Electronic Control System of Continuously Variable Type of Mechanical Transmission Named After Blagonravov

Abstract

An electronic control system was invented for the mechatronic system "Internal combustion engine (ICE) - Blagonravov continuously variable mechanical transmission". The system allows one pedal to independently control the rotation frequency of ICE shaft and the oscillation range of internal transmission links. This ensures the operation of the engine in its characteristic points that correspond to the minimum efficient specific consumption at any capacity that is required by the traffic conditions for a vehicle. Flexible adjustment of a system and variety of required control algorithms is quite easily ensured by modern electronic components, power control devices and an on-board programmed micro-controller. An example was described of the operation of an electronic system in a prototype vehicle tested in field with a Blagonravov continuously variable mechanical transmission.
