CONTINUOUSLY-VARIABLE TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B60K17/10 F16H47/04 

FIELD: mechanical engineering and machine-tool building.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in vehicles and machine tools, different machines and mechanisms. Proposed continuously-variable transmission contains drive and output shafts and case accommodating drive and drive and driven constant-mesh gears, differential with coaxial gears mechanically engaging through planet pinions and provided with coaxial axle-shafts, and gear ratio changer including axial-plunger pump with inclined plate with rotary working member, pressure line and suction line connected with reservoir filled with working liquid. Adjustable bypass restrictor is installed in pressure line of pump. Output of restrictor is connected with said reservoir by drain line. Rotary working member of pump is made in form of block of working cylinders accommodating plungers, each being mechanically coupled with inclined plate. Differential is arranged inside working cylinder block of axial-plunger pump with coaxial arrangement of drive and driven gears and said block, and it has at least one pair of planet pinions installed for rotation in cylinder block of axial-plunger pump. Constant-mesh drive gear is connected with drive shaft, and constant-mesh driven gear is connected with drive gear of differential. Invention is aimed at enlarging functional capabilities of transmission owing to provision of limitation of speed of rotation and braking of output shaft, interruption of torque on shaft and control of delivery of pump included into gear ratio changer of transmission and increase of service life and provision of uniform rotation of output shaft and increase of efficiency of transmission.

EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities, increased efficiency of transmission.
