    摘要: A gear apparatus for controlling movement of an output by an input coupled to a power source. The apparatus an input member coupled to the input, an output member coupled to the output and the input member so that movement of the input member causes movement of the output, a selectably releasable member coupled to the input member and the output member, wherein the selectably releasable member remains in a fixed position while the input member and the output member move, and a releasable member brake mechanism coupled to the selectably releasable member, wherein the releasable member brake mechanism is arranged to prevent movement of the selectably releasable member when the input member and the output member move and to allow back driving of the selectably releasable member.

    摘要: A structure of a rotation locking device that is easily configured and capable of keeping cost down is achieved.
    A rotation locking device 4 switches between a first mode where an engaging claw portion 14 engages with an engaging concave portion 9 by an output member 13 rotating an engaging member 8 due to an input member 12 being rotationally driven by an actuator 7, and rotation of a locking gear 5 supported by and fixed to an output shaft 3 of an automatic transmission 2 is restricted, and a second mode where engagement between the engaging claw portion 14 and the engaging concave portion 9 is released and rotation of the locking gear 5 is allowed.

    摘要: A diverter valve includes a diverter valve assembly, a diverter valve transmission assembly, a drive motor and a control device used to control the drive motor. Controlled by the control device, the drive motor drives the diverter valve transmission assembly to perform a transmission action, so as to drive the diverter valve assembly to perform switching actions. The diverter valve transmission assembly is an intermittent gear transmission assembly. Driven by the drive motor, each time the intermittent gear transmission assembly performs the transmission action at least once, the control device controls the drive motor to stop driving. In this way, during the action process, not only the transmission is stable and reliable, the noise is low, but it is also wear-resistant enough under high-frequency use, which can meet the requirements of long-term working consumption of the beverage machine.

    摘要: A phase adjuster assembly configured to adjust a phase between a driving component and a driven component of an internal combustion engine is generally provided. The assembly includes an input gear assembly comprising an input gear configured to engage a driving component, and a spline carrier. An output gear assembly includes an output gear configured to engage a driven component, and a drive plate configured to drivingly engage with the spline carrier. Various components disclosed herein are formed as stamped sheet metal components. Additionally, various connections between adjacent components are provided via relative uncomplicated processes, such as welding.
