Thermal ratchet system |
摘要 |
A thermal ratchet system includes a ratchet housing, a ratchet mandrel, a first ratchet, and a second ratchet. The first ratchet is disposed at a position generally fixed with respect to the ratchet housing and is urgeable with respect to the ratchet mandrel in an axial direction by a change in environmental temperature in a first direction. The second ratchet is disposed at a position generally fixed with respect to the ratchet housing and is urgeable with respect to the ratchet mandrel in the axial direction by a change in environmental temperature in a second direction opposite to the first direction. At least one of the first ratchet and the second ratchet is engaged with the ratchet mandrel. |

1. A thermal ratchet system, comprising:
a ratchet housing defining a first locking profile and a second locking profile; a ratchet mandrel; a first ratchet defining a locking profile operably associated with the first locking profile of the ratchet housing and disposed at a position generally fixed with respect to the ratchet housing and urgeable with respect to the ratchet mandrel in an axial direction by a change in environmental temperature in a first direction; and a second ratchet defining a locking profile operably associated with the second locking profile of the ratchet housing and disposed at a position generally fixed with respect to the ratchet housing and urgeable with respect to the ratchet mandrel in the axial direction by a change in environmental temperature in a second direction opposite to the first direction; wherein at least one of the first ratchet and the second ratchet is engaged with the ratchet mandrel. |
