Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of transmission, and relates to a continuously variable transmission device in which the speed regulating centrifugal force does not act on a cone disk. Background Art
[0002] The cone-disc type continuously variable transmission transmits power by establishing rolling friction through the conical surfaces of two pairs of cone disks clamping annular transmission parts (metal belts, rubber belts, etc.), and achieves speed regulation by changing the rolling radius of the annular transmission parts on the cone disks. Its two most core structures are the speed regulation system for adjusting the transmission ratio (referred to as "speed regulation") and the thrust system for providing the clamping force for transmitting torque (referred to as "clamping force").
[0003] The speed control systems of the common cone-disc continuously variable transmissions today are divided into three categories: the first category achieves speed control by establishing thrust through hydraulics; the second category achieves speed control by establishing thrust through centrifugal force; and the third category achieves speed control by controlling a mechanical transmission device through an electric motor.
[0004] The hydraulic speed control solution is currently mainly used in the field of fuel passenger cars with small and medium torque. The torque capacity is generally in the range of 100Nm to 200Nm. Its disadvantages are:
[0005] 1. The hydraulic system has high manufacturing process requirements and the electronic control system is complex, resulting in high cost and low reliability of the hydraulic speed control solution;
[0006] 2. When transmitting large torque speed regulation, high speed regulation power is required (such as overtaking, accelerating and downshifting conditions). The configuration of a high-power hydraulic pump reduces the mechanical transmission efficiency, that is, the hydraulic speed regulation solution is not suitable for vehicle machinery fields with a large torque transmission range (such as heavy-duty trucks, medium and large agricultural tractors, some wind turbines, etc.).
[0007] The centrifugal speed control solution is mainly used in small power vehicle fields such as scooters and beach cars. The torque capacity of the power source is generally within 50Nm. Its main disadvantages are:
[0008] 1. The centrifugal speed regulating thrust acts on the cone disc and the annular transmission parts, resulting in excessive clamping force and a short service life, which is especially unsuitable for use in the field of medium and large vehicle machinery;
[0009] 2. Centrifugal speed regulating force will cause excess clamping force required to transmit torque, resulting in low mechanical efficiency.
[0010] The invention patent with publication number CN103867678A proposes a structure for speed regulation by controlling the mechanical structure through a motor. The mechanical system in this speed regulation scheme needs to set two bearings on the active cone disc and the passive cone disc to isolate the speed. The speed reduction motor drives the speed regulation mechanical system to achieve synchronous and unidirectional movement of the active and passive cone discs to complete the speed regulation. The disadvantages of this scheme are as follows:
[0011] 1. Actively controlled reduction motors require electronic control software and hardware to achieve speed regulation, which increases the complexity of the system, resulting in high costs and reduced reliability;
[0012] 2. The four bearings of the speed regulating mechanical system that bear high speed and high thrust reduce the mechanical transmission efficiency;
[0013] 3. For cone-disc continuously variable transmissions used in medium and large vehicles (such as those with a power source torque of 400Nm), the maximum speed regulation thrust will exceed 10 tons, and at the same time, it will withstand a speed of more than 8000rpm. The physical limits of the thrust bearing cannot effectively adapt to the working conditions, and limit the application field or service life of the speed regulation solution.
[0014] There are significant differences in the torque characteristics and energy consumption characteristics of internal combustion engines and electric motors:
[0015] 1. The motor can output a constant maximum torque from 0rpm to the rated speed, while the internal combustion engine can usually operate stably at 800rpm (gasoline engine), and its output torque characteristics show a parabolic trend;
[0016] 2. The motor can output power at a constant power within the range of rated speed to 2 times the rated speed. When the maximum speed of the motor exceeds 2 times the rated speed, the energy efficiency will be reduced, and the cost of the mechanical system and the electronic control system will increase. The speed and power output characteristics of the internal combustion engine are monotonically increasing, and the peak power speed of the internal combustion engine is usually equal to the maximum speed of the engine.
[0017] 3. The speed in the high-efficiency energy consumption zone of the motor is usually between the rated speed and 2 times the rated speed, and the corresponding high-efficiency torque range is usually between 10% load rate and 90% load rate. The high-efficiency energy consumption speed zone of the internal combustion engine is usually between 30% maximum speed and 40% maximum speed, and the corresponding torque energy consumption high-efficiency zone is between 50% maximum torque and 70% maximum torque.
