GENERATOR SET HAVING COUPLING MEMBER BETWEEN FLYWHEEL AND GENERATOR
First Claim
1. A generator set comprising:
- an engine;
a flywheel coupled to the engine;
a generator having a housing and a hub portion configured to receive a power from the engine; and
a coupling member coupled to the flywheel and the hub portion within the housing of the generator, the coupling member comprising;
an outer ring member disposed adjacent to the flywheel, and coupled to the flywheel, the outer ring member having a plurality of first teeth extending from an inner surface thereof;
an inner ring member disposed within the outer ring member, and coupled to the hub portion, the inner ring member having a plurality of second teeth extending from an outer surface thereof, wherein each of the plurality of first teeth and each of the plurality of second teeth define a plurality of slots between the outer ring member and the inner ring member; and
a plurality of blocks disposed within each of the plurality of slots,wherein the coupling member is disposed at an axial distance from an inner face of the housing, and wherein the housing comprises one or more access openings to access the coupling member from outside the housing.
