Continuously variable transmission: another approach to auto efficiency

Journal Article - Energy Res. Rep.; (United States)

Fuel economy from continuously variable transmissions will be pursued as part of the effort to improve automobile efficiency as much as 23 percent. Noise from the hydraulic system and higher pollutant emission problems must be solved before transmission improvements can be incorporated on a widespread basis. These problems also apply to the development of gas turbine drives and flywheel assistance concepts. Preliminary tests with trucks and buses using the variable transmission indicate a 50 percent saving is possible. The savings derive because engine efficiency is optimum at only one load (conventional engines compromise by having a series of ranges formore »« less
Appraisal of continuously variable transmission efficiency for lightweight vehicle applications

Conference Nuti, M ; Casalini, P

After some general considerations about the extended use of Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) for lightweight vehicles, which clearly show the two-fold advantage, the first of a very simple, compact and well integrated with engine transmission, the second to make possible the calibration of the engine only in a limited operating range, the efficiency of this type of transmission is investigated. A theoretical analysis of CVTs is carried out, in order to identify all the characterizing physical parameters. The design of a specific test rig is then presented. Since the transmission ratio depends on forces equilibrium, the centerline force appears tomore »« less
Continuously variable vehicular transmission for reducing transmission torque applied to belt-type continuously variable transmission mechanism

Patent Sumiyoshi, M ; Matsunari, F

This patent describes a continuously variable transmission for a vehicle, comprising: a torque converter driven by an engine; an input shaft connected to an output of the torque converter; a transmission output shaft; a transmission mechanism of variable ratio including a planetary gear mechanism and a controller for controlling rotational states of elements of the planetary gear mechanism. The transmission mechanism has at least reverse and forward low speed ranges of large reduction ratios and a forward high speed range of small reduction ratio. The transmission mechanism of variable ratio is in torque transmitting engagement with the input shaft andmore »« less
Device for adapting continuously variable transmissions to infinitely variable transmissions with forward-neutral-reverse capabilities

Patent Wilkes, Donald F ; Purvis, James W ; Miller, A Keith

An infinitely variable transmission is capable of operating between a maximum speed in one direction and a minimum speed in an opposite direction, including a zero output angular velocity, while being supplied with energy at a constant angular velocity. Input energy is divided between a first power path carrying an orbital set of elements and a second path that includes a variable speed adjustment mechanism. The second power path also connects with the orbital set of elements in such a way as to vary the rate of angular rotation thereof. The combined effects of power from the first and secondmore »« less

Ford/ERDA continuously variable transmission. Phase I. Transmission design. Progress report No. 9, January 1--March 31, 1976

Technical Report Stockton, T R

Progress is reported for a research program to analyze and design a Forster traction drive infinitely variable transmission for improving passenger car fuel economy. Many disc configurations were analyzed using a finite element analysis computer program, and performance and fuel economy estimates were made from a simulation model. An initial transmission layout design was completed, and test rig components were inspected and assembled. (PMA)
