  • Patent number: 10473214
    Abstract: An electronic continuously variable transmission (ECVT) system applicable to a motorcycle includes a first speed sensor, second speed sensor, continuously variable transmission (CVT) and control unit. The control unit receives a user control signal and accordingly controls a speed-changing state of the CVT. While the motorcycle is operating in a manual-operation mode, the control unit predicts, according to the user control signal, a first speed signal sent from the first speed sensor, and a second speed signal sent from the second speed sensor, whether the next gear indicated by the shift request signal will cause the motorcycle to move unsteadily. If so, the control unit ignores the shift request signal and refuses to perform gear shifting. If not, the control unit sends at least a shift control signal to the CVT so that the CVT performs gear shifting.

  • Publication number: 20150068482
    Abstract: A kinetic system-oriented variable intake structure includes an intake passage, an air storing space, an exhaust passage, a control valve, and a bypass air chamber. The intake passage and the exhaust passage are in communication with the air storing space to allow air to enter the air storing space via the intake passage and then be discharged from the exhaust passage. The bypass air chamber is in communication with the air storing space through the control valve. The control valve turns on or off in accordance with a rotation speed of the kinetic system. Accordingly, the kinetic system-oriented variable intake structure is capable of high performance at any target rotation speeds.

  • Publication number: 20080296118
    Abstract: An improved clutch of a continuous variable transmission system includes a gear shaft, a driven belt pulley assembly, a clutch disc and a clutch jacket. An internal driving disc sleeve is disposed at the driven belt pulley assembly and connected to the clutch disc. The clutch jacket is connected to the gear shaft through a gear shaft sleeve. When a belt drives the driven belt pulley assembly to rotate at a high speed, the internal driving disc sleeve drives the clutch disc to rotate accordingly, and each clutch pad on the clutch disc is expanded outward due to a centrifugal force and pressed against the clutch jacket to drive both clutch jacket and gear shaft to rotate. An oil seal is installed in a sleeve inside the driving disc and contacted with the internal driving disc sleeve and the gear shaft sleeve to facilitate a shift of gears.
