Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of clutch detection, and relates to a clutch actuator single detection device and a detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern mechanical industry, clutch actuators play an important role in the normal work of different types of hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structures. Usually, the clutch actuators are controlled by the hydraulic system, and the clutch actuators gradually synchronize the two parts with different rotating speeds to the same rotating speed through the sliding friction between the friction elements with different rotating speeds, so as to realize the function of transmitting torque of the clutch actuators, and the clutch actuators are important components in the power transmission route of the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, which ensures that the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure can work normally. However, in the actual work of the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, because of unreasonable design, drastic change of working environment and frequent extreme working conditions and other influencing factors, the clutch actuators may be stuck, slow in response, damaged, and even the entire clutch actuators may fail, which seriously affects the normal function of the hydraulic control system and the normal transmission of power in the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, and further causes serious failure of the entire hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure.

[0003] Usually, the clutch actuators have many parts that cooperate with each other in the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, and the communication relationship between the control oil circuits is complex. Different clutch actuators are associated with each other and influence each other when working, and the clutch actuators are closely related to the hydraulic control system. Usually, one power oil circuit connects and affects multiple clutch actuators. When the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure fails, it is difficult to analyze the fault of the specific clutch actuator and quickly locate the fault point. Only the entire hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure can be disassembled to find and analyze the fault point, and after the fault is eliminated, the disassembled hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure needs to be restored and tested again. In the process of repeated disassembly and restoration, not only new part damage and assembly errors will be caused, but also a large amount of labor cost and time cost will be wasted.

[0004] Now, to test the performance of the clutch actuator and its internal parts, the commonly used detection method at present is to test the clutch actuator in the hydraulic transmission mechanical structure, to take the hydraulic transmission mechanical structure as a whole test bench, to arrange monitoring points at the corresponding positions of each clutch actuator, to record and analyze a series of dynamic data of the hydraulic transmission mechanical structure, and to finally determine whether the performance of each clutch actuator assembly and internal parts meets the use requirements. However, this method still has some problems. First, there are many connections between the clutch actuator and the hydraulic transmission mechanical structure, and when the hydraulic transmission mechanical structure fails, it is difficult to accurately determine the occurrence position of the fault point, because the damage of the structure connected with the clutch mechanism will also appear as the damage of the clutch actuator. Secondly, in the detection, the clutch actuator cannot be directly controlled, and the control of the clutch actuator must be through the hydraulic transmission mechanical structure. In the control process, control deviation, multiple accumulations of control precision errors and errors in the control chain process may occur, which may cause the failure of the whole control process. At the same time, some parameters of the clutch actuator cannot be directly measured, such as the oil channel pressure, flow and temperature at the specific position, which can only be measured at the adjacent sampling points, which may cause large errors and be easily affected by other associated parts. Moreover, there are many internal parts in the clutch actuator, which are usually installed at the internal center position of the hydraulic transmission mechanical structure. When the parts need to be replaced, the whole hydraulic transmission mechanical structure must be disassembled, which causes difficulty in maintenance. SUMMARY

[0083] The oil is introduced into the distribution oil channel, and the oil enters the piston cavity through the distribution oil channel and the clutch oil channel;

[0084] The test mechanism of the clutch actuator is started, i.e., the oil delivery device is started, the oil drives the piston to move, and the working state of the clutch actuator in actual operation is simulated;

[0086] Further, data acquisition points are selected at any required measurement positions on the clutch actuator, detection devices are arranged at the data acquisition points, and real-time running data of the data acquisition points are acquired by the detection devices when the clutch actuator starts to run.

[0087] Specifically, the application discloses a specific detection method:

[0088] After the single clutch actuator is assembled with the detection device, the required power oil in the hydraulic system is connected to the test system of the single clutch actuator through external pipeline connection, the first oil hole 19 is connected with the first clutch oil channel 21, the power oil fills the piston cavity to increase the pressure, and then the first clutch piston 11 is pushed to compress the first clutch friction plate set 8, when the oil pressure in the piston cavity decreases, the first clutch piston 11 is reset under the action of the first piston return spring set 7; similarly, the second oil hole 20 is connected with the second clutch oil channel 22, the power oil fills the piston cavity to increase the pressure, and then the second clutch piston 30 is pushed to compress the second clutch friction plate set 32, when the oil pressure in the piston cavity decreases, the second clutch piston 30 is reset under the action of the second piston return spring set 31. The pressure relief channel 23 can timely discharge the excess oil in the test process to the outside of the system, so that the excessive oil in the system is avoided, and the test result is affected.

