Continuously variable transmission (CVT)（无级变速传动(CVT)）.pdf

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) CVT • CVT allows for the operation at the lowest possible speed and highest possible load, partially avoiding the low efficiency region of the engine map. • A continuously variable transmission (CVT) transfers power through a range of speed/torque ratios from engine input to output, continuously without interruption • Contrast with either manual or conventional automatic transmissions that use discrete ratios and normally disengage when changing ratio • The CVT category includes infinitely variable transmissions (IVT) that give a zero output speed within the operating range Simple Friction Drive Low Output Speed (Low gear selected) Constant input speed Engine driven input shaft drives disc with friction Output shaft surface connects to wheels Friction Drive: High Speed High output speed (top gear, high ratio) Constant input speed Movement between ratios takes place without steps and gives a continuous change of ratio Friction Drive: Zero Output Geared Neutral with input rotating gives IVT Zero output speed when disc moved to Constant input speed line up with c
