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 a rapid response speed. This device includes a ball that is rolling-supported between a worm wheel and a cam ring, generating an axial directional pressurizing force to control clutch units. The apparatus is designed to cancel out axial directional loads within each drum of the clutch units, preventing interface issues between the loads.
- The apparatus includes a ball ramp device with a ball rolling between a worm wheel and a cam ring.
- The ball generates an axial directional pressurizing force to control clutch units.
- Axial directional loads within each drum of the clutch units are canceled out by a snap ring and a spacer.
- This design prevents interface problems between axial directional loads on the clutch units.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for advanced torque distribution systems - Industrial machinery for precise torque control - Robotics for efficient power transmission
Problems Solved: - Rapid response speed in torque distribution - Prevention of interface issues between axial directional loads - Enhanced control over clutch units
Benefits: - Improved performance in torque distribution - Increased efficiency in power transmission - Enhanced durability and reliability
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Torque Distribution System for Automotive and Industrial Applications This technology can be utilized in various industries such as automotive, industrial machinery, and robotics for precise torque control and efficient power transmission. The rapid response speed and enhanced control over clutch units make it a valuable innovation for improving performance and efficiency in torque distribution systems.
Questions about Torque Distribution Technology: 1. How does the ball ramp device contribute to the rapid response speed of the driving torque distribution apparatus? 2. What are the specific benefits of canceling out axial directional loads within each drum of the 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.
