Efficiency Modeling and Experimental Verification of Minicar Transmission System

Abstract:

Through the analysis of factors affecting the efficiency of auto transmission system, the power loss models of all parts of the transmission system were established, and the formula of the transmission efficiency was obtained. On the basis of formulating the minicar transmission efficiency test standard, the transmission system was tested. Test results indicated that the transmission efficiency values which obtained theoretically by calculation were in reasonable agreement with experimental results, the relative errors were less than 6%，especially in commonly used input torque and input speed range. This model provides theory basis for the design and optimization of auto transmission system.
