STEPLESS TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F16H3/74 F16H47/04 

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used as gearbox in vehicles or as actuator in tank armament stabilizers. Proposed stepless transmission contains power differential 1, comparing differential 30, regulating differential 2, two self-braking mechanisms 3, 4 operating in release mode, two regulators, and mechanism 36 for equalizing speeds of rotation of central gears of regulating differential. Input of power differential 1 is connected with drive and with input of regulating differential 2. Central gears 17, 18 of power differential are rigidly connected with driven members 15, 16 of self-braking mechanisms and are connected with central gears of comparing differential 30 to provide rotation of the latter in opposite directions. Driving members 13, 14 of self-braking mechanisms are connected with central gears of regulating differential by mechanism 36 equalizing speeds of rotation and are rigidly connected with regulators.

EFFECT: enlarged range of change of gear ratio, improved dynamic characteristics of vehicle, its reliability and multipurposeness.
