an internal toothing is formed on each of the first drive input element and the second drive input element;
- wherein an external toothing and an internal toothing are formed on the shift sleeve;
- wherein an external toothing is formed on the drive output shaft;
- wherein, in the first shift position, the external toothing of the shift sleeve forms a first toothing pairing with the internal toothing of the first drive input element;
- wherein, in the second shift position, the external toothing of the shift sleeve forms a second toothing pairing with the internal toothing of the second drive input element;
- wherein the internal toothing of the shift sleeve forms a third toothing pairing with the external toothing of the drive output shaft;
- and
- wherein the first toothing pairing, the second toothing pairing, and the third toothing pairing are configured with a tooth pitch which is greater by a factor of two than a tooth pitch associated with standardized toothed gear moduli such that a tooth spacing that is greater by a factor of two is achieved.
An agricultural harvesting machine having a belt drive and a transmission device assigned to the belt drive, the transmission device comprising:
- a first drive input element;
- a second drive input element;
- a shift sleeve configured as a hollow shaft;
- and
- a drive output shaft;
- wherein the shift sleeve is mounted axially displaceably on the drive output shaft and is configured to be moved by axial displacement into one of a first position, a second position, and a third shift position;
- wherein an internal toothing is formed on each of the first drive input element and the second drive input element;
- wherein an external toothing and an internal toothing are formed on the shift sleeve;
- wherein an external toothing is formed on the drive output shaft;
- wherein, in the first shift position, the external toothing of the shift sleeve forms a first toothing pairing with the internal toothing of the first drive input element;
- wherein, in the second shift position, the external toothing of the shift sleeve forms a second toothing pairing with the internal toothing of the second drive input element;
- wherein the internal toothing of the shift sleeve forms a third toothing pairing with the external toothing of the drive output shaft;
- and
- wherein the first toothing pairing, the second toothing pairing, and the third toothing pairing are configured with a tooth pitch which is greater by a factor of two than a tooth pitch associated with standardized toothed gear moduli such that a tooth spacing that is greater by a factor of two is achieved.
