Abstract
In an infinitely variable transmission, a continuously variable transmission ( ) outputs the rotation of an input shaft ( ) at an arbitrary speed ratio, and a fixed speed ratio transmission ( ) outputs the rotation of the input shaft ( ) at a fixed speed ratio. A planetary gear set ( ) varies the rotation direction and speed of the output shaft ( ) according to the difference of the output rotation speed of the fixed speed ratio transmission ( ) and the output rotation speed of the continuously variable transmission ( ). A sensor ( ) which detects the rotation speed of the input shaft ( ) and a sensor ( ) which detects the output rotation speed of the continuously variable transmission ( ) are provided, and a microprocessor ( ) precisely calculates the rotation direction and rotation speed of the output shaft ( ) from these rotation speeds.
