Continuously variable transmission having lubrication nozzle outputs at maximum power transmitting secondary radial belt position

摘要

Described is a continuously variable transmission (1) comprising a rotatable drive pulley (2) and a driven pulley (5), each of which having an axially displaceable sheave (4, 6) for transmission ratio control by varying the running radii of a torque transmission belt (8) running between the sheaves (3, 4; 6, 7); and a lubrication nozzle (9) having an output (O1, O2) for supplying a lubricating fluid to a midpoint (M1, M2) at the inner side of the belt (8), whereby at least one output (O1) of the lubrication nozzle (9) at the driven pulley (5) is directed to the midpoint (M1) of the transmission belt (8) while running in a transmission ratio (TOP) area, wherein a maximum power is transmitted by the transmission belt (8). The belt (8) is thus effectively cooled at a radial position within the driven or secondary pulleys (2), where due to a maximum power loss the generated heat is maximal. <IMAGE>
