Example 2
Referring to fig. 1, 4 to 6, the present embodiment provides a continuously variable transmission mechanism that differs from embodiment 1 in that: in the embodiment, the sun gear (1204) and the sun gear (1304) in embodiment 1 are combined into an integrated structural member (7), that is, the sun gear (1204) and the sun gear (1304) are combined into one structural member (7) instead of two separate structural members, so that the second mechanism (12) is connected with the third mechanism (13) through one structural member (7); correspondingly, the speed regulating mechanism (5) is respectively connected with the second mechanism (12) and the third mechanism (13) through a structural member (7); one end of the connecting shaft (6) is connected with the external gear (3), and the other end of the connecting shaft (6) penetrates through the gear (1201) and the structural part (7) and then is connected with the planet carrier (1302). In practical application, the speed regulating mechanism (5) is fixedly connected with the structural part (7); a third bearing is installed in the center of the structural part (7), and the connecting shaft (6) penetrates through the third bearing and then is connected with the planet carrier (1302). In addition, other structural features of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, and are not described again in this embodiment.
Since the operating principle of embodiment 1 is the same as that of embodiment 2, the operating principle of the continuously variable transmission mechanism of the present embodiment will be described below by taking embodiment 1 as an example only. For the sake of simplicity and explanation of the operation principle of the continuously variable transmission mechanism of the present embodiment, the parameters are set as follows: setting omegaInput deviceSince the input shaft 1, the external gear 2, and the carrier 1104 are integrally connected to each other, the rotation speed of the input shaft 1, the external gear 2, and the carrier 1104 are all the same, and therefore ω is set1=ωInput device=ωOuter gear 2=ωPlanet carrier 1104(ii) a Similarly, the speed regulating mechanism 5 is fixedly connected with the sun gear 1204 and the sun gear 1304, the rotating speed of the speed regulating mechanism 5 is the same as the rotating speeds of the sun gear 1204 and the sun gear 1304, and ω is set8=ωSpeed regulating mechanism 5=ωSun gear 1204=ωSun gear 1304. The first mechanism 11, the second mechanism 12, the third mechanism 13, and the fourth mechanism 14 have the same pitch circle diameter of the sun gear, the same pitch circle diameter of the planetary gear, and the same pitch circle diameter of the ring gear, the same pitch circle diameter of the external gear 2 and the external gear 3, the same pitch circle diameter of the gear 1101 and the gear 1201, and the same pitch circle diameter of the external teeth of the ring gear 1301 and the external teeth of the ring gear 1401. Since the external gears 2 and 3 mesh with each other, the rotational speeds of the input shaft 1, the carrier 1104, and the carrier 1302 are all the same, and ω is set6=ω1=ωInput device. Since the gear 1101 and the gear 1201 mesh with each other, the rotational speeds of the sun gear 1103 and the carrier 1205 are the same, and ω is set2=ωGear 1101=ωGear 1201. Since the rotation speeds of the ring gear 1102 and the sun gear 1404 are the same, ω is set3=ωRing gear 1102=ωSun gear 1404. Since the ring gear 1401 and the ring gear 1301 are meshed with each other, the rotation speeds of the ring gear 1401 and the ring gear 1301 are the same, and ω is set4=ω7=ωRing gear 1401=ωGear ring 1301。
According to the transmission principle of the planetary gear system, when the rotation speed of any two components of the sun gear, the planet carrier and the ring gear is the same, the rotation speed of the other component is also the same, and at the moment, three components of the planetary gear system are relatively static, and the transmission ratio is 1. Accordingly, the continuously variable transmission mechanism according to the present embodiment operates as follows:
working condition 1: the fourth mechanism 14 has a transmission ratio of 1 and the output speed increases.
