DRIVING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240328509 titled 'DRIVING APPARATUS
The driving apparatus described in the patent application includes a rotary electric machine that can output rotation in two different directions, a fluid pump, an actuator, and a one-way clutch.
- The rotary electric machine generates power that is used by the fluid pump and actuator.
- The fluid pump is responsible for intake and discharge of fluid when rotation in the first direction is input.
- The one-way clutch blocks rotation in the first direction and transmits rotation in the second direction.
- The actuator consists of a shift drum that rotates in response to the rotation transmitted by the one-way clutch, and a shift fork engaged with the shift drum.
- The shift fork has multiple operating states and transitions between them in response to the rotation of the shift drum.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for transmission systems - Industrial machinery for precise control of movements
Problems Solved: - Efficient transmission of power in both directions - Precise control of actuator movements
Benefits: - Improved performance and efficiency in driving systems - Enhanced control and reliability in operation
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driving System for Automotive and Industrial Applications This technology can be used in vehicles, machinery, and other applications that require precise control of movements and efficient power transmission.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the one-way clutch contribute to the overall functionality of the driving apparatus? 2. What are the key advantages of using a rotary electric machine in this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
a driving apparatus includes a rotary electric machine configured to output rotation in a first direction and rotation in a second direction, a fluid pump and an actuator that are configured to operate with the output of the rotary electric machine as power, and a one-way clutch provided between the rotary electric machine and the actuator. the fluid pump is configured to intake and discharge a fluid when at least the rotation in the first direction is input. the one-way clutch is configured to block the rotation in the first direction and transmit the rotation in the second direction. the actuator includes a shift drum configured to rotate in one direction in response to the rotation in the second direction transmitted via the one-way clutch, and a shift fork engaged with the shift drum. the shift fork has a plurality of operating states including at least a first state and a second state, and alternately transitions between the first state and the second state in response to the rotation of the shift drum in the one direction.
