Patent Searching and Data


Title:
バリエータ支援変速機
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6659070
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is provided, where the CVT has an input shaft (2) drivable by an engine, and an output shaft (4) connectable to a load. A variator (12) has an input side connected to the input shaft (2), and an output side. The variator (12) is adjustable so as to vary a transmission ratio between the input and output sides. A differential transmission (34) has a first differential input element connected to the input shaft (2), a second differential input element connected to the output side of the variator (12), and first and second differential output elements. A range transmission (60) has a first range input element (58), and at least one range output element (75) connected to the output shaft (4). A first connecting component (52) selectively connects the first differential output element to the first range input element (58). A second connecting component (56) selectively connects the second differential output element to the first range input element (58). The first and second connecting components (52,56) are located in a connecting space defined between the differential and range transmissions (34,60). The transmission further comprises a third connecting component (84) which selectively connects the first range input element (58) to the output shaft (4). The third connecting component (84) is located on the opposite side of the range transmission (60) from the connecting space. A vehicle incorporating this CVT, and a method of operating the CVT are also provided.
