DRIVING TORQUE DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18388754 titled 'DRIVING TORQUE DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation:
The driving torque distribution apparatus described in the patent application utilizes a ball ramp device to achieve rapid response speed. This device includes a ball that is supported by rolling between a worm wheel rotated by a worm gear and a cam ring fixed in a rotation direction. The apparatus generates an axial directional pressurizing force to control clutch units, ensuring efficient torque distribution.
- The apparatus includes a ball ramp device with a ball for rapid response speed.
- The ball is rolling-supported between a worm wheel and a cam ring.
- Axial directional pressurizing force is generated to control clutch units.

Original Abstract Submitted
A driving torque distribution apparatus has a rapid response speed by applying a ball ramp device including a ball which is rolling-supported between a worm wheel rotated by a worm gear and a cam ring fixed in a rotation direction, and configured to generate an axial directional pressurizing force in conjunction with the rotation of the worm wheel, as first and second operation units to control first and second clutch units, and is configured so that an axial directional load due to pressurizing forces of the first and second operation units is canceled within each drum by a snap ring and a spacer fixed to internal and external sides of each drum of the first and second clutch units, preventing an interface between axial directional loads acting on the first and second clutch units.
