VEHICLE POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240200634 titled 'VEHICLE POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a vehicle power transmission apparatus that includes a flywheel, an input shaft, and a disk. The flywheel has a center hole where the end portion of a crankshaft is inserted, the input shaft receives power from the engine through the flywheel, and the disk is connected to the flywheel and the input shaft.

  • The flywheel has a center hole where the end portion of the crankshaft is inserted.
  • The input shaft receives power from the engine through the flywheel.
  • The disk is connected to the flywheel and the input shaft.

Key Features and Innovation: - Integration of the flywheel, input shaft, and disk for efficient power transmission. - Spline-fitted center hole on the disk for secure connection to the input shaft. - Engine-side end portion of the input shaft with a larger diameter than the fitting portion of the flywheel's center hole.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle power transmission systems. - Industrial machinery for power transfer applications.

Problems Solved: - Efficient power transmission between the engine, flywheel, and input shaft. - Secure connection between the components for reliable operation.

Benefits: - Improved power transmission efficiency. - Enhanced durability and reliability of the transmission system.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include automotive vehicles, industrial machinery, and other power transmission systems in various industries.

Questions about Vehicle Power Transmission Apparatus: 1. How does the integration of the flywheel, input shaft, and disk improve power transmission efficiency? 2. What are the key advantages of spline-fitted center holes in the disk for connecting to the input shaft?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in vehicle power transmission technology and innovations in power transfer systems for various applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle power transmission apparatus including: (i) a flywheel provided with a center hole in which an end portion of a crankshaft of an engine is inserted such that an outer circumferential surface of the end portion of the crankshaft is fitted in a fitting portion of the center hole; (ii) an input shaft to which a power of the engine is transmitted through the flywheel; and (iii) a disk including an outer peripheral portion connected to an outer peripheral portion of the flywheel, and provided with a center hole spline-fitted on an outer circumferential surface of an engine-side end portion of the input shaft. the outer circumferential surface of the engine-side end portion of the input shaft has a diameter larger than a diameter of the fitting portion of the center hole of the flywheel.
