Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of clutch control mechanisms, and particularly relates to a clutch control mechanism and a vehicle.

Background

An operating device for a friction-disc clutch is known, comprising: a lever actuator; an actuating device for pivoting the lever actuator about a pivot axis in order to apply a force to the friction disk clutch by means of the lever actuator; and a reset device for applying a reset torque to the lever actuator about the tumble axis. Furthermore, a damping device is provided for applying a predetermined damping torque to the lever actuator about the tilting axis. The actuating device has a roller which is arranged between the lever actuator and a rest element and can be moved along the lever actuator in order to change the distance between the rest element and the lever actuator.

In this form of clutch operating device, by operating the actuator, the roller is driven to the right, whereby the distance between the lever actuator and the rest element increases against the resistance of the return device and the right end of the lever actuator is moved slowly upwards. Conversely, if the actuator is no longer controlled, the reset device rapidly drives the roller back to the left and the right end of the lever actuator ceases to operate the clutch. The right end of the lever actuator can be quickly stopped to operate the clutch when the actuator is not controlled. Therefore, the clutch operating device is suitable for a normally open clutch. For normally closed clutches, the clutch is required to be quickly separated when in operation and slowly combined when in stop operation, and obviously, the clutch control device is not suitable for normally closed clutches. In addition, the rotating shaft of the lever actuator is arranged on the same side as the lever actuator, and the right end part of the actuating clutch is arranged on the other side of the lever actuator, so that the driving lever arm is short, the required driving force is large, and the requirement on the motor is high. In addition, since the position needs to be reserved on the lever actuator to provide the reset device and the damping device, the design size of the lever actuator needs to be larger, and the difficulty of spatial arrangement is larger.

In addition, in the existing clutch operating device, the lever actuator can be skewed in the pushing process, so that the horizontal points of the clutch, which are in contact with the release bearing, are stressed unevenly.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

First embodiment

As shown in fig. 1 to 9, a clutch control mechanism according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a release bearing 1, an actuator frame 2, and a driving device. The execution frame 2 comprises a rolling plate 21 and a supporting frame 22 for placing and supporting the release bearing 1, a first end of the supporting frame 22 is connected (fixedly connected or integrally formed) with the rolling plate 21, and a second end of the supporting frame 22 is rotatably connected to the transmission housing through a supporting pin shaft 4. The driving device applies driving force to the executing frame to enable the executing frame 2 to swing around the axis of the supporting pin shaft 4, so that the release bearing 1 is pushed to move towards or away from the clutch, and the engagement or the disengagement of the clutch is controlled.

In the first embodiment, the rolling plate end of the executing frame 2 is a rolling plate 21.

In some alternatives, the rolling plate end of the actuation carriage 2 includes the rolling plate 21 and the transition arcs of the rolling plate 21 and the support frame 22.

In other alternatives, the rolling plate end of the executing frame 2 includes the rolling plate 21, a transition arc surface of the rolling plate 21 and the supporting frame 22, and a part where the supporting frame 22 is connected with the transition arc surface (the part is located on a side of the release bearing 1 away from the supporting pin 4).

The driving device comprises a thrust device 5, a walking device 6 and a walking guide device 7, wherein the walking device 6 is in rolling contact with the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21, the thrust device 5 is used for pushing the walking device 6 to walk along the direction limited by the walking guide device 7 so as to apply driving force to the rolling plate 21, the execution frame 2 is made to swing around the axis of the supporting pin shaft 4, and therefore the release bearing 1 is pushed to move towards the direction close to or far from the clutch so as to control the engagement or the disengagement of the clutch. The supporting pin shaft 4 and the rolling plate 21 are located on two sides of the release bearing 1.

Preferably, the axis direction of the supporting pin shaft 4 is perpendicular to the walking direction of the walking device 6.

Preferably, the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 is a slope or a cambered surface. The friction force when the walking device 6 is in rolling contact with the inclined plane or the cambered surface is smaller, so that the walking device 6 can push the actuating frame 2 more conveniently, and the driving force is saved. In addition, the friction force is changed into rolling friction, so that the friction force is smaller, the energy loss is reduced, and the driving efficiency is improved.

