The advantages of CVs were as follows: - In terms of power output, there was no clear gear, the speed ratio changed continuously within a certain range, and there was no sense of hesitation during the shifting process. The power output was linear and smooth. - "fuel economy: It can realize infinitely variable transmission in a wide range, which can make the transmission system and the engine work condition achieve the best match, adapt to various speeds of the car, and have good fuel economy. - Comfortable: Because there is no gear shift impact, there is no automatic transmission (AT) when accelerating, and the engine speed is low and the noise is low when driving at high speed, which can improve the driving and riding comfort. - The structure and cost were simple, and the number of parts was much less than that of the automatic transmission (AT). The cost of mass production was lower, and as the production scale expanded and the system and materials were reformed, the cost would be further reduced. - Maintaining: Its simple structure makes it easy to maintain and has a low failure rate. The disadvantages of CVs were as follows: - Power performance: The strength of the connecting belt (or chain) is limited, resulting in the engine's torgue not being too large. The vehicle's power performance is average, and the acceleration is soft. It is not suitable for vehicles with high power requirements. The horsepower of common CVs generally does not exceed 250 horses. - [Driving restrictions: Not suitable for overly intense driving. If you drive intensely on mountain roads or race tracks for a long time, it is easy to trigger safety protection due to excessive heating.] The novel "Watching the Moon on Fish Island" is equally exciting.

The CVS infinitely variable transmission has the following advantages: - Smoothly shifting: Since there is no gear set in charge, the transmission ratio is changed through the diameter change of the driving cone wheel and the driven cone wheel. There is no power interruption in the whole process, so the transmission process is very smooth, without hesitation and discomfort. - Good fuel economy: There is no gear difference, so the engine can easily be in the best power output state, and the transmission is always in the best transmission efficiency, thus achieving excellent fuel economy. - Simple structure: This made the manufacturing and research and development costs relatively low, while it was easy to maintain and had a low failure rate. The disadvantages of CVs included: - Limited power performance: The strength of the connecting belt was limited, and the engine's torgue could not be too large. Therefore, cars equipped with CVs often had average power performance and soft acceleration. They were usually only installed on models that did not have high power requirements. They were generally not suitable for high-horsepower and high-torgue models. The common CVs had no more than 250 horsepower. - Not suitable for intense driving: Once you drive on the mountain road or race track for a long time, it is easy to trigger the safety protection due to excessive heating.

The advantages of CVs were as follows: - In terms of driving experience, there were no transmission gears, no shifting, and the power output was linear. The driving experience was smooth and comfortable. - The fuel economy was good. Because the engine was easier to be in the best power output state, the transmission was always in the best transmission efficiency, so the fuel consumption was better and the exhaust gas was less polluted. - The structure was relatively simple, which made it easy to maintain and had a relatively low failure rate. - High transmission efficiency (about 95% higher than automatic transmission (about 85%), close to manual transmission), faster acceleration. The disadvantages of CVs were as follows: - Due to physical limitations such as belts and chains, it was not suitable to match engines with too high of a force or too high of a horsepower (however, Japan had developed a continuously variable transmission that could withstand 300N. m). It was commonly used in models that did not have high requirements for power. The power performance was average, and the acceleration was soft. - It was not suitable for intense driving. When driving on mountain roads or race tracks for a long time, it was easy to trigger safety protection due to excessive heating. - There was a problem that the transmission steel belt was easy to "slip" because its structure was a driving and driven cone wheel plus a transmission steel belt. Power transmission relied on the transmission steel belt, and the contact area between the steel belt and the cone wheel was small. When the engine input moment was large, the steel belt would "slip", resulting in a waste of engine power. - The failure rate was relatively high, and the cost was relatively high.

