CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION, REVERSE MECHANISM, VARIATOR, AND GEAR RATIO CONTROLLER Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F16H37/08 F16H3/14 F16H15/50 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: continuously variable transmission comprises housing, input and output shafts, reverse mechanism and multi-disk planet variator provided with planet reduction gear, which define a variator. The solar pinion of the reduction gear is fit on the output shaft with interference and its epicycle is secured to the housing of the transmission. The variator has epicycle mounted in the housing of the transmission and made of a stack of disks and solar pinion made of a disk stack mounted on the output shaft of the variator connected with the output shaft of the reverse mechanism. The carrier of the variator is connected with the carrier of the planet reduction gear and consists of two disks interconnected by means of tension bolts. The disks of the carrier have shaped slots the number of which is equal to the number of axles mounted in the shaped slots for permitting change of position and interaction with the disks of the solar pinion and epicycle. The gear ration controller is build in the carrier of the variator. The planet reduction gear, planet multi-disk variator, and reverse mechanism are axially aligned.

EFFECT: prolonged service life and expanded functional capabilities.
