Abstract

An infinitely variable speed converter having at least two dynamo/motors, to reduce the thickness in the direction of the central shaft. A space is provided in a portion surrounded by a rotor arranged to rotate clockwise with either a drive disk or a drive gear, a rotor arranged to rotate counterclockwise with either a drive disk or a drive gear, and a radial interior of a stator formed by annularly disposing field magnets. When a traction roller or a traction gear penetrated by a drive shaft is inserted into the provided space, contacting the drive disk to be subject to a couple and thereby rotating while the traction gear comes into contact with the drive gear, whereby an output can be provided to the drive shaft that penetrates the traction roller or the traction gear, so that the entire structure can be compactified.

IPC Classes  ?

• H02K 7/02 - Additional mass for increasing inertia, e.g. flywheels
• H02K 7/116 - Structural association with clutches, brakes, gears, pulleys or mechanical starters with gears
• H02K 16/02 - Machines with one stator and two rotors
• F16H 15/10 - Gearings providing a continuous range of gear ratios in which a member A of uniform effective diameter mounted on a shaft may co-operate with different parts of a member B in which the member B is a disc with a flat or approximately-flat friction surface in which the axes of the two members cross or intersect
• H02K 21/24 - Synchronous motors having permanent magnetsSynchronous generators having permanent magnets with stationary armatures and rotating magnets with magnets axially facing the armatures, e.g. hub-type cycle dynamos
• H02K 49/10 - Dynamo-electric clutchesDynamo-electric brakes of the permanent-magnet type
• H02K 21/26 - Synchronous motors having permanent magnetsSynchronous generators having permanent magnets with rotating armatures and stationary magnets
• B60L 50/50 - Electric propulsion with power supplied within the vehicle using propulsion power supplied by batteries or fuel cells