The advantages of CVs were as follows: - Power output is smooth: there is no specific gear, the speed ratio of the transmission changes continuously within a certain range, and there is no sense of hesitation during the shifting process. The power output is continuous and smooth, and the driving experience is comfortable. - Good fuel economy: high transmission efficiency (about 85% higher than automatic transmission, about 95%, close to manual transmission), so fuel consumption is relatively low. - Simple structure: This makes it easy to maintain and has a relatively low failure rate. - Low cost: This feature made it a more economical choice, and it was beneficial for some cost-sensitive models. - Easy to drive: No gear shifting, easy to operate. The disadvantages of CVs were as follows: - Limited power performance: Due to the limited strength of the connecting belt or chain, the engine's torgue could not be too large. It was often installed on a car with low power requirements. Generally, the horsepower did not exceed 250 horses. The car's power performance was average and the acceleration was soft. - Not suitable for intense driving: When driving on mountain roads or racing tracks for a long time, it is easy to trigger safety protection due to excessive heat. - [Limited matching engine: Not suitable for vehicles with too much horsepower and too much power.] However, now, Japan had developed a continuously variable transmission that could withstand 300N. m.

Simulating 10 gears meant that there were 10 virtual forward gears during the operation of the CVS (continuously variable transmission). Theoretically, the CVS infinitely variable transmission had countless transmission ratio. It used two sets of belts to change speed and drive, and simulated 10 gears through algorithm control. This design allowed the engine to more accurately match the transmission system, which had many advantages. On the one hand, it could increase power, and on the other hand, it could improve fuel economy, allowing the driver to enjoy smooth acceleration while reducing fuel consumption. Moreover, during the entire gear change process, whether it was starting or accelerating, there was basically no sense of frustration like traditional gear shifting, which significantly improved the driving experience and the overall comfort of the car.

CVs (Continually Variable transmissions), also known as continuously variable transmissions, infinitely variable transmissions, infinitely variable transmissions, etc., were a type of transmission that could achieve continuous changes in the transmission ratio. Its core components include two conical wheels and a steel belt (or chain). The diameter of the driving wheel and the driven wheel can be adjusted through the hydraulic system. When the diameter of the driving wheel changes, the position of the steel belt or chain on the wheel changes accordingly, thereby adjusting the transmission ratio. The hydraulic system controlled the conical part of the driving wheel to increase or decrease its diameter. The position of the steel belt or chain on the wheel also changed accordingly, so as to achieve continuous adjustment of the transmission ratio. It also had the characteristics of stable power transmission, simple and compact structure, low cost, and good fuel economy. The novel "Watching the Moon on Fish Island" is equally exciting.

There were the following differences between a CVS continuously variable transmission and an automatic transmission (here, automatic transmission refers to other types of automatic transmissions other than CVs, such as AT, etc.): 1. ** Transmission structure ** - CVs mainly used steel belts or chains (for example, some models used steel transmission belts) for power transmission. The oil pressure controlled the tightening and loosening of the driving wheel and driven wheel, and changed the working diameter of the belt wheel cone and the transmission belt (one wheel diameter increased, the other wheel diameter decreased) to achieve speed change. - The other types of automatic gears (such as AT) used a gear set to change the speed. It was through different gears to achieve power transmission and shifting. 2. ** Power transmission characteristics ** - Due to the continuous variable transmission method such as the steel belt, the CVS could continuously obtain any transmission ratio within the transmission range. The power transmission was continuous and smooth, and there was basically no sense of frustration during driving. - Automatic transmission (such as AT) was a computer controlled hydraulic transmission. There was energy loss, and sometimes it was obvious when shifting gears. 3. ** In terms of economy ** - The fuel economy of CVs was relatively high, and it was more fuel-efficient than some automatic transmissions (such as ATs). 4. ** In terms of power ** - The power performance of CVs was obviously better than some automatic transmissions (such as AT). 5. ** In terms of cost ** - The CVS system had a simple structure and low cost. Automatic transmissions such as the AT were relatively expensive. 6. ** In terms of discharge ** - CVs could reduce the amount of exhaust gas and had certain advantages in terms of environmental protection.

The replacement cycle of CVS continuously variable transmission oil varies due to many factors. Generally speaking, the theoretical oil change cycle was 100,000 kilometers. If it was a hybrid CTV transmission from Japan, it was recommended to change it once every 50,000 kilometers. If the road conditions were bad, it could be changed once every 60,000 - 80,000 kilometers in advance. High-grade CVs (such as the ones produced by Japan) could, under ideal conditions, change the special oil every 200,000 kilometers (based on computer tests). The CVs that accelerated at maximum speeds all day (such as racing on the track all day) had to be replaced every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. In addition, the specific oil change and maintenance period of each model still needs the owner to consult the vehicle manual by himself. The owner can also adjust the oil change period according to the actual vehicle working conditions. If the vehicle working conditions are bad, the oil change range/period should be shortened; otherwise, it can be extended. The novel "Watching the Moon on Fish Island" is equally exciting.

