Wherein the chamber formed between the dual plate holder 50, the friction plate holder 20 and the inner hub 30 is divided into a piston chamber 61 and a balance chamber 71. Balance plate 70, piston 60 and inner hub 30 form balance chamber 71 therebetween; a piston chamber 61 is formed between the piston 60, the dual-piece carrier 50 and the inner hub 30.
The high-pressure oil passage 41 communicates with the piston chamber 61 through the high-pressure oil hole 32. The low-pressure oil passage 42 and the balance chamber 71 are communicated with each other through the low-pressure oil hole 33 and the L-shaped oil passage 72. The balance chamber 71 communicates with the clutch through the elongated hole 23.
Seal rings 90 are arranged in the three grooves of the oil distribution disc 40, and the seal rings 90 are abutted against the oil distribution disc 40 and the inner hub 30. The two sealing rings 90 at the rightmost side realize the sealing of the high-pressure oil channel 41, and the two sealing rings 90 at the leftmost side realize the sealing of the low-pressure oil channel 42. The intermediate seal 90 also serves to separate the high pressure conduit 41 from the low pressure conduit 42.
The inner end of the piston 60, i.e. the mating surface of the piston 60 and the inner hub 30, is provided with a recess. An O-ring 91 is arranged in the groove and is abutted against the groove of the piston 60 and the outer side surface of the inner hub 30; the outer side surface of the balance plate 70, i.e. the mating surface of the balance plate 70 and the piston 60, is provided with a groove. An O-ring 91 is provided in the groove which abuts against the grooves of the piston 60 and the balance plate 70. The O-rings 91 at these two locations cooperate with the ribs 24 abutting against the inner wall of the friction plate holder 20 so that the balance chamber 71 is in a relatively closed state.
The end surface of the dual-piece bracket 50, which is close to the extension section of the piston 60, namely the matching surface of the dual-piece bracket 50 and the piston 60 is provided with a groove, and an O-shaped ring 91 is arranged in the groove. The O-ring 91, the O-ring 91 between the piston 60 and the inner hub 30, seals the piston chamber 61.
The oil enters the low-pressure oil passage 42, enters the balance chamber 71 through the low-pressure oil hole 33, and fills the balance chamber 71 with the oil. The oil is filled in the balance cavity 71 and then enters the clutch cavity through the L-shaped oil duct 72 and the long hole 23 at the inner side of the friction plate bracket 20 under the rotation action of the clutch, so that the friction plate group is infiltrated, and the lubrication and cooling effects are realized.
The oil enters the high-pressure oil passage 41, enters the piston chamber 61 through the high-pressure oil hole 32, and fills the interior of the piston chamber 61 with oil. The oil liquid generates hydraulic pressure, the piston 60 is extruded, the pretightening force of the disc spring 80 is overcome, the piston 60 is pushed to move leftwards along the axial direction, the hook end of the piston 60 is tightly pressed against the friction plate group, so that after the friction plate 21 is tightly pressed against the dual plate 51, the friction plate is kept relatively static in the rotating process, and the clutch realizes power transmission.
After the oil liquid in the high-pressure oil channel 41 enters, the piston 60 is reset to the right along the axial direction under the pretightening force of the disc spring 80, the friction plate group is not subjected to axial thrust, the friction plate 21 and the dual plate 51 are not pressed and attached, the friction plate 21 and the dual plate 51 independently run, the friction plate and the dual plate keep relative rotation, and the clutch interrupts power transmission.
From the clutch perspective, the input shaft flange 10 and the friction plate bracket 20 can be considered as a whole to realize transmission of the input shaft section; the dual tab bracket 50 and portions of the inner hub 30 may be considered as one piece, enabling transmission of the output shaft section. The two sections have a clearance in a normal state, are independently operated, are in an idling state and are not linked. When power is required to be transmitted through the clutch, the two sections drive the piston 60 to press leftwards through oil, so that the friction plate 21 of the input shaft section and the dual plate 51 of the output shaft section are tightly pressed and attached, and the friction plate 21 and the dual plate 51 are linked, so that power is transmitted. At this time, the clutch transmits power from the input end, the transmitted power is further transmitted through linkage of the two sections, and finally the power is output to the components of the other sections from the output end. The clutch function is realized through the switching of the two states. In the linkage state, severe friction is generated between the friction plate 21 and the pair plate 51, so that oil is needed to be added for lubrication and cooling, thereby reducing the loss generated by friction between the friction plate 21 and the pair plate 51 and ensuring normal linkage.
The piston cavity 61 and the balance cavity 71 are designed below the friction plate group, so that the axial width of the clutch can be greatly reduced, the length of the longitudinally arranged mixing box is effectively reduced, and the weight and cost of the mixing box are reduced. The oil distribution disc 40 integrates high and low pressure oil ways, and the high and low pressure oil ways can be directly led into the clutch from the box body through the oil distribution disc 40, so that the oil way design is simplified, and the processing cost is reduced. The oil distribution disc 40 is arranged on the inner side of the inner hub 30, and the two parts are overlapped in the axial direction, so that the occupation of the axial space of the clutch can be reduced, and the axial size of the clutch can be further reduced. The balance cavity 71 oil duct and the clutch lubricating oil duct are combined through structural design, and the number is reduced by increasing the function of the oil duct, so that the processing cost is reduced. The flange 24 is designed on the friction plate support 20, and a small oil cavity is formed under the centrifugal force action of the friction plate support 20, so that lubricating oil can be effectively prevented from directly flowing away from the right end of the friction plate support 20, and the lubricating efficiency is improved. The clutch input and output are realized through the internal spline and are arranged at the hollow part of the clutch, so that the shafting arrangement is facilitated, the compactness of the mixing box is improved, and the size of the whole box is reduced.
