  • Patent number: 12523261
    Abstract: A disconnect module for engaging/disengaging a first component from a first shaft includes a clutch member rotatably mounted on the first shaft, a drive member axially arranged between the first component and the clutch member and connected to the first component. The clutch member can reciprocate axially to engage/disengage from the drive member. A reset assembly applies pressure to the clutch member towards a disengagement direction for disengaging from the drive member, and an actuator including an action end that can reciprocate axially. A pressing assembly configured to connect the action end with the clutch member, so under the pressure applied by the reset assembly, one reciprocating movement of the action end brings the clutch member from a disengaged state to an engaged state and maintains the engaged state until a next reciprocating movement of the action end brings the clutch member from the engaged state to the disengaged state.
