Research on Efficiency Model of Hydro-Mechanical CVT Under All Operating Conditions

Abstract

This study aims to address the problems of inaccurate predictions, incomplete losses composition, and the limitation to the single operating condition in current hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMT) efficiency model research. A comprehensive model is proposed and tested on a self-developed HMT, covering all operating conditions. The model consists of two components: hydraulic and mechanical. The hydraulic model is a semi-empirical approach based on the mechanism of efficiency losses and pump-motor test data, which enables accurate calculations under various conditions. The mechanical model combines a rigid body framework, load dynamics, and transmission loss models to precisely capture transient gear efficiency. This integrated approach facilitates early-stage transmission evaluation, identifies primary loss sources, and assesses efficiency not only in steady-state but also throughout driving cycles.
