4、 驅(qū)動(dòng)橋</p><p>　　在學(xué)習(xí)本章之后，你將了解不同類型驅(qū)動(dòng)橋的組成，并能列舉不同種類的驅(qū)動(dòng)橋；比較后橋與前橋的不同之處；描述驅(qū)動(dòng)橋的工作原理。</p><p>　　驅(qū)動(dòng)橋有很多重要作用。它可以使車(chē)輪回正，控制車(chē)輪滾動(dòng)，可以使其中一個(gè)車(chē)輪的轉(zhuǎn)速比另外一個(gè)車(chē)輪快，兩個(gè)車(chē)輪均可獲得轉(zhuǎn)矩。</p><p>　　驅(qū)動(dòng)橋可以獲得來(lái)自于車(chē)輪的反作用力，通過(guò)彈簧，操縱桿

6、橋殼通常是由鋼板模壓件焊接在一起而制成的。橋殼的中心部分是由鑄鋼制成的。有兩種類型的橋殼常被使用：整體式橋殼（應(yīng)用廣泛）和分段式橋殼（應(yīng)用較少）是由兩個(gè)或者更多的部分組成。</p><p><b>　　車(chē)橋</b></p><p>　　兩個(gè)車(chē)橋在橋殼的內(nèi)部，它們?cè)趦?nèi)部相接觸，在某些位置它們是不接觸的。外部的凸出端附在車(chē)輪和輪轂上。內(nèi)部端被花鍵固定在差速器上，外端被滾子

8、用半浮式，大部分貨車(chē)采用全浮式半軸支承。如果半軸折斷，車(chē)輪將停止轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。</p><p><b>　　驅(qū)動(dòng)橋</b></p><p>　　汽車(chē)轉(zhuǎn)彎時(shí)的工況與普通行駛時(shí)的不同，必須使用一個(gè)叫做差速器的單元使兩個(gè)半軸都獲得動(dòng)力，讓左右驅(qū)動(dòng)車(chē)輪的行駛速度不同。</p><p><b>　　差速器</b></p>&l

9、t;p>　　每個(gè)半軸的一側(cè)都有齒輪，兩半軸齒輪可以自由運(yùn)動(dòng)。</p><p>　　可以看到差速器殼，它會(huì)繞著半軸上的齒輪轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。差速器殼上通過(guò)銷(xiāo)連接齒圈和軸。差速器殼體會(huì)隨著差速器轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，傳動(dòng)軸與主動(dòng)齒輪軸相連接。</p><p>　　當(dāng)傳動(dòng)軸使主動(dòng)齒輪軸轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)時(shí)，齒圈也會(huì)隨之轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。齒圈會(huì)繞著差速器殼體和十字軸轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。</p><p><b>　　差速器的運(yùn)

12、軸的轉(zhuǎn)速。相反的運(yùn)動(dòng)形式會(huì)使左側(cè)半軸齒輪的轉(zhuǎn)速降低。差速器的這種運(yùn)動(dòng)形式可以調(diào)節(jié)其自身以及驅(qū)動(dòng)橋的轉(zhuǎn)速變化。如果一個(gè)車(chē)輪開(kāi)始打滑，驅(qū)動(dòng)橋靜止不動(dòng)。差速器殼體繼續(xù)旋轉(zhuǎn)，驅(qū)動(dòng)橋齒輪靜止不動(dòng)， 可以增加驅(qū)動(dòng)橋的轉(zhuǎn)矩。一種有特殊結(jié)構(gòu)的差速器將在后面的章節(jié)做介紹。</p><p>　　差速器殼和差速器殼軸承</p><p>　　一個(gè)質(zhì)量大而且堅(jiān)固的部分被安裝在橋殼內(nèi)，它包括行星齒輪，十字軸和軸承，稱

17、一個(gè)半軸的轉(zhuǎn)速高于另外一個(gè)半軸的轉(zhuǎn)速。轉(zhuǎn)速較慢的半軸可以獲得大部分的轉(zhuǎn)矩。</p><p>　　這種差速器優(yōu)于普通的差速器。當(dāng)?shù)缆饭饣臈l件下，可以提高速度。功率較高的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)通常選用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型差速器。</p><p>　　不同類型的差速器。在彈簧線圈壓力下的錐形離合器。通過(guò)彈簧線圈而使錐形離合器安裝在差速器殼體內(nèi)。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)差速器的運(yùn)動(dòng)，需要使錐形離合器產(chǎn)生滑動(dòng)。如果一個(gè)車(chē)輪產(chǎn)生滑動(dòng)，另外一個(gè)車(chē)

21、gt;　　DRIVE AXLE ASSEMBLIES</p><p>　　After studying this chapter, you will be able to:</p><p>　　■ Explain the construction of different types of drive axle assemblies.</p><p>　　■List

22、 the parts of various drive axles.</p><p>　　■ Compare the differences between a rear wheel and front wheel drive axle assembly.</p><p>　　■Describe the operating principles of </p><p&

