ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION MECHANISM THEREOF
A transmission mechanism of an all-terrain vehicle is provided, which includes an independent suspension axle. The independent suspension axle includes a left driving half-axle and a right driving half-axle. A jaw differential is provided at a joint of the left driving half-axle and the right driving half-axle and is configured to allow half-axles at two sides to rotate at different speeds when the axle of the all-terrain vehicle transmits power to the half-axles at the two sides, and prevent a wheel at one side from slipping. For the all-terrain vehicle adopting the jaw differential, side tipping, side slipping, and tire scuffing are not apt to occur, thus the vehicle may get rid of stuck conditions such as slipping, and the working reliability of the all-terrain vehicle is improved. An all-terrain vehicle adopting the transmission mechanism is further provided.
Inner plunger of solenoid assembly for differential clutch of vehicle and manufacturing method thereof
An inner plunger of a solenoid coil assembly for a differential clutch of a vehicle contributes to weight lightening and price reduction of a solenoid assembly, provide various shapes, reduce friction against an inner housing, and improve the function of the solenoid assembly. The inner plunger includes an outer wheel combined with a coil bobbin of a solenoid assembly and an inner wheel combined with an inner housing. The inner wheel is molded of insulator synthetic resin with excellent moldability, magnetic metal as the outer wheel is inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the inner wheel made of the synthetic resin, and an undercut groove is formed on the whole inner surface of the inner wheel made of synthetic resin in order to reduce friction against an inner housing.
Control of a limited slip differential optimized for slippery driving conditions
A vehicle has an engine, a limited slip differential (LSD) mounted on an axle driven by the engine, and left and right wheels operably connected to the LSD. At least one parameter indicative of a riding condition of the vehicle is determined. A slippery driving condition is detected based on the at least one parameter. The LSD is selectively locked in response to the detection. The slippery driving condition is detected when a torque requested by a user is above a load line of the engine, upon successive wheel slips occurrences, and/or when a wheel slip is detected while a preload is applied to the LSD.
