The clutch input gear is inside the lower clutch plate. At this time, the clutch input gear and the upper clutch plate have no force relationship. When the reduction motor drives the reduction mechanism and the clutch input gear to rotate, and when an external force drives the connecting rod mechanism to rotate and then drives the clutch output gear to rotate, there will be no influence on each other. In summary, at this time, there will be no rotational conflict between the gears to cause wear, which has the advantage of extending the life of the gears. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The working principle and use process of the present invention:

[0032] The electromagnetic coil 4 is turned on. Under the action of the magnetic field of the electromagnetic coil 4 and the permanent magnet 8, the lower clutch plate 7 and the upper clutch plate 2 are engaged with each other, the tower spring 6 contracts, and the reduction motor 10 is started.

[0033] The resistance strain gauge 15 attached to the elastic body 16 undergoes mechanical deformation due to the elastic body 16, so that the resistance of the resistance strain gauge 15 changes accordingly, and a zero to five volt-ampere voltage is output through the Wheatstone bridge and the voltage-stabilizing amplifier circuit, which is then converted into torque through a program. If the door clamps an object or an external force pushes the door at this time, a change in torque can be detected, and the electromagnetic coil 4 can be controlled by the program to disconnect the upper clutch plate 2 and the lower clutch plate 7, and then the clutch output gear 1 can rotate freely. At this time, the door can be pushed and pulled freely and it can prevent pinching.
