Research on Gear Synthesis of Automatic Transmission

Abstract

The lever method facilitates a straightforward analysis of the motion dynamics of an automatic transmission under various gear settings, offering a simple and intuitive approach to examining planetary gear transmissions. Specifically, the equivalent lever diagram for a parallel-double planetary gear transmission comprises four component points. From a control perspective, a transmission system with two planetary rows can accommodate up to two reduction gears, one direct gear, one overdrive gear, and one reverse gear. In contrast, the equivalent lever diagram for a parallel three-planetary gear transmission includes five component points, with such systems typically supporting up to three reduction gears, one direct gear, two overdrive gears, and two reverse gears. This methodological approach underscores the lever diagram’s utility in delineating the functional capabilities of complex transmission systems.
