COUPLING BETWEEN SHAFT AND DRIVE CABLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18637653 titled 'COUPLING BETWEEN SHAFT AND DRIVE CABLE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method and apparatus for bonding a drive cable to a hollow shaft using molten material flowed through a coupling tube.
- The method involves inserting the drive-cable end and hollow-shaft end into a coupling tube.
- Molten material is then flowed through the coupling-tube pores to bond the drive cable to the shaft.
- The molten material solidifies, creating a strong bond between the drive cable and the shaft.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Inserting drive cable and hollow shaft into a coupling tube.
- Flowing molten material through the tube to bond the cable to the shaft.
- Creating a strong and durable connection between the drive cable and the shaft.
Potential Applications:
- Manufacturing of machinery and equipment.
- Automotive industry for transmission systems.
- Aerospace industry for control systems.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures a secure connection between the drive cable and the hollow shaft.
- Provides a reliable method for bonding different components together.
Benefits:
- Increased durability and strength of the connection.
- Simplified manufacturing process.
- Enhanced performance of the equipment.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include the manufacturing of machinery, automotive transmission systems, and aerospace control systems. This technology can improve the reliability and performance of various mechanical systems.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the molten material flow through the coupling tube to bond the drive cable to the shaft? 2. What are the advantages of using this method for bonding components in machinery and equipment?
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatus and methods are described including inserting a drive-cable end of a drive cable, which includes a plurality of coiled wires, and a hollow-shaft end of a hollow shaft, which hollow-shaft end is shaped to define multiple shaft pores, into opposing ends of a coupling tube, which is shaped to define multiple coupling-tube pores. While the drive-cable end and hollow-shaft end are inside the coupling tube, a molten material is flowed between the coiled wires at the drive-cable end via the coupling-tube pores, and into the hollow-shaft end via the coupling-tube pores and shaft pores, such that, upon solidifying, the material bonds the drive cable to the shaft. Other applications are also described.
