It can also be used for either rear or front drive shafts or in the propeller shaft for distributing torque between the front and rear drive shafts.

The torque is here distributed between the two wheels of a rear shaft provided with a conventional, central differential. Many other uses of a torque vectoring device according to the invention may, however, be envisaged.
In order to obtain the desired result with regard to the driving dynamics, it may in certain driving situations be advantageous to provide a drive wheel with a positive torque or a negative torque in relation to the other drive wheel on the drive shaft. The desired torque difference may be in the order of for example 10 %.
The main object of the invention is to provide a single-sided torque vectoring device with a view to minimize size and cost and to increase modularity.

two sun gears, which are connected - directly or indirectly - to each of two coaxial wheel half-axles, are coaxial, have practically the same diameter, and are provided with the same number of teeth on their circumferences,
coaxial planetary gear sets, each having two planetary gears and being rotatably arranged in a fixed planetary carrier, the two planetary gears in each set having different numbers of teeth in engagement with the teeth of the sun gears, and

Detailed Description of Embodiments
Torque vectoring may be seen as the art of distributing torque to different wheels of a road vehicle - a car. A torque vectoring device may especially be used to distribute torque to each of the two wheels on a front axle and/or a rear axle.
Examples of vehicle architectures with torque vectoring devices are shown in
Figs 1 and 2.
Fig la schematically illustrates a rear wheel drive (RWD) vehicle with an engine 1, a clutch/gearbox 2, and front wheels 4. A propeller shaft 5 transmits torque to a rear differential 6, transmitting torque to the rear wheels 7.
A torque vectoring device 8 according to the invention can, as shown in Fig la, be functionally arranged between the right hand side of the case of the differential 6 and the right half-axle 9 to the right rear wheel 7.
Alternatively, as shown in Fig lb, the torque vectoring device 8 may be arranged to the left of the differential 6 on the left half-axle 9 to the left rear wheel 7.
As a further alternative, as shown in Fig lc, the torque vectoring device 8 in conjunction with a differential may be arranged at either of the two half-axles 10 to the front wheels 4.
The engine 1 is shown as a longitudinal engine but may equally well be a transverse engine.
Examples of the use of a torque vectoring device according to the invention in a front wheel drive (FWD) vehicle are shown in Figs 2a-c. The same reference numerals as in Figs la-c are used. The engine 1 is here depicted as a transverse engine. In Figs 2a and 2b the torque vectoring device 8 is associated with the left and the right half-axle 10, respectively. Fig 2c is meant to illustrate that a torque vectoring device 8 together with a differential may even be placed in the undriven rear axle 9.
Figs 1 and 2 show examples of two wheel drive vehicles, but the use of all wheel drive (A WD) vehicles is increasing. As is well known in the art, one or more AWD-couplings are used in the latter type of vehicles. For the sake of clarity, no such coupling is depicted.
A torque vectoring device according to the invention will now be described with reference to Figs 3 and 4. Fig 3 is a schematical cross-sectional view, whereas Fig 4 is an isometric view of a possible practical embodiment. The same reference numerals are used for like parts in both figures.
As is well known in the art, a typical vehicle differential comprises as its main parts a driven crown wheel connected to a differential case, containing planet gears as
well as sun gears, which in turn are connected to the two drive axles or half-axles to the drive wheels of the vehicle. The differential is contained in a fixed differential housing.
A torque vectoring device according to the invention is functionally placed between the differential case and one of the drive axles.
Shown in Figs 3 and 4 are thus a differential case 15 and a drive axle 16, connected to the differential case via the differential gears therein but rotatable in relation thereto.
A first sun gear 17 is attached to the drive axle 16, and a second sun gear 18 is attached to the differential case 15. The two sun gears 17, 18 have practically the same outer diameter and the same number of teeth on their circumferences. The teeth are preferably helical teeth.
Cooperating with the sun gears 17, 18 are planetary gears 19, 20. One planetary gear set or compound comprises a first planetary gear 19 and a second planetary gear 20 on a common planetary gear shaft 21. There may be six such planetary gear sets equidistantly distributed around the sun gears 17, 18. The planetary gear shafts 21 are rotatably journaled in a fixed planetary carrier 22, which for example may be attached to the differential housing.
Contrary to the sun gears 17, 18, the planetary gears 19 and 20 have a different number of teeth, for example ten teeth on each second planetary gear 19 and eleven teeth on each secondary planetary gear 20 and inversely in the remaining planetary gear sets. (The slight difference is visible in Fig 4, where in the upper gear set planetary gear 19 has ten teeth and planetary gear 20 has eleven teeth, whereas in the lower gear set planetary gear 19 has eleven teeth and planetary gear 20 has ten teeth.)
Each of the second planetary gears 20 is connected to its planetary gear shaft 21, whereas each of the first planetary gears 19 is journaled in relation thereto by means of a radial bearing 23.
Each planetary gear shaft 21 is at its end provided with a limited slip coupling 24, having a hydraulically actuated friction disc package 25. A disc drum 26 having inner discs is connected to the first planetary gear 19, whereas the planetary gear shaft 21 is provided with outer discs in the coupling 24. When the coupling 24 is
hydraulically actuated, the friction disc package 25 is engaged, so that also the first planetary gear 19 is connected to the planetary gear shaft 21 and rotates therewith.
Only the internal, schematic design of the limited slip couplings 24 is shown for the sake of simplicity. For the actuation of the limited slip couplings 24 use may be made of a hydraulic system as disclosed in WO 2011/043722, to which reference is
made. Other systems may equally well be used. Further, electric or other actuation is feasible.
Summarizing: the disclosed torque vectoring device may comprise a number of planetary gear sets 19, 20, for example six gear sets, each with a limited slip coupling 24, two sun gears 17, 18, and a planetary carrier 22. The sun gears 17, 18 have the same number of teeth, whereas the planetary gears in each planetary gear set 19, 20 have different number of teeth but the same centre distance.
One of the sun gears 18 is connected to the differential case 15 and the other 17 to the drive axle 16. Alternatively, the sun gear 18 may be connected to a second axle.
Due to the different teeth number in each planetary gear set 19, 20 a torque vectoring ratio can be obtained. This ratio can be positive or negative depending on the relative position of the planetary gears 19, 20 in the used gear set.
If ten and eleven teeth are used for the planetary gears 19, 20, respectively, a torque vectoring effect of about plus or minus 10 % will be obtained.
If six planetary gear sets 19, 20 are provided, three of them carry load during torque vectoring, when the gears in the respective planetary gear sets are connected via the limited slip couplings 24.
Modifications are possible within the scope of the appended claims.
