Technical Field

The invention relates to a clutch disc for a friction clutch of a motor vehicle, such as a passenger car, a truck, a bus or another commercial vehicle, having an input which is rotatable about an axis of rotation and has friction linings, having an output which is also rotatably arranged about the axis of rotation (preferably further connected to a wheel hub), and having a pendulum damper connecting the input and the output, wherein the pendulum damper comprises two parts which are rotatable relative to one another about an axis of rotation within a limited angular range, comprising a flange region interacting with the input and the output, and a plurality of intermediate parts which are mounted in an oscillating manner by means of sliding means in a first flange region and a second flange region, respectively, which, when the first flange region is rotated relative to the second flange region, the intermediate portions are each prevented from movement (relative to the flange area) by spring means. The invention also relates to a friction clutch with the clutch disc.

Background

Generic clutch discs are known from the prior art. For example, DE 102015211899 a1 discloses a rotary vibration absorber which can be used in a clutch disk and which is composed of an input, an output and a spring device.

However, a disadvantage of the embodiments known from the prior art is that the sliding device (Kulisseneinrichtungen) used therein is generally relatively large and expensive to produce. In particular when moving multi-dimensional running rails (running at an angle to one another) in a corresponding sliding device, the flange area and/or the intermediate part must be sufficiently large. This effect is even more pronounced in the case of relatively large rotation angles of the intermediate part/flange region and spring paths of the spring device. In addition, the forces generated on the slide (which act on the roller contact surfaces if rollers are provided in the slide) require that the components of the slide be of sufficient size (e.g., the rollers need to be of a certain diameter) to achieve an acceptable pressure. It is therefore also necessary to form larger-sized openings in the respective parts (along the roller track). This is disadvantageous both with respect to the size of the components and the installation space of the entire assembly. Furthermore, known embodiments often result in inconsistent torque characteristics by implementing multiple curved portions that run transverse to each other. As a result, jerks and sudden movements can act on the components of the sliding device during operation and thus lead to relatively high component loads.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the disadvantages known from the prior art and in particular to provide a clutch disk with a pendulum damper which is compact on the one hand and which exerts as smooth a load as possible on the components during operation on the other hand.

According to the invention, the above task is achieved by: the sliding means are designed and each flange region is operatively connected to the input and the output such that the two flange regions move relative to each other in a single/common fixed direction of movement when the direction of action of the resultant load on the input changes from a first direction of rotation to a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation and when the direction of action changes from the second direction of rotation to the first direction of rotation.

This causes the flange regions to move relative to each other along a linear path. Thus, the components of the pendulum absorber can be manufactured at a lower cost. For example, only linear slides are required in the respective slide. This significantly reduces the loading of the individual components of the pendulum absorber during operation. A sudden/abrupt increase of the load on the component is thus avoided. As a result, the size of each component can be reduced accordingly, and the installation space can be saved, or the entire clutch disc can be designed to have higher performance.

Further advantageous embodiments are claimed by the dependent claims and are explained in more detail below.

With regard to the connection of the pendulum absorber, it is advantageous if the first flange region is rotatable within a first angular range (within a limited range) relative to the input and/or the output. It is therefore likewise advantageous if the second flange region is rotatable within a second angular range relative to the input and/or output. This makes the interface between the pendulum absorber and the respective input and output particularly easy to manufacture. In this case, it is useful if the first and second angular ranges are the same size.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the first flange region has a first stop which is matched to the input (i.e. interacts with a (first) counter-stop of the input) such that when the input is rotated in the first rotational direction it rests against the first stop (first flange region) for rotation therewith and when the input is rotated in the second rotational direction it can be rotated/spaced (within a limited range) relative to the first flange region.

In this case, it is likewise useful if the second flange region has a first stop which is matched to the input (i.e. interacts with a (second) counter-stop of the input opposite the first counter-stop) such that, when the input is rotated in the second direction of rotation, it bears non-rotatably against the first stop (first flange region) for rotation therewith, and, when the input is rotated in the first direction of rotation, it can be rotated/spaced (within a limited range) relative to the second flange region. This makes it particularly easy to establish the connection of the flange region to the input.

It is therefore also advantageous for reception on the output if the first flange region has a second stop matching the output (i.e. interacting with a (first) counter-stop of the output) so that when the output is rotated in the first rotational direction it rests on this second stop for rotation therewith and when the output is rotated in the second rotational direction it can be rotated/spaced (within a limited range) relative to the first flange region.

