Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gearboxes, in particular to a CVT gearbox. Background Art

[0002] CVT transmission is a continuously variable transmission. It uses a different working principle from traditional transmissions and achieves continuously variable speed by adjusting the transmission ratio. CVT transmission can provide smoother acceleration and higher fuel efficiency because it can continuously adjust the transmission ratio while the vehicle is running, so that the engine is always in the best working condition. CVT transmission has been widely used in models of some car brands, especially in hybrid models.

[0003] At present, the common automatic transmissions for cars are CVT, AT and dual-clutch mainstream transmissions. CVT transmissions have smooth shifting, but the transmission torque is small; AT transmissions have large torque transmissions, but low transmission efficiency, high fuel consumption, and high manufacturing costs. When shifting, the power will be interrupted and the shifting time is long, resulting in obvious jerking. When shifting at low speeds, the mainstream dual-clutch transmission has obvious jerking, poor comfort, and poor fuel economy.

[0004] The Chinese patent with publication number "CN109372962A" discloses a CVT automatic transmission with gears, which includes shaft A, a gear mechanism A, a transmission belt, shaft B, a gear mechanism B, a gear mechanism C, and a gear mechanism D. One end of the transmission belt is sleeved on the V-shaped groove surface formed by the gear mechanism A and the gear mechanism D installed on the shaft A, and the gear mechanism B and the gear mechanism C at the other end of the transmission belt are installed on the V-shaped groove surface formed by the shaft B. The grooves uniformly opened on the inner surface of the ring of the transmission belt are connected with several semi-circular platforms A and semi-circular platforms B on the shaft A and shaft B. The gear pins A fixed on the nail plate A and the gear pins B fixed on the nail plate B are inserted into the corresponding holes on the conical plate. The present invention has the advantages of smooth gear shifting without frustration, high comfort and large torque.

[0005] Although the above-mentioned gearbox has the characteristics of smooth gear shifting without frustration, high comfort and large torque during use, it lacks a corresponding heat dissipation structure inside. Since the working principle of the CVT gearbox is different from that of the traditional automatic gearbox, it requires more friction elements to achieve stepless speed change. These friction elements will generate more heat, and the CVT gearbox usually does not have sufficient heat dissipation structure to effectively dissipate the heat, which may cause the gearbox to overheat, thereby affecting its performance and life. In addition, due to the working principle of the CVT gearbox, it requires higher lubrication requirements to ensure the normal operation of the friction elements and reduce wear. However, the existing CVT gearbox design does not have sufficient lubrication structure, and manual lubrication is often used during lubrication. There are certain deficiencies in lubrication and heat dissipation during the overall use, which need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0035] Principle and advantages of use: By setting the lubrication device 6, the gearbox can be started and opened by starting the solenoid valve 64 during use. At this time, the oil guide pipe 651 is connected to the inside of the lubricating oil tank 61, and the oil in the lubricating oil tank 61 enters the inside of the sliding sleeve 652 and the sliding pipe 653 through the oil guide pipe 651. During the rotation of the first transmission wheel group 2 and the second transmission wheel group 3, the oil-coated ball 655 is intermittently contacted and squeezed by the first transmission wheel group 2 and the second transmission wheel group 3. The oil-coated ball 655 rotates to apply the oil to the outer surface of the first transmission wheel group 2 and the second transmission wheel group 3. Since the oil-coated ball 655 is intermittently resisted and collided by the first transmission wheel group 2 and the second transmission wheel group 3, the buffer spring 656 can be extended and retracted. The extension and retraction buffer of the buffer spring 656 can play a good buffering role. The extension and retraction activity of the sliding pipe 653 can vibrate the ball, which can promote the discharge of lubricating oil and apply lubricating oil. After the lubricating oil is applied, the solenoid valve 64 can be closed. The oil guide pipe 651 is closed to facilitate the regular automatic lubrication of the device. At the same time, when the lubricating oil level drops to a certain level, the lubricating oil level inside the lubricating oil tank 61 can be assisted by the liquid level sensor 8 to facilitate the filling of lubricating oil after the lubricating oil level drops, which can improve the service life of the overall gearbox during use and the overall convenience of use of the device. The automatic lubrication function can ensure that the friction elements inside the CVT gearbox are fully lubricated, reducing the need for manual lubrication, thereby reducing maintenance costs. A good automatic lubrication system can ensure the normal operation of the internal components of the CVT gearbox, reduce friction and wear, and thus extend the service life of the components. The automatic lubrication function can ensure that the CVT gearbox can maintain a good lubrication state under various working conditions, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the system. Good lubrication can reduce energy loss and improve transmission efficiency, so that the CVT gearbox has better performance and fuel economy;

[0036] By providing the heat dissipation device 7, the device can be operated by starting the heat dissipation fan 74 during use. When the heat dissipation fan 74 is in operation, it can absorb and send external air through the installation slot 72, and the external air can enter the interior of the chassis 1 through the bulk slot. After the air enters the interior of the chassis 1 for heat exchange, it can be discharged through the heat dissipation slot 75, which can improve the overall heat dissipation rate inside the gearbox. Good heat dissipation function can ensure that the CVT gearbox can effectively dissipate the heat generated during operation to avoid overheating, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the system. Effective heat dissipation can reduce the temperature of the internal components of the CVT gearbox, slow down the aging rate of the components, and extend the service life of the components. Through effective heat dissipation, the CVT gearbox can be maintained at a lower operating temperature, reduce friction loss, and improve transmission efficiency, so that the car has better performance and fuel economy. Good heat dissipation function can reduce the failure of the CVT gearbox caused by overheating and reduce maintenance costs.
