Abstract :
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) has been classified as belt-type or toroidal CVTs. Each CVT is fundamentally composed of several components to transmit the frictional force or torque generated by the driving force. Since the conventional CVTs use friction force, their energy (force or torque) transfer efficiency might be inferior due to slippage and pressure between the transmission components. Consequently, we propose a new type of structural CVT. The CVT we proposed in this paper means a combined-type transmission with quadric crank chains and one-way clutches.
