Abstract
A flexible and rigid bi-status coupler and its application device related to a mechanical kinetic energy coupler provided with an input side and an output side, wherein, the kinetic transmission feature is related to a flexible acceleration with revolution difference when the rotary kinetic energy is transmitted from the input side to the output side, and the kinetic transmission feature is related to a rigid transmission without revolution difference when the rotary kinetic energy is transmitted back from the output side to the input side.
Claims5
A flexible and rigid bi-status coupler and its application device that transmit the rotary kinetic energy with flexible acceleration with revolution difference from an input side to an output side for the output side to execute non-rigid transmission with revolution difference that varies with the load;
- on the contrary, rigid transmission without revolution difference of rotary kinetic energy is transmitted back from the output side to the input side, essentially comprised of:
- an input side (101):
- containing an axial, wheel, disk, or any other rotary kinetic energy transmission structure to be coupled to one side of a one-way transmission (104) and also coupled to the active rotary part of a flexible transmission (103);
- an output side (102):
- containing an axial, wheel, disk, or any other rotary kinetic energy transmission structure to be coupled to the passive rotary part of a flexible transmission (103) and then couple to the other side of the one-way transmission (104);
- the flexible transmission (103) comprised of an electric vortex coupler, a fluid coupler, or a generation effect coupler, provided with a active rotary part and a passive rotary part to engage in non-rigid rotation kinetic transmission with revolution difference and the transmission varies depending on a load;
- or any other coupler providing the similar function, having its active rotary part coupled to the input side (101), and its passive rotary part coupled to the output side (102) and to one end of the one-way transmission (104);
- and
- the one-way transmission (104) comprised of a conventional one-way clutch, or a transmission that engages in one-way rotary transmission and idling in the other way, having its one end coupled to the input side (101) and the other end, to the passive rotary part of the flexible transmission (103);
- characterized by that:
- by means of the structure as described above, the rotary kinetic energy is transmitted from the input side (101) to the output side (102) through flexible transmission of non-rigid transmission;
- on the contrary, the rotary kinetic energy transmitted back from the output side (102) through the one-way transmission (104) to the input side (101) relates to a rigid transmission without revolution difference.
