Abstract
An energy storage arrangement includes a shaft for transmitting torque, a housing, an actuator configured to be axially moved, a freewheel disposed between the shaft and actuator and fastened to the shaft, the freewheel being configured to transmit no torque in one rotational direction, an energy store configured to store torque, a support element, an outer coupling between the housing and the support element, and an inner coupling between the support element and the shaft.
Claims8
An energy storage arrangement comprising:
- a shaft for transmitting torque;
- a housing;
- an actuator configured to be axially moved;
- a freewheel disposed between the shaft and actuator and fastened to the shaft, the freewheel being configured to transmit no torque in one rotational direction;
- an energy store configured to store torque;
- a support element, wherein the energy store is fastened, on a first energy store side, to the support element and, on a second energy store side, to the actuator;
- an outer coupling between the housing and the support element;
- and
- an inner coupling between the support element and the shaft;
- wherein, by axial displacement, the actuator is configured to come into contact, on a first actuator side, with the housing and, on a second actuator side, with the support element so that, via the actuator, either the shaft is connected to the housing or the shaft is connected to the support element;
- and
- wherein a relative rotation occurs between the actuator and the support element so that, by shifting the inner coupling and the outer coupling and the actuator, torque is charged, discharged or held.
