  • Variable speed transmission and system using same
    Patent number: 11835117
    Abstract: The system includes: a driver; a rotating load configured to be driven into rotation by the driver; a controller, for controllably changing a rotation speed of the load; and a variable speed transmission, arranged between the driver and the load. The variable speed transmission includes a speed summing gear arrangement with a first input shaft, a second input shaft and an output shaft. The output shaft is drivingly coupled to the rotating load. The first input shaft is drivingly coupled to the driver. A continuous variable transmission device is mechanically coupled to the driver and to the second input shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement. The continuous variable transmission device is functionally coupled to the controller.

  • Variable speed transmission with auxiliary driver and system using same
    Patent number: 10948053
    Abstract: The system comprises: a main driver configured for rotating at a substantially constant rotational speed; a rotating load configured to be driven into rotation by the main driver; a controller, for controllably adjusting a load rotational speed; a variable speed transmission, arranged between the main driver and the load and comprised of a speed summing gear arrangement having a first input shaft, a second input shaft and an output shaft; an auxiliary driver, mechanically coupled to the second input shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement. The first input shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement is drivingly coupled to the main driver. The output shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement is drivingly coupled to the rotating load. The speed of the output shaft is a combination of a speed of the main driver and of a speed of the auxiliary driver.
