Technical Field

The present invention relates to a dual clutch assembly, and more particularly, to an auxiliary cover housing which simultaneously restricts the flow of a diaphragm spring in radial and rotational directions and enlarges a contact area with the diaphragm spring in the rotational direction so that the concentricity of the diaphragm spring can be aligned with respect to the center of a disc hub and maintained at a correct position, and uneven wear of a disc due to eccentric contact between a pressure plate and a disc assembly can be prevented.

Background

Generally, a Double Clutch transmission (Double Clutch T/M) having two input shafts needs to transmit power from an engine using a Double Clutch having two Clutch discs. These double clutches require two clutches, and the shifting method also employs double clutch operation, and the double shafts are changed each time one gear is shifted, so that the shifting speed is fast, contributing to reduction of fuel consumption.

In particular, unlike a general wet dual clutch, the dry dual clutch does not use oil, but transmits engine power to the transmission by friction between the clutch discs and the pressure plates. Such a dry dual clutch is disclosed in korean registered patent No. 10-1180599.

Generally, a double clutch (1) is formed by a damper flywheel (3) and a double clutch pack (5), the double clutch comprising: a first diaphragm spring (7) whose outer periphery is buried by an annular housing (13) of the dual clutch group (5), and whose portion other than the outer periphery is exposed to the outside of the annular housing (13) to be coaxially fixed; a cover plate (9) disposed coaxially adjacent to the inside of the first diaphragm spring (7), the outer periphery of the first diaphragm spring (7) being supported by an embossed portion (15), the embossed portion (15) being disposed coaxially adjacent to the inside of the first diaphragm spring (7) and projecting outward from the outer periphery; a second diaphragm spring (11) which is arranged coaxially adjacent to the inner side of the cover plate (9) and pressurizes a first pressure plate (21) of the double clutch group (5); and an annular support member (10) coaxially interposed between an outer periphery of the cover plate (9) and an outer periphery of the second diaphragm spring (11) such that the second diaphragm spring (11) is supported by the cover plate (9).

However, the conventional dual clutch causes a problem in that the shaft center between the clutch and the diaphragm spring is deformed when the diaphragm spring is contracted and restored, and such a mismatch of concentricity causes eccentric contact between the pressure plate and the disc, thereby causing uneven wear of the disc.

The dual clutch assembly of the present invention comprises: a cover case installed to receive a driving force from an engine to rotate; a diaphragm spring mounted to be axially retractable with respect to the cover shell; a center plate installed to be coupled with the cover case and to be idle-rotated with respect to an input shaft of the transmission; an auxiliary cover shell connected with the center plate and forming a supporting point of the diaphragm spring together with the cover shell; a pressure plate installed to be combined with the cover case and to be idly rotatable with respect to an input shaft of a transmission; an auxiliary pressure plate mounted to be combined with the center plate and to be idly rotatable with respect to an input shaft of a transmission; an auxiliary diaphragm spring installed between the auxiliary cover case and the auxiliary pressure plate; a disc assembly mounted between the center plate and the pressure plate and having a disc hub coupled to an input shaft of a transmission, and providing a driving force transmitted through the pressure plate to the input shaft of the transmission; an auxiliary disc assembly installed between the center plate and the auxiliary pressure plate and having a disc hub coupled to an input shaft of a transmission, the driving force transmitted through the auxiliary pressure plate being provided to the input shaft of the transmission; and a stopper structure fixed on the auxiliary cover case to restrict the flow of the diaphragm spring in radial and rotational directions, wherein the stopper structure includes: a main body portion disposed in a space between the auxiliary cover case and the diaphragm spring and fixed to the auxiliary cover case; a mounting part extending from the main body part in a circumferential direction and coupled to the auxiliary cover case; a first protrusion protruding from the body portion in an axial direction toward a slit groove of the diaphragm spring and inserted into an inside of the slit groove to restrict a radial flow; and a second protrusion protruding from the body portion in an axial direction toward a slit groove of the diaphragm spring and inserted into the slit groove to restrict a flow in a rotational direction.

