AUTOMATIC STEPLESS MECHANICAL GEARING Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: gearing has input 1 and output 2 shafts, inertial braking device and differential. Radial axles 14 carry satellite gears 15, 15 secured on carrier input shaft 1. Central wheels 8 and 17 of differential are engaged with satellite gears and secured respectively on input shaft of inertial braking device and on output shaft 2. Satellite gears 6 coupled to each other and inertial loads in the form of flywheels 7 are positioned on radial axles 5 of carrier of inertial braking device for free rotation. Central wheel of inertial braking device engaged with satellite gear 6 is secured on intermediate shaft 4 and coupled to driving wheel 11 positioned on input shaft supporting gear 9 and driven wheel 12. Gearing makes it possible to widen range of automatic control of output shaft rotational frequency and transmitted torque depending on load. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 8 cl, 1 dwg
