International Classification:

B60W 10/101

US Classification:

477 42, 477 37

Abstract:

Inventive embodiments are directed to components, subassemblies, systems, and/or methods for auxiliary power units (APU). In one embodiment, the APU includes a source of rotational power such as a combustion engine operably coupled to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT can be coupled to a load. In some embodiments, the load is provided by a generator. In one embodiment, the APU has a control system configured to control the operation of the engine and the operation of the CVT. The control system can facilitate substantially constant speed operation of the generator in the presence of variable operation of the engine. In another embodiment, the APU includes a continuously variable accessory drive (CVAD) operably coupled to an engine. The CVAD can include a continuously variable transmission operably coupled to a generator. In one embodiment, a skew-based control system is adapted to facilitate a change in the ratio of a CVAD.

Abstract:

Described herein is a control system for a vehicle having an infinitely variable transmission (WT) having a ball planetary variator (CVP), providing a smooth and controlled operation. In some embodiments, the vehicle is a fork lift truck. An operator commands a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal, and a direction switch (or gear selector), which are evaluated by the control system to determine a current operating state of the vehicle. Some operating states include, forward drive, reverse drive, vehicle braking, automatic deceleration, inching, power reversal, vehicle hold, and park, among others.

International Classification:

B60W 10/08
F16H 61/662
F16H 61/664

Abstract:

A control system for a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is provided. The control system includes a shift mode switch, an actuator and a controller. The shift mode switch is selectable between a plurality of modes. The actuator is in operational communication with the CVT to selectively override normal shifting characteristics of the CVT. The controller is in communication with the shift mode switch. The controller is configured to control the actuator to selectively override the normal shifting characteristics of the CVT based at least in part on a select mode configuration selected by the shift mode switch.
