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.
