Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle structure, and in particular to an installation structure for a clutch controller. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, the clutch controller of a motorcycle occupies a large space, which causes the clutch part to protrude from the outside of the vehicle body, resulting in a non-compact vehicle structure and an unsightly body shape.

[0003] For example, a "motorcycle clutch control device" disclosed in Chinese patent literature, publication number CN2876429Y, consists of a linear motor and sensing elements. The linear motor is connected to the engine housing, and the sensing elements include an induction magnet and a displacement sensor. The linear motor has a screw shaft in the middle, with an induction magnet at one end and the other end in contact with the clutch push rod in the engine housing. The top of the screw shaft has a concave arc shape to ensure close contact with the clutch push rod. The linear motor housing has a displacement sensor at the position corresponding to the induction magnet, and the displacement sensor and linear motor are connected to a microcomputer control system. The drawback of this patent is that its control structure is installed in the axial direction of the clutch, occupying the space in the axial direction of the clutch. This causes the entire clutch structure to protrude from the motorcycle body, resulting in a non-compact body structure and an unattractive appearance. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1, as Figure 1-3 As shown, a clutch controller mounting structure includes a clutch body 1 and a clutch cover 2. The clutch body 1 includes a clutch push rod 3. The outer side of the clutch cover 2 is perpendicular to the clutch push rod 3 and covers one end of the clutch push rod 3. The clutch cover 2 is provided with a release rod mounting port, which is a channel in the radial direction of the clutch, connecting the side of the clutch cover 2 and the center of the clutch cover 2.

[0024] A clutch control structure is installed below the clutch housing 2. The clutch control structure includes a control shaft 5 and a controller housing 6. The control shaft 5 is perpendicular to and meshes with the release lever 4. A transmission component 7 is mounted on the release lever 4. The transmission component 7 can be keyed, integrally formed, or otherwise fixedly connected to the release lever 4. The transmission component 7 includes a fan-shaped transmission part and a transmission mounting part. The fan-shaped transmission part has a transmission surface that meshes with the control shaft 5. The fan-shaped transmission part includes a radial surface and an arc-shaped transmission surface. The arc of the transmission surface is less than 180°, and transmission teeth are provided on the transmission surface. There are two radial surfaces, located on opposite sides of the transmission surface. The control shaft 5 is perpendicular to the clutch push rod 3.

[0025] The controller housing 6 has a transmission cavity 8 inside, and the transmission component 7 is located inside the transmission cavity 8. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the transmission cavity 8 is also fan-shaped, and the angle of the fan is less than 180°. The transmission cavity 8 has two limiting surfaces, and the radial surface of the transmission component 7 can fit into the limiting surfaces during rotation. A flexible buffer pad is installed on the limiting surfaces.

[0026] The controller housing 6 is equipped with controller mounting screws 9, which pass through the controller housing 6 and are fixed to the clutch cover 2. In this embodiment, the lower side of the clutch cover 2 is provided with three studs, each stud having an internal thread, and the upper part of the controller housing 6 is provided with three screw mounting holes corresponding to the positions of the studs, in which the controller mounting screws 9 are installed.

[0027] A connecting structure is also installed between the clutch control structure and the clutch housing 2. The connecting structure includes an adjusting mounting base 10, which is fixed to the controller housing 6 by four adjusting mounting screws 11. Of the four adjusting mounting screws 11, two are centrally symmetrical with respect to the axis of the release lever 4.

[0028] The release lever 4 includes a first lever body 12 located inside the clutch housing 2 and a second lever body 13 located inside the controller housing 6. A release lever 4 bearing is installed between the release lever 4 and the release lever mounting port. The release lever 4 bearing includes a first bearing 14 located between the first lever body 12 and the clutch housing 2, and a second bearing 15 located between the second lever body 13 and the controller housing 6. In this embodiment, there are two first bearings 14. The first lever body 12 and the second lever body 13 are connected by a coupling 16. The coupling 16 has an inner coupling hole on its inner side, and circumferentially arranged coupling teeth on the inner coupling hole. The outer ends of the first lever body 12 and the second lever body 13 are each provided with a coupling portion adapted to the inner coupling hole, and axially arranged coupling teeth are provided on the outer side of the coupling portion. The transmission teeth on the inner coupling hole mesh with the transmission teeth on the coupling portion. After the inner coupling hole and the coupling portion are axially moved and combined, circumferential limiting and transmission are achieved through the coupling teeth.

