DRIVING FORCE DISTRIBUTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17880418 titled 'DRIVING FORCE DISTRIBUTION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The driving force distribution device described in this patent application is designed to distribute lubricating oil to various components of a clutch unit in a more efficient manner. Here are the key points:
- The device includes a lubrication path that supplies lubricating oil from an oil inlet positioned on the case outside a cylinder into a hub of each clutch unit.
- The lubrication path is created through an oil hole positioned between the external surface of the cylinder of each operation unit and a bearing supporting it.
- The lubrication path is also formed between a spacer supporting the bearing and a snap ring supporting the spacer.
- Additionally, the lubrication path is established between the internal diameter of the cylinder of each operation unit and the external diameter of a drum of each clutch unit.
- The lubrication path extends into the drum of each clutch unit, allowing for separate left and right lubrication paths for the lubrication of the left and right clutch units.
- The design ensures that the left and right lubrication paths have the shortest possible length, while also increasing the size of each flow path.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: The driving force distribution device can be used in various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, to improve the efficiency and performance of clutch units.
- Industrial machinery: The device can also be applied in industrial machinery that utilizes clutch units, such as construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and manufacturing machinery.
Problems solved by this technology:
- In traditional clutch units, the distribution of lubricating oil may not be optimal, leading to inadequate lubrication and potential damage to the components.
- Uneven distribution of lubricating oil can result in increased friction, heat generation, and wear and tear on the clutch unit.
- The driving force distribution device solves these problems by providing a more efficient and effective lubrication path for the clutch unit components.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance: The optimized lubrication path ensures that all components of the clutch unit receive adequate lubrication, leading to smoother operation and reduced wear.
- Increased durability: Proper lubrication helps to minimize friction and heat generation, extending the lifespan of the clutch unit.
- Enhanced efficiency: The shorter and larger lubrication paths allow for a more efficient distribution of lubricating oil, improving the overall efficiency of the clutch unit.
