FAN COVER ASSEMBLY FOR A GEARBOX, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME, ASSEMBLY AND A MODULAR SET
Disclosed are a fan cover assembly for a gearbox, a method for producing same, an assembly and a modular set, the gearbox having a rotatable shaft and a fan mounted on the rotatable shaft, the fan cover assembly comprising: a fan cover with a first aperture for receiving the rotatable shaft and a shielding member with a second aperture for receiving the fan cover
wherein the fan cover is arrangeable in the second aperture with at least a first orientation defining a first position of the first aperture relative to the shielding member and with a second orientation defining a second position of the first aperture relative to the shielding member.
TRANSMISSION AND USE OF A RING COOLER
The invention relates to a transmission (10), preferably a bevel helical transmission, having a transmission housing (1) and having a drive shaft (2.1), on which a fan (9) is mounted, and comprising a ring cooler (4), which surrounds the drive shaft (2.1), oil lines (7.1, 7.2) for transporting transmission oil in an oil circuit from the interior of the transmission housing (1) to the ring cooler (4) and from the ring cooler (4) into the interior of the transmission housing (1), and an air-guiding hood (3.1, 3.2) surrounding the ring cooler (4) for guiding air suctioned by the fan (9) onto the ring cooler (4).
AIR COOLING ASSEMBLY
The present document relates to an air cooling assembly comprising a transmission assembly, a coupling housing mounted on the transmission assembly, a transmission input shaft at least partially disposed within the coupling housing and defining an axial direction, an air fan mounted on the transmission input shaft, and a fan hood at least partially enclosing the coupling housing and at least partially extending over the transmission assembly in the axial direction. The fan hood is configured to guide an air flow created by the air fan for cooling the transmission assembly.
PORTAL GEAR HUB WITH HEAT SINK FINS
A portal gear box assembly for an all-terrain vehicle includes a portal gear box housing with a set of gears contained therein, and a plurality of heat-radiating fins extending from the housing wall and effective to radiate heat from the housing at a faster rate than would be radiated in the absence of the fins. The fins may extend outward or inward from the housing, and may be formed integrally with one or more of the walls of the housing, or may be removably attached to the housing. Preferred fins comprise a generally rectangular, planer surface extending radially from a wall of the housing.
UTILITY VEHICLE
A utility vehicle including an engine; an exhaust pipe through which exhaust gas is discharged from the engine, the exhaust pipe being connected to the engine; and an air guide that guides outside air toward the exhaust pipe.
AIR-COOLED CVT CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
An apparatus and methods are provided for an air-cooled CVT clutch. The air-cooled CVT clutch includes a first cooling fan coupled with a primary clutch and a second cooling fan coupled with a secondary clutch. An outboard housing mates with an inboard housing to enclose the primary clutch and the secondary clutch. The first cooling fan is coupled to a moveable sheave comprising the primary clutch and configured to draw a cooling airstream through an air duct disposed in the outboard housing. The second cooling fan is coupled to a moveable sheave comprising the secondary clutch and configured to draw the cooling airstream from the primary clutch to the secondary clutch. The first cooling fan pushes the cooling airstream to the secondary clutch when the second clutch is not rotating.
VEHICLE
A vehicle including an engine body that has a crankcase that rotatably supports a crankshaft, a cylinder, and a cylinder head provided with an intake port and an exhaust port, in which a central axis of the crankshaft extends in the vehicle width direction, a CVT disposed on a side portion in the vehicle width direction of the engine body, a transmission disposed on one side in a front-rear direction of the engine body, an intake pipe connected to the intake port, an air cleaner connected to the intake pipe, an exhaust pipe connected to the exhaust port, and an exhaust muffler connected to the exhaust pipe. At least a part of each of the transmission, the intake pipe, the air cleaner, the exhaust pipe, and the exhaust muffler is disposed in a region where the engine body is projected in the front-rear direction.
TRANSMISSION HAVING A FAN ASSEMBLY
A transmission includes a fan assembly, including a fan wheel, a hood, and a guard. The fan wheel is connected to the driving shaft of the transmission for conjoint rotation, and the hood is attached to a, e.g., multi-piece retaining frame fastened to the housing of the transmission. The guard is formed of two guard parts, and the first parting line thereof is a straight segment or formed of two straight segments in alignment with each other. The hood is formed from two hood parts, and the second parting line thereof is a flat curve including straight line segments.
PARALLEL HYBRID POWER PLANT WITH HOLLOW MOTOR
A hybrid-electric powertrain system for aircraft includes a gearbox having a first rotary shaft for output to drive an air mover for aircraft thrust. The system includes a first prime mover connected by a second rotary shaft to the gearbox for power input to the gearbox. Further, the system includes a second prime mover connected by a third rotary shaft to the gearbox. The second prime mover can have a hollow core, and at least one of the first and second rotary shafts passes through the hollow core and the third rotary shaft.
OFF-HIGHWAY RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
An off-highway recreational vehicle includes side-by-side passenger and driver seats held within a chassis. The seats sit low in the chassis and are covered by a roll-over protection system (ROPS). The vehicle is powered by an engine rearward of the seats that utilizes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to provide power to the ground engaging members, wherein the CVT is cooled via air captured by a CVT intake body located adjacent the driver-side seat, between the frame and external panels of the utility vehicle.