[0029] During operation, the control shaft 5 of the clutch controller rotates. Because the control shaft 5 meshes with the transmission surface on the transmission component 7, the control shaft 5 drives the transmission component 7 to oscillate. The amplitude of this oscillation is determined by the rotation of the control shaft 5 and is limited by the limiting surface in the transmission cavity 8. If the oscillation amplitude is too large, the radial surface of the transmission component 7 will abut against the buffer pad on the limiting surface. Since the transmission component 7 and the upper rod of the release lever 4 are fixedly connected, when the transmission component 7 oscillates, it also drives the release lever 4 to rotate. The release lever 4 meshes with the main shaft, and when the release lever 4 rotates, it also drives the main shaft to rotate, thus achieving clutch control.

[0030] Example 2: A mounting structure for a clutch controller includes a clutch body 1 and a clutch cover 2. The clutch body 1 includes a clutch push rod 3. The outer side of the clutch cover 2 is perpendicular to the clutch push rod 3 and covers one end of the clutch push rod 3. The clutch cover 2 has a release rod mounting opening, which is a channel in the radial direction of the clutch, connecting the side of the clutch cover 2 and the center of the clutch cover 2.

[0031] A clutch control structure is installed below the clutch housing 2. The clutch control structure includes a control shaft 5 and a controller housing 6. The control shaft 5 is perpendicular to and meshes with the release lever 4. A transmission component 7 is installed on the release lever 4. The transmission component 7 can be keyed, integrally formed, or otherwise fixedly connected to the release lever 4. The transmission component 7 includes a fan-shaped transmission part and a transmission mounting part. The fan-shaped transmission part has a transmission surface that meshes with the control shaft 5. The fan-shaped transmission part includes a radial surface and an arc-shaped transmission surface. The arc of the transmission surface is less than 180°, and transmission teeth are provided on the transmission surface. There are two radial surfaces, located on opposite sides of the transmission surface. In this embodiment, the angle between the control shaft 5 and the outer side of the clutch housing 2 is 40°. This tilted design allows the clutch controller to occupy more suitable space in the longitudinal and lateral directions of the horizontal plane, reducing the likelihood of interference with other structures.

[0032] The controller housing 6 has a transmission cavity 8 inside, and the transmission component 7 is located inside the transmission cavity 8. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the transmission cavity 8 is also fan-shaped, and the angle of the fan is less than 180°. The transmission cavity 8 has two limiting surfaces, and the radial surface of the transmission component 7 can fit into the limiting surfaces during rotation. A flexible buffer pad is installed on the limiting surfaces.

[0033] The controller housing 6 is equipped with controller mounting screws 9, which pass through the controller housing 6 and are fixed to the clutch cover 2. In this embodiment, the lower side of the clutch cover 2 is provided with three studs, each stud having an internal thread, and the upper part of the controller housing 6 is provided with three screw mounting holes corresponding to the positions of the studs, in which the controller mounting screws 9 are installed.

[0034] A connecting structure is also installed between the clutch control structure and the clutch housing 2. The connecting structure includes an adjusting mounting base 10, which is fixed to the controller housing 6 by four adjusting mounting screws 11. Of the four adjusting mounting screws 11, two are centrally symmetrical with respect to the axis of the release lever 4.

[0035] The release lever 4 includes a first lever body 12 located inside the clutch housing 2 and a second lever body 13 located inside the controller housing 6. A release lever 4 bearing is installed between the release lever 4 and the release lever mounting port. The release lever 4 bearing includes a first bearing 14 located between the first lever body 12 and the clutch housing 2, and a second bearing 15 located between the second lever body 13 and the controller housing 6. In this embodiment, there are two first bearings 14. The first lever body 12 and the second lever body 13 are connected by a coupling 16. The coupling 16 has an inner coupling hole on its inner side, and circumferentially arranged coupling teeth on the inner coupling hole. The outer ends of the first lever body 12 and the second lever body 13 are each provided with a coupling portion adapted to the inner coupling hole, and axially arranged coupling teeth are provided on the outer side of the coupling portion. The transmission teeth on the inner coupling hole mesh with the transmission teeth on the coupling portion. After the inner coupling hole and the coupling portion are axially moved and combined, circumferential limiting and transmission are achieved through the coupling teeth.

[0036] During operation, the control shaft 5 of the clutch controller rotates. Because the control shaft 5 meshes with the transmission surface on the transmission component 7, the control shaft 5 drives the transmission component 7 to oscillate. The amplitude of this oscillation is determined by the rotation of the control shaft 5 and is limited by the limiting surface in the transmission cavity 8. If the oscillation amplitude is too large, the radial surface of the transmission component 7 will abut against the buffer pad on the limiting surface. Since the transmission component 7 and the upper rod of the release lever 4 are fixedly connected, when the transmission component 7 oscillates, it also drives the release lever 4 to rotate. The release lever 4 meshes with the main shaft, and when the release lever 4 rotates, it also drives the main shaft to rotate, thus achieving clutch control.

