Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to limited slip differentials and more particularly to a hydraulic control unit that delivers hydraulic fluid to a limited slip differential.
- Differentials are provided on vehicles to permit an outer drive wheel to rotate faster than an inner drive wheel during cornering as both drive wheels continue to receive power from the engine. While differentials are useful in cornering, they can allow vehicles to lose traction, for example, in snow or mud or other slick mediums. If either of the drive wheels loses traction, it will spin at a high rate of speed and the other wheel may not spin at all. To overcome this situation, limited-slip differentials were developed to shift power from the drive wheel that has lost traction and is spinning to the drive wheel that is not spinning.
- Electronically-controlled, limited-slip differentials can include a hydraulically- actuated clutch to limit differential rotation between output shafts of the differential.
- a hydraulic delivery device may be located remote from the differential.

- a hydraulic control unit constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure is shown and generally identified with reference numeral 10.
- the hydraulic control unit 10 according to the present disclosure provides a single unit that can be mounted against or relative to an axle housing 12. The configuration allows for simple assembly and setup.
- the hydraulic control unit 10 can deliver hydraulic fluid to a limited slip differential 14 housed in the axle housing 12 through a hydraulic coupling 20 (FIG. 5).
- the limited slip differential 14 can be an electronic limited slip differential having a clutch 22 and a piston (not specifically shown).
- the limited slip differentiai 14 can operate to drive a pair of axle shafts 30, 32 that are connected to a pair of respective drive wheels (not shown).
- the limited slip differential 14 functions as a traditional open differential during normal operating conditions until an event occurs where a bias torque is required.
- the clutch 22 can be selectively actuated in order to generate the optimum bias ratio for the situation.
- the limited slip differential 14 can further include a differential gear assembly 24 configured in a differential case 26 that acts to allow the axle shafts 30, 32 to rotate at different speeds.
- the differential gear assembly 24 can include a pair of side gears (not specifically shown) that are mounted for rotation with the axle shafts 30 and 32 (and the drive wheels). In an open configuration, described below, the differential gear assembly acts to allow the axle shafts 30 and 32 to rotate at different speeds.
- the clutch 22 couples a drive shaft output with the differential gear assembly 24.
- the clutch 22 can include a clutch pack (not specifically shown) that has a plurality of annular plates interleaved between a plurality of annular friction disks.
- the plurality of annular plates and annular friction disks are interleaved between one another and act to rotate past one another in substantially non-contacting relationship when the clutch 22 is in its open position.
- non-contacting as used herein is relative and is not meant to necessarily indicate that the annular plates and annular friction disks have absolutely no contact when the clutch 22 is in the open condition.
- annular plates and annular friction disks are axially movable into frictional engagement relative to one another, thereby reducing relative rotation between the annular plates and annular friction disks when the clutch 22 is in the closed or partially closed configurations. In this manner, when the clutch 22 is in its closed position, the side gears, as well as the axle shafts and the drive wheels rotate together.
- the clutch 22 can operate in an open configuration to allow the side gears to rotate independently from each other, e.g., at different speeds.
- the clutch 22 can also operate in a closed or partially closed configuration where the side gears rotate together or partially together (that is, not independently), e.g., at substantially the same speed.
- the clutch 22 is a hydraulic clutch that utilizes pressurized hydraulic fluid provided through the hydraulic fluid coupling 20 from the hydraulic control unit 10 to act on the piston to selectively actuate the clutch pack between the open, closed and partially closed configurations.

- the first and second spring rates cooperate together to provide a desired spring rate for the biasing assembly 68.
- fluid is pumped behind the piston 67 into the accumulator chamber 64 to cause the piston 67 to translate toward the first and second biasing members 66A, 66B.

- the operation of the gerotor gear assembly can be conventional where relative rotation of the inner and outer gerotor gears can cause a pumping action on the fluid contained in the hydraulic control unit housing 50.
- the piston pump can cause a pumping action on the fluid contained in the hydraulic control unit housing 50.
- the pumping action ultimately causes the fluid to be pumped into the accumulator chamber 64 (that shares a common space with the sump 69).
- the pumping action ultimately causes the fluid to be pumped into the accumulator chamber 64.
- the biasing members 66A, 66B at least partially collapse and introduces a pre-charge into the system.
