Literature survey

 Historical Development of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)


1. Leonardo da Vinci's conceptualization in 1490.
2. First patents by Daimler and Benz in Europe in 1886 and US Patent for a
thyroidal CVT in 1935.
 Early Motorcycle Applications
1. Introduction of Gradual-Gear CVT by Zenith Motorcycles in 1910.
2.Development of the improved Rudge Multi gear by Rudge-Whitworth in 1912.
 Automobile CVT Innovations
1. Browne's variable-stroke ratchet drive in 1922.
2. British Clyno car's application of CVT in 1923.
3. Hub van Doorne's Variomatic CVT design in the late 1950s, used in the DAF 600
from 1958.
 Commercialization and Acquisition
1. Transfer of van Doorne's patents to VDT (Van Doorne Transmissie B.V.) in 1975.
2. Acquisition of VDT by Robert Bosch GmbH in 1995.
CVT THEORY

 Today’s automobiles almost exclusively use either a


conventional manual or automatic transmission with “multiple
planetary gear sets that use integral clutches and bands to
achieve discrete gear ratios” .
 A typical automatic uses four or five such Years, while a
manual normally employs five or six.
 The continuously variable transmission replaces discrete gear
ratios with infinitely adjustable gearing through one of several
basic CVT designs.
DESIGNS

 This most common type of CVT uses segmented steel blocks


stacked on a steel ribbon, as shown in Figure (1). This belt
transmits power between two conical pulleys, or sheaves, one
fixed and one movable . With a belt drive:
Toroidal Traction-Drive

 These transmissions use the high shear strength of viscous


fluids to transmit torque between an input torus and an output
torus. As the movable torus slides linearly, the angle of a roller
changes relative to shaft position, as seen in Figure (2). This
results in a change in gear ratio .
Variable Diameter Elastomer Belt

 This type of CVT, as represented in


Figure (2), uses a flat, flexible belt
mounted on movable supports. These
supports can change radius and thus
gear ratio.
 However, the supports separate at
high gear ratios to form a
discontinuous gear path, as seen in
Figure (3). This can lead to the
problems with creep and slip that have
plagued CVTs for years.
APPLICATIONS

 Tractors
 Golf Carts
 Ride on Lawn Mowers
 Motorized Wheelchairs
 Bicycles
 Power tools
 Industrial Equipment
 Minimachines
Advantage

 There is improved acceleration due to the lower power loss


experienced.
 Stepless transmission.
 It has the ability to allow the engine to rev almost immediately
which delivers maximum torque.
 Provides a smoother ride than automatic transmission.
 Adapts to varying road conditions and power demands to
allows for a better ride.
Disadvantage

 Higher cost.
 Belt-driven CVTs (VDP system) have a limited amount of
torque; however the technology is constantly being improved.
 Transmitting motion by friction causes greater wear.
 Require special oil and other materials.
CONCLUSION

 Today, only a handful of cars worldwide make use of CVTs,


but the applications and benefits of continuously variable
transmissions can only increase based on today’s research and
development.
 As automakers continue to develop CVTs, more and more
vehicle lines will begin to use them. As development
continues, fuel efficiency and performance benefits will
inevitably increase; this will lead to increased sales of CVT-
equipped vehicles.
 Increased sales will prompt further development and
implementation, and the cycle will repeat ad infinitum .