The design life of the CVS transmission was about 250,000 - 300,000 kilometers. However, in actual driving, due to the different conditions of the owner (such as driving habits, vehicle maintenance, etc.), their lifespan would also be different. Under the condition of good vehicle conditions, less intense driving conditions, and timely maintenance, its actual driving life could reach 400,000 kilometers. However, due to manufacturing errors, not all CVs could meet the design standards. However, within a certain probability range, CVs could run more than 300,000 kilometers. However, in general, the structural characteristics of CVs were relatively fragile, and their reliability in the power transmission process was not as good as that of AT, DV, and MT transmissions.

The CVS transmission was mainly composed of two variable diameter rollers (shaped like a pair of cones) and a steel belt or chain. One of the rollers was connected to the engine (power input) and the other was connected to the drive shaft (power output). During operation, the transmission ratio was changed by changing the diameter of the rollers (that is, the contact diameter between the cone and the steel belt or chain). For example, when driving at a low speed, the diameter of the input end of the wheel was smaller and the speed was higher, while the diameter of the output end of the wheel was larger and the speed was lower. As the speed of the car increased, the diameter of the two wheels changed, causing the speed of the output end of the wheel to increase. According to the different power transmitting devices, it could be divided into steel belt CVs and chain CVs. When the steel-belt CVS works, the driving cone wheel presses the side of the steel belt formed by the overlapping of the metal sheets and the metal rings to form static friction force, and the hardness between the push sheet materials is used to form thrust force, so that the steel belt drives the driven cone wheel to rotate to transmit power. When the driving wheel is clamped to the middle by the oil pressure device, the steel belt moves upward along the side wall, the circumference of the driving wheel increases, and the circumference of the driven wheel decreases, thus realizing the amplification of the engine's torque-force. The chain of the chain-type CVS was composed of a ring-shaped steel sheet and a pull piece. When it worked, the chain did not directly contact the cone wheel, but the middle rocking arm pin was pressed to achieve the transmission of the moment.

There may be the following reasons for the CTV transmission to slam on the accelerator: 1. The internal friction plate of the transmission was faulty. In this case, he needed to go to the 4S shop for maintenance. 2. The problem with the transmission oil could be solved by changing the oil. 3. If the oil pump fails, if the damage is not serious, you can apply soap on the damaged part, separate the damaged pump membrane from the intact pump membrane, stagger the damaged part, and then re-install it; if the damage is serious, it needs to be replaced. 4. When stepping on the accelerator, the inertia of the internal operating components of the engine caused an impact. This was a normal phenomenon and did not need to be solved. However, stepping on the accelerator itself did not conform to the working characteristics of the CVS and should be avoided as much as possible. 5. The corresponding speed of the transmission was not fast enough, and the speed of the upshift could not keep up with the speed of stepping on the accelerator, so there would be a sense of frustration when shifting gears. The solution was to step on the accelerator slowly. 6. With the intervention of the energy recovery system, once the driver released the accelerator pedal or stepped on the brake pedal, the generator would immediately start to work, putting some burden on the engine, affecting the engine speed, causing the engine speed to be out of sync with the clutch plate speed. This would cause a feeling of stagnation and need to go to the repair shop for repair. 7. If the grease is insufficient, new engine oil can be added. 8. For the Japanese CTV, the oil circuit of the electromagnetic valve was not smooth, and the movement of the valve core cutting the magnetic induction line was hindered, resulting in the insensitivity of the oil pressure adjustment and the occurrence of a setback. This was because the friction between the steel belt and the wheel shaft produced fine metal wear debris. Although it was attracted by the magnet, it could still block the oil hole and the filter core of the electromagnetic valve, causing the oil hole of the valve body to be blocked. The movement of the valve core was not smooth, and the pressure applied to the steel belt was not precise enough, causing the steel belt to slip and cause a setback.
