Definitions
- This invention pertains to transmissions having variable ratios between input and output velocities. Specifically, it relates to all-gear transmissions whose velocity ratios may be changed continuously over a wide range of values ranging from zero to non-zero values, without depending on friction.
- US 5603240 does not have a co-axial input to output and therefore cannot be used for applications requiring this configuration.
- the output travels as the ratio is changed. Therefore, this design cannot be used when stationary output is required.
- US 20100199805 offers a sinusoidal output and uses several modules just to minimize the "ripple" when a steady and uniform input is provided.
- the patent US 9970520 offers a steady input to output ratio and co-axial input and output shaft in a comparably smaller envelope than that of its prior art. This is achieved with a use of a set of non-circular gears using as few as three modules. The drawback is that it is hard to mass produce the desired non-circular gears and will add significant manufacturing cost. It is also difficult to accurately design the tooth profile to achieve a uniform input to output ratio.
- the present invention uses a custom designed Geneva wheel mechanism to achieve uniform rack velocity during functional region and circular/ non-circular gear for non-functional region.
- the portion of the region used by the Geneva wheel mechanism is also non-functional region which overlap with the non-functional region achieved by the circular/non-circular gears for smooth transition. It is also possible to use Geneva wheel mechanism for functional and non-functional region. However, it will be economical to use a partial circular gear for the non-functional region.
- the path of the Geneva slot engaging with the Geneva pin determines the shape of the functional or non-functional region. Using a commonly used Geneva wheel mechanism with straight slot will not achieve uniform rack movement in the functional region and these slots has to have a specific shape to achieve uniform rack movement in the functional region. In general, a Geneva wheel mechanism has straight slot and is commonly used in applications needing indexing.

- All the gears in the following component list can be replaced with a sprocket and chain system.
- the noncircular gear system can be replaced with a sprocket and chain system where at least one of the sprockets is non-circular.
- a Crank pin 9 (Fig. 3B), revolves around the longitudinal axis of an Input disk 10
- the input shaft is slotted to allow the crankpin and link to pass thru it allowing the longitudinal axis of the input shaft or the input disk to be co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the crank pin.
- the Slotted rack holder 11 is restricted such that it can move only in the direction that is normal to its slot.
- a Rack 12 is fastened to the Slotted rack holder 11 , such that the Rack 12 is parallel to the Slotted rack holder's 44 direction of movement.
- the Crank pin shaft 23 is orthogonal to the Input shaft 4. The revolution of the Crank pin 9 about the longitudinal axis 1021 of Input disk 10 is translated to pure linear back and forth movement or reciprocating movement of the Rack 12. This mechanism is commonly known as "Scotch-Yoke- Mechanism" in the industry.
- the distance of this linear back and forth movement is directly proportional to the radial distance of the Crank pin 9 from the longitudinal axis 1021 of the Input disk 10. Since the work done is constant, which is a product of force applied multiplied by the distance traveled (F*stroke), for a smaller stroke, the force applied is greater and for a longer stroke, the force applied is smaller.
- the Rack 12 is linked to a Pinion 14 (Fig. 4A) converting this linear movement of the Rack 12 to rocking oscillation of the Pinion 14.
- This rocking oscillation is converted to a unidirectional rotation, using a One-way bearing/ Computer- Controlled-Clutch / Ratchet-mechanism 22.
- One main purpose of this invention is to achieve a CONSTANT AND UNIFORM output angular velocity when the input angular velocity is constant and uniform. However, using the steps described above, this is NOT achieved, as the output is sinusoidal.
- Patent US9970520 uses a pair of non-circular gears to achieve this. This invention achieves it by using modified Geneva mechanism customized for this.
- Angular-Velocity-Modifier-Module (Fig. 2)
- the main purpose of this module is to change the uniform power input to a reciprocal of sinusoidal output. This is to reverse the effect of the sinusoidal output in a scotch yoke mechanism.
- This module comprises of:
- a one-way bearing can be placed between the circular or non-circular gear linking the Geneva slot wheel to the partial driven gear.
- either the Geneva pin wheel or the Geneva slot wheel can be made driving or driven.
