Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing planetary friction gear continuously variable transmission faces inefficiencies in torque loading due to insufficient pressing force at the contact point between the tapered roller and the transmission ring, obstructed by friction forces and accuracy issues at contact points.
Innovation Solution
The design includes a hollow cone-like carrier with a trapezoid cross-section, notched input and output support sections, and a loading mechanism with a rolling body that presses the ring roller and output shaft axially when a torque differential occurs, utilizing a tapered groove and cam mechanism to enhance pressing force.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If a loading mechanism with a rolling body is installed in the circular groove between the ring roller and the output shaft, then torque loading is enabled when a torque differential arises, but sufficient pressing force at the contact point between the tapered roller and the transmission ring cannot be obtained due to friction forces and accuracy issues at contact portions
Solution Approach 1:
A cam mechanism is introduced as an intermediary element between the loading mechanism and the tapered roller. The cam mechanism converts the radial movement of the rolling body into axial pressing force, amplifying the effect and ensuring sufficient pressing force is applied to the contact point between the tapered roller and transmission ring, thereby resolving the insufficiency of direct pressing force transmission
Solution Approach 2:
The design changes the geometric parameters of the cam mechanism and the positioning of the rolling body to optimize the force transmission path. By adjusting the cam profile and the groove geometry, the system transforms small radial displacements into significant axial pressing forces, overcoming the limitations imposed by friction and manufacturing accuracy at the contact portions
