The invention relates to the technical field of stepless speed change, in particular to an inclined journal stepless speed change method and a gearbox, the gearbox comprises a speed change mechanism, a linkage
assembly, a transmission gear
assembly, a speed regulation journal and an output gear
assembly which are installed on a box body, and the method comprises the following steps that S1, the speed change mechanism drives a linkage rack to move so that the linkage rack can drive a linkage piece to move; s2, after the linkage piece moves, the driving point position of the linkage piece driven by the speed regulation shaft neck is changed, and then the movement
stroke of the linkage piece is changed; s3, the
stroke of the linkage piece is changed, so that the output speed of the transmission gear assembly driven by the linkage rack is changed; s4, changing the output rate of the transmission gear assembly to realize speed change of the output gear assembly; according to the inclined journal stepless speed change method and the gearbox, the motion
stroke change of the speed regulation journal is directly converted into the motion stroke change of the linkage rack, intermediate links in the speed change process are reduced, motion is directly converted through the linkage assembly,
power loss is reduced, and the stability of the working state and the speed change process is improved.
