View page
US Patent:
7785228, Aug 31, 2010
Filed:
Aug 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/842118
Inventors:
Robert A Smithson - Cedar Park TX, US
Brad P Pohl - Leander TX, US
Oronde J Armstrong - Austin TX, US
Donald C Miller - Fallbrook CA, US
Daniel J Dawe - Austin TX, US
Fernand A Thomassy - Liberty Hill TX, US
Matthew P Simister - Austin TX, US
Wesley R Poth - Leander TX, US
Jon M Nichols - Georgetown TX, US
Charles B Lohr - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Fallbrook Technologies Inc. - San Diego CA
International Classification:
F16H 13/00
US Classification:
476 67
Abstract:
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) having a torsion disc for a CVT. The torsion disc includes a splined bore about its central axis, an annular recess formed in the disc for receiving the race of a bearing, and a raised surface for supporting a torsion spring. In one embodiment, the torsion disc includes a number of holes for receiving dowels that support a torsion spring. Load cam discs, a torsion disc, rolling elements, and a hub cap shell are configured to generate axial force, transmit torque, and manage reaction forces. In one embodiment, a splined input shaft and a torsion disc having a splined bore cooperate to input torque into the variator of the CVT. Among other things, various ball axles, axle-ball combinations, and reaction force grounding configurations are disclosed. In one embodiment, a CVT having axial force generation means at both the input and output elements is disclosed.

Assignee:
Fallbrook Technologies Inc. - San Diego CA
International Classification:
F16H 15/26
US Classification:
476 37, 476 61, 476 65, 74 56
Abstract:
Inventive embodiments are directed to components, subassemblies, systems, and/or methods for continuously variable transmissions (CVT). In one embodiment, a main axle is adapted to receive a shift rod that cooperates with a shift rod nut to actuate a ratio change in a CVT. In another embodiment, an axial force generating mechanism can include a torsion spring, a traction ring adapted to receive the torsion spring, and a roller cage retainer configured to cooperate with the traction ring to house the torsion spring. Various inventive idler-and-shift-cam assemblies can be used to facilitate shifting the ratio of a CVT. Embodiments of a hub shell and a hub cover are adapted to house components of a CVT and, in some embodiments, to cooperate with other components of the CVT to support operation and/or functionality of the CVT. Among other things, shift control interfaces and braking features for a CVT are disclosed.

Assignee:
Fallbrook Technologies Inc. - San Diego CA
International Classification:
F16H 15/26
US Classification:
476 38, 476 67
Abstract:
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) having a number of tiltable ball-leg assemblies configured angularly about a longitudinal axis. Each ball-leg assembly is in contact with, and guided through a tilting motion by an axially translating shift cam having a convex shape. The convex shape of the shift cam can have a profile defined by a set of parametric equations. In one embodiment, the profile of the shift cam vary according to the location of the contact point between an idler and the ball-leg assembly as well as the amount of relative axial motion between the ball-leg assembly and the idler. In some embodiments, the profile of the shift cam can be configured to control the axial translation of the idler relative to the change in tilt angle of the ball-leg assembly. In other embodiments, a roll-slide factor can be used to characterize the axial translation of the idler relative to the tilt angle of the ball-leg assembly.
