1. Cable Drive of vehicles driven wheels
2. Problem of growing demand for liquid fuels The project is
aimed at saving fuel in transport. Reduction of 5% is achieved by
using new materials for the drive of drive wheels of motorcycles
with chain drive and all-wheel drive vehicles, for which the
devices driving the drive wheels through the cables made of
high-strength materials such as "kevlar", have been developed and
licensed. First of all, the consumer operating the transport may be
interested in reducing the fuel consumption. At the same time this
is a national and a worldwide major problem. Currently the wheels
drives are made of steel. Aramid fibers such as "kevlar" used in
the cable drives are five times stronger than conventional steel
and four and a half times lighter. Up till now, the drive torque
has not been transmitted by cables. By 2016 the US authorities
demand reducing fuel consumption of the new cars being sold in the
country by 40% to 6.8 liters per 100 km. The costs for upgrading of
one car will make 4333 USD. Cable drive allows you to save 5% of
fuel without increasing the costs. Now reducing of fuel consumption
is mainly achieved due to the reduction of the vehicle weight. The
use of hybrid engines reduces the cost of consumption in transport,
but doubly increases fuel consumption in thermal plants generating
electricity to recharge the batteries.
3. Comparison of torque transmission
4. Cable drives designs
5. Cable drive patents
6. Application for ring cable drive Application PCT/RU
2012/000771 Ring cable drive registered on September 20, 2012, has
positive conclusions of the International Search Authority on
novelty, inventive level and industrial feasibility. The most
widely it is used in motorcycles and bicycles. It is advisable to
obtain national patents in the EU, the USA, China, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia. Patenting in these countries will require 30
000 USD. A company investing in patenting and owning competencies
in license trade is required. 50% of the profit from the sale of
licenses is offered.
7. Cable drive application in transport
8. Market The project works in the old mature market. There is
an annual global market potential of 20 million of new vehicles, 50
million of new motorcycles. Upgrading of already-produced equipment
is also possible. Activities in several areas have been planned.
Sale of licenses for car and motorcycle manufacturers. Engineering
of customized cable drives. Organizing of manufacturing of cable
drives by orders of car and motorcycle manufacturers. Production of
transport vehicles with cable drives of the driven wheels.
9. Costs returning and profit making There is a common practice
of paying up to 10% of innovations. The amount of license fees of
the car manufacturer will be 21 USD per vehicle and 4 USD per
motorcycle. 1. License payments. All the world market of cars and
motorcycles. The maximum payment will be of 600 million USD per
year. In Russia there is a need of about one million crossovers per
year, and the payments will be 21 million USD per year. 2.
Customized engineering of cable drives. car and motorcycle
manufacturers with large output of the machinery may design the
cable drives individually. Therefore engineering of cable drives
may be of interest for small enterprises. 3. Organization of
manufacturing of cable drives by orders of car and motorcycle
manufacturers Mass production of cable drives for manufacturers of
transport equipment may be a very profitable business upon
condition of its early development. One million dollars is required
to organize the manufacturing. 4. Production of transport equipment
with cable drives of driven wheels. A small enterprise may produce
motorcycles, ATVs and buggies in series. An enterprise of full
cycle may cost 10 million dollars. Subject to export of components,
the enterprise may cost 1 million dollars.
10. Competitive advantages The advantage of cable drives
compared to the traditional cables is the reduction of the
transmission weight due to the strength of aramid fibers of "Kevlar
type. Traditional drives have been manufactured for many years, the
manufacturing and operation techniques have been brought to
perfection, which is a strong competitive advantage.
11. Business model Kevlar cables and bearings are purchased
products. Shafts and eccentrics are to be produced. At the first
stage, these components may be manufactured by third party company
with free capacities. Kevlar cable and bearing manufacturers are to
be found. Equipment for manufacturing of shafts and eccentrics are
to be purchased, manufacturing areas are to be leased. As a result,
there will be sets of cable drives for specific models. At the
second stage ATVs with cable drives are to be produced. Wholesale
is planned through specialized stores and through dealers, as the
dealer network will be established.
12. Profit making The company is going to sell licenses for
cable drives in the countries of patent nationalization: Russia,
Germany, and the USA. Wholesale of cable drives and at the second
stage production and maintenance service of the ATVs produced are
foreseen. The price will be determined by the market. The Russian
components will be used for reasonable pricing.
13. Marketing and sales After testing and certification of
prototype models, the licenses for manufacturing of cable drives
will be offered for the manufacturers of cars and motorcycles in
Russia, Germany and the USA. In Russia the supplier of national
four-wheel drive cars is UAZ, manufacturers of motorcycles and ATVs
on the basis of Chinese components: the Russian motors,
manufacturing plant named after Degtiarev, Velomotors. In the old
matured market the techniques of client searching are traditional.
At the first stage the customer retention is traditionally made by
an attractive price. The first year implies the development and
testing of prototype models. The second year implies the
modification of prototype models, production of 25 pcs. of
prototype models of each car and motorcycle , certification
thereof. Commercial manufacturing of cable drives shall be started
by the third year of the enterprise activity.
14. History of the drive The drive of driven wheels of
locomotives through the coupling rod has been used for three
hundred years.
15. Virtual cable drive
16. Ring cable drive of motorcycle
17. Risks and possibilities of cable drive There is no working
prototype, it is in the process of modification after the
pre-testing. The interaction with manufacturers is strongly
complicated due to non-Russian origin of parent companies producing
cars here and supplying the motorcycle components. UAZ factory has
been modifying meanwhile the classic seventy-year old design. The
main risks are psychological, nobody produces such drives. The
project advantages include the simplicity of the project. There are
only three components: eccentrics, cables, bearings. To implement
the project we do not need to purchase any foreign equipment,
everything exists here and now.
18. Moving to mass production To set up the project it is
required: To produce the automobile prototype and modify the
motorcycle prototype. At the first stage to produce the prototypes
2 millions of RUB are required. Development of pre-production
models and certification will take 68 thousand USD. When developing
prototypes and test models, it will be required to place orders at
the enterprise engaged in metalwork cutting and heat treatment
(preferably of automotive industry, but not necessarily) and at the
enterprise producing belts or tires, to manufacture the protected
cables with pre-tension in vulcanization process. To gain not only
import substitution but also the production of transport equipment
for export, manufacturing of four-wheel drive vehicles amphibians
shall be arranged. Using the cable drives on such a car will
simplify its design and reduce its weight. Nowadays, nor here, nor
abroad there are any all-wheel drive amphibians. Such equipment
will be of demand in Russia and abroad for hunters, fishermen, in
forestry and water management, in development of tundra and in the
army.
19. Technical aspect of cable drive Eccentric With eccentricity
of 40 mm the eccentric external diameter is 120 150 mm, with the
half-axle diameter of 30 mm. The bearing external diameter is 150
mm. With the cable groove, the external diameter will be 170 mm.
Weight of the eccentric in assembly with the bearing and groove
will be 2.5 kg. Six assembled eccentrics will weight 15 kg. Cable
The cable will weight 0.3 kg. The cable requires protection from
solar radiation, oils and water. For this purpose it shall be
coated with petrol-and-oil-resistant rubber. It shall be
preliminary stretched with force of 0.7 of tear force, because when
operating it shall not stretch more than 1 %. Such task is to be
resolved by the manufacturers of tires and belts. Bearing
Ultra-light bearing is required. Weight of elements of classic
transmission to the second drive axle Second axle gearbox without
differential gears - 122=24 kg Connection shaft - 14 kg Total
weight - 38 kg.
