The design method on the hydraulic control system is one of the key technologies of a metal V-belt continuously variable transmission(CVT).It can change the ratio of the transmission system by adjusting the pushing force of the pulley.By analyzing the structure characteristics and force relations,the design method of an important parameter of the CVT hydraulic system and the rate of transmission ratio,are put forward by simulating to the emblematical driving models.The structure parameters of the hydraulic system is gotten and validated by simulation on specific driving model.An effective design method is provided to develop the continuously variable transmission system.
