DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION

摘要

A mechanical rotary device for continuously variable transmission, the device comprising: a primary rotor adapted to transfer power from a rotary power source to an output shaft; a central rotating member comprising a first set of conical rollers operable by the first set of gears and a second set of conical rollers operatively connected to a second set of gears, mounted in an opposite direction to the first set of conical rollers, axially around the primary rotor. The device further comprises a power transfer ring, adapted to move axially along both sets of conical rollers to transfer power from the first set of conical rollers to the second set of conical rollers, thereby varying the rotation of the output shaft.

1. A rotary device for continuous variable transmission comprising:
a primary rotor adapted to transfer power from a rotary power source to an output shaft; a first set of gears in driving engagement with a central input gear attached to the primary rotor; a central rotating member comprising a first set of conical rollers operable by the first set of gears and a second set of conical rollers operatively connected to a second set of gears, wherein the second set of conical rollers are mounted in an opposite direction to the first set of conical rollers, axially around the primary rotor. a central output gear operable by the second set of gears to rotate the output shaft; and a power transfer ring, adapted to frictionally engage with a parallel outer surface of both sets of conical rollers and movable axially along the central rotating member to transfer power from the first set of conical rollers to the second set of conical rollers, thereby varying the rotation of the output shaft.
