Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of the designs of existing differentials of automotive equipment, as well as the processes of their operation. The analysis carried out in this work made it possible to identify the problem, and then solve it by installing two variators in the differential, which made it possible to divide the power flow supplied to the differential, with the ability to track the moments of adhesion of the wheels to the road by changing the internal gear ratios of the power chains supplied to the right and left wheels, independently of each other. The conducted research made it possible to solve an urgent engineering problem, which consists in the development of an inter-wheel differential with a variable gear ratio, ensuring the optimal nature of the connection between the driving wheels and allowing to increase the patency of automotive equipment, while maintaining other positive operational properties due to the full use of wheel coupling with the road. The article also describes the developed design of a differential with a variable internal gear ratio, presents its kinematic scheme, where you can see how the torque is distributed in proportion to the drag forces on the wheels.In conclusion, the article presents the main conclusions of the work done, which consist in increasing the patency of automotive equipment due to the full use of wheel coupling, especially with wet ground. All this will lead to an increase in the efficiency of automotive equipment, the effectiveness of its use in the field (off-road) and lower fuel costs.
