What is the Basic Principle of a Transmission?
1 Answers
The basic principle of a transmission is: 1. To use gear meshing transmission combinations with different numbers of teeth to achieve changes in speed and torque, thereby altering the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the driving wheels; 2. To enable the car to obtain different traction forces and speeds during starting from a standstill, climbing, turning, and accelerating; 3. To keep the engine operating within a favorable working range. Transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions consist of gears and shafts, while automatic transmissions are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system. The functions of a transmission include: 1. Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels; 2. Utilizing the reverse gear to enable the car to move backward while maintaining the same rotation direction of the engine.
