Abstract: The present invention relates to a differential gear equipped with a selectively controllable locking device. Said locking device is self energizing, i.e. it utilizes the differentiation energy (i.e. the possible torque imbalance) to self-lock on its own accord. The control signal is therefore not needed to lock the locking device but rather to selectively control it not to lock itself. Said control signal is designed to, separately for each of the two possible differentiation directions, allow or not allow the locking device to lock. In this way the differential gear will get four different working modes. Said working modes are respectively; open regardless of differentiation direction; open in one differentiation direction but self-locking in the other direction; open in the other direction but self-locking in the first one; self-locking regardless of differentiation direction. A control unit is supplied with sensor data of the present “driving situation”. Said control unit has a steering strategy. With the right steering strategy it can regulate the control signal so as to admit the differential gear to equalize the torque at each output shaft for as long as possible but still to practically eliminate the risk of one wheel spin.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及配备有选择性控制的锁定装置的差动齿轮。 所述锁定装置是自激能的，即它利用微分能量（即可能的扭矩不平衡）自行自锁。 因此，不需要控制信号来锁定锁定装置，而是选择性地控制该锁定装置以使其不被锁定。 所述控制信号被设计为分别用于两个可能的微分方向中的每一个，允许或不允许锁定装置锁定。 以这种方式，差速齿轮将获得四种不同的工作模式。 所说的工作模式分别是 开放无论分化方向; 在一个分化方向开放，但在另一个方向自锁; 在另一个方向打开，但在第一个方向自锁; 自锁无论分化方向如何。 向控制单元提供当前“驾驶状况”的传感器数据。 所述控制单元具有转向策略。 通过正确的转向策略，它可以调节控制信号，以允许差速齿轮尽可能长地平衡每个输出轴处的扭矩，但仍然实际上消除了一个车轮旋转的风险。

Abstract: A power divider for motor vehicles includes a housing, a primary shaft and a secondary shaft, wherein a friction clutch having an outer part that is rigidly connected to the primary shaft, and an inner part, derives torque from the primary shaft and delivers the torque to the secondary shaft by means of the inner part and a displacement drive. To ensure a sufficient supply of lubrication oil under all conditions, an oil reservoir, which at least partially surrounds the ramp ring, is fixed in the housing between the coupling and the displacement drive. The base of the oil reservoir comprises at least one opening, which is adjacent to the upper part of the periphery of the ramp ring, and the oil reservoir has at least one guiding device that extends into the centrifugal area of the displacement drive, through which the centrifuged lubrication oil is received in the reservoir.

Abstract: An improved differential gear mechanism is characterized by a lockout mechanism (63) operably associated with a flyweight mechanism (53) and including a lockout member (65, 101) positionable, in response to an input signal, in a normal condition and a lockout condition. In the normal condition, the lockout member (65, 101) permits a flyweight stop surface (57) to move from the retracted position to the extended position. In the lockout condition, the lockout member (65, 101) prevents the flyweight stop surface (57) from moving from the retracted position to the extended position.

Abstract: A locking differential gear mechanism of the type which can operate in either a manual mode or an automatic mode. The mechanism includes a gear case (11), and differential gearing including a side gear (23). The side gear (23) includes a flange portion (43) having a set of gear teeth (45), and adjacent thereto is a locking member (47), also having a set of gear teeth (49), disposed to engage the gear teeth on the flange portion. A ball ramp actuator is disposed adjacent the locking member (47), which is preferably integral with an inner actuating plate (57). There is an outer actuating plate (59), preferably disposed outside the gear case (11), and a set of cam balls (73) operable with the actuating plates (57,59) to cause ramp-up, and engagement of the gear teeth (45,49). An electromagnetic coil assembly (75) is disposed adjacent the ball ramp actuator, and is operable to retard rotation of the outer actuating plate (59), and initiate ramp-up, in response to an electrical input signal. The resulting locking differential is very compact and can be engaged or disengaged very quickly.

Abstract: A torque proportioning differential mechanism (1) for transmitting drive to at least two wheels of a vehicle. The differential includes a carrier (2) adapted to be rotatably driven about a first axis (3) and a plurality of inner peripherally spaced pinion-locating formations (6) defining respective inwardly directed carrier thrust surfaces (7). A pair of spaced apart bevel side gears (4,5) are respectively adapted for connection to the wheels and supported for rotation about a common axis (3) fixed with respect to the carrier. A plurality of peripherally spaced floating shaftless bevel pinions (8) are disposed in meshing engagement with both the side gears (4,5). Each pinion defines a complementary outer pinion thrust surface (9) nestingly disposed closely adjacent a respective one of the locating formations. Under normal driving conditions when both wheels have substantial traction, the pinions are permitted to rotate with minimal frictional resistance in response to relative rotation of the side gears (4,5). Under conditions of wheel slip, however, a separating force component tends to urge the pinions away from the side gears and into engagement with the respective locating formations to create a temporary frictional reaction force between the carrier (2) and the outer pinion thrust surfaces (9). The frictional reaction force resists rotation of the pinions relative to the carrier and thereby provides temporary torque bias between the side gears (4,5).

Abstract: An improved mechanism for delivering motive power to the wheel-tire units on a land vehicle, comprising a differential having two operating modes, namely a "locked" mode and an "unlocked" mode. The unlocked mode is used when a tire is punctured; differences in tire diameter incident to tire puncture are effectively compensated. The locked mode is used when the vehicle is traversing slippery terrain; tractive force is maintained under adverse operating conditions.

Abstract: A mechanical power transmission apparatus, of the differential gear type, for actuating an airplane control surface requiring two independent actuator inputs to a single control surface. Predetermined, proportionately variable, asymmetric loads between the two actuators are accomodated by a load sensitive brake in conjunction with a fuse link which fails in the event of single actuator or drive means failure. The fuse link is provided by employing a shear pin to attach the pinion gear in the differential to the pinion shaft. The shear pin failure strength in conjunction with the load variable brake determines the allowable differential torque between the two driven bevel gears.