Referring to fig. 7, when the gear ratio of the fourth mechanism 14 is 1, ω is4=ω3. Due to omega4=ω7Thus ω3=ω7This means that the rotational speed of the ring gear 1102 is the same as the rotational speed of the ring gear 1301, while the rotational speed of the planet carrier 1104 is always the same as the rotational speed of the planet carrier 1302, i.e. ω is1=ω6Therefore, the rotational speed of the sun gear 1103 and the rotational speed of the sun gear 1304 are also always the same, i.e., ω2=ω8(ii) a Due to omega2=ω9Thus ω8=ω9,ω8Is the rotational speed, ω, of the sun gear 12049The rotational speed of the planet carrier 1205; omega10The rotational speed of ring gear 1202 is 0 because ring gear 1202 is fixedly connected externally, and ω is obtained8=ω9=ω 100. In which the second mechanism 12 is completely stationary and the fourth mechanism 14 may be equivalently a through-shaft, ω3=ω4=ω5,ω5The rotational speed of the output shaft 4. The rotation speed of the planet carrier 1104 is the input rotation speed, and the rotation speed omega of the sun gear 110320, ring gear 1102 rotation speed ω3Is the output speed, which is greater than the input speed.
Working condition 2: when the gear ratio of the first mechanism 11 is 1, the output rotation speed is reduced.
Referring to fig. 8, when the gear ratio of the first mechanism 11 is 1, ω is1=ω2=ω3. And due to omega1=ω6,ω2=ω9Thus ω9=ω6This means that the planet carrier 1205 and the planet carrier 1302 rotate at the same speed, and the sun 1204 and the sun 1304 both rotate at ω8Therefore, the rotation speed of the ring gear 1202 is the same as the rotation speed of the ring gear 1301 by ω10=ω 70, and ω is4=ω7Thus ω 40. Omega in this operating mode1=ω2=ω3The first mechanism 11 may be equivalent to a through shaft. The sun gear 1404, the ring gear 1401, and the carrier 1402 are coupled to each other at the input rotational speed, 0, and ω, respectively5Is the output speed, which is lower than the input speed.
Working condition 3: neutral, output speed is 0.
Referring to FIG. 9, following condition 2, the rotational speed ω of sun gear 13048Continuously increasing the rotational speed ω of the ring gear 14017Starting from 0 to invert. Sun gear 1204 speed ω8Increasing the rotation speed omega of the planet carrier 1205 with the ring gear 1202 fixed all the time9And (4) increasing. Sun gear 1103 rotation speed ω2=ω9Increasing the rotational speed ω of the planet carrier 11041Invariant (omega)1Input speed), the speed ω of the ring gear 1102 is then3And decreases. Sun gear 1404 speed ω3Reducing the rotational speed ω of the ring gear 1301 and the ring gear 14014=ω7Reverse rotation when ω3And ω4When in a certain proportion, the rotation speed omega of the planet carrier 14025The output speed is 0.
Working condition 4: reverse gear
Referring to FIG. 10, following condition 3, sun gear 1304 rotates at a speed ω8Continuing to increase, the speed ω at which the ring gear 1301 reverses direction7And also increases. Sun gear 1204 speed ω8Increasing the number of revolutions omega of the planet carrier 1205 with the ring gear 1202 fixed all the time9The increase continues. Sun gear 1103 rotation speed ω2=ω9Increasing the rotational speed ω of the planet carrier 11041Invariant (omega)1Input speed), ring gear 1102 rotatesω3The decrease continues. Sun gear 1404 speed ω3Continuing to decrease, the ring gear 1401 reverses the rotational speed ω4=ω7When the rotation speed of the planet carrier 1402 increases continuously, the rotation speed ω5The reverse rotation is started from 0, that is, the output rotation speed is started to reverse.
As shown in fig. 11, in the continuously variable transmission mechanism of the present embodiment, the output rotational speed and the rotational speed of the governor mechanism correspond to time while the input rotational speed is kept constant; when the output rotating speed is changed from high to low, the rotating speed of the speed regulating mechanism is changed from low to high; when the rotating speed of the speed regulating mechanism is increased to the set rotating speed, the output rotating speed is 0; when the speed regulating mechanism continues to rise to exceed the set rotating speed, the output rotating speed changes direction.
