DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18554847 titled 'DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

The abstract describes a differential for a vehicle that includes a cage with a drive interface, two driven gears, a compensating gear, a flywheel mass, and a clutch.

  • The cage is rotatable about a first axis of rotation and houses the various components.
  • The first and second driven gears are mounted in the cage and rotate about the first axis of rotation.
  • The compensating gear is mounted in the cage about a second axis of rotation perpendicular to the first axis and meshes with the driven gears.
  • The flywheel mass is coupled to the cage, locked against rotation with respect to the first axis, and can move radially.
  • The clutch can move into a locking state due to the outward movement of the flywheel mass in the radial direction.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicles requiring differential systems. - Industrial machinery where precise torque distribution is needed.

Problems Solved: - Provides a mechanism for torque distribution in vehicles. - Allows for smooth operation and control of power delivery.

Benefits: - Improved traction and stability in vehicles. - Enhanced efficiency in power transmission.

Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturers for various vehicle models. - Industrial equipment manufacturers for machinery requiring differential systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the flywheel mass contribute to the operation of the differential? 2. What advantages does the compensating gear provide in this differential system?


Original Abstract Submitted

A differential for a vehicle. The differential includes a cage, which is rotatable about a first axis of rotation and has a drive interface, a first driven gear, mounted in the cage to be rotatable about the first axis of rotation, a second driven gear, mounted in the cage to be rotatable about the first axis of rotation, a compensating gear, which is mounted in the cage about a second axis of rotation extending perpendicularly to the first axis of rotation and meshes with the first and the second driven gear, a flywheel mass, coupled to the cage and locked against rotation with respect to the first axis of rotation and displaceable in a radial direction perpendicularly to the first axis of rotation, and a clutch, which, as a result of an outward movement of the flywheel mass in the radial direction, is movable into a locking state.