In the present invention, the mounting parts are formed at both ends of the main body part and have through holes for coupling with the auxiliary cover case.

In the present invention, the first protruding portion is configured to be bent to protrude in an axial direction from a central portion of the main body portion, and a free end of the first protruding portion extends horizontally to be in surface contact with an inner circumferential surface of a radially outermost periphery of the cutout groove of the diaphragm spring.

In the present invention, the second projecting portion is located radially inward from the first projecting portion.

In the present invention, the second protrusion includes: a first bent portion bent to protrude in an axial direction from a central portion of the main body portion; and second bent portions that are bent to protrude radially outward from both ends of the first bent portion so as to be in surface contact with inner circumferential surfaces of both circumferential sides of the slit groove of the diaphragm spring, respectively.

In the present invention, the stopper structure is installed in a radially arranged structure with respect to the center of the auxiliary cover case having a first through hole for fastening with the installation part.

In the present invention, the auxiliary limit structure is installed in a radially arranged structure with respect to the center of the auxiliary pressure plate, and the auxiliary cover case has a second through hole for inserting the auxiliary limit structure.

Effects of the invention

Since the dual clutch assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed in the auxiliary cover housing, it is possible to simultaneously restrict the flow of the diaphragm spring in the radial and rotational directions, and thus it is possible to normally align and maintain the concentricity of the diaphragm spring with respect to the center of the hub when compressing and restoring the diaphragm spring according to the operation of the clutch.

In addition, in the present invention, the concentricity of the diaphragm spring with respect to the center of the clutch hub can be aligned and maintained at a correct position, preventing eccentric contact between the pressure plate and the disc assembly, thereby inducing uniform load transfer between the pressure plate and the disc assembly when the clutch is fastened, and improving geometric jitter.

In particular, in the present invention, since the contact between the slit groove of the diaphragm spring and the stopper structure in the radial direction and the rotational direction can be made to increase the area of the contact region by the surface contact, the uneven wear can be improved by the increase of the contact area when the eccentricity occurs due to the external force, and the shortening of the product life can be positively prevented.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the dual clutch assembly according to the present invention includes: the coupling case 100, the cover case 120, the auxiliary cover case 130, the center plate 140, the pressing plate 160, the auxiliary pressing plate 170, the disc assembly 180, the auxiliary disc assembly 190, the diaphragm spring 200, the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210, the spacing structure 220, and the spacing auxiliary structure 230.

The connecting case 100 is directly connected to an output side of the engine to receive driving force generated from the engine. For this, the coupling housing 100 is formed of an annular disk member, and serrations 102 are formed concentrically and uniformly on the entire inner peripheral surface of the central portion, the serrations 102 serving as an engagement portion for power transmission with the engine. In addition, the coupling shell 100 is formed at an edge with a flange portion 104 for coupling with the center plate 140.

The cover case 120 is coupled to the coupling case 100 to rotate about a central axis of the clutch when the engine is started. For this reason, the cover case 120 is formed of an annular disk member having a perforated mounting hole 122 at a central portion to be arranged coaxially with the input shaft of the transmission on the outer side. In addition, the cover case 120 is formed at one side edge with a flange portion 124 for coupling with the pressure plate 160.

The auxiliary cover case 130 is coupled to the center plate 140 to rotate about a central axis of the clutch when the engine is started. To this end, the auxiliary cover case 130 is formed of an annular disk member having a perforated mounting hole 132 at a central portion to be disposed coaxially with the input shaft of the transmission on the outer side. In addition, the auxiliary cover case 130 is formed at one side edge with a flange portion 134 for coupling with the center plate 140. In addition, the auxiliary cover case 130 forms a rear protrusion 136, and the rear protrusion 136 protrudes toward the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 to set a supporting point for the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210.

In addition, the auxiliary cover case 130 has a plurality of first through holes 138 at a radially inner edge of the division type protrusion 137 for fixing the mounting stopper 220 by caulking. In addition, the auxiliary cover case 130 has a plurality of second through holes 139 at the edge to support the free end of the position-limiting auxiliary structure 230. In this case, the first through holes 138 and the second through holes 139 have a structure radially arranged with respect to the center of the cover case 120 and alternate with each other.

