AUTOMATIC STEPLESS MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: driving central bevel gear 3 and driven gear 4 are brought into engagement with main bevel plant pinions 7 fitted on radial axles 2 of carrier 1. Additional bevel planet pinions 10 found in the same place are brought into engagement with bevel control fixed support wheel 9. Carrier 1 is placed between central driving and driven gears for free turning around transmission axis 0-0 on driving or driven shaft. Main and additional planet pinions are mounted on radial axles of carrier for independent rotation. Main and additional planet pinions are provided with massive rims 11 thanks to which they can operate as inertia flyweights in form of flywheels. EFFECT: provision of smooth automatic change of transmitted torque depending on load on driven shaft and speed of shaft. 5 cl, 1 dwg
