Toroidal continuously variable gearbox for vehicle - has gearwheel with axial projection in chamber located between shaft and inlet/outlet plates

摘要

A circular layout, continuously variable gearbox for the linear changing of torque transmission has a first and a second transmission unit arranged coaxially side by side, in order to locate on pair of inlet and outlet plates adjacent to each other. The torque transmitting gearwheel has an axial projection located in an intermediate chamber, which extends axially, and which is located between the torque transmitting shaft and one pair of inlet and outlet plates. The gearwheel is thereby held directly via the torque transmitting shaft. USE/ADVANTAGE - Continuously variable drive for vehicle, has torque transmitted via gear mounted between adjacent circular disks without axial compounding and without vertical positioning errors relative to the shaft.