[0037] Example 3, as Figure 4 As shown, a clutch controller mounting structure includes a clutch body 1 and a clutch cover 2. The clutch body 1 includes a clutch push rod 3. The outer side of the clutch cover 2 is perpendicular to the clutch push rod 3 and covers one end of the clutch push rod 3. The clutch cover 2 is provided with a release rod mounting port, which is a channel in the radial direction of the clutch, connecting the side of the clutch cover 2 and the center of the clutch cover 2.

[0038] A clutch control structure is installed below the clutch housing 2. The clutch control structure includes a control shaft 5 and a controller housing 6. The control shaft 5 is perpendicular to and meshes with the release lever 4. A transmission component 7 is installed on the release lever 4. The transmission component 7 and the release lever 4 can be connected by a key, integral molding, or other fixed connection methods. The transmission component 7 includes a fan-shaped transmission part and a transmission mounting part. The fan-shaped transmission part has a transmission surface that meshes with the control shaft 5. The fan-shaped transmission part includes a radial surface and an arc-shaped transmission surface. The arc of the transmission surface is less than 180°, and transmission teeth are provided on the transmission surface. There are two radial surfaces, located on opposite sides of the transmission surface. The control shaft 5 is perpendicular to the clutch push rod 3. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, there is a 30° angle between the release lever and the vertical direction.

[0039] The controller housing 6 has a transmission cavity 8 inside, and the transmission component 7 is located inside the transmission cavity 8. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the transmission cavity 8 is also fan-shaped, and the angle of the fan is less than 180°. The transmission cavity 8 has two limiting surfaces, and the radial surface of the transmission component 7 can fit into the limiting surfaces during rotation. A flexible buffer pad is installed on the limiting surfaces.

[0040] The controller housing 6 is equipped with controller mounting screws 9, which pass through the controller housing 6 and are fixed to the clutch cover 2. In this embodiment, the lower side of the clutch cover 2 is provided with three studs, each stud having an internal thread, and the upper part of the controller housing 6 is provided with three screw mounting holes corresponding to the positions of the studs, in which the controller mounting screws 9 are installed.

[0041] A connecting structure is also installed between the clutch control structure and the clutch housing 2. The connecting structure includes an adjusting mounting base 10, which is fixed to the controller housing 6 by four adjusting mounting screws 11. Of the four adjusting mounting screws 11, two are centrally symmetrical with respect to the axis of the release lever 4.

[0042] The release lever 4 includes a first lever body 12 located inside the clutch housing 2 and a second lever body 13 located inside the controller housing 6. A release lever 4 bearing is installed between the release lever 4 and the release lever mounting port. The release lever 4 bearing includes a first bearing 14 located between the first lever body 12 and the clutch housing 2, and a second bearing 15 located between the second lever body 13 and the controller housing 6. In this embodiment, there are two first bearings 14. The first lever body 12 and the second lever body 13 are connected by a coupling 16. The coupling 16 has an inner coupling hole on its inner side, and circumferentially arranged coupling teeth on the inner coupling hole. The outer ends of the first lever body 12 and the second lever body 13 are each provided with a coupling portion adapted to the inner coupling hole, and axially arranged coupling teeth are provided on the outer side of the coupling portion. The transmission teeth on the inner coupling hole mesh with the transmission teeth on the coupling portion. After the inner coupling hole and the coupling portion are axially moved and combined, circumferential limiting and transmission are achieved through the coupling teeth.

[0043] During operation, the control shaft 5 of the clutch controller rotates. Because the control shaft 5 meshes with the transmission surface on the transmission component 7, the control shaft 5 drives the transmission component 7 to oscillate. The amplitude of this oscillation is determined by the rotation of the control shaft 5 and is limited by the limiting surface in the transmission cavity 8. If the oscillation amplitude is too large, the radial surface of the transmission component 7 will abut against the buffer pad on the limiting surface. Since the transmission component 7 and the upper rod of the release lever 4 are fixedly connected, when the transmission component 7 oscillates, it also drives the release lever 4 to rotate. The release lever 4 meshes with the main shaft, and when the release lever 4 rotates, it also drives the main shaft to rotate, thus achieving clutch control.
