Detailed Description
The following describes in further detail the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings and examples. The following examples are illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1, there is schematically shown a continuously variable transmission device of the present invention, which comprises a first shaft 1, a second shaft 2, and a speed change mechanism, wherein the speed change mechanism comprises a driving disc 3 and a driven disc 4 which are disposed opposite to each other, and a rotary member 21 coaxially connected to the end of the second shaft 2, the driving disc 3 is fixedly sleeved on the first shaft 1, and the driven disc 4 is rotatably sleeved on the first shaft 1; the rotary member 21 is provided between the driving disk 3 and the driven disk 4, and the outer side wall of the rotary member 21 abuts against the disk surface of the driving disk 3 and the disk surface of the driven disk 4. When the first shaft 1 rotates, the driving disc 3 rotates along with the first shaft 1, and the driven disc 4 does not rotate along with the first shaft 1, so that the driving disc 3 and the driven disc 4 rotate relatively, at this time, the rotary member 21 is clamped in the center by the driving disc 3 and the driven disc 4, and the rotation of the driving disc 3 forces the rotary member 21 to roll between the driving disc 3 and the driven disc 4, thereby driving the second shaft 2 to rotate. The gear ratio of the device can be steplessly adjusted by changing the distance of the rotating member 21 from the axis of the first shaft 1 due to the non-uniform rotational linear speeds at different radii of the driving disc 3 or the driven disc 4.
The device also comprises a shell 5, wherein the first shaft 1, the second shaft 2 and the speed change mechanism are arranged in the shell 5, and the first shaft 1 and the second shaft 2 are respectively connected with the shell 5 in a rotating way.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the driven plate 4 is provided with a first gear tooth 41, the driving plate 3 is provided with a second gear tooth 31, the housing 5 is rotatably provided with a transmission gear 51, and the transmission gear 51 is respectively meshed with the first gear tooth 41 and the second gear tooth 31. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the driving disc 3 includes a first driving disc 32 and a second driving disc 33, the first driving disc 32 and the second driving disc 33 are respectively disposed on two sides of the driven disc 4, the rotating member 21 is disposed between the first driving disc 32 and the driven disc 4, and the second driving disc 33 is provided with the second gear teeth 31. When the first shaft 1 rotates, the first driving disk 32 and the second driving disk 33 simultaneously rotate following the first shaft 1, and the second driving disk 33 transmits power to the driven disk 4 through the transmission gear 51, so that the rotation speed of the driven disk 4 and the rotation speed of the driving disk 3 are equal but the rotation directions are opposite. This arrangement allows the driven disc 4 to obtain power from the driving disc 3, and the driving disc 3 and the driven disc 4 simultaneously drive the rotating member 21 to roll, which is more suitable for heavy-load machines, and the scheme of driving the rotating member 21 to roll by the driving disc 3 is suitable for light-load machines.
The rotary member 21 is sleeved with a rubber ring 21a, a first limiting part 21b and a second limiting part 21c, wherein the rubber ring 21a is positioned between the first limiting part 21b and the second limiting part 21c, and the first limiting part 21b can adjust the distance between the first limiting part 21b and the second limiting part 21 c; if the distance between the first limiting part 21b and the second limiting part 21c is reduced, the first limiting part 21b and the second limiting part 21c jointly squeeze the rubber ring 21a, so that the diameter of the rubber ring 21a is increased, and the friction force between the rotating member 21 and the driving disc 3 and the driven disc 4 is increased; so as not to wear out during long-term use of the rotating member 21, resulting in insufficient friction of the rotating member 21 with the driving disk 3 and the driven disk 4. Preferably, the rotating member 21 is provided with a thread, the first limiting portion 21b is sleeved on the rotating member 21 through a threaded fit, and the distance between the first limiting portion 21b and the second limiting portion 21c can be adjusted by manually twisting the first limiting portion 21 b.
In order to facilitate the reset of the gear shifting state of the device, the second shaft 2 is further provided with an elastic piece 6, one end of the elastic piece 6 is rotatably connected with the second shaft 2, the other end of the elastic piece 6 is connected with the shell 5, the second shaft 2 can be pushed to move along the length direction only through a cable or a shifting lever mechanism connected with the second shaft 2 when the gear shifting is needed, and when the cable or the shifting lever stops applying force to the second shaft 2, the elastic piece 6 can reset the second shaft 2 to an initial position.
In order to solve the same technical problems, the invention also provides a bicycle which comprises the stepless speed change transmission device.
In summary, the first shaft 1 of the continuously variable transmission device of the present invention is sleeved with the driving disc 3 and the driven disc 4 which are oppositely arranged, the driving disc 3 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 1, the driven disc 4 is rotationally connected to the first shaft 1, the end of the second shaft 2 is provided with the rotating member 21, the rotating member 21 is disposed between the driving disc 3 and the driven disc 4, and when the first shaft 1 drives the driving disc 3 to rotate, the driving disc 3 and the driven disc 4 rotate relative to each other under the driving of the driving disc 3; because of the non-uniform rotational linear speeds at different radii of the driving disk 3, adjusting the distance of the rotating member 21 from the first shaft 1 changes the gear ratio of the device.
