摘要:
An over-running clutch assembly for an automotive transmission comprises an outer race having a cylindrical inner surface and an inner race engaged with a drop shaft of the transmission and having a cammed outer surface coaxial with the cylindrical inner surface and defining a gap therebetween and a roller clutch disposed within the gap; a biasing element to bias the roller clutch to a disengaged position; and an actuator to selectively overcome the biasing element to engage the roller clutch and lock the outer race and inner race and prevent relative rotation between the outer race and inner race, thereby preventing rotation of the drop shaft and movement of the automobile.
摘要:
A clutch mechanism (20) is disclosed for use with a hybrid electric vehicle (22) wherein the electric motor-generator (26) and engine (24) are arranged in a series configuration. The clutch mechanism (20) is positioned between and in communication with the electric motor-generator (26) and engine (24) to allow for either direct drive or a predetermined gear ratio between the electric motor-generator (26) and engine (24). The electric motor-generator (26) is preferably an integrated electric motor and generator. The engine (24) is preferably a combustion engine.
