Abstract:
A speed-changing device (21) is provided with an input shaft (22), an output shaft (23), a planetary gear mechanism (29), a first variator (33), a second variator (34), and a controller (25). The planetary gear mechanism (29) is configured to include a carrier (29A) connected to the input shaft (22), a first sun gear (29B) connected to the first variator (33), and a second sun gear (29C) connected to the output shaft (23). The second variator (34) transmits power transmitted from the first variator (33) to the output shaft (23), or transmits power transmitted from the output shaft (23) to the first variator (33). The controller (25) changes the rotation speed of the first variator (33), thereby changing the rotation speed of the output shaft (23) in relation to the rotation speed of the input shaft (22).