23、gt;　　drive axle assemblies.</p><p>　　Drive axle assemblies have several important functions. They must hold the wheels on, keep them upright, allow them to be turned (in front, on four-wheel drive and front-

24、wheel drive vehicles) and propel the wheels forward or backward. They must drive the wheels in such a manner that one can turn faster than the other, yet both must receive torque.</p><p>　　Drive axle assembl

25、ies must absorb the driving force of the wheels, and transmit it to the frame through springs, control rods, etc. The axle assembly provides an anchorage for springs, supports the weight of the vehicle and forms the foun

26、dation upon which the wheel brakes are mounted. Obviously, the axle assemblies must be well constructed, using quality materials.</p><p><b>　　HOUSING</b></p><p>　　The axle housing is

27、 usually made of stamped steel parts welded together. Or, the center section of the housing may be made of cast steel. Two basic types have been used: the BANJO type housing (in wide use) and the SPLIT housing (little us

28、ed) consisting of two or more pieces. </p><p><b>　　AXLES</b></p><p>　　Two steel axles are placed inside the housing. Their inner ends almost touch; and, in some cases, they do touch.

29、 The outer ends protrude out of the housing and form a base upon which the wheels, hubs, etc. are attached. The inner ends are splined and are supported by the differential assembly. The outer ends are supported in rolle

30、r or hall bearings. </p><p>　　ATTACHING WHEEL HUBS</p><p>　　Two methods are employed to securc the wheelhubs to the axle. One emthod employs a taper on the axle end; tile other forms the axle en

31、d into a flange upon which the wheel is bolted. </p><p>　　TYPES OF AXLES</p><p>　　Live axles (axles that turn with the wheels) are of three basic types: full-floating, three-quarter-floating and

32、 semifloating. Most cars utilize the semi floating axle. Most trucks have full-floating axles. If tile axle breaks, tile wheel will not come off. Tile three types .</p><p>　　DRIVING THE AXLES</p><

33、p>　　The real' wheels of a vehicle must turn at different speeds when rounding the slightest corner (outside wheel must roll farther). Therefore, it is necessary to employ a unit called a DIFFEREN FIAL to drive the

34、 axles so both axles receive power, yet they are free to turn at different speeds.</p><p>　　THE DIFFERENTIAL</p><p>　　A splined axle side gear is placed on tile innersplined end of each axle. 1h

35、e axle side gear is sup</p><p>　　ported by the differential case. The side gear is free to turn ill the case.</p><p>　　The differential case may be turned. It will revolve about the axle side ge

36、ars. The differential pinion shaft will turn with the case, bur tile axle side gears will not be driven.</p><p>　　By bolting a large ring gear to the differential case. and connecting it to a ring gear pinio

37、n gear and shaft, it will be possible to turn the case. The propeller shaft will be attached lo the ring gear </p><p>　　pinion shaft.</p><p>　　When the propeller shaft turns the ring gear pinion

38、, the pinion will turn the ring gear. The ring gear, in turn will revolve the differential case and pinion shaft. Tile axle side gears will still NOT TURN. By adding two differential pinion gears (the differential pinion

39、 shaft will pass through these gears) that mesh with the side gears, the revolving case will turn the axle side gears with it. </p><p>　　DIFFERENTIAL ACTION</p><p>　　The propeller shaft turns ti

40、le ring gear pinion shaft. The ring gear pinion turns the ring gear which, in turn, revolves the differential case. When the case turns, the differential pinion shaft turns with it. As the differential pinions are mounte

41、d on this shaft, they are forced to move with the case. Being meshed with the axle side gears, the pinions will pull the axle side gears along with them.</p><p>　　When the car is moving in a straight line, t

42、he ring gear is spinning the case. The differential pinions and axle side gears arc moving around with the case, with no movement between the teeth of the pinions and axle side gears. The entire movement is like a solid

43、unit.When rounding a turn, the case continues whirlingand pulling the pinions around on the shaft. As the outer wheel must turn faster, the outer axle side gear is now moving faster than the inner axle side gear. The whi

44、rIing pinions no</p><p>　　Auto Mechanics Fundamentals</p><p>　　while walking in the axle side gears. This allows them to pull on both axle side gears, while at the same time, compensating for di

45、fference in speed by rotating around their shaft. </p><p>　　You can see detail A, the car is moving in a straight line. The pinion is pulling both gears, but it is not turning. In B, the right side axle gea

46、r is moving faster than the left axle gear. The pinion gear is still moving at the same speed. It is still pulling on both gears, but has now started to turn on the pinion shaft. This turning action, added to the forward

47、 rotational speed of the shaft, has caused the right-hand side gear to speed up and actually begin to pass the pinion shaft. Study Fi</p><p>　　If one wheel begins to slip, the axle on firm ground will stand

48、still. The case continues spinning the pinions, but they will merely walk around the stopped axle gear and impart the torque to the spinning axle. A special traction differential is often used to overcome this tendency.

