摘要:
A shift system related to an improved continuously variable transmission (CVT) may include a power output assembly, a power input assembly, a collar assembly, and a connecting assembly to connect the power output assembly and power input assembly. The shift system is advantageous because it employs only gears and hydraulics for the transmission of power, which can be used in any torque scenario, from low-torque to heavy-duty scenarios such as large passenger automobiles, large trucks and heavy-duty machinery. Furthermore, there is no need to use additional energy to keep the transmission “tight enough” to engage and to prevent any “slipping,” and the overall efficiency of power transmission would be increased.

Three controls, three variable gear assemblies, an optional hatch or variable propeller pitch, and a variable overlap generator (VO generator), as well as one or more commutator and brushless free direct current generators may be used independently and together to provide constant frequency and voltage output power and to increase the amount of output power generated with the same input water flow or wind speed in a plurality of embodiments useful in wind power generation and water renewable energy generators for any of tidal and ocean current or wave conditions. Two Transgear™ assemblies side-by-side and sharing the same central shaft may comprise a constant speed motor control, produce required constant frequency and voltage and be reduced in part count and complexity. The variable overlap generator of a marine hydrokinetic or wind power generator may be used as a low torque generator, a high power-rated generator or a control in these applications and may generate more electric power than a conventional fixed power generator (the rotor axially aligned to overlap the stator in a conventional manner) over a wider input range. An electromotive force (EMF) embodiment generates alternating current at constant frequency and voltage in varying wind and water speed conditions.

A vehicle power transmission device equipped with a crank type transmission unit is provided in which since a first sprocket provided on an input shaft upstream portion and a second sprocket provided on an output shaft downstream portion are connected by an endless chain, and a dog clutch is disposed between the input shaft main body portion and the input shaft upstream portion, when the input shaft main body portion is seized and becomes non-rotatable, the dog clutch is disengaged so as to detach the input shaft upstream portion from the input shaft main body portion, and the driving force of an engine is transmitted to the output shaft downstream portion via the input shaft upstream portion, the first sprocket, the endless chain and the second sprocket, thereby enabling the vehicle to travel in the minimum necessary way.

A stepless transmission 1 is provided for preventing drive wheels from being driven despite the driver's intention during vehicle deceleration. A control device 40: when the required drive force of the vehicle is 0, controls the output rotational speed Ne of a travel drive source 50 to be Ne2, and controls the transmission gear ratio i of the transmission 1 so that the transmission 1 in the case where the Ne is Ne1 changes from a first state to a second state; and when the vehicle speed V is less than a boundary speed Vgn, controls the ratio i to be a state maintaining transmission gear ratio ign that enables the first state to be maintained even during vehicle deceleration. In the second state a rotational drive force is transmitted from an input shaft 2 to an output shaft 3. In the first state the transmission is prevented.

A geared infinitely variable transmission (GIVT) to provide a continuous output-to-input speed ratio from zero to a certain value is designed, and its working principle is illustrated. Crank-slider systems are used in the GIVT; the output-to-input speed ratio is changed with the crank length. Racks and pinions, controlled by planetary gear sets, are used to change the crank length when the cranks are rotating. One-way bearings rectify the output speeds from different crank-slider systems to obtain the output speed of the GIVT. Noncircular gears are used to minimize variations since the crank-slider systems can introduce variations of the instantaneous speed ratio. A direction control system is provided using planetary gear sets.

A gear ratio control device includes a controller configured to control gear ratio in a vehicle. The controller is configured to adjust an eccentricity of first supporting points of the eccentric discs so that, in the event of starting a power source in a state in which the power source is stopped and the vehicle is traveling, the gear ratio at a continuously variable transmission is at a target value, in parallel with performing start control of the power source.

A drive train system for human powered vehicles whereby the pedals move in a linear or slightly curved path, providing a superior ergonomic ride. Power is transmitted from the pedals by a flexible drive tension transmitting component to two one way locking continuous variable radius helicoids mounted on a shaft by means of a one way locking mechanism. The pedals move alternatively back and forth pulling the cables and unwinding (active phase) their corresponding helicoids and thus transferring spinning motion to the shaft. The helicoids act as a set of sprockets of continuous variable radius optimizing the ergonomic delivery of leg power to the shaft. A step-less shifting system alters the length of cable wound in the helicoids and can manually select the “zone” of the helicoids utilized for optimal power transmission. This gearing system can manually adjust the power-speed ratio according to the environment demands, akin to a gear system.

An infinitely and continuously variable transmission system capable of gradually multiplying TORQUE while decreasing RPM and vice-versa. For a given input shaft TORQUE and RPM, the system delivers to the output shaft such increases or reductions in TORQUE with inversely corresponding increases or reductions in RPM as may be desired across a predetermined and very wide range of transmission ratios. The range can include zero RPM for the output shaft while the input shaft continues to rotate at any RPM, thus eliminating the need for an input shaft disengaging clutch. The invention includes a main assembly consisting of one or more pairs of co-axial diametrically opposed one-way clutches and corresponding pairs of diametrically opposed carrying shafts which are interconnected through a central hub assembly. The axes of the carrying shafts share the same plane with each other and with the central hub's multi-directional center around which they are radially and symmetrically mounted. The freewheels are engaged in one rotational direction and disengaged in the opposite rotational direction of their carrying shafts and are in turn continuously and interactionally meshed to a common rotatable output gear. The infinitely and continuously variable TORQUE and RPM ratios are produced by causing the freewheel carrying shafts to rotatably oscillate at gradually variable oscillation arcs thereby causing their respective freewheels to smoothly rotate the common output gear at correspondingly variable rotation speeds through a simultaneous combination of the oscillation arc magnitude of their carrying shaft rotatable oscillations and their corresponding engagement/disengagement action.

An arrangement of multiple gears forming a transmission and differential system for variable and compensated speed output and direction from a constant or variable source. Control of output speed, direction and source by selective adjustment with the system at related system components. Adjustment of inter-related orbital cam paths provide for selective variable output from a given input source. Compensated variable output derives from combining the generated variable output with the unimpeded source input.
摘要:
A transmission having ratios from 0:1 to 1:1 is disclosed; the transmission comprises a plurality of clutches for producing a partial rotational output from a reciprocating input, an output gear for collecting the partial output of the clutches, an input gear for providing rotational input to a varicrank (i.e. an index plate/web shaft slidably and rotably disposed in a rotatable cylindrical block), and a varicrank (i.e. an index plate/web shaft slidably and rotatably disposed in a rotatable cylindrical block) for producing reciprocal motion on the clutches. The varicrank has a variably offset center web member having a plurality of connecting rods secured thereto corresponding to the number of clutches and a plurality of crank arms pivotally secured to the connecting rods. The ratio of the transmission is adjusted by moving a ratio control rod which increases or decreases the amount of offset of the center web, and accordingly the amount of reciprocating motion applied to the crank arms by the connecting rods.
