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 the patent application includes a lubrication path that supplies lubricating oil to each clutch unit. The lubrication path is designed to have the shortest length and increased size for efficient lubrication.
- The lubrication path supplies lubricating oil from an oil inlet on the case outside the cylinder into the hub of each clutch unit.
- The oil hole is positioned between the external surface of the cylinder and the bearing supporting it.
- The lubrication path is also between the spacer supporting the bearing and the snap ring supporting the spacer.
- The lubrication path is further between the internal diameter of the cylinder and the external diameter of the drum of each clutch unit.
- The lubrication path extends into the drum of each clutch unit, allowing for left and right lubrication paths for the left and right clutch units.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: This driving force distribution device can be used in vehicles to efficiently distribute driving force to the left and right clutch units.
- Industrial machinery: The device can also be applied in various industrial machinery where driving force distribution is required.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient lubrication: The design of the lubrication path ensures that lubricating oil reaches each clutch unit effectively, improving the overall performance and longevity of the device.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance: The optimized lubrication path allows for efficient distribution of driving force, resulting in better performance of the driving force distribution device.
- Increased durability: Proper lubrication ensures that the clutch units are well-maintained, leading to increased durability and reduced wear and tear.
Original Abstract Submitted
A driving force distribution device includes a lubrication path LP supplying lubricating oil from an oil inlet positioned on the case outside a cylinder into a hub of each clutch unit through an oil hole positioned between an external surface of the cylinder of each operation unit and a bearing supporting the same, between a spacer supporting the bearing and a snap ring supporting the spacer, between an internal diameter of the cylinder of each operation unit and an external diameter of a drum of each clutch unit, and in the drum of each clutch unit, allowing left and right lubrication paths for lubrication of left and right clutch units to have the shortest length, and simultaneously, each flow path to have an increased size.
