What is a Continuously Variable Transmission?
1 Answers
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) refers to a type of automatic transmission system in vehicles that can continuously obtain any transmission ratio within the gear range. A CVT is a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. Its working principle is as follows: in a CVT transmission system, traditional gears are replaced by a pair of pulleys and a steel belt. Each pulley consists of two conical discs forming a V-shaped structure. The engine shaft is connected to the smaller pulley, which drives the larger pulley via the steel belt. The functions of the transmission are: 1. Changing the transmission ratio to meet the traction requirements under different driving conditions; 2. Enabling reverse driving to meet the needs of backward vehicle movement; 3. Interrupting power transmission; 4. Engaging neutral gear.
