<Conventional technology> Anti-rock Break S (Anti-rock Break S) controls the brake hydraulic pressure during brake operation to prevent the wheels from locking and prevent the tires from slipping.
LSD (Lim system) is known, and if one of the left or right rear wheels of the car gets stuck in mud, etc., the driving force is transmitted to the other wheel and the vehicle can escape.
A four-wheel drive vehicle equipped with two mechanisms, ABS and LSD, and electronically controlled by a computer has been proposed.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, there is a need for a mechanism that does not interfere with the operation of the ABS when the ABS is activated. A mechanism that prevents the braking force from the brake from being transmitted to the power unit by providing a clutch for the LSD has been considered, and an LSD clutch for the left and right wheels can be connected to the left and right wheels when the road surface is slippery and low μ.
However, if these two mechanisms were to be controlled electronically, it would be necessary to install sensors for detecting vehicle speed and road surface, and create a program to process them, resulting in a complicated structure. (There is a risk that this may occur.)

In addition, when the front wheels rotate faster than the rear wheels when turning, and a difference in rotational speed occurs between the front and rear wheels, in conventional four-wheel drive vehicles, the driving force of the front wheels is transmitted to the rear wheels (hereinafter referred to as torque). This phenomenon (called circulating torque) causes tight corner braking, where braking force is applied to the front wheels, and there is a risk that stable driving may not be maintained.

Conversely, in order to avoid the tight corner braking phenomenon, it is possible to suppress the circulating torque by setting the transmitted driving force low, but in this case, the high driving force required while driving on rough roads may be suppressed. It is difficult to obtain.

When differential rotation occurs between each housing on the rear wheel side, the front wheel drive shaft, and each pair of rear wheel drive shafts, the rotating housings are On the other hand, the curved blades rotate relative to each other within the space, moving high viscosity fluid, and pressure is generated within the space according to the viscous friction.The generated pressure causes the actuating piston to slide, and the multi-disc clutch is activated. Due to the pressed and frictional engagement, the driving force from the power section is transmitted to the front and rear drive shafts, but there is a difference in the pressure generated within the space due to the forward and reverse rotation directions of the curved blade. The driving force from the front and rear wheel drive shafts is not easily transmitted.

For example, when the car turns right, the left rear wheel drive shaft 35a tends to rotate faster than the right rear wheel drive shaft 35b due to the difference in rotation radius on the rear wheel side. The relative rotation difference between the rear wheel housing 34 and the right rear wheel drive shaft 35b is larger than the relative rotation difference between the rear wheel housing 34 and the right rear wheel drive shaft 35b. In the left rear wheel drive force transmission section 34a, the left rear wheel curved blade 46a shown in FIG. 6 is rotated in the A' direction by the rotational force of the rear wheel housing 340 via the left rear wheel variable speed mechanism 17a.

The high viscosity fluid 47a rotates the left rear wheel curved blade 46a.
By being pushed by the convex curved surface 49a of the left rear wheel curved blade 46a, pressure is generated within the left rear wheel pressure generating means 43a. The pressure generated by the rear wheel pressure generating means 43b is small in proportion to the relative rotation.

The left rear wheel operating piston 45a slides due to the pressure generated within the left rear wheel pressure generating means 43a, and the left rear wheel multi-disc clutch 42a is frictionally engaged, so that the rotational force of the rear wheel housing 34 is used to drive the left rear wheel. The signal is transmitted to the shaft 35a. Similarly, the right rear wheel drive shaft 35b is driven in accordance with the pressure generated by the right rear wheel pressure generating means 43b, so it rotates more slowly than the left rear wheel drive shaft 35a. This allows for smooth turning.

Furthermore, during this right turn, circulating torque is generated on the front wheel side, and a driving force acting as a braking force is input from the front wheel drive shaft 15, but the front wheel curved blade 46 shown in FIG. 3 rotates in the direction B. Therefore, the pressure generated within the front wheel pressure generating means 43 is suppressed. Therefore, the tight corner braking phenomenon can be avoided.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention provides a curved blade having a convex curved surface on the other side and a concave curved surface on the other side in the radial direction and rotational direction in the front and rear wheel housings. Since each ABS was installed on the rear wheel side, an ABS clutch was installed on the rear wheel side to intermittent the driving force transmitted between the front wheel side and the rear wheel side.
It has a simpler structure and is easier to manufacture than an electronically controlled mechanism that uses two mechanisms: a mechanism that does not interfere with the operation of the LSD, and a mechanism that activates the LSD for the left and right wheels when the road surface is low μ. Easy to assemble in the process.

また前輪側においては、循環トルクは抑制可能なので、
タイトコーナーブレーキング現象は回避でき、悪路走行

Also, on the front wheel side, circulating torque can be suppressed, so
Tight corner braking phenomenon can be avoided, and steering stability is maintained when driving on rough roads.
