CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION WITH BOTH EQUAL- DIFFERENCE OUTPUT AND EQUAL-RATIO OUTPUT TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicle transmission, and in particular, to a continuously variable transmission with both equal-difference output and equal-ratio output. BACKGROUND The vigorous promotion of agricultural modernization calls for further development of agricultural machinery. Agricultural power machinery represented by tractors generally needs to deal with transfer and operation conditions. Their complex working environments and variable loads raise increasingly high requirements on the integrated performance of the transmission system. At present, the common transmission modes of tractors include hydrostatic transmission and mechanical transmission. The hydrostatic transmission is flexible and stable, but it has low efficiency and is limited by the power of hydraulic components, so it is not suitable for large tractors. Although the mechanical transmission has high efficiency, it requires more gears to adapt to different driving and working conditions, which leads to a complex structure, increased operation difficulty, and poor vehicle fuel economy. The hydro-mechanical hybrid transmission has the advantages of large power density of the hydraulic transmission and high efficiency of the mechanical transmission. It realizes the hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission by reasonably adjusting the variation range of the displacement ratio, so that gear shift without power interruption can be carried out and a wider speed regulation range can generally be reached. Therefore, the hydro-mechanical hybrid transmission is gradually being used in agricultural machinery and military vehicles.

The hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission can be divided into two stages, three stages, four stages, and the like. If more continuous stages are provided, the mechanisms and operations become more complex, but the hydraulic power is increased by larger multiples and the transmission efficiency is also higher. The speed regulation ranges of the hydraulic stage and the hydro-mechanical stage are related to the displacement ratio. The adjustment range of the displacement ratio of the two-way variable displacement pump is [-1,1]. The displacement ratio changes from -1 to 1 in a forward stroke and changes from 1 to -1 in a reverse stroke. The displacement ratio being -1 or 1 is corresponding to the beginning or the end of each stage. Through alternate switching between the forward and reverse strokes, small stepless speed regulation intervals corresponding to the stages are joined to realize global stepless speed regulation and thus extend the speed regulation range. The equal-difference continuously variable transmission, generally consisting of hydraulic stages and hydro-mechanical stages, requires that the difference between the output speeds at the beginning and the end of each stage is equal and the stages are linked to each other. For example, if the equal-difference continuous transmission consists of i stages (1>=2), the requirement of continuity must be met first, that is, the output speed at the end of the first stage is equal to the output speed at the beginning of the second stage, and the rest can be deduced in the same manner till the output speed at the end of the (i-1)™ stage is equal to the output speed at the beginning of the i* stage. Besides, the requirement of equal difference is met, that is, the difference between the output speeds at the end and the beginning of each stage is equal. Therefore, the equal-difference continuously variable transmission is realized. The equal-ratio continuous output generally consists of multiple hydro-mechanical stages but no hydraulic stage, so that the situation where the output speed at the beginning of a stage is 0 does not exist. It requires that the ratio between the speed at the end and the speed at the beginning of each stage is a common ratio and the stages are linked to each other. For example, if the equal-ratio continuous transmission consists of i stages (i>=2), the requirement of continuity must be met first, that is, the output speed at the end of the first stage is equal to the output speed at the beginning of the second stage, and the rest can be deduced in the same manner till the output speed at the end of the (i-1)™ stage is equal to the output speed at the beginning of the i" stage. Besides, the requirement of equal ratio is met, that is, the ratio between the output speeds at the end and the beginning of each stage is equal. Therefore, the equal-ratio continuously variable transmission is realized. Appropriate hydraulic stages and hydro-mechanical stages are selected to form equal-ratio four- stage continuous output and two modes of equal-difference two-stage continuous output. It should be noted that, in the equal-ratio four-stage continuous output, the hydraulic stage is only used for zero-speed startup and the reverse gear and is thus not included in the total number of stages in the equal-ratio continuous output; the hybrid output stage is a hydro-mechanical stage provided when the coupling mechanism is engaged and can be selected according to the actual situation in the case of hybrid equal-difference output and equal-ratio output.

When output in the equal-difference two-stage mode I is adopted, zero-speed startup is carried out at the pure hydraulic transmission stage Hi and the output speed increases linearly with the increase of the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump. When the displacement ratio e changes from 0 to 1, the output speed in the hydraulic transmission Hi reaches the positive maximum value from zero. In the reverse gear working condition, that is, when the displacement ratio changes from 0 to - 1, the hydraulic transmission Hi reaches the negative maximum value and can be synchronously shifted to the hydro-mechanical transmission HM. As the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump changes from -1 to 1, the output speed continues to increase negatively. When 2 =1+k, and 2 = 4 equal-difference two-stage stepless shift is formed between the hydraulic transmission Hs and the hydro-mechanical transmission HM. by adjusting the displacement ratio of the hydraulic transmission mechanism 2 and selectively controlling the clutch assembly, wherein ki is the planetary gear characteristic parameter of the front planetary gear mechanism. When output in the equal-difference two-stage mode II is adopted, zero-speed startup is carried out at the pure hydraulic transmission Hs and the output speed increases linearly with the decrease of the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump. When the displacement ratio e changes from O to -1, the output speed in the hydraulic transmission Hj reaches the positive maximum value from zero and can be synchronously shifted to the hydro-mechanical transmission HM. As the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump changes from -1 to 1, the output speed continues to increase positively. In the reverse gear working condition, that is, when the displacement ratio changes from 0 to 1, the stage Hs reaches the negative maximum value. The equal-difference continuous transmission has a constant maximum output torque and an evenly changing speed and is mostly used for a vehicle steering mechanism. The equal-difference mode I has a wider negative speed regulation interval than the equal-difference mode II, the equal- difference mode II has a wider positive speed regulation interval than the equal-difference mode I, and an appropriate equal-difference mode can be selected according to actual needs during the application process.