In this case, it is likewise useful if the second flange region has a second stop which is matched to the output (i.e. interacts with a (second) counter-stop of the output which is opposite to the first counter-stop) such that, when the output is rotated in the second direction of rotation, it bears against the second stop for rotation therewith, and, when the output is rotated in the first direction of rotation, it can be rotated (within a limited range) relative to the second flange region. The respective flange region on the output side is therefore also connected in a specific technology.

Thus, the (first) stop is attached to the first and second flange regions such that the output and the input are in contact with the respective flange regions during rotation in the first rotational direction. The (second) stop is also attached to the first and second flange regions such that the output and input are in contact with the respective flange regions during rotation in the second rotational direction.

The multi-stage torque characteristic of the pendulum absorber can be easily achieved if the spring device has a variable spring rate along its spring path.

In this case, it is also useful if the spring device consists of a spring unit having a plurality of spring elements, preferably arranged parallel to one another, and acting between the intermediate portions.

It is also advantageous if each intermediate part is connected to the first flange region via a first linear guide and to the second flange region via a second linear guide which runs at an angle to the first linear guide.

The invention further relates to a friction clutch for a drive train of a motor vehicle, having a clutch plate according to the invention, serving as a first clutch component according to at least one of the aforementioned embodiments, and a second clutch component which can be connected to the clutch plate by means of friction.

In other words, according to the present invention, a clutch disc with a pendulum damper is achieved, wherein the input flange and the output flange (the first flange region and the second flange region) move relative to each other in only one direction even if the load direction changes. Only a (straight) part of the previous path curve is needed.

Detailed Description

First, referring to fig. 4, the basic structure of the clutch plate 1 according to the present invention is clearly shown. The clutch plate 1 usually has a circular/disc-shaped input 4 and is therefore also referred to as a friction ring. The input 4 is arranged to rotate around the central rotation axis 2. The friction linings 3 are arranged on the input 4, preferably on both axial sides of the input 4 (relative to the axis of rotation 2). The clutch plate 1 in operation is used in a friction clutch, which is not shown here for the sake of clarity. The friction linings 3 interact in a typical manner with the pressure plate and/or counter-pressure plate/pressure element of the friction clutch. During operation, the clutch disk 1 and its output 5 are preferably coupled for rotation with a transmission shaft of a motor vehicle drive train gearbox and thus form a first clutch part of the friction clutch. The second clutch part, which is connected to the first clutch part by a purely frictional connection for the purpose of carrying out a joint rotation in the closed position of the friction clutch and is freely rotatable relative to the first clutch part in the open position of the friction clutch, also has a pressure plate and/or a pressure element.

The input 4 has two stop projections 23 at a radially inner region with respect to the axis of rotation 2. The stop projection 23 forms a first counter-stop 20a and a second counter-stop 20b of the input 4, which can be seen in more detail in fig. 1 to 3. Fig. 4 shows only one (second) counter stop 20b of the input 4. The counter stops 20a, 20b of the input 4 are mounted on lugs 24 which project radially inwards from the friction linings 3. The two counter stops 20a, 20b are arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction of the input 4, i.e. along a circular line running around the axis of rotation 2.

The output 5 is arranged concentrically with the input 4. Thus, the output 5 is also arranged rotatably about the axis of rotation 2. The output 5 is shown as a ring in fig. 4 and preferably forms a hub directly connected to the gearbox shaft for the purpose of effecting a co-rotation during operation. The output portion 5 has a plurality of protrusions 22 that protrude outward in the radial direction. The projection 22 forms a first counter stop 21a and a second counter stop 21b of the output 5, which can be seen in more detail in fig. 1 to 3. The counter stops 21a, 21b are arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction of the output 5, i.e. along a circular line running around the axis of rotation 2.

The input 4 is connected/coupled to the output 5 by a pendulum damper 6. The pendulum damper 6 is generally used to dampen the rotational vibrations that occur during operation, mainly on the drive side 4. The input part 4 can thus rotate, but the rotation is limited by the pendulum damper 6 within a certain (rotational) angular region relative to the output part 5.

