TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of stepless speed change, and relates to a stepless speed change power confluence composite shafting. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important technology of modern automobile transmission system, continuously variable transmission (CVT) is favored for its unique fuel economy and driving comfort. Compared with traditional step transmission, continuously variable transmission can realize continuous change of transmission ratio, so that the engine always works in the most efficient speed range, greatly reducing fuel consumption and improving the fuel economy of the vehicle. At the same time, due to the smoothness of continuously variable transmission, the vehicle hardly feels the impact of gear shifting during acceleration and deceleration, providing a more quiet and comfortable ride experience for the driver and passengers.
[0003] Among the many ways to realize stepless speed change, it is undoubtedly an extremely important technical approach to realize power confluence output through coupling structure after multiple input power. This design ingeniously allows power from different power sources (such as engine, motor or other power sources in hybrid power system) to be efficiently coupled inside the transmission, and then output to the wheels in an optimized way. This coupling structure not only greatly improves the efficiency of power transmission, but also significantly enhances the power performance and response speed of the vehicle, making the vehicle perform well in various driving conditions.
[0004] However, in order to meet the needs of different driving speeds, continuously variable transmission usually needs to be set with multiple working zones to realize stepless speed change. These working zones are divided according to various factors such as vehicle speed, engine load and driver's intention, and each working zone corresponds to a specific range of transmission ratio change. Although this multi-zone design improves the adaptability and flexibility of the transmission, it also makes the design of the transmission system, especially the shafting structure, extremely complex. The design of multi-zone, multi-power coupling input requires the transmission system to have high integration and coordination. The shafting structure not only needs to withstand the torque and speed changes from different power sources, but also needs to realize smooth transition and switching between multiple working zones. This requires the shafting structure to have sufficient strength and stiffness to ensure stable and reliable performance under extreme conditions such as high speed and high load. At the same time, the design of the shafting structure also needs to consider factors such as transmission efficiency, noise control and vibration suppression, making the design difficulty and implementation cost greatly increased.
[0005] In summary, the implementation of multi-zone, multi-power coupling input in the prior art will result in complex design of the transmission system, especially the shafting structure, and difficult implementation. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
