Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automobile parts detection, and in particular relates to a clutch friction element warping deformation detection device, system and method. Background Art

[0002] As an important component of the transmission system, the clutch connects the engine and the output shaft and is widely used in vehicles, ships, engineering machinery and other fields. The core components of the wet clutch are friction plates and dual steel plates. Each pair of friction pairs is composed of a friction plate and a dual steel plate. These friction plates and dual steel plates are arranged alternately to form multiple groups of friction pairs.

[0003] However, when the vehicle is running at high speed and high load, due to the centrifugal force at high speed, the clutch often works under high surface pressure and high speed difference. The large amount of friction heat generated during the engagement process causes the temperature of the friction element to rise. Due to the difference in linear speed between the inner and outer diameters of the friction element and the different heat dissipation conditions, there is a large radial temperature difference, which causes a large thermal stress and causes the friction element to warp in a conical shape. Since slight warping of the friction element will not affect the normal use of the clutch, slight warping of the friction element is not easy to be found. As the degree of warping of the friction element increases, the warping height will gradually occupy the friction pair clearance of the clutch, causing the friction pair to slip for a long time in the separated state, generating a large amount of friction heat, further aggravating the warping deformation of the friction element, and even causing the ablation and fracture of the friction element.

[0062] The present invention also discloses a detection system based on a warping deformation inspection device for a clutch friction element, including a power supply system and a display instrument. The power supply system is used to supply power to the detection device, and the display instrument is electrically connected to the optical fiber amplifier unit 1 to display the detection result. The power supply system is used to supply power to the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 and the laser transmitter 5-6, and can also drive the hydraulic drive motor of the detection component to drive the clutch to rotate at high speed; and the display instrument is built into the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 and connected to the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 to display the detection result.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, the power supply system consists of a 12v mobile power supply and a 5v power supply, which directly powers the fiber amplifier unit 1 and the laser emitter 5-6 units, wherein the 12v mobile power supply powers the fiber amplifier 1-2, and the 5v mobile power supply powers the laser emitter 5-6.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, after the power supply system supplies power to the laser emitting unit 5, the laser emitter 5-6 emits a 5mW red laser source as a detection laser 10, and its bright 650nm wavelength red laser beam and photoelectricity make the visible distance far exceed the detection requirements.

[0069] In an example of the present application, after the power supply system supplies power to the optical fiber transmitting unit, the optical signal received by the laser receiver 11-3 is physically transmitted to the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 through the optical fiber. The optical fiber amplifier 1-2 responds at an ultra-high speed of 16us to digitally present the amount of light received.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present application, the laser emitting unit 5 is used in an ambient temperature of -10-+55°C, an ambient humidity of 35-85% RH, and a protection level of IP54.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, a display meter is built into the optical fiber amplifier 1-2. When the amount of received light is greater than a threshold value, it is determined that the friction element is not warped, the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 outputs a low level, and the meter has no display. When the amount of received light is less than a threshold value, it is determined that the friction element is warped, the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 outputs a high level, and the meter lights up red.

[0072] See attached Figure 6 As shown, the clutch friction element warping deformation detection system of the present application has the following detection principle:

[0073] When the friction element has no warping deformation and the clutch is in a disengaged state, the detection laser 10 emitted by the laser transmitter 5-6 is not blocked, most of the detection laser 10 is received by the laser receiver 11-3, and the optical signal is physically transmitted to the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 through the optical fiber unit. At this time, the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 shows a maximum value of 9999.

[0074] When the friction element is warped, the separation gap of the clutch is reduced, and the detection laser 10 emitted by the laser transmitter 5-6 is reflected at the warped part, so part of the laser no longer enters the laser receiving unit 11 along the original route; the amount of light received by the laser receiver 11-3 is reduced, and the optical signal transmitted to the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 is reduced, and the reading of the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 is reduced until the detection laser 10 emitted by the laser transmitter 5-6 is completely blocked by the warped part, at which time the reading of the laser transmitter 5-6 is zero.

[0075] The threshold is set to the average of the maximum value 9999 and the minimum value 0 of the reading of the optical fiber amplifier 1-2, which is used to detect whether the friction element is warped or deformed.

[0076] If the amount of received light is greater than the threshold, it is determined that the friction element has no warping deformation, the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 outputs a low level, and the instrument displays;

[0077] If the amount of light received is greater than the threshold, the friction element will bend and deform, the optical fiber will amplify and output a high level, and the instrument will display it.

[0078] The present invention also discloses a detection method based on the clutch friction element warping deformation detection system, comprising the following steps:

[0079] A stand consisting of the motor shaft 2, the coupling 3, the pressure plate 4, the box 6, the input shaft 13, the output shaft 7, the input transparent cover 14, and the output transparent cover 8 is completed on the box 6, and a clutch consisting of the friction plate 12 and the steel plate 15 is installed;

[0080] Install the optical fiber amplifier unit 1, the laser emitting unit 5, and the laser receiving unit 11 on the stand in sequence to complete the construction of the clutch friction element warping deformation detection device. Figure 1 As shown;

[0081] Physically connect the optical fiber unit of the laser receiver 11-3 to the optical fiber amplifier 1-2;

[0082] The 12V mobile power supply of the power supply system supplies power to the optical fiber amplifiers 1-2, while the 5V mobile power supply supplies power to the laser transmitters 5-6;

[0083] Set the threshold of the optical fiber amplifier 1-2, rotate the first double-wing handle screw 5-3, the second double-wing handle screw 5-12 and the inner gear 5-5, and adjust the direction of the detection laser 10 emitted by the excitation emitter so that the reading of the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 reaches the maximum value;

[0084] When the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 has a stable light receiving amount greater than the threshold, the hydraulic drive motor is started, and its motor shaft 2 transmits power to the clutch through the coupling 3;

[0085] When the hydraulic motor rotates at high speed for a long time, the clutch is in an environment of high surface pressure and high speed difference. The large amount of friction heat generated during the engagement process causes the temperature of the friction element to rise. Due to the difference in linear speed between the inner and outer diameters of the friction element and the different heat dissipation conditions, there is a large radial temperature difference, which causes large thermal stress and causes the friction element to warp in a conical shape.

[0086] The warping deformation of the friction element causes the detection laser 10 to be reflected at the warped part, the amount of light received by the laser receiver 11-3 is reduced, the optical signal transmitted to the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 is reduced, and the reading of the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 gradually decreases from the maximum value. When the reading decreases below the threshold, the instrument display of the optical fiber amplifier 1-2 lights up, judging that the friction element is bent and deformed, and the detection is completed.

Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
