A SATELLITE INERTIA MODULA AND A STEPLESS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROVIDED THEREWITH

摘要

The module consists of: a holder 1 with even number of weights attached radially and loosely to it, designed as sectors 2 having equal mass and configuration. The mass centre C of the sector 2 is located in the part designed with shorter radius of the arc. The transmission consists of: an input shaft 8 mounted to a corpus 7 and assembled with a central ring gear with internal teeth 9 connected kinematically to shafts 10 with loose geometrical axes by means of satellite ring gears 15 mounted to the shafts. The shafts 10 are at least two and the satellite inertia modules 11 are mounted statically to them in two or more parallel lines. The satellite inertia modules are in mechanical contact with a carrier 12 mounted to the corpus 7 and connected mechanically to the output shaft 13. The satellite modules 11 are dephased one toward the other.
