LIMITING METHOD OF REACTION TORQUE IN POWER TRAIN AND DRIVING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce or limit the reaction torque in the operating state where large inertia force is applied to a driving system part.

SOLUTION: The reaction torque in a power train 74 generated when braking force is applied to a driving wheel in the process of sudden braking such as sudden stop is limited by a control system. The reaction torque generated by the driving wheel 68 is prevented from being transmitted to the upstream through the driving system and the power train 74 by using a slip type clutch 72 limiting the transmission of the reaction wheel torque to the upstream in the driving system. The clutch is directly operated by the reaction torque, whereby special control and a monitoring system for detecting a braking event are not required. The clutch pressure may be automatically adjusted in response to fixed operating state or event, thereby adjusting the point of time when the clutch starts to slip due to reaction wheel torque.
