Abstract
The proposed mechanism is to lock the differential. By locking the differential the differential is disengaged from the axle. Thus the power is directly transmitted to the axle and hence to the wheels. This will considerably reduce the power loss in some occasions when unwanted loss is happening due to the transmission if power from the shaft to the differential and then to the axle and hence to the wheels. So in mechanism the unwanted power loss in the due course of transmission through the differential is reduced. There are some drawbacks in the existing mechanism and we overcome it in the proposed project. The first is while climbing in steep hills the differential is not really needed as the speed of the vehicle is low. And also there are some transmission loses in the differential. So at this time the unit is locked and the loss is overcome. Then when a heavy truck is stuck in a pit or mud it is very difficult to recover the truck as the differential unit cuts the power which is to be transmitted to the wheel stuck. So in this project the unit is disengaged and power is directly given to the axle by pneumatic means and so the recovery is made easier. This is even made use in the vehicle to be driven in the dense forests and even in dessert. Also there will be a ratchet mechanism in the input shaft of the differential to prevent the reverse motion of the vehicle at the driver’s will.
