DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.


One embodiment of the current invention may be described as follows, a casing, gearbox casing with some of it cut off, drilling a hole in the cap, and installed a shaft. The embodiment having a transmission case, shaft, and motor from companies wanting to build them. The present embodiment is a transmission with motor attached, will turn the drive line of a rear end vehicle, or any on road vehicle, and cause it to run forward or backward, with a belt connected to the pully 4 on the transmission, and a pully 4 on the drive line can also be connected the pully 4 on the cars gas motor or engine, after the valves, pistons, ignition and air filter, the inner working parts have been removed, so the car engine acts like a bracket for the electric motor 1 and transmission to secure to. The present embodiment has components that include an electric motor 1, transmission casing 3, and transmission shaft 2. The electric motor 1, the transmission casing 3 and the shaft are arranged. The present embodiment used a Chinese truck rear end differential case, drilled a hole in the top cap, and put a shaft in so it will turn a pully 4. Also the present inventor cut the bottom u-shaped bolts off the bottom of the case.


In reference to FIG. 1-5, the present invention is an electric motor 1 with a belt transmission shaft 2 system. The present invention can also be connected to the pully 4 on a drive line on vehicles. The present invention comprises an electric motor 1, a transmission shaft 2, an prototype transmission casing 3, and a pulley 4. The phrase “prototype transmission casing 3” should be understood to include reference to “adapted transmission casing”. The transmission shaft 2 comprises a plurality of splines 21, a plurality of bearings stops 23, a plurality of bearing stops, a pulley keyway 24, and a threaded end 25. The prototype transmission casing 3 comprises a shaft receiver 31. The electric motor 1 is mechanically connected to the transmission shaft 2. As a result, the electric motor 1 rotates the transmission shaft 2 with torque force. The prototype transmission casing 3 encompasses a portion of the transmission shaft 2. Consequently, the prototype transmission casing 3 secures the transmission shaft 2 in place with an external cap and drilled hole that allows for the transmission shaft 2 to pass through. The pulley 4 is mechanically connected to the terminal end of the transmission shaft 2 opposite the electric motor 1. Accordingly, the transmission shaft 2 rotation causes the pulley 4 to rotate. The transmission shaft 2 being a cylindrical shape. Thus, the transmission shaft 2 facilitates rotational motion. The plurality of splines 21 traverses along the length of the terminal end of the transmission shaft 2. So, the plurality of splines 21 creates a notched surface allowing the electric motor 1 to connect. The plurality of splines 21 mechanically connects the transmission shaft 2 to the electric motor 1.


In reference to FIG. 4, the plurality of bearings stops 23 is positioned along the transmission shaft 2. As a result, the plurality of bearings stops 23 is spaced out along the transmission shaft 2 to connect with the prototype transmission casing 3. The plurality of bearings stops 23 comprises a left and a right bearing. The plurality of bearings stops 23 secures the transmission shaft 2 within the prototype transmission casing 3. Consequently, the plurality of bearings stops 23 secures the transmission shaft 2 along the prototype transmission casing 3. The plurality of bearings stops 23 allows for rotational motion along the transmission shaft 2 central axis. Accordingly, the plurality of bearings stops 23 secures the prototype transmission casing 3 while the transmission shaft 2 rotates.


As seen in FIG. 4, the left bearing is positioned further away from the plurality of splines 21 than the right bearing. The left bearing has a larger diameter than the right bearing. Thus, the left bearing and right bearing fit into the prototype transmission casing 3. The plurality of bearings stops 23 stops is positioned in between the plurality of bearings stops 23. So, the plurality of bearing stops prevents the plurality of bearings stops 23 from shifting on the transmission shaft 2. The plurality of bearing stops comprises a left bearing stop and a right bearing stop. The plurality of bearing stops has a cylindrical shape.


In reference to FIG. 4, the left bearing stop is positioned adjacent to the left bearing. As a result, the left bearing stop secures the left bearing in place. The right bearing stop is positioned adjacent to the right bearing. Consequently, the right bearing stop secures the right bearing in place. The plurality of bearing stops has a larger diameter than the plurality of bearings stops 23. Accordingly, this ensures that the plurality of bearings stops 23 cannot move past the plurality of bearing stops. The right bearing stop has a smaller diameter than the left bearing stop. Thus, the transmission shaft 2 cannot slide out of the prototype transmission casing 3 because the external cap with a drilled hole secures the transmission shaft 2 in place. The pulley keyway 24 is positioned along the terminal end of the transmission shaft 2 opposite the plurality of splines 21. So, the pulley 4 interacts with the transmission shaft 2 away from the electric motor 1. The pulley keyway 24 is not encompassed by the prototype transmission casing 3. As a result, the pulley keyway 24 is positioned on the outside of the prototype transmission casing 3 and can interact with a pulley 4. The threaded end 25 is positioned along the terminal end of the transmission shaft 2 adjacent to the pulley keyway 24. The threaded end 25 receives an external bolt and washer.


As seen in FIG. 2, the shaft receiver 31 receives the transmission shaft 2. The shaft receiver 31 secures the transmission shaft 2 in place while allowing rotational movement. Accordingly, the transmission shaft 2 rotates while positioned within the prototype transmission casing 3. The pulley 4 is received by the pulley keyway 24. Thus, the pulley 4 wraps around the transmission shaft 2. The pulley 4 rotates as the transmission shaft 2 rotates due to the electric motor 1 rotation. So, as the electric motor 1 rotates the transmission shaft 2, the rotational motion is transferred to the pulley 4 attached on the opposite end of the transmission shaft 2.


Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
