Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Described herein is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with oscillating racks. The CVT includes an input shaft and a plurality of cams that are coupled with the input shaft. The cams are configured to rotate with a rotation of the input shaft. The CVT also includes a plurality of racks that are coupled to respective cams. The racks are configured to oscillate with the rotation of the input shaft. The CVT further includes a plurality of pinions that are coupled to respective racks and a plurality of intermittent shafts that are coupled with respective pinions. The CVT also includes an output shaft that is coupled with the intermittent shafts. The output shaft is configured to rotate with a uniform rotation and a speed ratio relative to the rotation of the input shaft. Because the CVT does not use friction elements, many downsides of conventional CVTs may be mitigated.
