Effect to the embodiment of the invention with said structure describes below.
As shown in Figure 2, active surface 29 abutting parts 29 that record from the axis L of transmission main shaft 21 1Distance A be certain value, active surface 29 abutting parts 29 that record from bicone supporting axle 37 1Be variable value (B apart from B L, B T).In addition, driven surface 30 abutting parts 30 that record from bicone supporting axle 37 1Distance C be variable value (C L, C T), from the axis L of transmission main shaft 21 to driven surface 30 abutting parts of being surveyed 30 1Distance D be certain value.
If the rotating speed of active surface 29 is N DR, driven surface 30 rotating speed be N DN, R is defined as R=N when gear ratio DR/ N DNThe time, then gear ratio R is provided by following formula:
R=N DR/N DN=(B/A)×(D/C)
Shown in the first half of Fig. 2, when motor E low speed rotation, the rotating speed of the driven gear 25 that reason driving gear 12 drives is low, so act on the centrifugal weight 55 of centrifugal mechanism 51 ... centrifugal force also little, the 2nd conical support 56 and the 1st conical support 31 are moved to the left under the spring force effect of spring 64.When the 1st conical support 31 is moved to the left, the abutting part 29 of active surface 29 1Bottom surface one side shifting to the 1st conical surface 40 of bicone 39 increases to maximum value B apart from B L, simultaneously, the abutting part 30 of driven surface 30 1To summit one side shifting of the 2nd conical surface 41 of bicone 39, distance C is decreased to minimum value C 1
Be certain value because of above-mentioned distance A, D this moment, so when increasing to maximum value B apart from B L, distance C is decreased to minimum value C 1The time, it is big that above-mentioned gear ratio R becomes, and speed change is to low rate (Low レ シ オ).
In addition, shown in the Lower Half of Fig. 2, when motor E high speed rotating, the rotating speed height of the driven gear 25 that reason driving gear 12 drives, so act on the centrifugal weight 55 of centrifugal mechanism 51 ... centrifugal force also big, the 2nd conical support 56 and the 1st conical support 31 are at the centrifugal weight 55 because of centrifugal force side shifting outside radial direction ... effect under, the resistance spring 64 spring force move right.When the 1st conical support 31 moves right, the abutting part 29 of active surface 29 1Summit one side shifting to the 1st conical surface 40 of bicone 39 is decreased to minimum value B apart from B T, simultaneously, the abutting part 30 of driven surface 30 1To bottom surface one side shifting of the 2nd conical surface 41 of bicone 39, distance C increases to maximum value C T
Be certain value because of above-mentioned distance A, D this moment, so when being decreased to minimum value B apart from B T, distance C increases to maximum value G TThe time, above-mentioned gear ratio R diminishes, and speed change is to two-forty (TOP レ シ オ).
So, can make gear ratio stepless variation between low rate and two-forty of stepless speed variator T according to the rotating speed of motor E.And can automatically carry out by centrifugal mechanism 51 because of the control of above-mentioned gear ratio, so manually carry out the situation of the gear change control device of speed change manipulation compares with the situation that the electrical shift control gear is set from the outside of casing 1 with setting, because of simple in structure, can reduce cost and make stepless speed variator T miniaturization.
As mentioned above, the rotation of active surface 29 is by bicone 39 ..., the gear ratio R with regulation is passed to driven surface 30, and further, the rotation of driven surface 30 is passed to output gear 66 by compression relief cam mechanism 67.At this moment, if, counterrotating words between driven surface 30 and output gear 66, occur, driven surface 30 is suppressed to the direction of leaving output gear 66 by compression relief cam mechanism 67 because of acting on the moment of torsion on the driven surface 30.This elastic force pressure makes it produce following surface pressure with the elastic force pressure synergy that is produced by butterfly spring 69: the abutting part 29 of active surface 29 1Be crimped on the 1st conical surface 40 of bicone 39 surface pressure and the abutting part 30 of driven surface 30 1Be crimped on the surface pressure on the 2nd conical surface 41 of bicone 39.
