Controllable low-loss hydraulic retarder

PendingCN122328476ADrive wheelDrivetrain
This invention relates to a controllable, low-loss hydraulic retarder, comprising a housing and a cover, an output shaft, and a fixed wheel, a driven wheel, a first clutch, and a second clutch disposed within the housing. The output shaft passes through the housing and the cover and is connected in series to the vehicle's main drivetrain. The driven wheel is fixedly connected to the output shaft. The first clutch is mounted on the inner wall of the housing and connected to the fixed wheel. The second clutch is mounted on the output shaft and connected to the fixed wheel. Under braking conditions, the engagement of the first clutch and the disengagement of the second clutch keep the fixed wheel stationary relative to the housing. Under non-braking conditions, the disengagement of the first clutch and the engagement of the second clutch cause the fixed wheel to rotate synchronously with the output shaft and the driven wheel. A second control valve is provided on the housing to regulate the pressure and oil volume within the housing. This invention controls the engagement and disengagement of the two clutches to change the motion state of the fixed wheel, thereby minimizing losses under non-braking conditions.

Methods and Systems for Improving Automobile Safety

The accelerator of modern automobiles, especially electric vehicles, can be overly responsive, i.e., a small accelerator input can cause a relatively large increase in power applied to the drivetrain. This characteristic is beneficial for quick acceleration during medium to high-speed driving. However, it can be disadvantageous during low-speed maneuvers where space is tight and / or rolling resistance is high. To improve the safety and operating convenience, a special model can be added to the selections of automobile driving modes. This special mode can be activated automatically by the vehicle based on information such as vehicle location or manually by the driver.

A method and system for locating faults in a wind turbine drivetrain

ActiveCN121808524BBiological modelsWind motor commissioningTraining phaseDrivetrain
This invention discloses a method and system for locating faults in a wind turbine drivetrain. The method includes: constructing a dual-flow graph neural network model containing two paths: physical flow and latent flow. The input to the model is the features of each node constructed based on multi-channel vibration signals, and the output is an enhanced node representation. The physical flow and latent flow are used to extract explicit and implicit structural correlation features between nodes, respectively. During the training phase, physical consistency constraints are introduced to suppress unreasonable spatial jumps in the implicit correlation structure. During the model operation phase, a historical sample management mechanism based on sample information is combined to enable the model to continuously adapt to new fault categories without forgetting existing knowledge. Finally, the contribution of each sensor node is quantified based on the change in the original discriminant response to generate a fault location result consistent with the drivetrain topology. This invention can achieve refined and interpretable fault location in wind turbine drivetrain scenarios with small sample sizes and incremental learning.
