Parking lock for vehicle with individually-driven wheels

摘要

Each wheel of the truck is driven by a separate motor close to its hub and coupled to the latter by a gear train. Two or more wheels (1) each have a lock mechanism with a locking wheel (5), which is permanently coupled to the road wheel via the gear train. A catch (6) engaging with it also secures it to a fixed component (2) on the vehicle so that it cannot turn. All catches are coupled by rods to a common control lever actuated by the driver. The lever can be connected to a controller for the motors (7), its different positions selecting forward and reverse movement and the undriven state, in which the catches are engaged.