Though the elastic force pressure that is produced by above-mentioned compression relief cam mechanism 67 pushes output gear 66 left, because of the left end of output gear 66 is fixed in the left end of output shaft 22 with baffle ring 65, so above-mentioned left pushing force is passed to output shaft 22.In addition, though the elastic force pressure that is produced by above-mentioned compression relief cam mechanism 67 pushes driven surface 30 to the right, but this pushing force is from driven surface 30, by bicone 39 ..., active surface 29, inboard gear halfbody 26, sleeve 52, ball bearing 62, blowout patche 59, ball bearing 60 and baffle ring 61, be passed to the right-hand member of output shaft 22.
Therefore, compression relief cam mechanism 67 is with the load of output gear 66 and driven surface 30 direction pushing to the left and right, tension load as output shaft 22 works, and this tension load is output the internal stress of axle 22 and has offset, and the racking of compression relief cam mechanism 67 is not passed to casing 1.Therefore, needn't strengthen the intensity of casing 1,, help the lightweight of stepless speed variator T so that it can bear above-mentioned racking.And, because suppress active surface 29 and driven surface 30 both sides with 1 compression relief cam mechanism 67, thus with suppress active surface 29 respectively with another compression relief cam mechanism 67 and compare with the situation of driven surface 30, can reduce the parts number of packages and reduce cost.
In addition, when stepless speed variator T carries out speed change, the 1st conical support 31; because the transmitting torque counter-force of active surface 29; and rotation around transmission main shaft 21, but owing to be supported on the roller 36 of the moment of torsion pattern mechanism 33 on the 1st conical support 31, with the guiding groove 4 that is formed on the right case 4 1Fasten, so this transmitting torque is prevented from the slip vertically rotatably of the 1st conical support 31.
Vehicle will promptly quicken in the process of moving, and under the situation that Engine torque has been increased rapidly, along with the increase rapidly of above-mentioned Engine torque, the transmitting torque counter-force that acts on the 1st conical support 31 also will increase.Consequently, as shown in Figure 3, roller 36 is crimped on the guiding groove 4 of inclination by load F 1Wall on, by the guiding groove 4 of this load F 1The component F of direction 1, make the 1st conical support 31 suppress left side (low rate side) to Fig. 2.That is, because the effect of moment of torsion pattern mechanism 33, gear ratio automatically changes to the low rate side, therefore, can bring into play the so-called effect of turning down retaining, and vehicle is quickened.
Yet, control the above-mentioned gear ratio of turning down when keeping off, special gear change control device is not set, moment of torsion pattern mechanism 33 can automatically carry out according to the variation of Engine torque, therefore, since simple in structure, can realize that cost reduces and the miniaturization of stepless speed variator T.In addition, only change the guiding groove 4 of moment of torsion pattern mechanism 33 1Shape, just can adjust the variation characteristic of gear ratio at an easy rate.
The 1st conical support 31 of stepless speed variator T and the bottom of the 2nd conical support 56 are immersed in and store in the lubricant oil of casing 1 bottom, but because of supporting bicone 39 ... window 31 1With window 32 near driven gear 25 flank of tooth 2Be in the position (with reference to Fig. 2) that is higher than lubricant oil pasta OL, so the lubricant oil that does not have volume is immersed in the inner space of the 1st conical support 31 and the 2nd conical support 56 from the bottom of casing 1.In addition, even the lubricant oil of lubricated usefulness is from connecting the oil circuit 22 of output shaft 22 inside 1Supply to the inner space of the 1st conical support 31 and the 2nd conical support 56, this lubricant oil also can reason in the rotation of driven gear 25 and the action of centrifugal force that produces is splashed to the outside, therefore the inner space of the 1st conical support 31 and the 2nd conical support 56 only can keep lubricated necessary minimal lubricant oil.
