Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to gearbox technical field, concretely is a cvt mute chain gearbox. BACKGROUND

[0002] The development of CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) technology can be traced back to the early 20th century. The initial CVT design uses rubber belts or chains to achieve continuously variable transmission. Although these early designs can achieve the function of continuously variable transmission, they have limitations in torque transmission capacity and durability. With the advancement of technology, steel belts and steel chains have been gradually introduced into CVT design to improve the torque transmission capacity and durability of the gearbox. CVT mute chains usually use special chain structure and materials to reduce noise and vibration during transmission.

[0003] Patent document CN221443247U discloses a cvt mute chain gearbox, which "includes a planetary gear mechanism, and further includes a driving cone and a driven cone. The driving cone includes a driving cone shaft, and a first fixing member is fixedly connected to one side of the outer side of the driving cone shaft. A driving cone fixed disc is movably connected to the middle part of the outer side of the driving cone shaft. A planetary gear set connecting gear is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer side of the driving cone shaft. A driving variable wheel is movably connected to one side of the outer side of the driving cone fixed disc. A driving cone piston is movably connected to one side of the inside of the driving variable wheel. The utility model moves the driving variable wheel to the taper surface direction of the driving cone fixed disc, and simultaneously moves the driven variable wheel to the taper surface direction of the driven cone fixed disc. The driving variable wheel and the driven variable wheel move synchronously, change the transmission ratio, and control the clamping force of the transmission chain. This is beneficial to reducing the change of clamping force and affecting the transmission efficiency." However, the cvt mute chain gearbox disclosed in the above document mainly considers moving the driving variable wheel to the taper surface direction of the driving cone fixed disc, and simultaneously moving the driven variable wheel to the taper surface direction of the driven cone fixed disc. The driving variable wheel and the driven variable wheel move synchronously, change the transmission ratio, and control the clamping force of the transmission chain. This is beneficial to reducing the change of clamping force and affecting the transmission efficiency.
