TLDR
In this article, the transmission ratio of an infinitely variable V-belt transmission with variable pitch input and output pulleys operable by hydraulic cylinders is controlled by a regulating device connected to the intermediate connecting assembly, the regulating device being responsive to an operating variable of transmission.
Abstract
In apparatus for controlling the transmission ratio of an infinitely variable V-belt transmission having variable pitch input and output pulleys operable by hydraulic cylinders, each pulley being formed of a pair of conical discs, at least one of which is axially movable relative to the other disc of that pair and the input pulley being driven by a power source: a hydraulic control valve for operating the cylinders, the valve having an internal axially movable spool; a device responsive to the speed of the input pulley for urging the spool in one direction; a compression spring urging the spool in an opposite direction, the spring being loaded through an intermediate connecting assembly by an external loading device; and a regulating device connected to the intermediate connecting assembly, the regulating device being responsive to an operating variable of the transmission.