The center plate 140 is coupled to the cover case 120 to be able to idle with respect to an input shaft of the transmission located at the center of the clutch when the engine is started. To this end, the center plate 140 is formed of an annular disk member having a perforated mounting hole 142 at a center portion to be arranged coaxially with an input shaft of the transmission on the outer side. In addition, the center plate 140 is formed at a flange portion 144 for coupling with the coupling case 100 at an edge corresponding to the flange portion 104 of the coupling case 100. Further, the center plate 140 is mounted with a bearing (not shown) on an inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 142 for enabling idle rotation of the input shaft of the transmission.

The pressure plate 160 is coupled to the cover case 120 to rotate with respect to the central axis of the clutch when the engine is started. For this, the pressure plate 160 is formed of an annular disk member having a perforated mounting hole 162 at a central portion to be arranged coaxially with the input shaft of the transmission on the outer side. In addition, the pressing plate 160 forms a flange portion 164 for coupling with the cover case 120 at an edge corresponding to the flange portion 124 of the cover case 120.

An auxiliary pressure plate 170 is coupled to the center plate 140 and is capable of idling with respect to an input shaft of the transmission located at the center of the clutch when the engine is started. To this end, the auxiliary pressure plate 170 is formed of an annular disk member having a perforated mounting hole 172 at a central portion thereof to be disposed coaxially with the input shaft of the transmission on the outer side. In addition, the auxiliary pressure plate 170 has a flange portion 174 formed at an edge thereof for coupling with the center plate 140.

In addition, the auxiliary pressure plate 170 is formed at the edge with a plurality of assembly holes 176 for fixedly mounting the position limiting auxiliary structures 230. In this case, the assembly holes 176 are supported by inserting one end of the position-limiting auxiliary structure 230, and thus, are provided in a radial arrangement structure with respect to the center of the auxiliary pressure plate 170.

A disc assembly 180 is mounted between the center plate 140 and the pressure plate 160, and a central portion of the disc assembly 180 is provided with a hub 182 for coupling with any one of the input shafts of the transmission (e.g., a solid input shaft). In addition, the disc assembly 180 is provided at the outer periphery of the hub 182 with damper springs 184, the damper springs 184 serving to absorb sudden changes in the driving force, and between the center plate 140 and the pressure plate 160 with a facing 186 capable of contacting them.

Therefore, when the diaphragm spring 200 contracts, the pressing of the pressing plate 160 is achieved by the axial movement of the cover case 120 and the coupling case 100, and the pad 186 is brought into contact with the center plate 140 by the pressing of the pressing plate 160, whereby the engine driving force is transmitted to the hub 182 of the disc assembly 180 through the pad 186 which is in close contact between the center plate 140 and the pressing plate 160, thereby enabling the input shaft of the transmission to rotate.

An auxiliary disc assembly 190 is mounted between the center plate 140 and the auxiliary pressure plate 170, with a central portion of the auxiliary disc assembly 190 provided with a hub 192 for coupling with any one of the input shafts of the transmission (e.g., a hollow input shaft). In addition, the supplementary disc assembly 190 is provided at the periphery with a pad 194, and the pad 194 is located between and contactable with the central plate 140 and the supplementary pressure plate 170.

Therefore, when the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 contracts, the auxiliary pressure plate 170 is pressurized by the axial movement of the auxiliary cover case 130, the pad 194 is brought into contact with the center plate 140 by the pressurization of the auxiliary pressure plate 170, and thus, the engine driving force is transmitted to the hub 192 of the auxiliary disc assembly 190 through the pad 194 in close contact between the center plate 140 and the auxiliary pressure plate 170, thereby enabling the input shaft of the transmission to rotate.

