1 TARIFF REPLACEABLE CLUTCH DISC Technical Area The invention relates to a clutch disc with replaceable clutch plates. State of the Art 5 In the current state of the art, the kinetic energy produced by the engine is transferred to the gearbox. The function of transmitting or interrupting this transmission is done through clutch systems. This is accomplished using a clutch disc, flywheel, and clutch pressure plate. located between them and based on the principle of friction thanks to the brake pads it carries. It is known as a transmission system that functions as a clutch. The clutch plates on the clutch disc are 10 Limited use due to constant friction during vehicle operation. It has a lifespan, and when this lifespan is complete, the brake pad loses its function. The clutch system cannot operate efficiently. In current technology, when the clutch disc and clutch pad reach the end of their lifespan, the entire clutch disc is replaced directly. is replaced with a new one. In this method, any wear or tear other than the brake pad is considered. All other parts that do not show signs of deterioration are also destroyed, which damages both the material and the property. This leads to both waste and a high-cost solution for the user. Alternative As an approach, worn brake pads can be removed one by one by disassembling the brake pad rivets, and recovering the clutch disc by re-riveting new clutch plates in its place It is being tested. However, this revision process takes 20 minutes from the brake pad surface to the top of the rivet. This is an important technical issue because it requires the height to be maintained within a specific tolerance. This presents difficulties. If this distance remains shorter than necessary... The rivets are positioned close to the brake pad surface, extending the pad's lifespan. The lengthens; however, if the rivets are excessively crushed or inflated, Cutting occurs in the rivets and under vehicle operating conditions the rivets are 25 The risk of breakage arises. Therefore, the aforementioned riveting processes, only in factory environments where powerful press machines are available, precise measurement and It is becoming essential to carry out this with the support of control steps.

It is explained. The invention relates to the transmission of the engine's kinetic energy to the gearbox, or to the reduction of this transmission. It is related to a clutch disc (1) which is involved in cutting. The mentioned clutch disc (1), the movement of the engine is transmitted to the transmission by being compressed between the clutch pressure plate and the flywheel. This allows the transmission to be disengaged if the jamming is removed. It has a structure that allows for. A clutch plate (2) located on the clutch disc (1), clutch The disc (1) is connected to the gear at the end of the input shaft from which the gearbox receives power. 10 In this way, the task of transmitting power to the transmission system at the user's request. It is receiving. The clutch disc (2) is attached to the clutch disc (1) via one or more clutch disc rivets (3). It is attached. The mentioned clutch plate (2) is attached during operation of the clutch pressure plate. It functions by friction between the mirror surface and the flywheel surface, and this friction is 15 As a result, it wears down over time. Between the brake pad (2) surface and the brake pad rivets (3) Distance is an important parameter in determining the service life of the brake pad (2). This distance is highlighted because as brake pad (2) wear progresses, this distance decreases and eventually The clutch rivets (3) come into contact with the flywheel surfaces through friction caused by clutch pressure. It starts. When the brake pad rivets (3) start rubbing against the relevant surfaces, the brake pad 20 (2) is considered as an indication that it has completed its service life. The clutch disc (1) that is the subject of the invention consists of an outer main plate (4) with a clutch plate and an inner main plate (6) It includes. The brake pad (2) is attached on the outer main sheet metal (4) with the aforementioned brake pad. and forms part of the outer main plate (4) disc assembly with brake pads. The connection between the main sheet metal (4) and the inner main sheet metal (6) is made by one or more outer main sheet metal plates with brake pads. It is done by means of sheet metal rivets (5). The mentioned inner main sheet metal (6) is also a disc. As part of the assembly, clutch disc (1) together with outer main plate (4) with clutch plate It ensures the integrity of the whole. Replacement of clutch disc (1) and pad (2) that have reached the end of their service life on the vehicle, This is done as described below. The brake pad (2) wears out and its lifespan is 30 when completed and the clutch rivets (3) make contact with the flywheel surfaces by the clutch pressure plate when it starts to make the connection between the outer main sheet metal (4) and the inner main sheet metal (6) with brake pads The outer main sheet metal rivets (5) that provide brake pads are removed. After this process, the following is done: new outer main sheet metal (4) with new brake pads (2) and the aforementioned inner main sheet metal (6) repositioned on top and inner via outer main sheet metal rivets (5) with brake pads It is mounted by re-riveting to the main sheet metal (6).
