Compact torque-sensing limited-slip differentialApplication No.: 201010619416.3
Description: A limited-slip differential (LSD) is a type of automotive differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in angular velocity of the output shafts, but imposes a mechanical bound on the disparity. In an automobile, such limited-slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity. (Cited from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential) There are several traditional differentials, the most advanced two differentials of which are the Torsen differential invented by American Vernon Gleasman( Figure 1) and the Eaton limited-slip differential invented by Eaton company ( Figure 2). But these differentials' volume are very big and their structures are complicated. To reduce the volume and complexity of the current differentials, we designed a kind of limited-slip differential named Compact torque-sensing limited-slip differential (Figure 3), which greatly reduces the volume of the current world-famous limited-slip differentials using the least
components. |