The diaphragm spring 200 is a plate spring in the form of a washer installed between the cover case 120 and the auxiliary cover case 130, and has a structure of an elastic piece divided into a plurality to form a slit groove 202 radially from a circumferential surface at an edge toward a center portion. In this case, the central portion of the diaphragm spring 200 is formed in the shape of an opening to mount the input shaft of the transmission.

In addition, the diaphragm spring 200 is obliquely contracted and deformed toward the axial direction of the clutch according to the operation of the actuator to achieve an axial displacement with respect to the cover case 120, thereby transmitting the engine driving force through the connection between the center plate 140, the disc assembly 180, and the pressure plate 160.

For this, as shown in fig. 4, the cover case 120 has a protrusion 126 protruding toward the diaphragm spring 200 to form a supporting point of the diaphragm spring 200, and the auxiliary cover case 130 has a division type protrusion 137 protruding toward the diaphragm spring 200 to form a supporting point of the diaphragm spring 200 together with the protrusion 126 of the cover case 120. In this case, the protrusion 126 is formed at an edge closer to the circumferential surface than the division type protrusion 137 based on the radial direction of the diaphragm spring 200.

The auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 is a plate spring in the form of a washer installed between the auxiliary cover case 130 and the auxiliary pressure plate 170, and has a structure of an elastic piece divided into a plurality to radially form a slit groove 212 from a circumferential surface at an edge toward a center portion. In this case, the central portion of the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 is formed in the shape of an opening to mount the input shaft of the transmission.

In addition, the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 is also obliquely contracted and deformed toward the axial direction of the clutch according to the operation of the actuator to achieve an axial displacement with respect to the cover case 120 in the same manner as the diaphragm spring 200, thereby transmitting the engine driving force through the connection between the center plate 140, the auxiliary disc assembly 190, and the pressure plate 170.

For this, as shown in fig. 4, the auxiliary cover case 130 has a back protrusion 136 protruding toward the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 to form a supporting point of the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210, in which case the back protrusion 136 forms a supporting point with respect to the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 at a single position, in more detail, at a position where the supporting point is formed at a radially outer edge with respect to the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210, unlike the protrusion 126 and the division type protrusion 137.

The stopper structure 220 is fixedly installed on the auxiliary cover case 130, and performs a function of simultaneously limiting the flow of the diaphragm spring 200 in the radial and rotational directions. To this end, as shown in fig. 7, the stopper structure 220 includes a body portion 221 and a mounting portion 222, a first protrusion 223 and a second protrusion 224.

The body part 221 is formed of a plate-shaped member that is circumferentially arranged in a space between the auxiliary cover case 130 and the diaphragm spring 200 and is fixed to the auxiliary cover case 130.

The mounting portion 222 is provided to be circumferentially elongated from the body portion 221 to have a through hole 222a for coupling with the auxiliary cover case 130. In this case, it is preferable that the mounting portions 222 are respectively provided at both ends of the body portion 221.

Referring to fig. 5 and 7, the first protrusion 223 axially protrudes from the body portion 221 toward the slit groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200 and is inserted into the inside of the slit groove 202, thereby functioning to restrict the radial flow of the diaphragm spring 200. Specifically, the first projection 223 is bent to axially project from the central portion of the body portion 221, and the free end extends horizontally so as to be in surface contact with the radially outermost inner peripheral surface 204 of the slit groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200. That is, the first protrusion 223 is formed in a planar structure that is enlarged in the axial direction and the radial direction, respectively, to enlarge a contact area with the inner circumferential surface 204 of the radially outermost periphery of the notch groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200, thereby achieving surface contact.

As shown in fig. 5 and 7, the second protrusion 224 is located radially inward of the first protrusion 223, axially protrudes from the body 221 toward the notch groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200, and is inserted into the notch groove 202, thereby functioning to restrict the flow of the diaphragm spring 200 in the rotational direction. In particular, the second protrusion 224 is configured to include: a first bent portion 224a bent to protrude in the axial direction from a central portion of the body portion 221; and second bent portions 224b bent to protrude radially outward from both ends of the first bent portions 224a to be in surface contact with the inner circumferential surfaces 206 of both axial sides of the slit groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200, respectively. That is, the second bent portion 224b is formed in a planar structure that expands in the axial and radial directions, respectively, to enlarge a contact area with the inner circumferential surfaces 206 of both sides in the axial direction of the slit groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200.