In this case, reference is first made to fig. 1. Fig. 1 schematically shows the peripheral region of the clutch plate 1 according to fig. 4, fig. 4 showing an intermediate portion 11 between the first flange region 7 and the second flange region 8. The flange regions 7 and 8 are designed separately from the inlet and outlet 4, 5, so that each flange region forms a single flange part. The input 4 is schematically shown, the reverse stops 20a, 20b pointing in opposite directions in the circumferential direction. The output 5 is also schematically shown with two counter stops 20a, 20b, which point in opposite directions in the circumferential direction. In the pendulum absorber 6, the two flange regions 7, 8 and several intermediate portions 11 are distributed in the circumferential direction. The respective intermediate portion 11 is connected to the first flange region 7 by means of a first slide 9 and to the second flange region 8 by means of a second slide 10. The intermediate portion 11 is thus arranged to be movable relative to the first flange region 7 by the first slide means 9 and relative to the second flange region 8 by the second slide means 10.

The first sliding means 9 have a plurality of first sliding tracks 18, which interact via roller elements 25 movably mounted therein. One first slide 18 is formed directly in the intermediate portion 11, while the other first slide 18 is formed directly in the first flange region 7. The roller elements 25 are inserted into the two first slide rails 18 and thus serve to couple/kinematically couple the first flange region 7 with the intermediate portion 11 along the roller tracks of the roller elements 25 defined by the first slide rails 18. The first sliding means 9 also have a plurality of second sliding tracks 19, which interact via roller elements 25 movably mounted therein. One second slide rail 19 is formed directly in the intermediate portion 11, while the other second slide rail 19 is formed directly in the first flange region 7. The roller elements 25 are used in the two second slide rails 19 and thus for coupling the movement of the first flange region 7 with the intermediate portion 11 along the roller tracks of the roller elements 25 defined by the second slide rails 19. As shown in fig. 5, the second slide 19 in the intermediate portion 11 runs at an angle to the first slide 18.

Similarly, the intermediate portion 11 is kinematically coupled to the second flange region 8 by means of second sliding means 10. The second sliding device 10 has two (third) sliding rails 26, wherein one third sliding rail 26 is inserted into the intermediate part 11 and the other second sliding rail 26 is inserted into the second flange region 8. The roller elements 25 are used in the two third slide rails 26 and thus for kinematically coupling the second flange region 8 with the intermediate portion 11 along the roller tracks of the roller elements 25 defined by the third slide rails 26. The third rail 26 of the intermediate portion 11 runs at an angle to the first rail 18 and the second rail 19 of the intermediate portion 11, respectively.

All the sliding rails 18, 19, 26 move only in a straight line, i.e. they are designed as straight grooves. As is evident from fig. 2, the sliding means 9 and 10 are designed in such a way that the flange regions 7, 8 are again separated or squeezed together in the circumferential direction when the intermediate part 11 moves, i.e. oscillates with the intermediate part 11 in the radial direction and in the circumferential direction.

The intermediate portion 11 is supported by spring means 12 during movement in the radial direction and in the circumferential direction relative to the flange regions 7, 8. Spring means 12 act on each intermediate portion 11. As is apparent from fig. 4, the spring means 12 have a spring unit 15 for each intermediate portion 11. The spring units 15 are distributed in the circumferential direction. One spring unit 15 is arranged between two circumferentially adjacent intermediate portions 11. The spring unit 15 is directly used to support the intermediate portion 11. A first end of the spring element 15 is in contact with the intermediate portion 11 and a second end of the spring element 15, opposite the first end, is in contact with the other intermediate portion 11. The spring unit 15 is clamped between the intermediate parts 11 such that the intermediate parts 11 are pretensioned radially outwards. If the intermediate portion 11 is moved radially inwards by the flange regions 7, 8 rotating relative to each other, the spring unit 15 is compressed, so that the force exerted on the intermediate portion 11 in the radially outward direction is increased. The respective spring unit 15 has a first spring element 16 and a second spring element 17 connected in parallel (or in series) to the first spring element 16. In the present exemplary embodiment, the two spring elements 16 and 17 are designed as helical compression springs. The second spring element 17 is located inside the first spring element 16.

According to the invention, the sliding means 9, 10 are in principle designed such that each flange region 7, 8 is operatively connected to the input 4 and the output 5 in such a way that the two flange regions 7, 8 are moved relative to one another in a single fixed direction of movement when the direction of action of the resultant load acting on the input 4 is changed from a first direction of rotation (in a first circumferential direction) to a second direction of rotation (a second circumferential direction) opposite to the first direction of rotation, and when the direction of action is changed from the second direction of rotation to the first direction of rotation. This can be seen particularly clearly in the partial view of fig. 2.

The first flange region 7 is rotatable in a first angular range relative to the input 4 and the output 5. The second flange region 8 is also rotatable relative to the input 4 and output 5 within a second angular range.

