Abstract
Description
Technical Field

Background Art
[0002] The clutch is a structural component that implements power on-off control during power transmission, and is mainly divided into two types: dry and wet. The wet clutch has the characteristics of uniform pressure distribution, small and uniform wear, large transmission torque capacity, forced cooling, and long life, and is widely used in power transmission systems. In the prior art, when the wet friction clutch structure is in the clutch disengagement state, the active part and the driven part cannot be completely separated, causing varying degrees of belt displacement, resulting in reduced efficiency of the entire machine, and even causing ablation of transmission parts and damage to the overall transmission structure.
[0003] Analysis of the main reasons for the phenomenon of clutch disengagement: 1) When the wet clutch is engaged, the oil that pushes the piston will enter between the inner and outer tooth friction plates and fill the gap between each inner and outer tooth friction plate. When the clutch is separated, there is no hydraulic pressure in the piston cavity, and the piston returns to its original position under the action of the reset spring. There is no gap between the inner and outer tooth friction plates, forming a negative pressure, and it cannot be actively separated, resulting in the active and passive parts The transmission is not completely disconnected, which is the main reason for the phenomenon of clutch disengagement. 2) The friction plate has undergone a certain degree of warping and deformation, resulting in insufficient gaps, and the friction between the inner and outer teeth cannot be separated, causing the clutch to be disengaged.
[0004] In order to improve the problem of belt deflection, the general solutions include appropriately increasing the gap during separation, enhancing the stiffness of the friction plate, and changing the viscosity of the clutch oil. However, the above solutions cannot fundamentally improve or solve the problem of belt deflection. Summary of the invention
