Abstract

A flexibly engaged continuously variable transmission gearbox includes the following components connected sequentially in a transmission: a power input shaft conical roller, a sectional input flexible sprocket, a tooth-shaped chain, a sectional output flexible sprocket, a power output shaft conical roller. When the power input shaft conical roller rotates, it drives five sectional input flexible sprocket members that are slidably matched in five equidistant T-shaped grooves on the conical roller to rotate. The sectional input flexible sprocket drives the tooth-shaped chain engaged therewith to transmit, and thus drives the five sectional output flexible sprocket members that are slidably matched in the five equidistant T-shaped grooves on the output shaft conical roller to rotate. The five sectional output flexible sprocket members are connected to the output shaft conical roller through the five equidistant slidable T-shaped grooves.