In addition, as shown in fig. 6, it is preferable that the limit structures 220 are structures radially arranged with respect to the center of the auxiliary cover case 130, installed to be spaced apart from each other at appropriate intervals. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shapes of the first projection 223 and the second projection 224 may be realized by various types of modified embodiments, and particularly, although the second projection 224 is shown at a position radially inward from the first projection 223, it is not limited thereto.

The position-limiting auxiliary structure 230 is fixed to the auxiliary pressure plate 170, and performs a function of simultaneously limiting the flow of the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 in the radial and rotational directions. For this, as shown in fig. 3, 8 and 9, the auxiliary limit structure 230 is configured such that one end thereof is inserted into the assembly hole 176 of the auxiliary pressure plate 170 to be supported and the other end thereof simultaneously comes into surface contact with the radially outermost inner peripheral surface 214 and the circumferentially both-side inner peripheral surfaces 216 of the notch groove 212 of the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210, respectively. In particular, the free end of the other end of the restraining auxiliary structure 230 is inserted and mounted through the cutout groove 212 of the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 and through the second through-hole 139 formed in the auxiliary cover case 130 to be exposed to the outside, so that more robust mounting can be achieved. In this case, the position limit auxiliary structure 230 may be various shapes such as a structure having a cylindrical shape of a pin shape or a structure having an angular cross section, as long as it is any one of structures having a predetermined length.

Therefore, in the stopper structure 220, the mounting portion 222 of the body portion 221 is riveted to the first through hole 138 of the auxiliary cover case 130 and firmly fixed, so that the first protrusion 223 can effectively suppress the radial flow of the diaphragm spring 200 by surface-contacting the inner peripheral surface 204 of the radially outermost periphery of the cutout groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200, and the second protrusions 224 can effectively suppress the flow of the diaphragm spring 200 in the rotational direction by surface-contacting the inner peripheral surfaces 206 of both circumferential sides of the cutout groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200, respectively.

In this case, the first protrusions 223 of the position restricting structure 220 are in surface contact with the radially outermost peripheral inner circumferential surface 204 of the cutout groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200, and the second protrusions 224 are in surface contact with the circumferentially both side inner circumferential surfaces 206 of the cutout groove 202 of the diaphragm spring 200, respectively, so that by enlarging the area of each contact portion to effectively restrict the flow of the diaphragm spring 200 in the radial and rotational directions with respect to the auxiliary cover case 130 at the same time, the concentricity of the diaphragm spring 200 with respect to the center of each of the hubs 182 and 192 can be continued in a state of being aligned in the correct position, so that the eccentric contact occurring between the pressure plate 160 and the disc assembly 180 can be prevented, and uniform load transfer can be guided between the pressure plate 160 and the disc assembly 180 when the clutch is fastened, thereby improving geometrical shaking and remarkably extending the life span of the product.

In addition, one end of the position restricting auxiliary structure 230 is inserted into and supported by the assembly hole 176 of the auxiliary pressure plate 170 and is in surface contact with the inner peripheral surface 214 of the radially outermost periphery of the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 and the inner peripheral surface 216 on both sides in the circumferential direction, respectively, and the free end of the other end is inserted into and supported by the second through hole 139 of the auxiliary cover case 130, thereby effectively suppressing the flow of the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210 in both the radial and rotational directions.

Even in this case, the position restricting auxiliary structure 230, like the position restricting structure 220, can maintain concentricity at a correct position with respect to the auxiliary diaphragm spring 210, so that it is possible to prevent eccentric contact from occurring between the auxiliary pressure plate 170 and the auxiliary disc assembly 190 and to guide uniform load transfer between the auxiliary pressure plate 170 and the auxiliary disc assembly 190 when the clutch is fastened.
