A damper pulley for a hybrid vehicle with a mild hybrid starter and generator (MHSG) includes: a crank adapter coupled to a crankshaft that is rotated by a driving torque of an engine of the hybrid vehicle; a clutch having a surface mounted on the crank adapter; a pulley body having an interior circumference to which a pulley adapter is coupled; and a bearing interposed between an exterior circumference of the crank adapter and the interior circumference of the pulley body and disposed so as to enable the pulley body to be freely rotatable. The clutch connects the crankshaft to the pulley body through the pulley adapter during an operation condition of the engine, and the clutch releases the connection of the crankshaft to the pulley body through the pulley adapter during the stopping condition of the engine.

Right and left driving force distribution unit for four-wheel drive vehicle

A cylindrical ring gear has first external teeth and a support portion in an axial direction of the cylindrical ring gear. An output shaft extends through the cylindrical ring gear and is supported to rotate concentrically with the cylindrical ring gear. A disconnect mechanism is configured to connect or disconnect an inner periphery of the cylindrical ring gear to an outer periphery of the output shaft based on a moved position of the movable engagement member. An actuator is disposed such that the first external teeth are located between the support portion and the actuator. The actuator is configured to move the movable engagement member between a connection position and a disconnection position. The cylindrical ring gear is coupled to the output shaft so as to be relatively non-rotatable in the connection position. Relative rotation between the cylindrical ring gear and the output shaft is allowed in the disconnection position.

20180257487 · 2018-09-13 ·

A vehicle transfer structure includes a main-drive-wheel output shaft that receives torque from a drive source and outputs it to main drive wheels, a part-time-drive-wheel output shaft provided parallel to the main-drive-wheel output shaft, a coupling provided on the main-drive-wheel output shaft and which partially extracts the torque to the part-time-drive-wheel output shaft via a transmission mechanism, and a damper disposed on the main-drive-wheel output shaft. The coupling is provided with an input-side coupling part coupled to an inner circumferential part of the damper. The input-side coupling part is coupled, via a spline-fitted section, to an output-side coupling part of a drive force transmission member which is coupled to an outer circumferential part of the damper and transmits a drive force to a driving-side transmission member of the transmission mechanism. The spline-fitted section allows a relative rotation between the input- and output-side coupling parts within a given angle.
