行星齒輪式汽車自動變速器為配置於引擎與驅動輪之間的一種傳動裝置，使車輛在行駛過程中讓引擎維持在一定的工作轉速範圍。由於多速並排式行星齒輪變速機構的檔位合成與離合器配置理論尚未完善，因此本文目的在於發展系統化的設計程序，做為多速並排式自動變速器設計的依據。本文首先說明並排式汽車自動變速器的基本組成與作動原理，並提出自動變速器的比例圖解分析方法，以及整理多速並排式自動變速器的設計規格；其次提出以槓桿比例圖為基礎的檔位合成方法，發展並排式自動變速器之圖解式設計方法與離合器配置之程序；接著以所提的圖解式設計方法，進行六速與八速並排式自動變速器的設計。最後由所給定的轉速比值有系統地建立六速與八速並排式自動變速器的完整圖集。本文所提之設計方法具有簡便性、有效性與完整性，可應用於更多速並排式自動變速器之開發與設計。

An epicyclic-type automatic transmission is a device that is connected to the back of an engine and sends the power from the engine to the drive wheels. Its job is to keep the engine within a certain angular velocity. For the development of multi-speed parallel-connected automatic transmission for automobiles, the related configuration design methods are still tedious and prone to human error. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to present an efficient methodology for the systematic design of the parallel-connected automatic transmission for automobiles. First, fundamentals and gear-shifting operations of the parallel-connected automatic transmission are illustrated to establish the design requirements, and the theory of the analysis of speed ratios for epicyclic-type automatic transmission is derived based on the concept of lever analogy. Next, one simple clutching-sequence synthesis methods are proposed and illustrated, based on the lever analogy, and the design theory and the procedure of clutch configuration of epicyclic-type automatic transmission are developed. With the above methods, designs of six-speed and eight-speed parallel-connected automatic transmission. Finally, the complete atlas of six-speed and eight-speed parallel-connected automatic transmission can be systematically synthesized from the data of given speed ratios. This proposed design method can also be applied to the development and design of multi-speed parallel-connected automatic transmissions.
