  • Patent number: 9222566
    Abstract: An auto-locking torque distributing mechanism comprises a main plate receiving two gear sets. On two sides of the main plate, slots and apertures are respectively formed near two side peripheries thereof and partially communicated with each other. A sleeve assembly includes a covering unit with an opening enclosed by a first wall whereby each aperture is communicated with the opening and arranged near the first wall while connecting the main plate to the sleeve assembly. When one wheel slips and spins much faster than the other wheel, the sleeve assembly keeps fluid to avoid leaking. By the aforementioned partial communication, the fluid is easily sucked into the aperture to enter the slot and go among the gear sets, thereby limiting the amount of torque sent to the slipping wheel and distributing as much as torque to the non-slipping wheel to keep the traction of the vehicle.

Each nano-scaled graphene sheet has a surface-modified layer formed of a surface modifying agent, which provides hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups used to form chemical bonds with the matrix resin and the filler, thereby greatly improving strength of junction cohesion. The filler helps the graphene sheets to contact each other so as so to increase overall electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Since the graphene sheets are uniformly dispersed in the matrix resin, the composite material of the present invention possesses excellent mechanical property, anti-oxidation, acid-base resistance, high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Therefore, the composite material is suitable for the industries in need of high performance material.

One of the surfaces contacts at least one heat source, and another one is not in contact with the heat source and provided with the graphene dissipation layer, which includes surface-modified graphene nanometer sheets, a carrier resin and a filler. The surface-modified graphene nanometer sheets are well dispersed in the carrier resin, and enhanced to contact each other through the filler to form a thermal conductive network. The ratio of the particle size of the filler and the thickness of the graphene nanometer sheets is about 2 to 100. Therefore, the heat absorbed by the substrate from the heat source is transferred to the graphene dissipation layer, and further dissipated to the outside through thermal conduction or radiation, thereby achieving the function of heat dissipation.
