Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de transmission qui peut freiner la détérioration du pouvoir lubrifiant d'un palier. Un aspect de la présente divulgation concerne un dispositif de transmission comprenant un mécanisme de transmission, et un carter d'engrenages qui loge le mécanisme de transmission. Le mécanisme de transmission comprend un engrenage d'entrée, un engrenage intermédiaire, une couronne dentée, un premier palier de carter de différentiel, et un second palier de carter de différentiel. Le carter d'engrenages comprend un réservoir récupérateur, un guide qui envoie de l'huile déplacée vers le haut par la couronne dentée vers le réservoir récupérateur, et une partie tampon qui envoie, au second palier de carter de différentiel, une partie de l'huile s'écoulant à travers le guide. La couronne dentée est un engrenage hélicoïdal torsadé configuré pour envoyer l'huile vers le côté premier palier de carter de différentiel le long d'une direction axiale de la couronne dentée lorsque la couronne dentée tourne dans une direction dans laquelle l'huile est déplacée vers le haut vers le guide.
