  • Patent number: 11162564
    Abstract: A pendulum-type accessory tensioner includes an elastic unit having a main spring and a sub-spring with different rigidities, in which tension of an accessory belt is kept constant even when different angular velocity variations are applied to the tensioner.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2021
    Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation

  • Patent number: 9726253
    Abstract: A torque filter having an impact spring constant includes a pair of left and right arc springs arranged at left and right sides and having spring constant values set based on a torque of a crank shaft which transfers a driving force of an engine as the torque. An impact spring is disposed in which the pair of the left and right arc springs face each other and has a spring constant value set with a threshold torque based on an instant speed change of the crank shaft.

  • Patent number: 9163713
    Abstract: A crank pulley decoupling device includes: a crank pulley connected to one end of a crankshaft and configured to transmit a rotational force; a first spring configured to be inserted into the crank pulley and to have one end provided in the crank pulley and the other end provided in the crank shaft; and a second spring configured to be inserted into the crank pulley and to be provided on an outer circumferential surface of the crankshaft. Spring design and design change are freely done by utilizing space in the crank pulley while the first and second springs are spaced apart so that impact therebetween is reduced, thereby improving durability and preventing decrease in efficiency due to friction and thus improving the product value.