So driven gear 25 only stirs a spot of lubricant oil, can be suppressed at inferior limit to the power loss that brings owing to the unnecessary lubricant oil of stirring.And,, can reduce the parts number of packages so special lubricant oil retardance part needn't be set because block by the 1st conical support 31 and 56 pairs of lubricant oil of the 2nd conical support.
As mentioned above, owing in the space that the 1st conical support 31 and the 2nd conical support 56 delimited, disposed driven gear 25, so compare with the occasion that this driven gear 25 is configured in outside the above-mentioned space, can not only reduce to stir oily resistance, and because active surface 29 and main concentric mechanism 51 separate configuration the left and right sides at driven gear 25, so can effectively utilize the volume in above-mentioned space, make stepless speed variator T compactness.
Fig. 5~shown in Figure 8 is the 2nd embodiment of the present invention.
The 2nd embodiment improves the 1st embodiment's moment of torsion pattern mechanism 33 and obtains; as illustrated in Figures 5 and 6; the 2nd embodiment's moment of torsion pattern mechanism 33 has guiding element 43, and this guiding element 43 can joltily be bearing on the diapire of right case 4 freely by the pin 42 that above-below direction extends.Guiding element 43 is to clip the roller groove 43 that pin 42, an end have the U font that engages with roller 36 1, and the other end has arm 43 2, at this arm 43 2Front end and be formed at spring seat 4 on the right case 4 2, 4 2Between, be provided with a pair of spring 44,44.When moment of torsion was not delivered on the 1st conical support 31, guiding element 43 was suppressed to the position that is in Fig. 6 parallel with transmission main shaft 21 by spring 44,44.
Therefore, when stepless speed variator T speed change, if the 1st conical support 31 is because the transmitting torque counter-force of active surface 29 will be around transmission main shaft 21 rotations, because the effect of this transmitting torque counter-force, guiding element 43 is around pin 42 swing, stops at the position with Fig. 7 (A) of the spring force balance of spring 44,44.The roller groove 43 of this moment 1Relatively the tilt angle alpha that become of the axis L of transmission main shaft 21 is not certain, changes with the variation of transmitting torque.Specifically because tilt angle alpha also increases when transmitting torque increases, so to the speed change of high side be difficult to carry out, the rotating speed increase of speed change.
Be roller groove 4 shown in Fig. 8 A (A) 1Tilt angle alpha be the speed change characteristic of the 1st fixing embodiment stepless speed variator T, be roller groove 43 shown in Fig. 8 (B) 1Tilt angle alpha be the speed change characteristic of variable the 2nd embodiment's stepless speed variator T.As this figure expressed, the 2nd embodiment's that tilt angle alpha is variable stepless speed variator T was at transmitting torque hour, tilt angle alpha diminishes, so can be with lower engine speed to high side speed change, not only quiet more travelling is feasible, and can also reduce specific fuel consumption.On the other hand, when transmitting torque was big, it is big that tilt angle alpha becomes, so can be feasible to high side speed change, more powerful travelling with higher engine speed.
On the contrary, when output shaft 22 1 side direction input shafts 23 1 sides were transmitted, just when engine braking, guiding element 43 was around pin 42 backswings at moment of torsion, stopped at the position with Fig. 7 (B) of the spring force balance of spring 44,44.In this case, roller groove 43 1The tilt angle alpha that the axis L of relative transmission main shaft 21 is become is not certain, can increase with the increase of transmitting torque yet.Therefore, on the abrupt slope during engine braking, because above-mentioned tilt angle alpha increases, so the speed change to high side is difficult to carry out, improved engine braking performance, on the level land during engine braking, because of above-mentioned tilt angle alpha reduces, carry out easily so become, can suppress motor and too brake to the speed change of high side.
More than describe embodiments of the invention in detail, but the present invention can carry out various change designs in the scope that does not depart from its main points.
