| 摘要 |
A system for lubricating a differential mechanism includes a housing containing a ring gear, a pinion meshing with the ring gear, a sump containing fluid, and a reservoir that receives fluid flung from the ring gear as the ring gear rotates through the sump fluid, and an orifice restricting the flow rate of fluid from the reservoir. |

1. A system for lubricating a differential, comprising:
a ring gear; a pinion; a sump; a reservoir that receives fluid flung from the ring gear as the ring gear rotates through the fluid; an orifice restricting flow from the reservoir; a mesh between the ring gear and pinion located at an elevation lower than an upper surface of fluid in the sump when fluid is drained from the reservoir into the sump.
