Abstract
In hydraulic mechanical transmission loaders, a hydraulic torque converter can prevent an engine from stalling due to
overloading of the loader during the spading process; however, the hydraulic torque converter also reduces the loader’s
fuel economy because of its low transmission efficiency. To address this issue, the study designs an output-power-split
transmission system that is applied to a hybrid loader. The designed transmission system removes the hydraulic torque
converter in the power transmission system of a traditional loader and adopts a planetary gear set with a compact struc-
ture as the dynamic coupling element, thus allowing the output power of the loader to be split transmitted. During sho-
veling, the loader power-split transmission system based on a planetary gear set can prevent the motor from plugging
and over-burning under conditions that ensure that the traction does not decrease. In addition, the transmission effi-
ciency and loader fuel economy are higher in the proposed transmission system than in the power transmission system
of a traditional loader. The test results show that the transmission efficiency of the designed system was 13.2% higher
than that of the traditional hydraulic mechanical transmission loader.

tics of infinitely variable speeds.19 In 2011, the
Japanese company Kawasaki developed hybrid loader
65ZHybrid, in which the torque converter is replaced
with a ‘‘HYTCs’’ system, which consists of planetary
gears, motors, and alternators. The energy utilization

Machinery announced that they had developed a wheel
loader equipped with a hybrid power system
(ZW220HYB-5B). The electric alternator is driven by a
diesel engine and generates electric power to drive the
motor. The loader has no gearbox and adopts infinitely
variable speeds; therefore, it has the advantage of no
changes in the speed operation when the loader is dig-
ging or driving on a ramp, thereby decreasing the labor
intensity of the drivers.5

Bench test for the hybrid loader system


The hybrid loader experiment is performed on the test
bench; the bench is mainly composed of the power sys-
tem, transmission system, hydraulic system, and con-
trol system.30 A schematic diagram of the test bench is
shown in Figure 8.
The power system is composed of the crude oil
engine, alternator, battery, and electromotor. The alter-
nator drives the hydraulic system, and the residual
energy is converted to electricity and stored in the bat-
tery to drive the electromotor work. The information
acquired from the sensors is input to the controllers
and processed by a microprocessor to control the
engine and electromotor.
