Abstract

Abstract A non-step transmission is provided with a rotor (17) of which input shaft is connected to a drive source (1), another rotor (19) of which output shaft (19a) is connected to a driving load, a plurality of exciting windings for controlling the inter-coupling-force of said rotors (17, 19), and a control unit (4) for recognizing the condition of operation of a vehicle (2), and determining a gear ratio of the transmission (3). The gear ratio is controlled to be set to the determined value by controlling the exciting winding.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 92 words
A non-step transmission (3) comprising: a first rotor (17) at an input side, a second rotor (19) at an output side, a torque transmitting means for transmitting rotational torque between the above two rotors, and a control unit (4) for controlling the difference between the rotational speeds of the rotors (17, 19), wherein a rotary shaft (19a) of said rotors (17, 19) is controlled by providing an output obtained due to the difference between the rotational speeds to a motor (12) which rotates according to said first and second rotors (17, 19).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 98 words
A non-step transmission comprising: a first rotor (17), a second rotor (19), a first winding for generating torque which acts on each other between said first and second rotors (17, 19), a second winding for generating torque which acts on each other between a stator and said first and second rotors (17, 19), a control unit (4) for determining a gear ratio according to an operation command value supplied from the outside, and a power converter for controlling each torque by suppling independently a current to said first and second windings so as to take the gear ratio.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 87 words
A non-step transmission comprising: a rotor (17) of which input shaft is connected to a drive source (1), another rotor (19) of which output shaft (19a) is connected to a driving load (5), a plurality of exciting windings for controlling the inter-coupling-force of said rotors (17, 19), and a control unit (4) for recognizing the condition of operation of a vehicle, and determining a gear ratio of a transmission, wherein the gear ratio is controlled to be set to the determined value by controlling said exciting winding.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 149 words
A vehicle having an engine (1), and a transmission for converting the rotational speed of the engine (1) into the rotational speed of a drive shaft (5) for driving a car body, said vehicle further comprising: a first rotor (17) which is rotated by said engine (1), a second rotor (19) for rotating said drive shaft, a motor (12) including a first winding for generating torque which acts on each other between said first and second rotors (17, 19), and a second winding for generating torque which acts on each other between a stator and said first and second rotors (17, 19), a control unit (4) for determining a gear ratio according to an operation command value supplied from a driver, and first and second power converters for controlling each torque by suppling independently a current to said first and second windings so as to take the gear ratio.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 164 words
A hybrid vehicle having an engine (1), an electric power storing unit (4a), and an energy converting unit for storing the rotation energy of the engine (1) in said storing unit (4a) and converting the stored energy into the torque of a drive shaft (19a) for driving a car body, said vehicle further comprising: a first rotor (17) which is rotated by said engine (1), a second rotor (19) for rotating said drive shaft (19a), a motor (1) including a first winding for generating torque which acts on each other between said first and second rotors (17, 19), and a second winding for generating torque which acts on each other between a stator and said first and second rotors, a control unit (4) for determining a gear ratio according to an operation command value supplied from a driver, and a power converter for controlling each torque by suppling independently a current to said first and second windings so as to take the gear ratio.