For this purpose, the first flange region 7 has a first stop 13a, which interacts with the inlet 4, namely a first counter stop 20 a. The first stop 13a is formed and the first flange region 7 is basically designed in such a way that, when the input 4 is rotated in the first rotational direction (relative to the output 5), it abuts against the first stop 13a in order to effect a joint rotation, and therefore also rotates the first flange region 7. This can be observed in the left image of fig. 2. At the same time, the first stop 13a and the first flange region 7 are designed in such a way that, when the input 4 is rotated in the second rotational direction (relative to the output 5), i.e. opposite to the first rotational direction, the input 4 is free to rotate relative to the first flange region 7 within a fixed (first) angular range. During the movement in the second rotational direction, the input 4 is in contact with the first stop 13b of the second flange region 8 via a second counter stop 20b, which is opposite the first counter stop 20 a. The first stop 13b of the second flange region 8 is matched to the input 4 in such a way that it can abut against this first stop 13b for the purpose of conjoint rotation when the input 4 is rotated in the second direction of rotation and can be rotated relative to the first flange region 7 when the input 4 is rotated in the first direction of rotation.

The flange regions 7 and 8 thus interact via their second stops 14a, 14b with the counter stops 21a, 21b of the output 5. The second flange region 8 has a second stop 14a, which interacts with the output 5, namely a first counter stop 21 a. The second stop 14a is formed and the second flange region 8 is basically designed in such a way that, when the output 5 is rotated in the first rotational direction (relative to the input 4), it abuts against this second stop 14a to effect a joint rotation, so that the second flange region 8 is also rotated. This can be observed in the right image of fig. 2. At the same time, the second stop 14a and the second flange region 8 are designed in such a way that, when the output 5 is rotated in the second rotational direction (relative to the input 4), i.e. opposite to the first rotational direction, the output 5 is free to rotate relative to the second flange region 8 within a fixed (first) angular range. During the movement in the second rotational direction, the output 5 is in contact with the second stop 14b of the second flange region 8 via a second counter stop 21b, which is opposite the first counter stop 21 a. The second stop 14b of the second flange region 8 is matched to the output 5 in such a way that it can abut against this second stop 14b for the purpose of coupling when the output 5 is rotated in the second direction of rotation and can be rotated relative to the second flange region 8 when rotated in the first direction of rotation.

The respective first and second flange region 7, 8 can thus be rotated in the circumferential direction over a limited angular range relative to the input 4 and output 5, wherein during this relative rotation the spring means 12 have a damping effect on the movement of the intermediate portion 11, so that the load difference between the input 4 and output 5 is reduced/reduced. The spring means 12 is schematically shown in fig. 2 as a force arrow marked FF, which acts on the intermediate portion 11. The force arrow F exerted on the input 4 represents the resultant load acting on the input 4 and rotating the input 4 relative to the output 5.

Fig. 6a shows the torque characteristics of the pendulum absorber 6, i.e. the torque MD as a function of the torsion angle (angular range) phid. Fig. 6b shows the path characteristic of the intermediate part 11 (corresponding to the spring movement), i.e. the displacement sW as a function of the torsion angle (angular range) phid.

In other words, according to the invention, the two flange regions (the first and second flange regions 7, 8) move relative to each other in only one direction, even if the load direction is changed. Only one (straight) section of the curved section of the rail (slide rails 18, 19, 26) is required. One advantage is that the openings (sliding rails 18, 19, 26) in the components (along the curved sides) can be greatly reduced or the pivot angle between the input and output 4, 5 can be relatively increased. This is advantageous with respect to the size of the component or the entire assembly or the performance parameters of the clutch plate. The two movement/load directions do not require the transition regions of the path curves 18, 19, 26. As an example of the intermediate part 11, fig. 5 shows a relatively small opening (space for roller movement) of the curved side faces 18, 19, 26. Another advantage is that the same curved tracks 18, 19, 26 are also used when changing the load direction. At another existing transition point, no discontinuity occurs at the roller bending contact, and therefore no sudden or abrupt loading occurs. Therefore, the torque characteristic also shows a slope at the "transition point". Fig. 4 shows the contact points of the input 4 and the output 5 (to the first flange (first flange portion 7) and to the second flange (second flange portion 8)). Examples thereof include a stopper pin (stopper boss 23) on the input portion 4 and a serration (protrusion 22) of the output portion 5.
