AUTOMATIC INFINITELY VARIABLE MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; transport engineering; machine tool manufacture. SUBSTANCE: proposed transmission includes input shaft 1 and output shaft 2, main carrier 3 with radial axles 5 on which main satellites 6 and additional satellites 12 are mounted and differential gear whose first central wheel 9 is mounted on hollow intermediate shaft 4 located coaxially relative to input shaft; main carrier 3 is secured on shaft 4. Second central wheel 11 of differential gear is secured on input shaft 1. Main satellites 6 are thrown into engagement with immovable bearing wheel 8 secured in transmission housing 7. Additional satellites 12 are through into engagement with movable bearing wheel 10 secured on input shaft. First central wheel of differential gear and second central wheel 11 of differential gear are thrown into engagement with satellites 13 whose carrier 14 is secured on output shaft 2. EFFECT: possibility of smooth conversion of rotational speed of output shaft and moment of momentum depending on output shaft load. 9 cl, 2 dwg
