Description

[0002] Due to excellent damping performance, the dual-mass flywheel is widely used in the vehicle transmission system. Compared with the clutch driven disc type torsional vibration damper, the dual-mass flywheel has a larger relative torsional angle and a smaller elastic element stiffness, and the installation space of the elastic element is not limited by the size of the clutch friction plate. The dual-mass flywheel can not only output large torque, but also further reduce the low-order natural frequency of the system, so that the low-order resonance speed of the system is lower than the engine idle speed.

[0003] The current dual-mass flywheel product cannot flexibly match various vehicle transmission systems, or it is difficult to further suppress torsional vibration by adjusting the stiffness and damping parameters. The introduction of variable rotational inertia technology in the dual-mass flywheel can further effectively suppress the torsional vibration of the vehicle transmission system, reduce noise, and improve the comfort and service life of the vehicle. However, the existing variable inertia dual-mass flywheel has defects such as poor flexibility of rotational inertia adjustment or single adjustment mode. SUMMARY

[0027] As shown in the figure Figs. 1-3 The force transmission plate 4 is a circular ring structure, the center of the force transmission plate 4 is provided with a through hole, and six uniformly distributed threaded holes are arranged around the through hole, the periphery of the force transmission plate 4 is symmetrically provided with two outwardly extending side ear plates in the radial direction, and the force transmission plate 4 and the secondary flywheel 5 are connected together through screws.

[0028] One end of the arc-shaped spring 3 is in contact with the boss in the inner cavity of the primary flywheel 1, and the other end is in contact with the side surface of the side ear plate of the force transmission plate 4, so as to transmit torque from the primary flywheel 1 to the force transmission plate 4 and the secondary flywheel 5.

[0029] As shown in the figure Fig. 6As shown, the electromagnetic device is composed of the magnetic yoke 7, the first permanent magnet 8, the copper coil 9, the second permanent magnet 10, the cover 11, the housing 12, the inner linear spring 13, the outer linear spring 14 and the connecting plate 15.
