Abstract
A power transfer mechanism includes a body (2) on a vehicle; an engine (E) in the body (2) which enables the vehicle to move; a shaft (3) on the body (2) which is activated by the engine (E); a housing (4) containing the shaft (3); and at least one bearing group (5) between the housing (4) wall and the shaft (3) which supports movement of the shaft (3).
Claims8
A power transfer mechanism (1) comprising:
- a body (2) on a vehicle;
- an engine (E) in the body (2) which enables the vehicle to move;
- a shaft (3) on the body (2) which is activated by the engine (E);
- a housing (4) containing the shaft (3);
- at least one bearing group (5) between the housing (4) wall and the shaft (3) which supports movement of the shaft (3);
- a sponge (6) located inside the housing (4) for absorbing and storing a fluid;
- a trigger (7) that triggers and compresses the sponge (6) so that the fluid stored in the sponge (6) reaches the bearing group (5) by the effect of gravity and thereby allowing the bearing group (5) to be cooled and lubricated;
- and
- a shaft wall (401) located in the housing (4) and surrounding the shaft (3) and a housing wall (402) containing the bearing group (5) and located on the housing (4) in connection with the shaft wall (401);
- wherein the sponge (6) is located between the shaft wall (401) and the housing wall (402), in an area between the shaft wall (401) and the housing wall (402), so as to contact the shaft wall (401) and housing wall (402) when compressed.

- and
- at least one bearing (501) located in the bearing group (5) and providing support and at least one outer ring (502) surrounding the bearing (501);
- wherein the trigger (7) contacts the outer ring (502);
- wherein if a temperature of the bearing (501) reaches a threshold value predetermined by the manufacturer in case the lubricating element (8) fails to operate, volume of the trigger (7) is increased, thereby pressing and compressing the sponge (6).

- at least one lubricating element (8) located on the housing (4) for the lubrication of the shaft (3) and/or bearing group (5);
- wherein the sponge (6) retains the fluid previously sent by a user from the lubricating element (8);
- and
- a stopper (10) with a perforated structure which is fixed to limit a movement of the sponge (6) and enables the fluid transferred from the lubricating element (8) towards the bearing group (5) by the effect of gravity to reach the sponge (6).
