Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of infinitely variable speed transmission, it has at least two driving components and at least one link, and this link effectively connects these two driving components each other and this link is arranged to its position and can moves relative to these driving components are stepless.
Background technique
A variety of infinitely variable speed transmissions have been arranged, and wherein, the position of a link that two driving components are coupled together is these driving component step-less adjustment relatively.For example, a kind of conical friction ring transmission device is disclosed from GB-PS298676.In described form of implementation, the axis ground that is parallel to the conical friction ring guides a guiding element on an axis of guide, and this guiding element guides this friction ring along the cone friction wheel.So just realized the step-less adjustment of the velocity ratio of conical friction ring transmission device.But, need a kind of very complicated special driving mechanism of structure that makes transmission device in order to regulate friction ring.
Summary of the invention
Task of the present invention is so to improve the control of friction ring, promptly keeps infinitely variable speed transmission as small as possible, thereby it can advantageously especially also be used as automotive transmission.Task of the present invention is finished by an infinitely variable speed transmission, this infinitely variable speed transmission has at least two driving components and at least one link, this link effectively links to each other these driving components and this link is arranged to its position and can moves relative to these driving components are stepless, wherein this link is arranged in the guide mechanism, this guide mechanism can support rotationally around a rotatingshaft, axially the having and be parallel to a component of being established by the plane of two axis clamping of driving component of this rotatingshaft.As a result, this just means that rotatingshaft is parallel to this plane earth setting or is arranged in this plane, and perhaps this rotatingshaft and this Plane intersects are in an acute angle.Advantageously, when guide mechanism rotated the moving axis rotation, this link was for example by a movably relative driving component translation of bearing.Rotate according to the guide mechanism moving axis that rotates on which direction, link is along first direction or the second direction translation opposite with first direction.
In this case, especially this translational motion preferably can be determined uniquely by the rotation of these two driving components, thereby, the rotation that only has been required to be the moving axis that rotates just applies independent power, and moves or power that translational motion itself is required provides by drive path itself or the rotation by these two driving components and link.
Here, term " guide mechanism " is meant a kind of structure, and wherein, link rotating support on the one hand, and on the other hand, link also can be by guide mechanism these driving component translations relatively.
Because the translational motion of link realizes by the rotational motion of guide mechanism basically, so, the link position is moved relative to driving component is stepless.Therefore, the structure of infinitely variable speed transmission of the present invention is very compact.
For reliable and fault-free ground obtain such link position, infinitely variable speed transmission also can irrespectively have the station acquisition mechanism of a machinery with all the other features of the present invention, and it passes the position signal that ground, one next door transmits a machinery.
In this case, particularly advantageous is even if that under the structurally very difficult operating conditions, accurate data can be obtained and transmit to the position signal of the station acquisition mechanism of machinery or machinery also.For example, because the position signal of machinery is arranged, just can abandon being located immediately at electronic component and/or optical element in the zone of driving component or link.According to the present invention, especially can abandon being close to the electronic component or the optical element of driving component, thereby the high temperature there and the existence of friction drive liquid can have influence on station acquisition work described herein sharply.Therefore, disturb and realized position measurement rarely, guaranteed the reliable position measurement that job security is outstanding thus.
In addition, task of the present invention is finished by a kind of infinitely variable speed transmission, it has at least two driving components and at least one link, this link effectively couples together these driving components and it is arranged to its position and can moves relative to these driving components are stepless, wherein, infinitely variable speed transmission has a station acquisition mechanism, can utilize this station acquisition mechanism to obtain the relative position of relative at least one driving component of link when this transmission device stops.By such station acquisition mechanism, just can provide information at any time about the link position when transmission device stops or when motor stops.So, can with the operating mode of at that time the infinitely variable speed transmission position of favourable definite link irrespectively.In addition, even if between each parts, occurred skidding, also can determine the relatively position of at least one driving component of a connection piece very exactly because station acquisition mechanism that should machinery or position signal that should machinery can with a tachometric survey mechanism irrespectively detection position and transmission information.
The present invention is specially adapted to be used in known conical friction ring transmission device itself, and wherein, moment of torsion is as being delivered to an output cone from the friction ring of an input cone by a rotation, otherwise or.
According to meaning of the present invention, term " position signal of machinery " is meant and is applicable to any member that mechanically the link position is passed to a second area from a first area.Here, term " first area " preferably be meant infinitely variable speed transmission, wherein just be provided with the zone of driving component or link.On meaning of the present invention, term " second area " comprises one of infinitely variable speed transmission zone or a zone that is arranged in fully outside the infinitely variable speed transmission of being different from the first area.Under any circumstance, first area and second area are mainly distinguished by the heat condition that existed at that time, and especially in infinitely variable speed transmission work, such heat condition is distinct at that time first area and second area.
A modification form of implementation regulation, the position signal of machinery links to each other with data capture mechanism and/or DPA data processing activity.Having guaranteed thus reliably to grasp effectively according to the friction ring position provides the information of the position signal of machinery also also can handle this information.The fact proves that also such data capture mechanism and/or DPA data processing activity can realize by standardized optical element and/or electronic component economical and highly beneficially.
A modification form of implementation regulation, this next door is a casing wall of infinitely variable speed transmission.So, can work together and very reliably transmission data is passed to data capture mechanism and/or DPA data processing activity.
Thus, the next door is that a fluid locular wall of infinitely variable speed transmission is very favourable.So just guaranteed, for example can in a fluid chamber that is full of friction drive liquid, measure to reliable operation position signal and reliable operation ground this position signal of output from this fluid chamber of machinery.
Pass such next door by the position signal that makes machinery, can arrange data capture mechanism and/or DPA data processing activity enough far away with the high-temperature zone of infinitely variable speed transmission, therefore, normalized optical element or standard electronic element just can be used as data capture mechanism and/or DPA data processing activity.
Very advantageously be, the position signal of a machinery passes the layout in one next door (no matter being the fluid locular wall or the casing wall of infinitely variable speed transmission) and can structure realize very simply, has had for a long time in the prior art because the position signal of guiding machinery passes such wallboard.Especially with regard to sealing problem, the position signal of such machinery only proposes not too strict requirement to the structure solution of infinitely variable speed transmission.
The a particularly preferred embodiment regulation, the position signal of a translation is converted into the position signal of a rotation.Like this, this mechanical position signal is integrated in the infinitely variable speed transmission with can economizing very much ground.Because such switching mechanism is known in the prior art, so the gearing of the position signal of such machinery can transmit very reliably.
Therewith relatively, by being fact proved it is very advantageously, link that can stepless displacement has a guide mechanism, and this guide mechanism is bearing on the rotatingshaft and this rotatingshaft has the position signal of a rotation.So, the structure of infinitely variable speed transmission that has the position signal of this mechanical station acquisition mechanism or machinery is economized ground very much because one can stepless displacement the rotatingshaft as the guide mechanism of a friction ring of the guide mechanism that just had originally of link be used as this mechanical position signal.Like this, especially can solve the sealing task very simply, can realize fairly simple and inexpensively because pass the sealing of one next door and rotatingshaft rotational motion.
