Abstract
A housing for an axle driving apparatus which is partitioned therein through an inner wall into a first chamber for housing therein a hydrostatic transmission and a second chamber for housing therein a drive train for transmitting power outputted from the hydrostatic transmission to axles. An oil filter is disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber. The first chamber and the second chamber are filled with oil which can flow between the first chamber and the second chamber through an oil filter, whereby the volume of oil, which varies as the temperature of the oil in the first chamber rises or lowers, can be adjusted.
Claims8
A housing for an axle driving apparatus comprising:
- means for partitioning said housing into a first chamber for housing therein a hydrostatic transmission and a second chamber for housing therein a drive train for transmitting power outputted from said hydrostatic transmission to axles disposed in said housing;
- a third chamber provided in said housing;
- a first communicating bore for communicating oil between said first chamber and said third chamber;
- a second communicating bore for communicating oil between said second chamber and said third chamber;
- and
- an oil filter disposed in said third chamber between said first communicating bore and said second communicating bore, whereby oil flows in both directions between said first chamber and said second chamber through said oil filter.
A housing for an axle driving apparatus comprising:
- an inner wall for partitioning said housing into a first chamber for housing therein a hydrostatic transmission and a second chamber for housing therein a drive train for transmitting power outputted from said hydrostatic transmission to axles;
- a communicating bore disposed in said inner wall of said housing, between said first chamber and said second chamber;
- and
- an oil filter disposed within said communicating bore;
- whereby oil flows in two directions between said first chamber and said second chamber through said oil filter.
A housing for an axle driving apparatus comprising:
- an inner wall for partitioning said housing into a first chamber for housing therein a hydrostatic transmission and a second chamber for housing therein a drive train for transmitting power outputted from said hydrostatic transmission to axles;
- an oil sump formed in said first chamber of said housing;
- a first communicating bore disposed between said first chamber and said second chamber, whereby oil flows through said first communicating bore between said first chamber and said second chamber;
- a second communicating bore disposed between said first chamber and said second chamber, whereby oil flows between said first chamber and said second chamber through said second communicating bore;
- and
- an oil filter disposed above said inner wall of said housing and between said first communicating bore and said second communicating bore, whereby oil flows between said first chamber and said second chamber through said oil filter.
