Abstract
The present invention is directed to a continuously variable transmission system that includes an asymmetric differential spliter, a collecting planet carrier assembly and steering shaft with continuously variable brake mechanism to translate torque from an input shaft to an output shaft.
Claims1
A continuously variable transmission apparatus usable with a power supply system to transfer power from an input shaft 1 to an output shaft 14, comprising:
- a) an asymmetrical differential spliter means including;
- (I) a differential gears support 2 directly monted on and driven by said input shaft 1;
- (II) a differential gear 3 rotatably monted on said differential gears support 2 and mating engaged with output differential gears 4 and 5
- (III) said output differential gear 4 monted medially along on steering shaft 6
- (IV) said output differential gear 5 monted to ring gear 8 and to the rotatable part 9 of a one-way clutch assembly 10
- b) a collecting planet carrier assembly including;
- (I) a Sun gear 7 monted on said steering shaft 6 and meshed with planet gear 12;
- (II) said ring gear 8;
- (III) said planet gear 12 rotatably mounted on planet gear support 13 and rotatably linked by common engagement with said Sun gear 7 and said ring gear 8;
- (IV) said gear support 13 rigidly mounted to said output shaft 14
- c) said steering shaft 6 with a brake disk 15 and stacionary brake 16.
