What is the working principle of continuously variable transmission?
1 Answers
The working principle of continuously variable transmission is: using a hydraulic torque converter to generate torques of different strengths, thereby transmitting torque to achieve continuously variable transmission. Types of continuously variable transmissions: 1. Mechanical: There are various forms, the most common being the cone-block metal V-belt type transmission, used in automobiles; 2. Hydraulic transmission type: used in engineering vehicles and agricultural machinery; 3. Electric type: used in electric vehicles. Starting devices for automotive continuously variable transmissions include: 1. Electromagnetic clutch type: large in mass and size, with low thermal load capacity; 2. Electronically controlled wet friction plate type: small in structural size, fast in response, and with low energy loss; 3. Hydraulic torque converter type: large starting torque, good hill-start performance, easy driving, good driving performance, and capable of reducing vibration and impact caused by uneven engine torque.
