Clutch type driving mechanism for hybrid powered vehicle

DRIVE October 2, 2013

A clutch type driving mechanism (10) used in a hybrid powered vehicle is disclosed to include a motor (20), a speed reducing mechanism (40), a hollow shaft (50), an output shaft (60) and first and second one-way clutches (52, 62). The motor (20) provides a rotational kinetic energy through a hollow axle (30) to the speed reducing mechanism (40). The speed reducing mechanism (40) and the output shaft (60) transfer a unidirectional rotary motion to the hollow shaft (50) through the first one-way clutch (52) and the second one-way clutch (62)respectively. Thus, when the output shaft (60) works as a drive shaft, it does not transfer the rotary motion to the speed reducing mechanism (40), avoiding power loss and allowing transfer of the rotational kinetic energy rapidly and efficiently without bearing much load.
