What is the working principle of the drivetrain?

[OAvery]

Here is an introduction to the working principles of each sub-assembly of the drivetrain: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Transmission: By changing the gear ratio, the transmission alters the torque of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying requirements for driving wheel traction and speed under different driving conditions, such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles. Generally, automotive transmissions include manual transmissions (MT), automatic transmissions (AT), dual-clutch transmissions (DCT), and continuously variable transmissions (CVT). 3. Driveshaft: The driveshaft assembly consists of an outer universal joint (RF joint), an inner universal joint (VL joint), and a splined shaft. Both the RF joint and VL joint are constant velocity ball-type universal joints. The VL joint is connected to the differential driveshaft flange with bolts, while the RF joint connects to the front wheel via the splined shaft at the end of the outer race. The left and right front wheels are each driven by a constant velocity universal joint driveshaft.