The walking device 6 comprises a retainer 61 and a rolling element 62, the walking guide device 7 comprises a guide plate 71, the guide plate 71 is fixed on a transmission shell or a static part of the thrust device 5, a roller path is arranged on the guide plate 71, the rolling element 62 is rotationally connected on the retainer 61, the top of the rolling element 62 is in contact with the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21, the bottom of the rolling element 62 is positioned in the roller path, the thrust device 5 drives the retainer 61 to move, so that the rolling element 62 rolls along the roller path, and the rolling element 62 applies driving force to the rolling plate end of the execution frame 2. The rolling element 62 is in contact with the highest position of the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 when being located at the first end of the rolling element, the rolling element 62 is in contact with the lowest position of the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 when being located at the second end of the rolling element, or the rolling element 62 is in contact with a position between the lowest position and the highest position of the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 when being located at the second end of the rolling element. When the rolling element 62 rolls from the first end to the second end of the raceway, the execution frame 2 swings around the axis of the supporting pin shaft 4 in the direction away from the guide plate 71 (the included angle between the rolling plate 21 and the guide plate 71 is enlarged); when the rolling element 62 rolls from the second end to the first end of the raceway, the executing frame 2 swings around the axis of the supporting pin 4 in a direction approaching the guide plate 71 (the included angle between the rolling plate 21 and the guide plate 71 is reduced).

The rolling members 62 may be balls, rollers, or the like. The rolling elements 62 are rotatably connected to the holder 61 by means of a rotating shaft, the axis of which passes through the centers of the rolling elements. The raceway functions to limit the right and left offset of the rolling elements and guide the rolling elements 62 to roll linearly. However, if the cage 61 itself is provided with a structure for restricting the rolling elements from shifting left and right, the raceway can be eliminated.

In the rolling direction of the rolling members 62, the rolling members 62 may be arranged in one or more rows, one or more rolling members 62 being provided per row. In this way, the running gear 6 runs more stably.

The thrust device 5 comprises a motor and a lead screw, the lead screw comprises a lead screw connected with a motor shaft of the motor and a lead screw nut 51 in threaded connection with the outside of the lead screw, and the lead screw nut 51 is fixedly connected with or integrally formed with the retainer 61. The stationary part of the thrust unit 5 may be a housing of the motor, or may be an additional housing or mounting bracket 52 (as shown in fig. 6) of the thrust unit 5.

The screw may be, for example, a ball screw.

As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, a pin shaft mounting sleeve 221 is disposed at one end of the supporting frame 22 away from the rolling plate 21, the supporting pin shaft 4 is rotatably inserted into the pin shaft mounting sleeve 221, and two ends of the supporting pin shaft 4 are fixed on the transmission housing. Preferably, the two ends of the supporting pin 4 are fixed to the transmission housing by hinges.

In some alternative embodiments, the supporting pin 4 is press-fitted into the pin mounting sleeve 221, and both ends of the supporting pin 4 are rotatably connected to the transmission housing. For example, the two ends of the support pin 4 are pivotally connected to the transmission housing by hinges or bearings.

As shown in fig. 7 to 9, the clutch control mechanism further includes a supporting element 10 and a release bearing bottom plate 9, the release bearing bottom plate 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the release bearing 1 and is hinged to the supporting frame 22, a hinge axis of the release bearing bottom plate 9 and the supporting frame 22 is parallel to an axis of the supporting pin 4, a claw portion 91 is disposed on a radial outer side of the release bearing bottom plate 9, and a top surface of the supporting element 10 contacts and supports the claw portion 91 of the release bearing bottom plate 9.

In this embodiment, the claw 91 of the release bearing base plate 9 is hinged to the support element 10.

However, in alternative embodiments, it is also possible for other parts of the release bearing bottom plate 9 to be hinged to the support frame 22. Alternatively, the claw 91 of the release bearing base plate 9 is hinged to the support frame 22 at a location other than the support member 10.

The release bearing bottom plate 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the release bearing 1, and the release bearing bottom plate is hinged to the support frame 22, so that the integral structure of the release bearing 1 and the release bearing bottom plate 9 can rotate relative to the support frame 22, and the release bearing 1 can only slide along the guide shaft 8 and cannot rotate around the guide shaft 8.

The middle part of the support frame 22 is provided with a through hole 222, the clutch control mechanism further comprises a guide shaft 8, the guide shaft 8 is inserted into the through hole 222, one end of the guide shaft 8 is fixed on the transmission shell, and the release bearing 1 is sleeved on the guide shaft 8 in an empty mode.

Preferably, a guide shaft base 20 is connected to one end of the guide shaft 8, and the guide shaft base 20 is fixed to the transmission housing by bolts, thereby fixing the guide shaft 8 to the transmission housing.

