[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] By using one of the elastic elements for pressurization and the elastic element on the other axis for speed regulation, and reducing or canceling the disc spring force of the axis with the speed regulating screw, the maximum efficiency reaches 94%. In the existing common technical scheme, the maximum efficiency is 90%. By reasonably limiting the size relationship of the two elastic elements (preferably disc springs), the force of the disc spring used for pressurization on the first axis can independently meet the axial force required for the cone disk to transmit power, while the force of the speed regulating disc spring is much smaller than this requirement; and by limiting the size relationship between the two, the force of the pressurizing disc spring increases linearly with the increase of the compression amount, and the force of the speed regulating disc spring remains unchanged or decreases as much as possible when the compression amount increases. At the same time, the above settings make the simultaneous speed regulation faster, and the speed regulation time is increased from 8 seconds in the original scheme to 2 seconds in the current scheme. After the axial force is reduced, the system life is increased by 50% compared with the original scheme. At the same time, the bearings in the speed regulating mechanism can adopt unidirectional force bearings. Compared with the bidirectional force bearings of the earliest disc spring patent, the bearing positioning structure can be simpler, the number of parts can be reduced, the weight can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
[0022] By making specific settings for the disc spring material, its cycle life reaches 2 million times, while the cycle life of other conventional disc spring materials does not exceed 100,000 times.
[0023] By setting the speed regulating mechanism in a coordinated manner between a high-speed cam and a low-speed cam, a larger transmission ratio is achieved. At the same time, the transmission efficiency is 30-40% higher than that of a worm gear, and the efficiency of a worm gear is generally around 30-50%.
[0024] By setting the relationship between the movable cone disc stroke, cone disc inclination angle and cone disc size, the transmission ratio range can be maximized.
[0025] By setting the number of disc springs, the stroke and the axial clamping force can be guaranteed.
[0026] The number of disc springs is set within the range of the present invention to ensure the stroke and life of the disc springs, so that the structure can be the most compact while ensuring the axial pressure and stroke. If the disc springs are an odd number, the small diameter can be pressed on the shaft with a smaller diameter, and the large diameter can be pressed on the movable cone disk with a larger diameter, which can effectively support the movable cone disk. This can reduce the thickness of the movable cone disk, that is, reduce the system weight and size, and reduce the deformation of the movable cone disk, which can improve the system efficiency by 1.5-3%.
[0027] By properly setting the working range of the disc spring and selecting the linear section (the straight section is selected in the prior art), it will be more in line with the pressure requirements of the CVT. The maximum overload of the axial force does not exceed 1.5 times, and the maximum overload of the original solution is 4 times.
[0028] By properly setting the relationship between the inner diameter of the disc spring and the shaft diameter, the centering and dynamic balance after compression are ensured. The maximum vibration of the transmission is reduced by about 10g compared with the original scheme by using the formula of the present invention. By setting wire rings between the disc springs to position each other, centering and dynamic balance are also ensured. The maximum vibration of the transmission is reduced to 15g compared with 20g of the original scheme by using this structure.
[0029] By arranging a dynamic balancing block or a dynamic balancing hole on the shaft, and arranging the dynamic balancing hole on the outer cylindrical surface of the fixed cone or the dynamic cone, the maximum vibration of the transmission is reduced to 17g compared with the original scheme of 20g.
[0030] By setting the relationship between the maximum width A0 of the chain / belt and the center distance a, the structure can be more compact and more efficient while meeting the power transmission requirements. The axial distance using this formula can be 2a, and the maximum efficiency can be 94%; the axial distance of the solution not using this formula can be 3a, and the maximum efficiency is 90%.
[0031] By setting the oil outlet at the specific position where the movable cone is farthest from the fixed cone, and setting a specific formula for the size of the oil outlet, the lubrication effect of the oil outlet is best, and the service life can be significantly improved. The durability is verified by the enhanced test, and it is found that compared with the durability of the prior art (durability of the enhanced test) is less than 200 hours, the above-mentioned setting of the present invention can increase the durability (durability of the enhanced test) to about 600 hours after improvement.
