Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The torque vectoring device includes a torque vectoring motor, a first sun gear connected to the left drive wheel, a plurality of first planetary gears, a second sun gear, a plurality of second planetary gear formed integrally and coaxially with the first planetary gear, a common carrier to which the torque vectoring motor is connected and which pivotally supports the first and the second planetary gears, a differential ring gear to which the drive torque is inputted, a differential sun gear which is connected to the left drive wheel and a differential carrier which is connected to the second sun gear and at the same time connected to the right drive wheel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A torque vectoring device comprising: a torque vectoring motor; a sun gear connected to the torque vectoring motor; a plurality of planetary gears provided at an outer peripheral side of the sun gear and engaged therewith; a carrier which pivotally supports the plurality of planetary gears; a ring gear provided at an outer peripheral side of the plurality of planetary gears and engaged therewith; and a differential which includes an input member to which a drive torque is inputted, a first output member to which the carrier is connected and at the same time connected to one of a right drive wheel and a left drive wheel, a second output member to which the ring gear is connected and at the same time connected to the other of the right drive wheel and the left drive wheel, wherein the differential absorbs a rotational speed difference between the right drive wheel and the left drive wheel. 2. The torque vectoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the differential comprising a double pinion planetary gear mechanism which includes: a differential sun gear; a plurality of first differential planetary gears provided at an outer peripheral side of the differential sun gear and engaged therewith; a plurality of second differential planetary gears provided at an outer peripheral side of the plurality of first differential planetary gears and engaged therewith; a differential carrier which pivotally supports the plurality of first differential planetary gears and the plurality of second differential planetary gears; and a differential ring gear provided at an outer peripheral side of the second differential planetary gears and engaged therewith; wherein the input member includes the differential ring gear; the first output member includes the differential sun gear; and the second output member includes the differential carrier.