As shown in fig. 8, the top surface of the supporting member 10 is a curved surface with a high middle and two low sides. Preferably, the support element 10 comprises a support block 101, a first leg 102 and a second leg 103, the top surface of the support block 101 cooperating with the claw 91 of the release bearing base plate 9. The first leg 101 and the second leg 102 are mounted on the support frame 22.

Preferably, the support members 10 are provided in two, two of the support members 10 are located on diametrically opposite sides of the release bearing 1, and two of the claw portions 91 corresponding to the two support members 1010 are provided on a diametrically outer side of the release bearing base plate 9.

The release bearing 1 has a clearance with the guide shaft 8, and the release bearing 1 has a tendency to be skewed with respect to the axis of the guide shaft 8 during rotation of the actuating frame 2 (i.e., the release bearing 1 may be skewed with respect to the axis of the guide shaft 8 during rotation of the actuating frame 2 when the support member 10 is not provided).

By arranging the supporting element 10 and designing the top surface of the supporting element 10 to be an arc surface with a high middle part and two low sides, in the swinging process of the executing frame 2, the release bearing 1 can always move along the axis of the guide shaft 8 in the pushed process through the continuous change of the contact part of the claw part 91 of the release bearing bottom plate 9 and the top surface of the supporting element 10, the deflection of the release bearing 1 caused by the gap between the release bearing 1 and the guide shaft 8 is avoided, and the stress uniformity of each horizontal point of the contact between the clutch and the release bearing 1 is ensured.

The support element 10 can be made of a plastic material with certain elasticity, so that the friction vibration and the friction noise between the actuating frame 2 and the support element 10 and between the support element 10 and the release bearing 1 during the pushing process of the release bearing 1 can be reduced.

The first embodiment operates as follows (taking a thrust device including a motor, a lead screw, and a thrust shaft as an example):

the motor rotates forward to rotate the lead screw in the thrust device 5, the retainer 61 is pushed to drive the rolling member 62 (e.g. roller) to roll forward along the raceway (from the first end to the second end of the raceway), the rolling member 62 pushes the executing frame 2 to rotate upward by contacting the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 of the executing frame 2, taking the supporting pin 4 as a rotating shaft, and then the release bearing 1 is pushed upward to control the clutch to act.

When the motor is switched off, the release bearing 1 moves downwards and pushes the execution frame 2 to rotate downwards by taking the supporting pin shaft 4 as a rotating shaft under the action of the return pressure of the diaphragm spring of the clutch, the rolling piece 62 is pushed to roll to the original position along the rolling way (roll from the second end to the first end of the rolling way) by the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 of the execution frame 2, and the clutch control mechanism restores to the original state to finish the return action of the clutch.

The clutch can be reset by another way, when the return pressure of the diaphragm spring of the clutch is not enough to return the rolling element 62 to the original position, the motor can be reversed to rotate the lead screw in the thrust device 5 reversely, and the rolling element 62 is driven to roll along the roller path to the original position (from the second end to the first end of the roller path) by pulling the retainer 61. The release bearing 1 moves downwards and pushes the execution frame 2 to rotate downwards by taking the supporting pin shaft 4 as a rotating shaft in cooperation with the return pressure of the clutch diaphragm spring, so that the execution frame 2 is restored to the original position, and the reset action of the clutch is completed.

It can be seen that the clutch control mechanism does not need to be provided with a resetting device and a damping device, so that the installation space of the resetting device and the damping device does not need to be reserved on the actuating frame 2, the design size of the actuating frame 2 can be smaller, and the space arrangement is easier.

According to the clutch control mechanism of the first embodiment of the present invention, the first end of the support frame 22 of the actuating frame 2 is connected (integrally formed or fixedly connected) to the rolling plate 21 of the actuating frame 2, the first end of the support frame 22 of the actuating frame 2 is rotatably connected to the transmission housing by the support pin 4, and the thrust device 5 of the driving device pushes the traveling device 6 thereof to travel in the direction defined by the travel guide 7 to apply a driving force to the rolling plate 21, so that the actuating frame 2 swings about the axis of the support pin 4, thereby pushing the release bearing 1 to move in the direction to approach or move away from the clutch to control the engagement or the release of the clutch. In the swinging process of the executing frame 2, the contact part of the claw part 91 of the release bearing bottom plate 9 and the top surface of the supporting element 10 is constantly changed, so that the release bearing 1 can always move along the axis of the guide shaft 8 in the pushing process, the deflection of the release bearing 1 caused by the gap between the release bearing 1 and the guide shaft 8 is avoided, and the uniform stress of each horizontal point of the contact of the clutch and the release bearing 1 is ensured.

