The invention discloses a novel spherical umbrella three-dimensional
automatic transmission and a design method thereof, relates to the technical field of transmission, uses friction transmission as a
power transmission mode, and particularly relates to a spherical umbrella arc cone friction
continuously variable transmission which comprises a spherical umbrella friction
assembly, a spherical frame
assembly and a cambered
surface friction assembly. The ball umbrella friction assembly comprises a driving shaft with a tooth force arm support, a tooth force arm support cover plate, meshing arms arranged in the circumferential direction of the tooth force arm support at intervals, an umbrella frame sliding support installed on the driving shaft, an umbrella frame sliding support cover plate and a spring connecting the tooth force arm support and the umbrella frame sliding support. The connecting rod is connected with the meshing arm and the umbrella stand sliding support, the meshing head is installed at the top of the meshing arm, the tooth force arm support is fixed to the driving shaft, the meshing arm and the tooth force arm support are connected through a spherical hinge, the connecting rod and the meshing arm are connected through a pin, and the connecting rod and the umbrella stand sliding support are connected through a spherical hinge; the ball rack assembly comprises a ball rack support, ball rack groove beams arranged in the circumferential direction of the ball rack support at intervals, a ball rack support cover plate fixed to the ball rack support and ball rack positioning rings connected with the other ends of the ball rack groove beams, and the ball rack assembly is connected with the driving shaft through keys and can rotate along with the driving shaft. The cambered
surface friction assembly comprises a driven shaft and a friction
frustum, and the
generatrix of the friction
frustum is an arc line formed by the movement track of the outer contact surface of the meshing head. Compared with the prior art, the speed
reducer has the remarkable advantages of smaller volume, light weight, lower
energy loss, smooth operation, large speed ratio degree, simplicity in maintenance and the like.