[0089] Through the cyclic reciprocating movement of the two hydraulic pistons, the corresponding clutch friction plate and the opposite plate set are continuously in the combined-disengaged-combined state, the working state of the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure in actual operation is simulated, and the performance of each part of the clutch actuator and the assembly performance are tested.

[0090] During detection, the connection form of the external pipeline joint can be selected according to actual test conditions, and the connection form of the external pipeline joint adopted in the application is a threaded hole connection.

[0091] Further, different pressure and flow tests can be performed according to different use conditions of the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, and specific frequency fatigue durability tests can also be performed by automatically controlling required parameters through a program.

[0092] Further, in the detection, the data collection can be directly arranged on the external pipeline or collected in the test system of the clutch actuator unit, such as punching and arranging the data collection point on the clutch outer hub 13, and arranging the collection device at the collection point according to the target data to be collected, which can be a sensor.

[0093] Further, in the detection, the data collection point of the present application is arranged on the external pipeline, and if an abnormal condition occurs during the test, the machine can be stopped for checking and finding the fault point, facilitating the disassembly of the clutch actuator test system and the replacement and troubleshooting of the internal parts of the system. After the test is completed, the state of the parts inside the clutch actuator is evaluated and analyzed, and the test results are further used to determine the subsequent optimization and improvement design scheme. This optimization and improvement process does not depend on the state of the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, and when verification is needed, separate testing is performed for preliminary test analysis, which breaks the constraint of the verification progress of the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, effectively shortens the product development cycle, and saves the development cost.

[0094] The present application also discloses another embodiment, which is different from the above embodiment in that the first clutch piston 11, the balance piston (12), the D-shaped sealing ring (6) installed on the first clutch piston 11, the balance piston (12), the clutch outer hub (13), the group of piston return springs (7), the first clutch friction plate group 8, and the two elastic retainer rings 9 in the clutch actuator unit test system of embodiment 1 are removed. The states of the remaining parts are consistent with those of embodiment 1, and only the second clutch piston 30 and the second clutch friction plate group 32 in the clutch actuator are tested separately. The measurement method and precautions are consistent with those of embodiment 1. Therefore, the present application can selectively test the parts in the clutch actuator separately, as long as the corresponding oil holes and oil channels are unobstructed and the piston cavity is connected. In this embodiment, the second clutch piston 30, the back plate 10, and the two D-shaped sealing rings 6 installed on the second clutch piston 30 and the clutch outer hub 13, the second piston return spring group 31, the second clutch friction plate group 32, and the two elastic retainer rings 9 can also be removed. Only the first clutch piston 11 and the first clutch friction group 8 can be tested, and at this time, only the power oil supply end of the uninstalled hydraulic piston needs to be disconnected to input power oil. If the power oil input end is not blocked due to operation error, normal testing can still be performed, and the excess oil will be discharged from the pressure relief oil channel 23, but the testing at this time will cause waste of power oil.

[0095] In addition, the clutch actuator monomer test system provided by the application can test different sizes of clutch actuators without replacing a large number of parts, only needs to replace adjustment shims of different thicknesses and the screwing depth of locking bolts, and can test different sizes of clutch actuator parts as long as the oil tank on the oil distribution structure is aligned with the oil channel on the clutch outer hub. If the shape of the hydraulic piston in the clutch actuator changes greatly, the placement hydraulic part of the clutch outer hub can be adjusted according to the shape, and then the oil channel part of the clutch outer hub is pressed and assembled, so that the sealing effect of the piston cavity can push the hydraulic piston to move axially.

[0096] The support and connection device used in the detection device and method disclosed in the embodiment of the application has a small number of auxiliary parts, a simple structure, low cost, simple fixing connection and assembly during clutch test, and is convenient for disassembly and maintenance of testers, can be tested independently of the hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, avoids testing of a local subsystem in the overall hydrodynamic transmission mechanical structure, avoids the influence of the structure of the adjacent parts of the clutch actuator through targeted testing, improves the accuracy and authenticity of the sampling data, and does not need to obtain the data to be measured through some indirect measurement methods; the application can also test different sizes of clutch actuators, only needs to replace the size of the adjustment shims, adjust the screwing depth of the locking bolts, and change the shape of the part of the clutch outer hub on which the hydraulic piston is placed to adjust the entire test system, can adjust the accuracy of the measuring equipment of the measuring system according to different design requirements, uses the simplest test method to further save costs, can change the position of data collection, the range and frequency of data collection during the test process according to the needs of on-site testing, has more flexibility compared with the traditional test system, can be easily disassembled, problems can be checked and the corresponding faulty parts can be replaced when a fault or problem is found during the test process, and a large amount of labor cost and time cost for maintaining the test system is saved.
