Abstract
Description
本発明は、自動車等の車両や工具、家電製品に利用可能な無段変速機に関する。 The present invention relates to a continuously variable transmission that can be used in vehicles such as automobiles, tools, and home appliances.
現在、無段変速機の代表的なものとして、ベルト式やトロイダル式のCVTがある。 Currently, there are belt type and toroidal type CVTs as typical examples of continuously variable transmissions.
前記、従来のCVTは構造が複雑でメンテナンスや製造コストがかかり、利用範囲が限られている。また、駆動力の伝達を制御するクラッチまたはトルクコンバーターを別に設置する必要がある。 The conventional CVT has a complicated structure, requires maintenance and manufacturing costs, and has a limited range of use. In addition, it is necessary to separately install a clutch or torque converter that controls transmission of driving force.
本発明は、簡素化した構造ながらスムーズな無段変速を提供出来、クラッチの機能も有するのでコストの大幅な削減が出来る。 The present invention can provide a smooth continuously variable transmission with a simplified structure, and also has a clutch function, so that the cost can be greatly reduced.
本発明の原理は、入力側と出力側それぞれの回転軸に、同じ大きさのコマ様に回転する半球体を取り付け、互いに緯度45度で向かい合わせに圧接し、接する緯度の相反する変化により変速比を変えるものである。 The principle of the present invention is that hemispheres that rotate like the same size are attached to the rotation shafts on the input side and the output side, press against each other at a latitude of 45 degrees, and the speed changes by the opposite changes in the contact latitude. It will change the ratio.
また、入力側半球体の極側端と、出力側半球体の赤道側端にクラッチに対応する素材を取り付け、クラッチ機能を併有する無段変速機である。 In addition, the continuously variable transmission has a clutch function by attaching a material corresponding to the clutch to the pole end of the input hemisphere and the equator end of the output hemisphere.
本発明の利点としては、変速比の変化が比較的短時間で行えることと、クラッチ機能も兼ね備えているので、クラッチと変速の制御がひとつの動作で行える点である。
また、クラッチ機能を必要としない動力源、たとえば電動機等に使用する場合は、駆動力の回転が0の時でも自由に変速比の選択が出来る。The advantage of the present invention is that the gear ratio can be changed in a relatively short time and the clutch function is also provided, so that the clutch and gear shift can be controlled in one operation.
Further, when used for a power source that does not require a clutch function, such as an electric motor, the gear ratio can be freely selected even when the rotation of the driving force is zero.
本発明の実施の形態を図1、図2に基づいて説明する。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
半球体の構造は、軽量化と放熱を図るため中空の金属製1,2で、1のAと2のCにはクラッチ作用に対応した素材を、B、B′には適度の粘着力を得られる弾性素材を取り付ける。接触する球面の範囲は、赤道側と極側の軸受け取り付けのため双方から同じ角度分を省いた面となる。 The structure of the hemisphere is made of
極から中心を通る回転軸は、二箇所に設けたユニバーサルジョイント3とジョイント間の伸縮継ぎ手4により、それぞれ入出力側につながる。 The rotation axis passing from the pole to the center is connected to the input / output side by the
それぞれの半球体を保持するため、球の中心を通り赤道と平行に回転軸5を設け、前述の回転軸を通し、アーム6を伸ばし極側の軸受けと一体化する。
これを操作軸とする。In order to hold each hemisphere, a
This is the operation axis.
二本となった操作軸の下端は、保持枠10の底面に設けた軸受けに挿入固定し、二個の扇形歯車7を取り付け噛み合わせて連動させる。
上端には、球面の接触圧力を調整することが出来る連結金具8を取り付け、天井の保持枠10に固定する。
操作軸の一端9は、制御機器につながる。The lower ends of the two operating shafts are inserted and fixed to a bearing provided on the bottom surface of the
At the upper end, a connecting fitting 8 capable of adjusting the spherical contact pressure is attached and fixed to the
One
二つの球面が常に適正な位置にある様に、操作軸の回転角度を制限するストッパーを設ける。 A stopper that limits the rotation angle of the operating shaft is provided so that the two spherical surfaces are always in the proper positions.
図2においては、二つの半球体は軽く接している状態にある。いわゆるクリープ現象の状態である。 In FIG. 2, the two hemispheres are in light contact. This is a so-called creep phenomenon.
走行状態にない時は、入力側の操作軸が反時計回りに、出力側の操作軸は時計回りに回転して、二つの半球体は完全に離れた位置になる。 When the vehicle is not in a running state, the input operation shaft rotates counterclockwise and the output operation shaft rotates clockwise, so that the two hemispheres are completely separated.
走行するときは図2の状態からアクセルの操作により、入力側の操作軸が時計回りに回転するように制御され、1のA部と2のC部が徐々に圧着され滑らかに駆動力が伝わる。
図2の状態が長時間続くと、Cに偏磨耗が生じる恐れがあるためA、Cの素材の組み合わせに配慮する必要がある。また、磨耗した際に交換が容易な構造とする。When driving, the input side operation shaft is controlled to rotate clockwise by the accelerator operation from the state of FIG. 2, and the A part and the C part of 2 are gradually pressed and the driving force is transmitted smoothly. .
If the state of FIG. 2 continues for a long time, there is a risk that uneven wear will occur in C, so it is necessary to consider the combination of materials A and C. Also, the structure should be easy to replace when worn.
変速はB、B′の接触範囲において無段階に行われる。 The speed change is performed steplessly in the contact range of B and B ′.
本発明は、クラッチと変速機の機能を有するため、自動車等の製造コストの軽減に寄与する。また、変速比を無段階で素早く変えることが出来るので、電気自動車等で回生ブレーキを使用する際に、効果的なモーターの回転数を制御するのに有利である。 Since the present invention has functions of a clutch and a transmission, it contributes to a reduction in manufacturing costs of automobiles and the like. Further, since the gear ratio can be quickly changed steplessly, it is advantageous for controlling the effective motor speed when using a regenerative brake in an electric vehicle or the like.
本発明を、図5の例により複数個並列に組み合わせて連動させれば、回転力の伝達をより大きく出来、図6の例により複数個直列に組み合わせれば、変速比の変化の幅を非常に広くすることが出来る。
また、ジョイント部分をワイヤーに置き換えるなどして小型化も出来るので、用途は様々に広がる。If the present invention is combined in parallel in the example of FIG. 5 and interlocked, the transmission of the rotational force can be increased, and if the plurality of combinations in series in the example of FIG. Can be widened.
In addition, the size of the joint can be reduced by replacing the joint with a wire.
