A method of actuating a clutch in a gearbox

Abstract

The application discloses a pushing mechanism for pushing clutch to separate in a gearbox, which comprises an axial pushing device, a turbine worm device and a driving motor. The axial pushing device is arranged on an input shaft and comprises a ring-shaped pushing disc sleeved on the input shaft adjacent to the clutch. The ring-shaped pushing disc can be axially pushed on the input shaft while rotating around the input shaft. The turbine worm device comprises a ring-shaped turbine fixed around the outer periphery of the ring-shaped pushing disc and a worm with one end engaged with the ring-shaped turbine and the other end connected with the driving motor. In use, the ring-shaped pushing disc is driven to rotate by the driving motor through the turbine worm device, so that the ring-shaped pushing disc is pushed to the clutch to make the clutch close or the ring-shaped pushing disc is retracted to make the clutch separate. The pushing mechanism has the advantages of high control precision, stable performance, no additional external space occupied by the axial pushing device depending on the input shaft and simple overall structure compared with a hydraulic cylinder and a pump pressure system.