[0018] Due to the significant differences in the power and energy consumption characteristics of vehicle-mounted motors and internal combustion engines, the requirements for the adapted transmission and its speed regulation strategy are also significantly different as follows:
[0019] 1. The requirement of the motor drive for the transmission is to make the heavy load and maximum speed of the vehicle as much as possible within the range of rated speed to 2 times the rated speed, that is, the motor speed of the vehicle equipped with the motor drive is less than the rated speed to 2 times the rated speed, and the maximum speed ratio is maintained to meet the maximum wheel torque output under the vehicle load. When the rated speed is exceeded or 2 times the rated speed, the speed ratio is reduced to maintain the motor speed within the range of rated speed to 2 times the rated speed, ensuring that the available backup power of the motor meets the vehicle use requirements;
[0020] 2. The requirements of the transmission for internal combustion engine drive are that the speed ratio of the vehicle under heavy load conditions should be kept at the maximum; the speed ratio of the vehicle under uniform speed conditions should be adjusted to maintain the energy-efficient zone to ensure vehicle driving; the speed ratio should be adjusted to a high speed to maintain stable engine operation; the speed ratio should be adjusted to a high speed to increase the speed of the internal combustion engine to provide the power required for acceleration; the speed ratio should be adjusted to the speed at which the engine can output maximum power under the vehicle's highest speed conditions;
[0021] The electrification or hybrid configuration of vehicle power units is a development trend. Compared with internal combustion engines, electric motors have excellent low-speed torque performance, high energy conversion efficiency, and fast power output response; electric drive configuration transmission can solve the contradiction between heavy load, higher speed and cost of vehicles; in summary, the market urgently needs a low-cost transmission that can be adapted to both internal combustion engine drive and electric drive to meet the development needs of the vehicle industry. Summary of the invention
[0022] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a continuously variable transmission device in which the centrifugal force for speed regulation does not act on the cone disc, so as to solve the problems of short life, low mechanical transmission efficiency and unsuitability for medium and large vehicle machinery due to excessive clamping force in the existing centrifugal speed regulation scheme, and high cost and poor adaptability to the extreme performance of the thrust bearing in the electromechanical speed regulation scheme; and without the need to set up an active speed regulation system, by setting the elastic coefficient of the elastic component to adapt to the application requirements of electric drive and internal combustion engine driven vehicle machinery, it brings the advantages of long life, low cost, high transmission efficiency, simple and reliable structure, thereby significantly improving the application prospects of the cone disc type continuously variable transmission in the era of vehicle electrification.

[0110] The main torsion plate 24 is connected to the two shafts 15 in a relatively axially movable and circumferentially fixed manner; a secondary torsion ramp groove 24-2 matching the main torsion ramp groove 24-1 is provided on the non-conical end surface of the movable cone plate 19 of the two shafts; in the installed state, the torsion rolling body 20 is clamped in the middle position between the main torsion ramp groove 24-1 and the secondary torsion ramp groove 24-2; one end of the second elastic component 26 of the two shafts is against the end surface of the non-main torsion ramp groove 24-1 of the main torsion plate 24, and the other end is against the fifth support seat 27 fixedly connected to the two shafts 15. It should be noted that the connection method of the fifth support seat 27 and the two shafts 15 can be integrally manufactured, fixed with a locking nut or other non-rotatable and non-axially movable connection methods.

[0112] In this embodiment, three groups of auxiliary torsion ramp grooves 24-2 and main torsion ramp grooves 24-1 for clamping the torsion rolling body 20 are provided and are evenly arranged along the circumference of the two-axis movable cone disk 19; it should be noted that the positions of the thrust unit and the torsion unit on the two shafts 15 are not unique, and in other embodiments other than this embodiment, the thrust unit can be arranged on the outside, and the torsion unit can be arranged on the inside, which also belongs to the scope of protection of the present invention;
[0113] In this embodiment, the first elastic component 25 of the two axes is a butterfly spring with three stacked pieces, the second elastic component 26 of the two axes is a butterfly spring with five stacked pieces, and the first elastic component 3 of the one axis is a butterfly spring with seven stacked pieces;
[0114] In another embodiment, the speed regulating push rod 10 may also pass through the outer ring of the fixed centrifugal disc 7 (outside of the centrifugal block 6) to achieve the same function.
