  • Continuously variable transmission
    Patent number: 10030745
    Abstract: A continuously variable transmission (CVT) includes a power transmission mechanism and at least one conical disk. The power transmission mechanism has a contact surface, and the power transmission mechanism includes a plurality of engaging elements. The plurality of engaging elements are retractably disposed on the contact surface. The disk surface of the conical disk has a plurality of engaging walls capable of engaging with the engaging elements. The continuously variable transmission is able to transmit power by way of engagement, such that the coupling between the power transmission mechanism and the conical disk is more stable. Thus, the continuously variable transmission is adaptable to high torsion application.
