Abstract

Disclosed is a gear including an input shaft; an output shaft an outer wheel; an inner wheel positioned concentrically in relation to the outer wheel; a pressure means extending between the outer wheel and the inner wheel; and at least one revolving transmitter configured to push the pressure means away from the inner periphery of the outer wheel and push the pressure means onto the outer periphery the inner wheel.

Claims (18)

1. A gear comprising:

an input shaft;

an output shaft

an outer wheel comprising teeth;

an inner wheel positioned concentrically in relation to the outer wheel, the inner wheel comprising teeth;

a pressure means extending between an inner periphery of the outer wheel and an outer periphery of the inner wheel, the pressure means comprising a tooth belt with inner and outer toothing, a plurality of teeth of the inner and outer toothing of the tooth belt engaging the teeth of the outer wheel and the inner wheel; and

at least one revolving transmitter comprising:

a motor-side dragger disk comprising a motor-side eccentric cam and a motor-side eccentric cam bearing; and

a gear-side dragger disk comprising a gear-side eccentric cam and a gear-side eccentric cam bearing; and

wherein the motor-side dragger disk and the gear-side dragger disk are shaped as circular disks; and

wherein the input shaft is connected to the transmitter such that the transmitter is configured to lift the tooth belt off of the outer periphery of the inner wheel and to push the tooth belt against the inner periphery of the outer wheel to create relative movement between the inner wheel and the outer wheel when driven by the input shaft.

2. The gear of claim 1 , characterised in that the output shaft is connected to the inner wheel.

3. The gear of claim 1 , characterised in that the output shaft is connected to the outer wheel.

4. A motor-gear unit with the gear of claim 1 , the motor-gear unit comprising an electric motor, a rotor of the electric motor being connected to the input shaft of the gear.

5. The motor-gear unit of claim 4 , characterised in that the electric motor is a DC brushless motor with a radial gap.

6. A motor-gear unit with the gear of claim 1 , the motor-gear unit comprising an internal combustion engine, an output shaft of the engine being connected to the input shaft of the gear.

7. A vehicle comprising the motor-gear unit of claim 4 , characterised in that at least one driven wheel of the vehicle is connected to the output shaft of the gear.

8. An electric generator with a drive unit and with a generator unit and with the gear of claim 1 , an input shaft of the gear being connected to the drive unit and an output shaft of the gear being connected to an input shaft of the generator.
