A motive power transmission device including first and second motive power transmission members that are spline-fitted together includes a spring retaining member that retains a spring and is mounted on the first motive power transmission member. The spring retaining member includes a temporarily fixing portion that is temporarily fixed to and mounted on the first motive power transmission member in a first compression state of the spring and a locking portion that is locked with the second motive power transmission member in a second compression state where when the first and second motive power transmission members are spline-fitted together, the spring is compressed and urges the second motive power transmission member toward one side in a circumferential direction with respect to the first motive power transmission member.

A spline coupling comprises a male spline member having male spline teeth and a female spline member having female spline teeth complementary to and engaged with the male spline teeth. One or more of the female spline teeth has a tooth height lesser than a tooth height of another one or more of the female spline teeth. The tooth height of the one or more of the female spline teeth is defined by a top land surface of the one or more of the female spline teeth. The tooth height of the other one or more of the female spline teeth is defined by a top land surface of the other one or more of the female spline teeth. A drainage hole in the top land surface of the one or more of the female spline teeth passes through the one or more of the female spline teeth.

A disclosed submersible pump apparatus includes a three-dimensional frame, a pump housing, a drive shaft, an impeller, and first and second motors. The impeller is mounted on the driveshaft within the pump housing and is driven by one or both of the motors. The first motor is connected to a first end of the drive shaft and the second motor connected a second end of the drive shaft. The first and second motors are hydraulic motors and in a first configuration, the first and second motors are configured to cooperatively rotate the drive shaft with hydraulic fluid supplied to and removed from the first and second motors using a parallel fluidic connection. In a second configuration, only one of the motors has a drive gear and drives the drive shaft while the second motor does not have a drive gear and acts as a frictionless bearing supporting the drive shaft.

The present invention relates to an output gear, a wheel and a driving device for an electric scooter, and to the electric scooter. The output gear for an electric scooter comprises a gear having teeth and tooth spaces, an external spline securely connected to the center of a gear face of the gear, wherein the external spline has external spline teeth and external spline tooth spaces, shaft holes are defined in centers of the gear and the external spline. The gear directly outputs torque after speed reduction to the wheel by means of a connection structure of the external spline and the internal spline, so that a final output is more stable, the problem in a conventional electric scooter that the rotation of the scooter's wheel is affected due to a clearance between the output shaft and the wheel is alleviated, the speed reduction precision and sensitivity are consequently improved.

An electrically isolated coupler includes a drive body, a driven body, an insulating member and an isolation coating. The drive body is made of first metallic material and has a drive end configured to interface with a fastening component. The drive body includes a first interface portion and the driven body includes a second interface portion. The driven body is made of a second metallic material and has a driven end configured to interface with a driving tool. The insulating member is molded to fit between the drive body and the driven body to electrically isolate the drive body and the driven body from each other. The isolation coating is disposed on a surface of the first interface portion or the second interface portion that contacts the insulating member and faces the second interface portion or the first interface portion, respectively. The isolation coating includes a material that adheres to metal and has a dielectric strength of greater than about 10 kV.

A torque transfer assembly includes a drive shaft and a driven shaft. The drive shaft includes a motor shaft configured to be connected to and rotated by a motor, and a cam shaft connected to and rotatable with the motor shaft. The driven shaft is connected to and rotatable with the cam shaft, and the cam shaft is formed of a dielectric material defining an insulating barrier between the drive and the driven shaft.

A disclosed submersible pump apparatus includes a three-dimensional frame, a pump housing, a drive shaft, an impeller, and first and second motors. The impeller is mounted on the driveshaft within the pump housing and is driven by one or both of the motors. The first motor is connected to a first end of the drive shaft and the second motor connected a second end of the drive shaft. The first and second motors are hydraulic motors and in a first configuration, the first and second motors are configured to cooperatively rotate the drive shaft with hydraulic fluid supplied to and removed from the first and second motors using a parallel fluidic connection. In a second configuration, only one of the motors has a drive gear and drives the drive shaft while the second motor does not have a drive gear and acts as a frictionless bearing supporting the drive shaft.

During installation, an engagement structure of an actuator assembly positioning device restricts movement of a securement element of an anti-rotation bracket past a target location (e.g. midpoint) relative to a securement slot of an thereby, thereby guiding a user in positioning the anti-rotation bracket and actuator in a desired mounting arrangement. An optional constricting structure of the positioning device provides tactile feedback that the desired arrangement of the anti-rotation bracket and actuator has been reached. Upon being subject to a force in excess of a threshold force (e.g., as a result of eccentric loading on the actuator arising from an off-centered mounting of the actuator relative to a rotatable shaft), the engagement structure transitions to a second configuration in which the securement element is allowed to move past the target location, thereby accommodating eccentric movement of the actuator during operation.