In addition, because the supporting pin shaft 4 and the rolling plate end of the executing frame 2 are positioned at two sides of the release bearing 1, the lever force arm is lengthened (the force arm of the driving force applied to the rolling plate end relative to the supporting pin shaft 4 is far larger than the force arm of the axial force of the release bearing 1 relative to the supporting pin shaft 4) so as to achieve the labor-saving effect and ensure that the driving force requirement of the driving device is smaller. For example, when the drive device includes a motor, the requirements for the motor are low.

In addition, the clutch control mechanism pushes the traveling device 6 to travel through the thrust device 5 so as to apply driving force to the rolling plate end of the execution frame 2 and drive the execution frame 2 to swing to control the action of the clutch, has the characteristics of rapid action and mild reset, is very suitable for a normally closed clutch and meets the characteristic requirements of the normally closed clutch that the separation is fast and the combination is slow.

In addition, the execution frame 2 comprises the rolling plate 21 and the supporting frame 22, and the rolling piece 62 is contacted with the bottom surface (cambered surface or inclined surface) of the rolling plate end of the execution frame 2, so that the rolling piece 62 can push the execution frame 2 more conveniently, and the driving force is saved. In addition, the friction force is changed into rolling friction, so that the friction force is smaller, the energy loss is reduced, and the driving efficiency is improved.

The actuating rod and the actuating frame of the clutch operating device in the prior art are replaced by the actuating frame 2, the supporting frame 22 for placing and supporting the release bearing 1 is arranged on the supporting frame 22 of the actuating frame 2, and the supporting frame 22 serves as the actuating rod of the clutch operating device in the prior art, so that the integration degree of a clutch control mechanism is higher, the structure is simpler, and the space arrangement and the weight reduction are easier.

Second embodiment

Fig. 10 shows a clutch control mechanism according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the first embodiment in that the second end of the raceway extends below the bottom surface of the support frame 22, the rolling member 62 contacts the highest portion of the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 when it is at the first end of the raceway, and the rolling member 62 contacts the bottom surface of the support frame 22 when it is at the second end of the raceway. The bottom surface of the supporting frame 22 and the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 are in transition through an arc surface. When the rolling member 62 moves to the inflection point, the speed of the rolling member 62 is kept stable, the motor is controlled (a suitable driving force can be provided), and the clutch is kept engaged.

The arc surface protrudes toward the urging direction of the rolling member 62. The bottom surface of the supporting frame 22 and the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 form an obtuse angle.

In the engaged state of the clutch, the rolling member 62 and the bottom surface of the supporting frame 22 limit each other to provide resistance to the swinging back of the executing frame 2, so that the clutch can still be maintained in the engaged state after the driving force applied to the rolling plate end of the executing frame 2 is released or reduced. In this way, even when the driving force of the driving device is released or reduced in the engaged state of the clutch, the clutch can be maintained in the engaged state, and energy consumption can be reduced.

In the second embodiment, the rolling plate end of the executing frame 2 includes the rolling plate 21, the transition arc surface between the rolling plate 21 and the supporting frame 22, and the part where the supporting frame is connected to the transition arc surface (the part is located on the side of the release bearing 1 away from the supporting pin 4).

Equivalently, on the basis of the first embodiment, the rolling way is lengthened to the bottom surface of the supporting frame 22, so that the rolling member 62 can be pushed to the lower part of the supporting frame 22 of the execution frame 2 by the thrust device 5, and the limit function of the thrust device 5 when the motor is powered off is increased.

When the motor rotates forward, the thrust device 5 is driven to rotate the lead screw in the thrust device 5, the retainer 61 is pushed to drive the rolling member 62 (e.g. roller) to roll forward along the raceway (from the first end to the second end of the raceway), the rolling member 62 pushes the executing frame 2 to rotate upward by contacting the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 of the executing frame 2, the supporting pin shaft 4 serves as a rotating shaft, and the release bearing 1 is pushed upward to control the clutch to act. When the rolling member 62 rolls forward along the raceway to the maximum stroke, i.e., under the support frame 22 of the actuation frame 2 (from the first end to the second end of the raceway), the rolling member 62 is no longer in contact with the rolling plate 21. The rolling members 62 and the bottom surface of the support frame 22 are mutually limited to provide resistance to the swinging back of the executing frame 2. Thus, when the motor is powered off (the motor may not be powered off but the driving force is reduced), the rolling member 62 is not moved to the initial position by the thrust action of the bottom of the rolling plate 21 (or the motor reduces the driving force), but the rolling member 62 limits the rotation of the supporting frame 22 due to the supporting action of the rolling member 62 on the supporting frame 22, so that the clutch does not return to the original position but keeps the current action state, thereby achieving the limiting action on the clutch. When the clutch needs to be reset, the motor is reversed, the lead screw in the thrust device 5 rotates reversely, and the rolling piece 62 is driven to roll to the original position along the roller path (from the second end to the first end of the roller path) by pulling the retainer 61. The release bearing 1 moves downwards and pushes the support frame 22 of the execution frame 2 to rotate downwards by taking the support pin shaft as the center in cooperation with the return pressure of the diaphragm spring of the clutch, so that the execution frame 2 restores to the original position, and the reset action of the clutch is completed.

