Modeling of autovariator operation as adjuster of components of transformed power in adaptive drive gears of cars

Abstract

The full use of the available power and the preservation of the stationary mode of operation of the power plant (engine) of the transport machine under conditions of variable external loading are urgent tasks. The solution of the indicated problems is possible by creating mechanical drives with an autochangeable speed transfer function and non-holonomic coupling of the main links. The additional controlled motion of the links is formed by a variable part of the transformable power flow and is realized by an integrated control circuit, functioning solely on the basis of the laws of mechanics. Using the Gibbs function for the energy of accelerations a mathematical model for the work of a mechanical autovariator is developed, the results of the study are presented, on the basis of which it is possible to carry out design calculations for the links and connections of the autovariator including automatic control circuits.
