DRIVE SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY FOR A VEHICLE, COMPRISING A FLYWHEEL

摘要

A drive system (103) has a driven shaft (107), a driving shaft (105) and a flywheel (119) both of which can be connected to the driven shaft (107) through a clutch (117). The drive system (103) furthermore has a continuously variable transmission (125) located between the flywheel (119) and the clutch (117). The driving shaft (105) can drive the flywheel (119) through the continuously variable transmission (125). A further clutch (123) is positioned between the continuously variable transmission (125) and the flywheel (119), to enable disengaging the flywheel (119) from the rest of the drive system. Further, an epicyclical gearing (131) is applied between the clutch (117) and the further clutch (123). This way, only one CVT with a smaller ratio coverage suffices.
