A drive unit assembly (32) utilizes a single input (38) to drive a pair of laterally spaced wheel ends (34). Each wheel end is suspended independently from the other. The input is operatively coupled to only one of the wheel ends and an exposed axle shaft assembly (36) interconnects the input to the opposite wheel end. The axle shaft assembly includes multiple shaft members (60, 62, 64) to interconnect the laterally spaced wheel ends. One of the axle shaft members is mounted to a vehicle floor structure with a bearing mount (74) and includes connection joints (66) at either end to accommodate the independent motion of each wheel end. The floor and the shaft member move together during suspension travel, allowing the floor to have a lower profile than is traditionally available.

A drop-centre axle (1) includes a casing (2), first and second wheel-bearing assemblies (16,17), and a differential gear (6) mounted in the box (2) for transmitting drive torque from a drive member (7) to two half-shafts (8,9) which are each coupled to a corresponding wheel-bearing assembly (16,17) by means of respective reduction gears (18) fitted in the axle box end portions (4,5) of the box (2). Each of the reduction gears (18) includes an intermediate shaft (27) arranged at an intermediate height between the corresponding half-shaft of the differential gear (6) and the shaft or axis (20) of the wheel-bearing assembly (16,17), a first reduction stage (28,29) between a half-shaft (8,9) of the differential gear (6) and the intermediate shaft (27), and a second reduction stage (30,31) between the intermediate shaft (27) and the shaft or axle (20) of the corresponding wheel-bearing assembly (16,17). Each reduction gear (18) is constructed and arranged in such a way that in use the intermediate shaft (27) and the second reduction stage (30,31) extend, with their associated wheel-side supports (32,33) at least partly into the space defined between the disc portion (21) and the inner edge (22a) of the rim (22) of the corresponding wheel (23).

An axle system (12) includes an axle lubrication level (A1) within an axle housing (16) which is lower than a wheel end lubrication level (W1) within the wheel end assemblies (14A,14B). An opening (48) through the wheel end assembly housing (46A) provides a fluid communication path between the wheel end assembly (14A) and the axle housing (16). A differential assembly rotates adjacent an opening (48) such that lubrication at the wheel end lubrication level (W1) is rotated into the opening (48). The lubricant within the wheel end assemblies (14A,14B) is maintained at the wheel end lubrication level (W1). The shaft (34) enters the wheel end assembly housing (46A) through a shaft opening (49A) which provides a communication path for the lubricant from the wheel end assembly (14A) back into the axle housing (16).
摘要:
The invention relates to a unitary case (7) for a plurality of angular drives (4), which comprises at least one bevel gear step (3) with a first bevel gear (8) and a second bevel gear (9), and which is provided for realizing various angles between a transmission input shaft (E) and a transmission output shaft (A), whereby the second bevel gear can be coupled to the transmission output shaft in an at least indirect rotationally fixed manner. The invention is characterized by the following features: the unitary case is designed for a plurality of the theoretically possible angular outputs with the following features - multiplication i is nearly constant, and the outer diameter of the individual bevel gears is almost identically provided with identical outer dimensions -; in the unitary case, bearing receiving devices are assigned to the transmission output shaft and/or to the second bevel gear; the bearing receiving devices can be formed by the inner contour (21) of the unitary case and/or by the replaceable bearing support elements (22, 32) that are dimensioned for receiving the bearings of the transmission output shaft.
摘要:
A bus with a rear drive unit (5) arranged in a transverse direction has a supercharged in-line multi-cylinder combustion engine (20) which is angled rearwards. The fact that the supercharging unit (30) is positioned in the longitudinal direction in front of the engine makes it possible to limit both the height of the drive unit and its length in the longitudinal direction of the bus. This means that the overhang of the bus rearward of the rear axle (2) is limited and that the space of the overhang can be effectively utilised to absorb a large number of passengers.
摘要:
The invention concerns an offset axle (1) for low-platform town buses and achieves the object of integrating disc brakes in the offset axle system without reducing the vehicle's aisle width in the axle region and obtaining a sufficiently low platform level in spite of the gantry's being lowered significantly owing to design requirements. Disposed eccentrically in the offset axle (1) is a differential (2) of which the axle shafts (4) are each inserted into a drive pinion (5) of a gantry drive (3) with a demultiplication effect, the drive being freely mounted in a self-centring manner between two intermediate pinions (6) which each transmit half the drive power to a spur wheel (7) in order to drive the wheels. Owing to the two gantry drives (3), the axle shafts (4) are lower than the wheel axles by the depth of the gantry. The axle shafts (4) are mounted eccentrically on the upper edge of the interior of the axle bridge housing (8). They are thus adapted in a bevelled way to a recess (9) in the axle bridge housing (8) so that the platform height can be as low as possible. The disc brakes (10) incorporated in the offset axle system are actuated by a pneumatic cylinder (11) via a shift lever (12), the axis of the pneumatic cylinder (11) being placed within a given angular range radially to the brake disc axis.
