NOVEL COMPOSITE CVT SYSTEMS
WITH DIVERGING AND DUAL-MODE
CONVERGING POWER FLOW*
Abstract:
A new type of composite CVT(continuously variable transmission)
systems featured by power flow divergence and dual-mode convergence, capable of improving CVT’s efficiency and power capacity or making AMTs(automated
manual transmissions) become continuously variable, is studied. With specific mechano-mechanical and electromechanical composite CVT systems as detailed examples, its basic working principles are expatiated. General methods and key points in designing and realizing such systems are also analyzed and discussed.
