Power transfer device for four-wheel drive
A power transfer device is described for four-wheel drive in combination with a power transmission having a transmission casing, an input shaft rotatably mounted, an output shaft rotatably mounted, a change-speed gearing mounted on the input and output shafts, and an output gear mounted on the output shaft for rotation therewith. The power transfer device comprises: a transfer casing detachably secured at one side to the transmission casing; a first differential gear unit including an input element in the form of a first gear casing rotatably mounted within the transmission casing and drivingly connected to the output gear, and an air of first output elements rotatably mounted within the first gear casing respectively for front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive; a second differential gear unit arranged coaxially with the first differential gear unit and including a second input member in the form of a second gear casing; a carrier member rotatably mounted within the transfer casing and arranged coaxially with the first and second differential gear units; a first wheel axle drivingly connected at an inner end; a second wheel axle drivingly connected at an inner end with the other second output element of the second differential gear unit and extending outwardly from the transfer casing through the carrier member; a hollow shaft arranged with the second wheel axle; and a clutch sleeve; an output gearing assembled within the transfer casing and arranged to be driven by the carrier member; and means for axially slidably coupling an end of the clutch sleeve with one end of the carrier member in such a manner that the clutch sleeve is positioned relative to the carrier member in a predetermined radial and circumferential direction.