49、It will be covered later in this chapter.</p><p>　　DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER AND BEARINGS</p><p>　　A heavy and rigid section is bolted to the housing. It contains the pinion gear, shaft, and bearings

50、. This is termed the DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER. Two large bearing holders are provided to support the spinning differential case. These are termed CARRIER BEARINGS. In some applications, the carrier is made as a solid part of

51、 the axle housing.</p><p>　　All the component parts of the axle housing, axles and differential</p><p>　　SPECIAL TRACTION DIFFERENTIAL</p><p>　　To avoid the loss of driving force th

52、at occurs when one wheel begins to slip, special differentials are designed to automatically transfer the torque to the wheel that is not slipping. This enables the car to continue its forward motion. Although there are

53、several variations, all employ the principle of a friction device (clutch plates or a cone clutch) to provide some resistance to normal differential action.</p><p>　　CHRYSLER SURE-GRIP</p><p>　　

54、The Chrysler Sure-Grip differential is basically a standard model, but with several important additions. The axle side gears are driven not by two differential pinions but by four. This requires two separate pinion shaft

55、s.</p><p>　　The two shafts cross, but are free to move in-dependently of each other, The shaft outer ends are not round, but have two flat surfaces that form a shallow V. These ramp-like surfaces engage simi

56、lar ramps cut in the differential case. </p><p>　　A series of four clutch discs are used in back of each axle side gear thrust member. Two of these discs are splined to the differential case, and two are spl

57、ined to the thrust member. The thrust member is splined to the axle. When the thrust members push outward, the clutch discs are forced together, locking the axle to the case. </p><p>　　SURE-GRIP DIFFERENTIAL

58、</p><p>　　OPERATION--BOTH AXLES TURNING AT THE SAME SPEED</p><p>　　When the propeller shaft drives the pinion gear, the torque thrust is transmitted to the ring gear. As the ring gear drives the

59、 differential case, the pinion shafts are </p><p>　　forced to rotate with the case.</p><p>　　The differential pinions encounter resistance when they attempt to turn the axle side gears. This re

60、sistance is transferred to the pinion shafts that aredriving the pinions. As both ends of each pinion shaft are seated in tapered ramps, and since they have some "play" at this point, this forces the shafts to

61、slide up the ramp surfaces. This sliding movement moves bothshafts n an outward direction. As each shaft moves outward, it moves its pinions in the same direction. The pinions press against</p><p>　　AXLES TU

62、RNING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS</p><p>　　When the car turns a corner, the inner shaft slows down. When this happens, the pinion gears will start turning on their shafts. They will walk around the slower shaft and

63、speed up the other shaft. This walking causes the outer shaft to rotate faster than the differenfial case, allowing the </p><p>　　pinion shaft on the outerside to slide down its ramp. This releases the press

64、ure on the outer clutches and lets the differential unit operate much like the standard model. It shows differential action when one axle is moving faster than the other. Note that the slower moving axle is receiving mos

65、t of the torque since it remains clutched to the case.</p><p>　　This type of differential will provide better traction than the standard differential. It is particularly useful when roads are slippery and is

66、 also valuable in producing fast acceleration. A high-powered engine will often cause one wheel to spin during acceleration when using a standard differential.</p><p>　　A somewhat different traction differen

67、tial, uses cone clutches under coil spring pressure. A cross-sectional view is pictured in </p><p>　　Drive Axle Assembiles</p><p>　　The Oldsmobile Anti-Spin differential, uses the pressure of th

68、e coil springs to force the clutch cones into tight engagement with the case. This action tends to lock the axles to the case. In order for differential action to occur, the cones must be forced to slip. If one wheel sli

69、ps, the other will still receive some driving force via the cone. The Positive-Traction differential in functions in a similar manner.</p><p>　　Another positraction differential is illustrated i. Constructio

70、n is similar to that in Figs16-19 and 16-20 except disc clutches are employed instead of cone clutch.</p><p>　　HYPOID GEARING</p><p>　　To facilitate lowering the propeller shaft tunnel in the fl

71、oor of the car, and to allow lowering the body of the car, many ring gear pinion gears enter and drive the ring gear somewhat below the centerline of the axles.</p><p>　　This gearing setup, using a modified

72、spiral bevel gear, is referred to as HYPOID gearing. A special hypoid lubricant is necessary to prevent premature wear due to the sliding, wiping action that takes place between the ring and pinion gear teeth. </p>

73、<p>　　Study the construction used in the pinion shaft assembly. Take note of the two tapered roller bearings used to support the shaft. This type of bearing withstands both radial (forces working at right angles t

74、o the shaft) and longitudinal (lengthwise) thrust.</p><p>　　SPIRAL BEVEL GEARING</p><p>　　Another type of ring and pinion gearing uses the spiral bevel gear. This type of pinion gear meshes with

75、 the ring gear at the axle centerline. The spiral tooth shape allows an overlapping tooth contact that makes for quiet operation, as well as added strength. Before one tooth rolls out of contact with another, a new tooth

76、 contact is made. This distributes the torque load over several teeth. </p><p>　　The cross section, shows the path of the churning lubricant (see arrows). Notice how it is thrown up and forward where it drop
