Publication number: 20240117870Abstract: A locking differential assembly includes a differential case defining an axis of rotation. A lock collar is selectably engageable with a first side gear to selectably prevent the first side gear and a second side gear from rotating relative to the differential case. A coil disposed at an end of the differential case. An armature selectably magnetically actuatable by the coil. An armature position indicator arm rigidly attached to the armature for simultaneous movement with the armature. At least two relay pin assemblies are each connected to the lock collar and connected to the armature to space the lock collar a predetermined distance from the armature for translation parallel to the axis of rotation. A sensor connected to the differential case to detect a proximity of the armature position indicator arm to the sensor and to output an electrically detectable signal indicative of an engagement status of the lock collar.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Rupesh Madhukar SURVE, Aniket Khanderao YADAV

Patent number: 11655887Abstract: A differential including a case (5), a side gear (100,200), a first lock plate (1000) having a first side and a toothed side, and a second lock plate (2000) having a first side facing the case and a toothed second side facing the toothed side of the first lock plate (1000). The differential further includes a cam plate (300) between the side gear (100,200) and the first lock plate (1000) and a clutch pack (40) between the cam plate (300) and the first lock plate (1000). The cam plate (300) includes a splined neck (330) extending towards the first lock plate (1000), and the clutch pack (40) includes at least one active clutch disc (20) internally splined to the splined neck (330).Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Sagar Pratap Tawade, Rupesh Madhukar Surve

Patent number: 11499617Abstract: An electronically locking differential assembly constructed in accordance to the present disclosure includes a differential casing, a first and second side gear, a lock actuation assembly and a lock detect mechanism. The lock actuation mechanism selectively moves between a locked state where the side gears are fixed for concurrent rotation and an unlocked state where the side gears rotate relative to each other. The lock detect mechanism detects whether the lock actuation mechanism is in the locked, unlocked state, and an intermediate position between the locked and unlocked state; then provides feedback to the driver on the state of the lock actuation mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Rupesh Madhukar Surve, Swapnil Shivaji Kadam, Chad Robert Hillman

Patent number: 11041556Abstract: An electronically locking differential assembly constructed in accordance to the present disclosure includes a differential casing, a first and second side gear, a lock actuation assembly and a lock detect mechanism. The first gear defines a first shaft opening configured to provide a first torque transmitting connection with a first output shaft received within the first output shaft opening. The second side gear defines a second output shaft opening configured to provide a second torque transmitting connection with a second output shaft received within the second output shaft opening. The lock actuation mechanism selectively moves between a locked state where the side gears are fixed for concurrent rotation and an unlocked state where the side gears rotate relative to each other. The lock detect mechanism detects whether the lock actuation mechanism is in the locked or unlocked state.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Rupesh Madhukar Surve, Swapnil Shivaji Kadam, Chad Robert Hillman
