Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional differential wheel sets fail to generate torque differential between loads and can result in no driving power to inner wheels when a clutch device is released, limiting their ability to achieve differential speed effectively.
Innovation Solution
A differential drive system with individual clutch control and mutual flexibility transmission, utilizing a rotary kinetic power source to drive a first transmission device, which is connected to multiple loading wheel sets via output end transmission devices and flexibility transmission devices with slip coupling torque, allowing for differential rotational speed while maintaining driving power across wheel sets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a conventional differential wheel set is used to achieve differential speed, then the wheel sets can rotate at different speeds, but torque differential cannot be generated between the two loads
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the power transmission system into independent segments with individual clutch devices (CL101, CL102, CL103, CL104) controlling each wheel set separately. This segmentation allows each wheel set to receive controlled driving power independently, enabling both differential speed and torque differential by selectively engaging or disengaging clutches for each wheel set based on load requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs dynamically controllable clutch devices that can be engaged or disengaged based on real-time operational requirements. The clutch control devices allow the system to dynamically adjust power distribution to each wheel set, enabling torque differential generation while maintaining differential speed capability through flexible on-demand power transmission control
2Speed
If a clutch device is released to drive an inner wheel, then differential speed can be achieved, but no driving power is applied to the inner wheel
Solution Approach 1:
The clutch devices provide dynamic control over power transmission to each wheel set. By selectively engaging clutches, the system can maintain differential speed while ensuring driving power is applied to inner wheels when needed, rather than completely disconnecting power
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different power transmission characteristics to different wheel sets through individual clutch control. Each wheel set receives tailored power control based on its specific operational needs, allowing the inner wheel to receive appropriate driving power while maintaining differential speed capability

AI summary
The present invention utilizes the rotary kinetic power to drive the first transmission device (T101), and is individually installed with the output end transmission devices to the output end of the first transmission device (T101), so as to drive the loading wheel sets installed at the two sides of the common load body (L100), as well as installed with individually controlled output end clutch devices for controlling the driven wheel sets and the wheel shafts to perform engaging transmission or terminating transmission, and between the wheel shafts of the loading wheel sets at two lateral sides of the common load body (L100), a flexibility transmission device is installed, thereby through the flexibility transmission device performing the flexibility transmission with differential rotational speed from the engaging transmission side to the terminating transmission side.
