SELF-BLOCKING DIFFERENTIAL OF VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B60K17/16 F16H48/20 

FIELD: mechanic.

SUBSTANCE: the self-blocking differential contains a power-driven shell with lids, in which half shaft elements are placed coaxially and connected with the half shaft. The half shaft elements, on their upper surface, have spiral channels running in a direction opposite the spiral, odd number of rolling elements (balls), one closed channel containing a working groove open for inserting ball segments into the spiral channels of the half shaft elements; a longitudinal return channel with dimensions equal to the ball diameter, connected by intermediate channels made in the lids of the power-driven shell. The outside surface of the intermediate channels in the longitudinal section has a radius equal to 1.25 diameters of the ball; and their wall, at the outlet to the zone of connection to the return channel, contains a straight section. In the lids, a slot with dimensions equal to those of the working groove is made for placement of spiral channels of the half shaft elements in the intermediate channels area.

EFFECT: increased reliability of self-blocking differential.
