Continuously variable transmission (CVT) mechanisms considered here combine the functions of a K-H-V type differential gear unit and a V-belt type continuously variable unit (CVU). As combining the functions of a K-H-V type differential gear unit and a V-belt type CVU, 24 different mechanisms are presented. Some useful theoretical formula related to speed ratio, power flow and efficiency are derived and analyzed. These mechanisms have many advantages which are the decrease of CVT size, the increase of overall efficiency, the extension of speed ratio range, and the generation of geared neutral.

Axial force of a V-belt CVT is investigated experimentally. The experimental results on speed ratio-torque-axial force show good agreement with the theoretical results that were obtained in the previous work. It is also found that torque capacity of the V-belt CVT increases as the axial force and the speed ratio increase. Impending slip which occurs at the maximum torque is determined via experiments for various speed ratios. Based on the impending slip region, and the theoretical curves for the speed ratio-torque-axial force relationship, an actual operating criteria for the V-belt CVT is obtained. It is suggested to use the actual operating criteria with the theoretical equations as a basic design formula for the V-belt CVT.

Continuously variable transmission(CVT) mechanisms are proposed, which can offer a backward mode, a geared neutral, an underdrive mode and an overdriver mode. They are not required of a starting device as a torque converter. CVT mechanisms developed here present two distinct operating modes which are a power circulation mode and a power split mode. The transition of two modes takes place at the particular CVU speed ratio. For these CVT mechanisms, performance analysis related to speed ratio, power ratio and theoretical efficiency are executed.

Continuously variable transmission(CVT) mechanisms considered here combine the functions of a 2K-H I type differential gear unit and a V-belt continuously variable unit(CVU). One shaft of the V-belt CVU is connected directly to the differential gear unit and remaining shaft of it is linked to the output shaft. These mechanisms have many advantage which are the decrease of CVT size, the increase of overall efficiency, the extension of speed ratio range, and the generation of geared neutral. In this paper six different mechanisms of output coupled type CVT are proposed. Some useful theoretical formula related to speed ratio, power flow and efficiency are derived and analyzed, and theoretical analysis are proven by various experiments.

Continuously variable transmission(CVT) combined differential gear unit has many advantages, which are the decrease of CVT size, the increase of overall efficiency, the extension of speed ratio range, and the generation of geared neutral. It is known that such CVT can be classified into the input coupled type and the output coupled type according to the coupling location of continuously variable unit(CVU). In this paper, six different configurations of input coupled type CVT combined V-belt CVU and 2K-H I type differential gear unit are proposed. Some useful theoretical formula related to speed ratio, power flow and efficiency are derived and analyzed. The propriety of derived formula and theoretical analysis are proven by various experiments.

HMT is a type of continuously variable transmission which has split power flow path characteristics with gear train and hydro static unit. The benefit of improved fuel economy and high power capacity enables it to be a promising application fur large vehicles. This paper presents the analysis results including velocity, static torque, transmission efficiency and dynamic model of the HMT that is developed for city buses. The speeds or gear shafts, the static clutch torque and split power ratio for each mode are detailed here. From the analysis of HMT transmission efficiency considering the power loss in meshed gear and hydraulic unit, we can conclude that minimization of hydraulic power is necessary for improved fuel economy design. Also, the dynamic simulation result for mode shift characteristics shows that little shift shock is observed because of the synchronized rotation speed in clutch.

The continuously variable transmission (C.V.T.) has been introduced for many years, however, the application of C.V.T. system has been used rather restrictively because of the problems such as reliability, durability, efficiency and, controllability. In this paper, some of the research trends about the control algorithms and the system design method involving C.V.T. is introduced. An engine is assumed in operation along the ideal operating line and it is also considered to be controlled independently to the C.V.T. system. The control simulation has been carried out to confirm it and also the operation performance of the system is investigated.

The metal V-belt behavior of a continuously variable transmission was investigated analytically and experimentally. Numerical results showed that nondimensional belt radial displacement increased in the radial inward direction for the driven pulley, while that of the driver pulley increased for the first 90 degrees of the active are and decreased with the increasing torque load. Experimental results for the belt radial displacement were in good agreement with the theoretical results. However, the absolute magnitude of the belt radial displacement was so small that the change in the belt displacement could not be measured in the experimental range except for the inlet region of the driven pulley, where the radial inward displacement was observed due to the effect of bending moment. The speed ratio-axial force relationship derived from the belt behavior analysis also showed god agreement with the experiment.

세계경제가 만성적으로 저미한 상태에서, 전세계적으로 자동차 생산도 크게 성장하기를 바랄 수 없는 상황이 계속 되고 있다. 한편, 승용차의 기술면에서는, 배기가스 규제대응기술의 개발이 일 단락되고, 석유사정도 일단은 안정상태를 유지하고 있는 가운데, 자동차 본래의 기능 및 유용성을 높이기위한 기술개발에 힘을 기울여 왔다. 승용차의 구동방식에 대해서도 FF(Front Engine, Front Drive)방식이 세계적인 추세이고, 더욱이 4WD(사윤구동차)의 보급이 주목되고 있다. 또 이지 드라이브(Easy Drive)화에의 움직임도 강하여 AT(Automatic Transmission, 자동변속기)가 부착된 자동차의 비율이 검증하고 있으며, 유체토오크 컨버어터(Fluid Torque Converter)와 유 성치차장치(Planetary gear)식의 변속 장치를 조합한 AT는 전자제어기술에 의한 정확한 제어로 그 완성도가 더욱더 높아지고 있다. 또 종래로부터 새로운 AT로서의 기술동향이 주목되고 있 었든 CVT(무단변속기)도 실용화 기술의 개발이 진척되어 일부 양산화 모델의 발표도 있으며, CVT가 AT중에서 그위치를 크게 차지하게 될 날도 머지않은 것으로 생각된다. 이하 근년 관심이 높아지고 있는 4WD 및 AT를 중심으로 승용차의 구동방식과 그 기구의 동향을 해설하기로 한다.
