What is a car gearbox for?

A gearbox is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion.It is used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools and various machines to change the torque, speed and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driving shaft according to different working conditions.

The functions of the car transmission are as follows:

1. Change the transmission rate, expand the change range of the driving wheel and the change range of the speed to adapt to the changing driving conditions, and make the engine work under the working conditions of high power and low fuel consumption;

2. Under the condition that the rotation direction of the engine remains unchanged, the vehicle can be driven backward;

3. Use neutral gear to interrupt power transmission so that the engine can start, change speed and facilitate transmission shift or power take-off.

4. The transmission consists of a variable speed transmission mechanism and a control mechanism.Power can be added if necessary.

Automobile gearboxes can be divided into manual and automatic.

Manual transmissions are mainly composed of gears and shafts that produce variable speed and torque through different gear combinations.

The automatic transmission is composed of hydraulic converter, planetary gear and hydraulic control system.It can change speed and torque through hydraulic transmission and gear combination.

Automatic transmissions have become the mainstream in the world, mainly including AT (automatic), AMT (integrated automatic manual), CVT (no pace change) and DCT (dual clutch) and other types.
