Classic differentials work like a balance
As you can see, at least three gears are required to turn the two wheel axles. The mirror drive gear inside the differential drum, which ensures that both axles rotate equally, is the only part of the other differential operating from the engine. As the car goes straight on the road, the gears in the middle of the differential watermelon rotate with the wheels, as no more weight is placed on any of the wheels. However, when the car enters the bend, these gears come into play, making the car's 1: 1 rotation ratio faster than the bend, slower rotating thrust wheels in the bend.
In addition to the working principles of a normal differential mentioned above, there are several different systems in locked differentials. In the first of these, small friction washers prevent the gears from rotating, which allows both wheels in the middle of the differential to turn evenly and which can be described as balance gears. This blocking continues until the car begins to go straight again.
Another type is the lock type in the axles (which are blue in the figure) and the gears where the gears do not fully enter the watermelon. The parts mentioned here are attached to the differential by means of the flattened pressure rings. This system, which is activated when the wheels turn speed increases, that is, when the car starts to spin, works by pressing the rings firmly on the brake plates and keeps it until the torque of the car is 1: 1. The name of this system is the torque differential lock. In the other differential type, the spur gear wheels placed in opposite directions remain locked until the turning moment is 1: 1, when the car starts to spin. This system, which was established with a simple logic, is also used in many developed cars. In addition to these systems, manual and automatic locks are also available in 4x4 vehicles. quotation |
