![]() It means that the CVT mechanism could change it self interactively. As the number of followers increase, the output gets uniform.Ĭhanging the ratio of transmission is automatically done in this CVT. Because in every cycle of rotation, each follower is just engaged during the half time of cycle so in the case of just using one follower, the spring clutch can be turn backward during the time that the follower is not engaged. This is because of the structure of spring clutch. This CVT at least needs two followers to work properly. Finally, rotation be collected in sun gear and sun gear is connected to output shaft through the spring clutch. Each follower connected to planetary gear by means of one-way clutch. ![]() Now by rotating free shaft, the followers do oscillation. Each follower’s arm has channel that allows free shaft to displace along it. During rotation, free shaft experience centrifugal force and try to go toward the perimeter by pressing springs which mounted on rails.įollowers are set around the free shaft. Its position is determining the transmission ratio. The free-shaft is free to radially move on rails from the center to perimeter. Rotational frequency of the free-shaft is equal to the rotational frequency of input. This feature allows CVT to produce various transmission ratios at output. Different amplitudes are correspondence to different linear velocity of follower’s arm. The operation of the instant transmission is based on the oscillation of follower that can oscillate with constant angular velocity but with different amplitudes. By the way this cam based CVT steel need external controller to change transmission ratio and may be limited by the high-speed input that repulse the followers and failure the power transition. It also has less power loss and able to change the transmission ratio in wider range and act as an IVT (infinite variable transition). Cam based CVT received many developments for example the one that proposed in overcome previous problems in belt-type CVTs such as a limit of maximum transmission torque. 1 the cam based CVT takes a rotational input from cam(part1), converts it to an oscillating motion of varying amplitude in followers(part 2), and then rectifies this motion through a number of one-way clutches (part 3 and 4) to a rotational output(part5). Between them Cam based CVT is the most cited one. Many different designs for ratcheting CVTs have been proposed. Īs nearly all types of CVTs need a separate control unites, that changes the gear ratio properly, transient dynamics of CVT is one of the major concerns in design and modelling of the control unite. Other novel CVT designs could be found in publications, are basically friction based. Even toroidal CVTs that are the most promising CVT with high torque capacity of transmissions is just obtained by coupling together in a series scheme. ![]() Maximum transmissible torque is limited by slides of belt or rollers. In the conventional friction-based belt-type CVTs or sphere and rollers type CVTs, high forces between the pulleys and belt or between the sphere and rollers is necessary for operation, so there is significant power loss because of continues bending of belt. The main mechanical variants include: friction, ratcheting, hydrostatic, and positive drive. There are many kinds of CVTs: Spherical CVT, Hydrostatic CVT, E-CVT, Toroidal CVT, Power-split CVT, Belt CVT, Chain CVT, Ball-type toroidal CVT, Milner CVT, etc. ![]() Moreover, applications of CVTs to wind power systems and mechanical press machine have been proposed. This functionality lead to optimum performance of engine and fuel economy as make driving easier and more comfortable. Applying CVT let car to goes in proper speed-torque and engine to operates in fixed point. Purpose of a stepless transmission is achieved by CVT gearboxes which are able to change the transmission ratio continuously from minimum to maximum. Common step gearboxes just present some predesigned transmission ratios cold not accomplish desired performance. Gearbox is the heart of power transmission unite that matches the required torque and rotational speed of the engine with output conditions. Since the earlier years of automobile invention, it has been known that power transmission unite has crucial role on total performance of machine.
