[0081] As shown in
[0082] The rhombic pyramid-type continuously variable transmission mostly adopts a pressurizing device to ensure that the transmission parts do not receive excessive pressing forces, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and the service life, wherein the transmission efficiency is generally maintained in a range of 85%-93%. The hydraulic components have large specific power but low transmission efficiency, which is generally in a range of 80%-90%. If the transmission efficiency of the rhombic pyramid-type continuously variable transmission is 90% and the total efficiency of the hydraulic components is 80%, when the rhombic pyramid-hydraulic series mode HS1 is adopted, the system transmission efficiency is 90%?80%-72%. When the rhombic pyramid-hydraulic parallel mode HS2 is adopted, if the two paths have the same input power, the system transmission efficiency is 0.5?90%+0.5?80%=85%, which is increased by 13% as compared with the hydraulic-rhombic pyramid series transmission HS1. Assuming that 9/10 of the input power passes through the rhombic pyramid path and 1/10 of the input power passes through the hydraulic path, the system transmission efficiency is 0.9?90%+0.1?80%=89%, which is increased by 17% as compared with the hydraulic-rhombic pyramid series transmission HS1. Therefore, the mode HS2 can effectively improve the system transmission efficiency, but its speed regulation range is limited, and the output speed n.sub.o(HS2) changes within a forward speed regulation range of [0, 1.12]n.sub.I, so that this mode is suitable for regional high-efficiency stepless speed regulation. Although the hydraulic-rhombic pyramid series transmission HS1 has low transmission efficiency, its speed regulation range is large and the output speed n.sub.o(HS1) changes within a range of [0, 2.80]n.sub.I, so that this mode is suitable for non-linear stepless speed regulation within a large range.

This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity, and persons skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in the embodiments can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by persons skilled in the art.