Third embodiment

Fig. 11 to 15 show a clutch control mechanism according to a third embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the first embodiment in that:

(1) the support element is an arc-shaped convex block 30, the arc-shaped convex block 30 is integrally formed on the top surface of the support frame 22, a limiting hole 301 is formed in the side surface outside the top surface of the arc-shaped convex block 30, a mounting hole 92 is formed in the claw part 91 of the release bearing bottom plate 9, the clutch control mechanism further comprises a clamp spring 40 clamped between the release bearing bottom plate 9 and the release bearing 1, and a clamp pin of the clamp spring 40 is inserted in the mounting hole 92 and the limiting hole 301 to limit axial displacement of the release bearing bottom plate 9 and the release bearing 1. I.e. the release bearing base plate 9 and the release bearing 1 cannot rotate about the guide shaft 8.

(2) The bottom surface of the supporting frame 22 and the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 are transited by an arc surface 23. The bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 is an inclined surface or a cambered surface. The length of the raceway is designed such that the rolling element 62 contacts the highest portion of the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 when it is at the first end of the raceway, and the rolling element 62 contacts the arc surface 23 when it is at the second end of the raceway.

The arc surface 23 protrudes toward the urging direction of the rolling member 62. The bottom surface of the supporting frame 22 and the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 form an obtuse angle.

The rolling member 62 and the arc surface 23 limit each other to provide resistance to the rocking back of the actuation frame 2, so that the clutch can still be maintained in the engaged state after the driving force applied to the rolling plate end of the actuation frame 2 is reduced. In this way, even when the driving force of the driving device is reduced in the engaged state of the clutch, the clutch can be maintained in the engaged state, and energy consumption can be reduced.

In the third embodiment, the rolling plate end of the executing frame 2 comprises a rolling plate 21 and an arc surface 23.

As shown in fig. 11 and 15, in the third embodiment, the claw portion 91 of the release bearing base plate 9 is L-shaped, and the claw portion 91 is attached to the top surface and the outer side surface of the arc-shaped projection 30, so that the area of the attached surface is large. So that the arc-shaped projection 30 can better support the release bearing base plate 9 and the release bearing 1.

When the motor rotates forward, the thrust device 5 is driven to rotate the lead screw in the thrust device 5, the retainer 61 is pushed to drive the rolling member 62 (e.g. roller) to roll forward along the raceway (from the first end to the second end of the raceway), the rolling member 62 pushes the executing frame 2 to rotate upward by contacting the bottom surface of the rolling plate 21 of the executing frame 2, the supporting pin shaft 4 serves as a rotating shaft, and the release bearing 1 is pushed upward to control the clutch to act. When the rolling member 62 rolls forward along the raceway to the maximum stroke (to the second end of the raceway), the rolling member 62 is no longer in contact with the rolling plate 21 (in contact with the arc 23). At this time, the motor is still started but not rotated (the motor does not provide driving force or reduces the driving force), and the cambered surface 23 supports the rolling member 62 to maintain the current position to achieve the limiting effect on the clutch. When the clutch needs to be reset, the motor is reversed, the lead screw in the thrust device 5 rotates reversely, and the rolling piece 62 is driven to roll to the original position along the roller path (from the second end to the first end of the roller path) by pulling the retainer 61. The release bearing 1 moves downwards and pushes the support frame 22 of the execution frame 2 to rotate downwards by taking the support pin shaft 4 as the center in coordination with the return pressure of the diaphragm spring of the clutch, so that the execution frame 2 restores to the original position, and the return action of the clutch is completed.

In addition, in some other embodiments, the thrust device may be a cylinder, and an outer end of a piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the retainer.

In addition, in other embodiments, the thrust device is a hydraulic cylinder, and the outer end of a piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the retainer.

In addition, the embodiment of the invention also provides a vehicle which comprises the clutch control mechanism of the embodiment.
