A snow shovel structure of a snow plow robot. The snow shovel structure includes a housing where a snow shovel mechanism is. The snow shovel mechanism extends outside the housing and includes a first motor fixed on a top of the housing. The first motor is fixedly connected with a telescopic rod through an output shaft. A second motor is further provided on a top portion of an inner chamber of the housing, and a horizontal plate is fixedly arranged on a side wall of the inner chamber of the housing.

A transmission includes a transmission main housing, an intermediate plate secured to the transmission main housing; and a rear housing attached to the intermediate plate. An input shaft is connected to an extension shaft including a plurality of splitter gears selectively couple-able to the extension shaft. A main shaft is rotatably supported on the extension shaft and includes a plurality of main box gears selectively couple-able to the main shaft. A range shaft is drivingly connected to the main shaft and provides input to a planetary gear assembly, the range shaft being supported by a first bearing disposed within the intermediate plate and further including a bore disposed within a forward end. The extension shaft is supported at a first end by a bearing assembly within a partition wall and a second end is supported by a bearing assembly disposed within the bore in the range shaft.

A single chain drive is disclosed that includes a drive sprocket, a drive motor, idler sprockets, front and rear axle sprockets, and a single chain. The drive motor rotates the drive sprocket, which rotates the idler sprockets, which rotate the single chain, which rotates the front and rear axle sprockets. The drive sprocket can be a lantern gear with covers, and pins that connect the cover, and the idler sprockets can have teeth that mesh with the pins between the covers of the drive sprocket. A drive shaft can couple the drive motor and drive sprocket, and an integrated parking brake can prevent rotation of the drive shaft when engaged. A chain case with lubricant can enclose the drive sprocket, idler sprockets, chain, and axle sprockets. The drive sprocket, idler sprockets and axle sprockets can be sized to provide a desired gear reduction.

Methods and systems for a vehicle transmission are provided. An electromechanical transmission system includes, in one example, a power take-off (PTO) clutch configured to, in a first position, permit a motive power source shaft to solely drive a PTO. The PTO clutch is further configured to, in a second position, permit a first electric machine and a second electric machine to continuously vary a torque that is supplied to the PTO by the motive power source shaft.

A two-speed transmission alternately establishes two speed ratios between a primary drive pulley and one or more accessories pulleys of an accessory drive system. The two-speed transmission includes concentric input and output shafts fixed to input and output pulleys respectively. When an actuator is disengaged, a one-way clutch transfers power between the input shaft and the output shaft. The input shaft is fixed to the planet carrier of a planetary gear set and the output shaft is fixed to the sun gear of the planetary gear set. When the actuator is engaged, the ring gear of the planetary gear set is held establishing an overdrive speed relationship between the input pulley and the output pulley.

An agitation/defoaming device is provided, which can independently control revolving and rotational motion and can change a rotational direction relative to a revolving direction without a two-system rotary drive. The apparatus includes a rotary driving source, a braking device for rotary motions; first and second rotors revolved around revolving shaft, and first and second rotational bodies and container holders pivotally supported by the first rotor. A braking force is applied to the second rotor revolving along with the first rotor, generating a rotational motion, which is transmitted to either the first or second rotational body according to the revolving direction of the first rotor. The rotational motion is then transmitted from the first or second rotational body to the container holder through the first rotational body, thereby transmitting to the object the rotational motion according to the revolving direction while revolving the object.

An energy transfer system is disclosed. The system (100) includes plurality of rotatable input shafts (108), each having a first end (110) and a second end (112). The first end (110) is coupled to a plurality of drive sources (102). A plurality of rotatable output shafts (120) are operatively coupled to a pinion (116). A plurality of rolling friction gears (114) are coupled to the second end (112) of the plurality of the rotatable input shafts (108). The plurality of rolling friction gears (114) have circular gear teeth that mesh with circular gear teeth of the pinion (116) for transferring rotating movements of the plurality of the rotatable input shafts into rotating movements of the plurality of the rotatable output shafts (120). Each of the plurality of the rolling friction gears (114) houses a freewheeling clutch (118) acting upon the pinion (116).

A powertrain for an electric vehicle includes: a planetary gear including a first rotating element, a second rotating element, and a third rotating element, where the first rotating element is connected to a first shaft, the second rotating element is connected to a second shaft, and the third rotating element is connected to a third shaft; a first motor selectively supplying power to the first shaft at two or more gear ratios; and a second motor selectively supplying power to the first shaft and the second shaft. The third shaft is fixedly disposed on a transmission housing, and any two shafts among the first, second and third shafts restrain each other.
