POOL CLEANER DRIVE MECHANISM
The invention relates to a drive mechanism for a pool cleaner (101). Rotation from a turbine assembly (201) is transmitted to a pair of rear wheels. A first wheel (104.1) is forwardly driven. The second wheel (104.2) is switch between corresponding forward rotation and rearward rotation. An axle (109) of the first wheel (104.1) includes a coaxial shaft which rotatably supports a sleeve that carries the second wheel (104.2). The reverse transmission is effected by a double-sided dog clutch member (117) slidably between a pair of clutch gears (118, 119) freely rotatable on a rotating lay shaft (111). A first clutch gear (118) is connected for reverse rotation and a second clutch gear (119) for forward rotation of the sleeve carrying the second wheel (104.2). A switching mechanism includes a movably mounted lever arm (122) engaging the double-sided clutch member (117) with a cam follower engaging a cam formation (116) carried on an independently supported control gear (115) in mesh with a worm gear (114) on the lay shaft (111). The lever arm includes a yoke (120) at one end located in a central groove (121) around the double-sided dog clutch member (117). The other end of the lever is pivotably connected to the chassis (102). The turbine assembly (201) has a flow path from an inlet to an outlet (204) through one side of the housing and an eccentrically mounted rotor (203). The rotor (203) has a circular array of turbine blades supported between end plates (208) with each blade having an inner edge (210) that is spaced radially outwardly from an axis of the rotor (203) defining a central cavity between the blades.
Device for decelerating and reversing ship
The front sides of pinions are rotatably supported by a first case via first taper roller bearings, and the back sides of the pinions are rotatably supported by a second case via second taper roller bearings, and the back sides of input shafts are rotatably supported by a case cover via third taper roller bearings, and clutches and input gears are stored in the case cover, and sleeves are interposed between the first taper roller bearings and the front side of the pinions, and the pinions are configured to be inserted and extracted into/from the sleeves.
COMPACT DRIVELINE
A system for a driveline is provided. In one example a driveline may include a first and a second input shaft gear disposed on an input shaft. In one example, the first input shaft gear may selectively drivingly engage with the input shaft via a first clutch and the second input shaft gear may selectively drivingly engage with the input shaft via a second clutch. In another example, a first and a second counter shaft gear may be disposed on a countershaft and drivingly engage with the countershaft, wherein the first input shaft gear drivingly engages with the first countershaft gear and the second input shaft gear is drivingly engages with the second countershaft gear via an idler gear.
Multi-plate clutch transmission and marine vehicle including a multi-plate clutch transmission
A multi-plate clutch transmission includes an arrangement for selectively engaging the clutch by moving the sleeve to cause one or more friction disks on a sleeve connected to a shaft to move into contact with one or more friction disks on a clutch basket connected to a gear driven by another gear and another shaft driven by a prime mover. An arrangement for selectively disengaging the clutch is provided that uses prime mover torque to move the one or more friction disks on the sleeve out of contact with the one or more.friction disks on the clutch basket.
Outboard motor
An outboard motor includes an oil passage that through which an oil flows from the shift chamber to a gear chamber. A circular recessed portion is formed on an upper surface of the gear chamber. A rectangular recessed portion communicating with the circular recessed portion is formed on a portion of the upper surface adjacent to the circular recessed portion. The rectangular recessed portion includes a front surface facing a side surface of the circular recessed portion, a left surface located on a reverse side of a rotation direction of the drive gear with respect to the front surface, and a right surface located on a side of the rotation direction with respect to the front surface. An outlet of the oil passage is arranged on the front surface at a position closer to the left surface than to the right surface.
Drive unit
A drive unit for driving a drive wheel is disclosed. The drive unit includes a motor, a torque converter and a power output part. The torque converter is a component to which a power is inputted from the motor. The power output part outputs the power, inputted thereto from the torque converter, to the drive wheel. The power output part includes a first gear train and a second gear train. The first gear train outputs the power, inputted to the power output part from the torque converter, in a first rotational direction. The second gear train outputs the power, inputted to the power output part from the torque converter, in a second rotational direction reverse to the first rotational direction.
MULTI-PLATE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND MARINE VEHICLE INCLUDING A MULTI-PLATE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION
A multi-plate clutch transmission includes an arrangement for selectively engaging the clutch by moving the sleeve to cause one or more friction disks on a sleeve connected to a shaft to move into contact with one or more friction disks on a clutch basket connected to a gear driven by another gear and another shaft driven by a prime mover. An arrangement for selectively disengaging the clutch is provided that uses prime mover torque to move the one or more friction disks on the sleeve out of contact with the one or more.friction disks on the clutch basket.
PARTIAL REVERSE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WITH AN ANNULAR SWING BODY
A partial reverse clutch assembly comprises a frame that mounts an input and output gears, a coupling member that couples the input and output gears, a swing body, and a lock gear. The coupling member engages with the swing body along a track of the coupling member. The swing body comprises radially inward tabs that slide along the track. The input gear drives the swing body, the coupling member, and the output gear in a first direction using a motorized rotational drive. The lock gear in engagement with the swing body prevents the swing body from rotating in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. The swing body partially rotates in the second direction until the tabs of the swing body are raised along a ramp to section of the track that forces the coupling member to decouple from the output gear.
