Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicle clutch systems, and in particular to a vehicle clutch electric control system consisting of an electric control switch and a clutch electric device. Background Art

[0002] At present, many domestic cars and on-site work vehicles are manual transmission. The gear and clutch of manual transmission cars require manual operation to use. A large part of them are controlled through independent clutch control. There is also an automatic clutch system that collects vehicle speed, braking, gear, speed, throttle opening and other signals and has an integrated control computer, display and voice function. Because the vehicle is different, each model is installed with corresponding equipment, which has many advantages.

[0003] The traditional clutch control system has the following disadvantages during use: the clutch control during vehicle driving requires familiarity and high skills, which brings some driving difficulties. In addition, since the clutch pedal has a certain reciprocating stroke and elastic damping, the driver's labor intensity is increased, operating errors are frequent, and it is easy to get tired. The highly integrated automatic clutch system also has the problem that the system cannot accurately control the clutch. For example, if the accelerator pedal is not pressed when reversing, there is a small pothole that cannot be pulled out. When the accelerator is slightly pressed, the car reverses violently at too high a speed. The electronically controlled clutch cannot recognize and do the semi-automatic clutch commonly used in manual transmission. The clutch has obvious jerks during the shifting process of the first, second and third gears, but it is normal when switched to manual mode. If the clutch is adjusted too tight, it is easy to damage the clutch plate, clutch pressure plate, release bearing and other components. If it is adjusted loose, it is easy to report a fault code. After the fault code is reported, the automatic clutch is more difficult to use or cannot be used. The gear lever is sticky when shifting gears. The reason is that the clutch is disengaged too late. The system structure, line installation, and module learning are also complicated. In addition, the market price is high, which is not conducive to meeting the user's needs. For this reason, we propose a vehicle clutch electronic control system composed of an electronic control switch and a clutch electric device. Summary of the invention

[0023] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the outer side wall of the outer electrode contact 5 is covered with a protective cover 6 .

[0024] For example, the protective layer 6 is used to protect the outer electrode contact 5 and prevent the driver's fingers from touching the electric switch.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a switch key 8 is installed on one side of the buzzer 7, and the buzzer 7 is electrically connected to the switch key 8 through an external pole wire 10.

[0026] For example, the switch key 8 is used to disconnect or connect the entire electronic circuit of the electronically controlled switch.

[0027] refer to Figure 5 As shown, a power supply fuse box 18 is installed on one side of the clutch electric device 15, and the power supply fuse box 18 is electrically connected to the electric control switch wire 17.

[0028] For example, the power fuse box 18 protects the entire circuit.

[0029] When in use, when the driver holds the ball head 1 at the top of the gear lever 2 and prepares to perform operations such as shifting gears, the driver presses the outer electrode contact 5 with his fingers, and the outer electrode contact 5 contacts the inner electrode contact 4, so that the circuit of the electric control switch wire 17 is connected, and the buzzer 7 on the circuit emits a prompt sound and connects the drive motor 16 of the clutch electric device. The drive motor 16 runs to drive the vehicle's clutch plug-in push rod 23 to produce a movement to separate the clutch, and the driver can engage the gear, put it into neutral, or increase or decrease the gear. After the gear is engaged, the driver releases the gear lever 2 and the outer electrode contact 5 returns to its original position under its own elastic effect or the elastic force of the elastic compression spring 12. The circuit of the electric control switch wire 17 is disconnected, and the drive motor 16 controls The vehicle clutch is reset to complete the shifting operation. The outer electrode contact 5 and the inner electrode contact 4 are fixed to the gear lever 2 and the ball head 1 by a covering software 3, a ring buckle 13 is wrapped around and fastened, an adhesive 11 is adsorbed, the top is pressed and covered, the ball head 1 is replaced as a whole, or the ball head 1 is hinged to the gear lever 2, etc. The position of the ball head 1 can be changed. The inner electrode contact 4 and the outer electrode contact 5 constitute an electric control switch, and the electromagnetic transmission of wireless signal transmission and reception can be adopted with the clutch electric device 15, eliminating the use of wire connection. There are various installation methods. The connection and disconnection of the electric control switch controls the clutch drive motor 16 to make corresponding mechanical actions; the clutch electric device 15 is installed on the vehicle clutch system and movement and other management modules are set as needed. The driver The electronic switch can be opened and closed individually, in advance, delayed or continuously to control the operation of the clutch and thus control the starting and driving of the vehicle. The switch key 8 is used to disconnect or connect the entire electronic circuit of the electronic switch. The protective layer 6 is used to protect the outer electrode contact 5 and prevent the driver's fingers from touching the electronic switch. The electronic switch is installed around the gear lever 2 and the ball head 1, so that the driver's fingers can easily trigger it when holding the gear lever ball head 1. The installation position and structural form of the ball head 1 are flexible and can meet the requirements of many different models. When used in the assembly and production of new cars, the clutch control device components must be combined to provide the driver with two clutch operation methods. The sensing methods of the electronic switch include capacitance, resistance, inductance, infrared, and displacement that are turned on when in contact and approach. Sensors and other types of switch mechanisms can replace the circuit connection mechanism of the push-type elastic contact, and the effect achieved by using them is the same. According to the different original automobile clutch control systems, the drive motor 16 device can use corresponding steel cable pull wires or hydraulic mechanisms. According to different driver habits, sports, comfort and normal speed management modules can be set, so that the electric device releases the clutch to obtain different speed controls. The conversion switch is freely arranged in the area of ​​the electric device, the electric control switch or the extension line. The power supply can distinguish between positive and negative poles and is directly connected to the vehicle battery, the vehicle fuse box 18 or the control circuit of the start switch. A fuse is set on the positive pole connection line of the power supply. In order to prevent the vehicle from stalling at low speed when in gear, a speed and vehicle speed signal management module can be introduced.The clutch electric device 15 is installed at the hydraulic, vacuum and hydraulic-pneumatic positions of the slave pump position outside the vehicle clutch fork, the oil pipe between the hydraulic slave pump and the master pump, and the hydraulic master pump and pedal area. The steel cable pull type is located at the pull wire connecting the pedal part and the external connection part of the vehicle clutch fork. The principle is to improve the commonality between different vehicles. A buzzer 7 is provided on the wire. When the entire electric control switch is turned on, a sound is emitted to remind the driver. An elastic compression spring 12 is installed in the extended space where the outer electrode contact 5 and the inner electrode contact 4 contact. Its function is to separate the two connection contacts when the driver releases the finger to disconnect the circuit. The oil storage tank 14 stores and fills the hydraulic oil fluid for the clutch electric device 15. By connecting the hydraulic three-way valve 19 in the pipeline of the vehicle hydraulic oil pipe 20, when the clutch electric device 15 is started, the hydraulic oil The plunger mechanism connected to the clutch electric device 15 pushes and pressurizes, and the increased pressure in the hydraulic oil pipe 20 pushes the clutch sub-pump 22 to work, thereby separating the vehicle clutch pressure plate. When the clutch electric device 15 is controlled by the electronic switch to disconnect the power supply, the pressure in the plunger return pipeline disappears, and the clutch sub-pump 22 returns under the action of the clutch elastic diaphragm and the positioning spring, and the vehicle clutch re-engages. Compared with the traditional shifting method, the system is simple, low-cost, highly versatile, flexible and reliable, and realizes automatic clutch integration, solving the problems of complex clutch pedal operation, high driving labor intensity and poor comfort of manual transmission vehicles. The unique continuously variable clutch technology brings accurate vehicle motion control, while retaining the characteristics of fuel saving, economy, free takeover at any time, smooth power output, and manual driving pleasure.