When the equal-ratio four-stage output is adopted, zero-speed startup is carried out at the pure hydraulic transmission stage Hz. As the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump changes from 0 to -1, the output speed increases from 0 to the positive maximum value and the transmission can be synchronously shifted to the first hydro-mechanical stage HM. As the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump changes from -1 to 1, the output speed at the beginning of the stage is multiplied by the common ratio to obtain the output speed at the end of the stage, and the transmission can be synchronously shifted to the second hydro-mechanical stage HM. As the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump changes from 1 to -1, the output speed at the beginning of the stage is multiplied by the common ratio to obtain the output speed at the end of the stage, and the transmission can be synchronously shifted to the third hydro-mechanical stage HM;. As the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump changes from -1 to 1, the output speed at the beginning of the stage is multiplied by the common ratio to obtain the output speed at the end of the stage, and the transmission can be synchronously shifted to the fourth hydro-mechanical stage HM4. As the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump changes from 1 to -1, the output speed at the beginning of the stage is multiplied by the common ratio to obtain the output speed at the end of the stage. The reverse gear working condition is also realized by the pure hydraulic stage Ha. As the displacement ratio e of the variable displacement pump changes from O to 1, the output speed changes from 0 to the negative maximum value. The equal-ratio continuous transmission generally has a constant maximum output power, so that a large torque is obtained in the low-speed stage and a small torque is obtained in the high-speed stage, which facilitates variable-speed propulsion and is applied to vehicle transmission mechanisms. ‘When the coupling mechanism L is engaged, hybrid equal-difference output and equal-ratio output can be realized. For example, in the startup working condition, the equal-ratio pure hydraulic transmission Hy is used for zero-speed startup and then linked to the stages HM, HM, HM;, and HM, in order, thereby realizing forward equal-ratio output; the equal-difference mode is adopted in the reverse gear working condition, that is, the reverse half stage of the pure hydraulic transmission Hi is linked to the hydro-mechanical transmission HM. Therefore, the speed regulation range of the transmission device is effectively improved, and the transmission can be shifted to the hybrid output stage, that is, the hydro-mechanical transmission HMs and HMs, according to actual needs during the speed regulation process. The transmission device of the present disclosure obtains 12 mechanical gears to deal with emergencies when the hydraulic speed regulation system fails, wherein four mechanical gears Mi, Ma, M5, and Ms are output from the equal-difference end while the other eight mechanical gears Ms, Ma, Ms, Ms, Mo, Mio, M1, and Mi: are output from the equal-ratio end, and when the coupling mechanism is engaged, the mechanical gears can be output from the two ends at the same time. The 12 mechanical gears include forward gears and reverse gears to meet the requirement of variable- speed propulsion of common stepped mechanical transmissions.

Therefore, the speed regulation range [-0.25,4]n. of the output speed is realized, wherein My(0,2n,), M3(0,2n,), Myo(0,3n,), and M4(0,3) are mechanical points. FIG. 15 shows characteristic curves of speed regulation in hybrid equal-difference output and equal-ratio output. When the coupling mechanism L 6 is engaged, hybrid equal-difference output and equal-ratio output can be realized. For example, in the startup working condition, the equal-ratio pure hydraulic transmission Hz is used for zero-speed startup and then linked to the stages HM, HM, HM, and HM; in order, thereby realizing forward equal-ratio output; the equal-difference mode is adopted in the reverse gear working condition, that is, the reverse half stage of the pure hydraulic transmission Hj is linked to HM, and the transmission device can realize the speed regulation range of [-0.75,4]n.. Therefore, the speed regulation range is extended, and the transmission can be shifted to the hybrid output stage, that is, the hydro-mechanical transmission HM; and HM, according to actual needs during the speed regulation process. FIG. 16 shows mechanical gear speeds. When the hydraulic path fails, outputs of the 12 fixed mechanical gears can be realized by pure mechanical transmission, wherein the four mechanical gears Mi, Ma, My, and Ms are output from the equal-difference output shaft 4-1 while the other eight mechanical gears Ms, Ms, Ms, Ms, Mo, Mio, M11, and Mi; are output from the equal-ratio output shaft 5-6, and when the coupling mechanism L 6 is engaged, the mechanical gears can be output from the two ends at the same time. The 12 fixed gears include 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears to meet the requirement of variable-speed propulsion of common stepped mechanical transmission mechanisms.
