SELF-LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: self-locking differential has housing (1), driving (2) and driven (3) gear wheels, driving shaft (4), output semiaxles (5), two freewheel mechanisms, and mechanism for adjusting freewheel mechanisms. The freewheel mechanism has locking bodies interposed between races (6) and (7) and made of stacks of flexible plates. The some ends of the plates are mounted on the axles for permitting rotation in race (6). The other ends engage race-sprocket (7) made of the rigidly interconnected ratchet gearings. Semiaxles (5) are provided with a mechanism for adjusting the free-wheel mechanisms.

EFFECT: improved design.
