guzman transmission

Abstract

The invention relates to, in essence, a positive engaged infinitely variable transmission combining a 90 planetary axial gear (differential) with a double radial planetary gear so, the sun gear of the first planetary gear system is solidary to the second planetary gear assemblie sun gear, and that the ring gear of the first planetary gear system is solidary with the planet carrier of the second planetary gear system offering a inertial configuration, or. By combining an axial gear system at 180, equivalent to a double radial planetary gearbox (the second planet gear is used to change the motion vector between 90 and 180) to a second axial gear system, uniting the first sun gear with the second sun gear and, the first ring gear with the second planet carrier.

The first planet carrier, which is now the anchor point of the system, is geared to a hydraulic loop with a flow valve that controls it at will.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

[0027] Referring to FIG. 1, a planetary axial 180 gearset (1), which allows the ring gear (3) to turn in the same direction that's the sun gear (1) does.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 2 the planetary axial 180 gearset is driven by a planetary axial 90 gear set shaft to the sun gear (1) and the planetary carrier (2), the drive shaft is connected to an internal combustion engine of any other power source (hydroelectric turbine) and the two half shafts are connected with the sun gear (1) and the planet carrier (2) splitting the input angular torque between both. As the angular speed of the ring gear (3) increases the resistance over the planet carrier (2) will decrease and the half shaft connected to it will start turning until it reaches the same speed, by so reaching the final speed.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 3 a planetary axial 180 gearset (1), which allows the ring gear (3) to turn in the same, direction that's the sun gear (1) does and the hydraulic flow control (4) that controls the planetary carrier anchor point.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 4 the planetary axial 180 gearset is driven by a second identical configured planetary gear set in which the ring gear (5) acts as planetary carrier for the secondary planetary gear set, the angular velocity is controlled by a hydraulic flow control geared with the planetary carrier (6). As the motion starts the ring gear (5) is immobile while the planet carrier (6) turns backwards given us the initial speed or first, then the hydraulic flow control decreases the rotation speed of the planet carrier (6) (anchor point) increasing the angular speed of the ring gear (2) until the planet carrier (6) stops the rotation reaching the final speed.
