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 external surface, have spiral grooves with a semi-circular cross-section, the direction of which is reverse to that of the spiral, rolling elements (balls) filling the closed channels in the power-driven shell, in chains. The closed channels contain working grooves open for inserting ball segments into the spiral grooves. The longitudinal bypass channels and the side return channels are formed by slots in the lids and cuts around the perimeter of the distribution washers installed on the half shaft elements. The distribution washers have a diameter equal to the working groove dimension.

EFFECT: increases reliability of self-blocking differential.
