이와 같이 구성되는 리지드 액슬 타입 디퍼렌셜 기능을 가지는 독립 현가 액슬 타입 디퍼렌셜의 작용 효과는 도 6을 참조하여 그 제어방법을 설명함으로서 명확하게 될 것이다.The effect of the independent suspension axle type differential having the rigid axle type differential function configured as described above will be clarified by explaining the control method with reference to FIG. 6.

차량이 주행하는 도로 상태에 따라 운전자가 선택 스위치(31)를 선택 조작함에 따라 리지드 액슬 타입 모드 또는 독립 현가 타입 모드가 선택된다.The rigid axle type mode or the independent suspension type mode is selected as the driver selects and operates the selection switch 31 according to the road state on which the vehicle runs.

먼저, 리지드 액슬 타입 모드가 선택되면, 유압펌프(33)가 구동되어 유압을 발생시킨다. 이렇게 발생된 유압은 제1, 2 유압실린더(35, 37)에 공급된다.First, when the rigid axle type mode is selected, the hydraulic pump 33 is driven to generate hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic pressure thus generated is supplied to the first and second hydraulic cylinders 35 and 37.

이 유압의 공급에 의하여 제1, 2 유압실린더(35, 37)는 신장되어 제1, 2 등속조인트(27, 29)를 아래로 밀어 일정 각도를 유지하면서 디퍼렌셜 하우징(39)에 고정시키므로 제1, 2 등속조인트(27, 29)의 상하 요동을 구속하게 된다.By supplying the hydraulic pressure, the first and second hydraulic cylinders 35 and 37 are extended to push the first and second constant velocity joints 27 and 29 downward so as to be fixed to the differential housing 39 while maintaining a constant angle. , The up and down fluctuations of the two constant velocity joints 27 and 29 are restrained.

따라서, 제1, 2 등속조인트(27, 29)는 도 5에 도시된 바와 같은 리지드 액슬 타입을 형성하게 되어, 오프로드에서 적재 하중 증가 시에도 높은 지상고를 유지하여 디퍼렌셜(21)과 지상 돌기물(53)의 간섭을 방지시킨다.Accordingly, the first and second constant velocity joints 27 and 29 form a rigid axle type as shown in FIG. 5, and maintain the high ground clearance even when the load is increased in the off-road so that the differential 21 and the ground protrusions are maintained. 53 prevents interference.

한편, 오프로드를 벗어나거나 온로드에서는 운전자가 선택 스위치(31)를 독립 현가 타입 모드로 선택한다.On the other hand, in the off-road or on-road, the driver selects the selection switch 31 in the independent suspension type mode.

이 독립 현가 액슬 타입 모드가 선택되면 유압펌프(33)가 정지되면서, 제1, 2 유압실린더(35, 37)에 공급되었던 유압이 배출된다.When the independent suspension axle type mode is selected, the hydraulic pump 33 is stopped and the hydraulic pressure supplied to the first and second hydraulic cylinders 35 and 37 is discharged.

이 제1, 2 유압실린더(35, 37)에 공급되었던 유압이 배출되면 제1, 2 유압실린더(35, 37)에 가해지던 구속력이 해제된다.When the hydraulic pressure supplied to the first and second hydraulic cylinders 35 and 37 is discharged, the restraining force applied to the first and second hydraulic cylinders 35 and 37 is released.

이로 인하여 제1, 2 등속조인트(27, 29)는 상하 요동 가능한 상태로 제어되어 독립 현가 액슬 타입을 형성하게 되어, 승차감 향상에 기여하게 된다.As a result, the first and second constant velocity joints 27 and 29 are controlled to be able to swing up and down to form an independent suspension axle type, contributing to the improvement of ride comfort.

이와 같이 본 발명에 따른 리지드 액슬 타입 디퍼렌셜 기능을 가지는 독립 현가 액슬 타입 디퍼렌셜은 독립 현가 액슬 타입 디퍼렌셜에 액슬 타입 선택 수단을 구비하여, 종래의 리지드 액슬 타입의 디퍼렌셜에 비하여 평상시에는 독립 현가 액슬 타입을 형성하여 승차감 향상에 기여하고, 종래의 독립 현가 액슬 타입의 디퍼렌셜에 비하여 오프로드 주행 시 등속조인트의 상하 요동을 구속하여 리지드 액슬 타입으로 제어하여 적재 하중 증가 시에도 높은 지상고를 유지하여 디퍼렌셜과 지상 돌기물의 간섭을 방지시킬 수 있다.As described above, the independent suspension axle type differential having the rigid axle type differential function has an axle type selection means in the independent suspension axle type differential, and forms an independent suspension axle type at ordinary times as compared to the conventional rigid axle type differential. By contributing to the improvement of ride comfort, and by restricting the up and down fluctuation of the constant velocity joint during off-road driving compared to the conventional independent suspension axle type differential, it is controlled by the rigid axle type to maintain the high ground height even when the loading load is increased. Interference can be prevented.
