What is the working principle of a transmission?
1 Answers
Transmission working principle involves two turbine blades assembled in a space filled with hydraulic oil, connected to the power input and output ends respectively. The impeller at the power input end generates a powerful vortex to drive the impeller at the output end, thereby achieving power transmission. The functions of a transmission: Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels; enabling the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the same engine rotation direction. Also known as a gearbox, the transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the transmission ratio between the output and input shafts in steps. Classification of transmissions: Stepped transmissions use gear drives with several fixed transmission ratios; continuously variable transmissions (CVT) can obtain any transmission ratio within the variable speed range; integrated transmissions refer to hydromechanical transmissions composed of a torque converter and a stepped gear transmission.
