Description
Summary:The paper discusses the energy flow in the continuously variable mechanical transmission with oscillatory movement of internal links and force function control. It is proposed to treat the potential energy of the twisted torsion bars, which is transferred back to the drive shaft, as useful. The formula for calculating the transmission efficiency, taking into account the return of energy flow back to the motor, hysteresis losses, and energy dissipation in the mechanical rectifier while taking up the free play, is given. When calculating the efficiency of the continuously variable mechanical transmission, it is suggested to take into consideration the clearances in the rectifier and kinematic pairs using ‘kinematic efficiency’. The examples of measured and calculated transmission efficiency in the ‘stop’ mode are given.
