AUTOMATIC INFINITELY VARIABLE MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F16H33/14 

FIELD: mechanical engineering, transport engineering, machine-tool industry.

SUBSTANCE: proposed transmission includes coaxial drive shaft 1 and driven shaft 2 with drive sun cylindrical gear 3 and driven cylindrical sun gear 4 secured on them, main cylindrical satellites 5 and 6 mounted on radial axles of carrier 7 and additional bevel satellites 8 engaged with bearing wheel 9 provided with two gear rings 14 and 15 and overrunning clutch 17. Shaft of main satellites is parallel to 0-0 axis of transmission. Gear ring 14 is taper in form and is engaged with additional satellites 8. Gear ring 15 is engaged with intermediate wheel 11 of bearing wheel drive. Drive wheel 10 of drive is secured on drive shaft 1. Axle 12 of intermediate wheel 11 of drive is mounted in transmission body 13. Drive and driven sun gears 3 and 4 are located on different side from 0₁-0₁ radial axes of carrier. Additional satellites 8 are provided with sturdy rims.

EFFECT: extended range of automatic control of torque and rotational speed of driven shaft depending on load.