[0115] The method of use of Example 2 is as follows:
[0116] Taking the application of pure electric vehicles as an example, the second shaft 15 is used as the power input shaft and the first shaft 1 is used as the output shaft, and the typical working conditions are analyzed:
[0117] When the vehicle speed is zero and before the power is transmitted, the mechanical clearance 28 between the main thrust disc 22 and the second-axis dynamic cone disc 19 has been eliminated by the torque unit driving power source to rotate forward, and the thrust rolling body 21 is located at the position of the secondary thrust ramp groove 22-2 and the main thrust ramp groove 22-1. 0+ / N 0+ The torsion rolling element 20 is located at the X position between the secondary torsion ramp groove 24-2 and the primary torsion ramp groove 24-1. 0+ / Y 0+ , the centrifugal body 6 is located at the lowest point H0 / J0 of the dynamic centrifugal ramp groove 4-1 and the fixed centrifugal ramp groove 7-1, at which time the transmission speed ratio is the maximum (such as Fig.12 shown);
[0118] When the vehicle transmits torque and reaches the maximum speed from zero speed, the centrifugal body 6 compresses the first elastic component 3 of the first axis under the action of centrifugal force and pushes the dynamic centrifugal disc 4 to move axially. At the same time, the thrust generated by the dynamic cone disc 19 of the second axis under the action of the torque unit and the thrust unit acts on the dynamic cone disc 11 of the first axis through the annular transmission member 9 to enable it to achieve synchronous axial movement and speed regulation with the dynamic centrifugal disc 4; at this time, the thrust rolling body 21 is located at the M1 / N2 position of the secondary thrust ramp groove 22-2 and the main thrust ramp groove 22-1, the torsion rolling body 20 is located at the X1 / Y2 position of the secondary torsion ramp groove 24-2 and the main torsion ramp groove 24-1, the second elastic component 26 of the second axis is extended, and the centrifugal body 6 is located at the highest point H1 / J1 of the dynamic centrifugal ramp groove 4-1 and the fixed centrifugal ramp groove 7-1. At this time, the transmission speed ratio is at the minimum (such as Fig.13 shown).
[0119] When the vehicle switches to the braking energy recovery working condition, the process of the torsional rolling body 20 climbing from position X1 / Y2 to X2 / Y1 will compress the second elastic component 26 of the second axis and provide the clamping force required for transmitting the reverse torque. At the same time, the first elastic component 25 of the second axis pushes the main thrust disc 22 to move axially and presses the thrust rolling body 21 to prevent the thrust rolling body 21 from leaving the thrust ramp groove in this working condition, while satisfying the rolling motion of the thrust rolling body 21 (the thrust provided by the first elastic component 25 of the second axis only needs to meet the thrust of the main thrust disc 22 axially in this working condition). until the thrust rolling body 21 falls back from M1 / N2 to M0 / N0 and climbs to M2 / N1, the thrust unit starts to provide the clamping force required to transmit the reverse torque; because the mass of the power source is relatively small, the energy consumed in the process of compressing the second elastic component 26 of the second axis can prevent the thrust rolling body 21 from rushing directly from M1 / N2 to M2 / N1 quickly, causing the annular transmission member 9 to slip and vibrate and impact. At this time, it is a transient working condition, the vehicle speed has not been reduced in time, the centrifugal block 6 is still in the H1 / J1 position, and the transmission speed ratio is still at the minimum (such as Fig.14 This working process explains the principle of reverse drag transmission of power.
[0120] When the vehicle is moving from the maximum speed (such as Fig.14 As shown in the figure, the centrifugal force of the centrifugal body 6 decreases with the decrease of the vehicle speed, and the centrifugal body 6 falls from the highest position H1 / J1 to the lowest position H0 / J0 under the thrust of the first elastic component 3 of the first shaft. At the same time, the thrust of the first elastic component 3 of the first shaft acts on the first shaft movable cone disc 11 through the speed regulating push rod 10, and is transmitted to the second shaft cone disc unit through the annular transmission member 9. The second shaft movable cone disc 19 squeezes the thrust rolling body 21 from M2 / N1 to M 0+ / N 0+ At the same time, the main thrust disc 22 is pushed to move axially and compress the second-axis first elastic component 25 until the main thrust disc 22 abuts against the fourth support seat 23, and the torsion rolling body 20 falls back from X2 / Y1 to the middle position X 0+ / Y 0+ , at this time the transmission speed ratio is at its maximum (such as Fig.12 shown).