- Scotch-Yoke-Module (Fig. 4A, 4B): The main purpose of this module is to convert circular motion to a reciprocating motion. The output is sinusoidal for a steady, uniform input. This output is converted to a steady, uniform output using Angular-Velocity-Modifier-Module.
- the Input disk 10 has a radial slot.
- the Slotted rack holder 11 has a slot namely "Crank-Pin-Slot” 1013. It also has an extension on either side of the slot at the middle of the slot. This extension is normal to the Crank-Pin-Slot 1013.
- the Slotted rack holder 44 is placed on the other side of the Input disk 10 sandwiching the Input disk 10between the Slotted rack holder H and a Ratio-Changing-Mechanism, which is described in subsequent paragraphs.
- the Input shaft 66 has a non-circular hole in the middle. This is paired with a Sliding-Collar with a matching exterior contour, which is co-axially placed allowing relative axial movement while restricting rotational angular displacement with respect to each other.
- Two thrust-Bearings 40 are co-axially placed in contact with one on either end of the Sliding-Collar 67 as shown in Fig. 22D and the Sliding-Collar-Auxiliary- Shaft 67 has a pivot 1028 on the other end.
- One end of a Link 68 is attached to the pivot 1028 and the other end of the Link 68 is either attached to the Crank pin 9, as shown in (Fig.
- two Racks 64 can be placed on the Slotted rack holder 11with a phase shift of 180° engaged with their respective pinions placed co-axially on a common pinion shaft via a one-way bearing/computer-controlled clutch/a ratchet mechanism to allow the pinion shaft to rotate in a specific direction.
- Many of these scotch yoke modules can be stacked and all the pinions of all the modules can be placed on one common pinion shaft, making the pinion shaft the output of the IVT. Further this common pinion shaft can be made hollow allowing the power shaft which drives the driving Geneva pin wheel, to pass thru. With this arrangement a co-axial input to output can be achieved.
- Dummy-Crank-Pin 43 The Crank pin 9 is placed off-center when the Input disk 10 revolves. This imbalance will result in vibration. To compensate this, a Dummy-Crank-Pin 43 is placed at same distance 180° apart. This movement is identical to the movement of the Crank pin 9.
- the dummy crank pin is attached to a dummy link that links to the dummy crank pin 43 that is pivoted to the collar placed to move in the opposite direction of the crank-pin.
- the input shaft is slotted to allow the link and crank pin and dummy link and dummy crank pin to pass thru
- Dummy-Rack 55 for counter oscillation As the Input disk 10 rotates the Slotted Rack holder 11 has an oscillatory motion which will result in vibration. It is cancelled by having an appropriate mass oscillating in the opposite direction. This is achieved by pinion as shown in Fig.4A&4B in contact with the Rack 12, which will spin back and forth. Bringing an appropriate mass in contact with the pinion at 180° apart will compensate for this vibration. A separate wheel can also be used in spite of the pinion or a lever pivoting on the pinion shaft can be used to link the rack and the dummy rack such that they move in opposite direction. A slider connecting the lever and sliding in a slot normal to the rack teeth will guide the lever allowing the rack and dummy rack to only slide in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the rack.

- the ideal rack velocity profile is as follows:
- a planetary system can be used to compensate for any deviations from the desired Rack 12 movement profile.
- a Stationary Sun Gear 36 with respective to the ratio modifier frame 2 is placed co-axial with a driven circular or non-circular gear 40 which is driven by a driving circular or non-circular gear 39 as appropriate. This can be used in addition to the Geneva wheel system. This is shown in Fig.43A& 43B. This driving circular or non-circular gear is mounted on the power shaft 29.
- One or more Shaft-Cam 37 is placed on the driven circular or non-circular gear 40 which acts like a carrier of the planetary gear system.
- a Cam-Gear 38 is rigidly attached on the Shaft-Cam 37.
- Each of this Cam-Gear 38 is made to engage another Cam-Input-Shaft 41 each, which is rigidly attached on the Input shaft 8.
- the cams can be designed to give a desired rack velocity profile. The above configuration will also work when the stationary sun is replaced with a stationary ring gear. This is shown in Fig. 44A&44B.
