An automatic transmission consisting of a planetary gear unit comprising in combination an input shaft (1), an input gear (2), a key planet gear (3), an output gear (4), an output shaft (5), a bearing planet gear (6), a rotating frame (7), a rotor (8), wherein the planet shaft is the rotor (8) having a certain inertia moment, so its revolving is equivalent to the precession of a gyroscope due to an external force wherein the precession-production external force is the load acting on the output shaft (5). Hence the revolutionary speed of the rotor (8) varies depending upon changes in the output load and the same holds true for the rotational speed of the output shaft (5), which makes the speed ratio spontaneously vary with changes in the outpot load. Accordingly, the transmission of the present invention operates at speed ratios spontaneously varying with changes in load, without any controlling operation.
A gyro precessional automatic transmission comprising a planetary gear unit wherein a planet shaft functions as a gyroscope by adding a certain inertia moment thereto, thereby power being transmitted and wherein revolution of the planet shaft becomes a precession of itself due to an output load, thereby speed spontaneously varying with changes in the output load;
A gyro precessional automatic transmission comprising a planetary gear unit comprising a plurality of planet shafts and a plurality of rotors with a given inertia moment respectively mounted on a rotating frame wherein the rotors are capable of rotating relative to the rotating frame and thus keep the rotating frame from rotating, functioning as gyroscopes when rotating, thereby power being transmitted and wherein if the rotating frame rotates by an output load, the rotors go into precession, and further comprising an automatic critical torque clutch whereby, if the output load is below a prescribed limit, the front and rear shafts of the transmission are connected, thus the whole of the transmission becoming a single shaft and a direct connection drive being made and whereby, if the output load exceeds a prescribed limit, the connected shafts are disconnected, thus the rotors going into precession and gear ratio spontaneously varying with changes in the output load.
A gyro precessional automatic transmission, comprised of a planetary gear unit wherein a planet shaft functions as a gyroscope by adding a certain inertia moment thereto, thereby power being transmitted and wherein revolution of the planet shaft becomes a precession of itself due to an output load, thereby gear ratio spontaneously varying with changes in the output load,
