CRANK CASE STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240328501 titled 'CRANK CASE STRUCTURE

The abstract describes a crank case structure designed to reduce the front-rear dimension of the crank case in order to decrease the overall size of a power unit. The structure includes a crank case cover attached to the side surface of the crank case, a push rod that moves parallel to the crankshaft to disengage a clutch, and a clutch drive unit that operates the push rod. A through hole is formed in a sealing surface within the crank case to accommodate the push rod, with the clutch drive unit attached to the crank case cover.

  • The crank case structure aims to minimize the size of the power unit by reducing the front-rear dimension of the crank case.
  • It includes a crank case cover, push rod, and clutch drive unit to facilitate the disengagement of the clutch.
  • A through hole in the sealing surface allows the push rod to pass through, with the clutch drive unit attached to the crank case cover.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for compact power units - Small engine applications where space is limited

Problems Solved: - Reducing the overall size of power units - Facilitating clutch disengagement in a compact space

Benefits: - Space-saving design - Efficient clutch operation

Commercial Applications: Title: Compact Crank Case Structure for Power Units This technology could be utilized in various industries such as automotive, small engine manufacturing, and other applications requiring compact power units. The market implications include increased efficiency and space optimization in engine design.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on compact engine designs, clutch systems, and power unit optimization.

Frequently Updated Research: Research on compact engine components, clutch mechanisms, and power unit efficiency may provide valuable insights into the development and improvement of this technology.

Questions about Crank Case Structure: 1. How does the through hole in the sealing surface contribute to the operation of the push rod? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this compact crank case structure in different types of power units?


Original Abstract Submitted

a crank case structure that can reduce a front-rear dimension of the crank case to reduce the size of a power unit. a crank case structure adapted to a crank case () that houses a crankshaft (c) of a power unit (p), including a crank case cover () attached to a side surface of the crank case (), a push rod () that is disposed parallel to the crankshaft (c) and reciprocates to disengage a clutch (cl), and a clutch drive unit () that reciprocates the push rod (). a through hole (), through which the push rod () passes, is formed within an area of a sealing surface (), the sealing surface () is formed in the crank case () to attach to the crank case cover (), and the clutch drive unit () is attached to the crank case cover ().
