DRIVE AXLE ASSEMBLY WITH VARIABLE OIL FLOW MECHANISM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A MOVEABLE PLATE IN THE SAME

摘要

axle assembly includes a differential gear set with the ring gear. The axle assembly includes an arcuate shield that is disposed adjacent to the transport assembly where the housing and the carrier ring assembly which is connected to the gear housing having a differential gear set . The moving plate is connected to slide smoothly arched shield. Moving plate has a plurality of positions between an open position , a closed position and an open position and a closed position . Closed position is closer to the open position than the ring gear . There arcuate shield and the moving plate is to increase the cooling efficiency of the lubricating oil by reducing the fluctuation of the lubricant . ; Handling assembly housing , the differential gear set , the moving plate
