Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coupling devices between tractors and machines, in particular to a silicon oil clutch with lateral swinging heat dissipation function. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous improvement of agricultural mechanization, the performance and efficiency of agricultural machinery have been significantly improved. However, in the operation process of agricultural machinery, the silicon oil fan clutch is a key component in the engine cooling system, which mainly adjusts the running state of the fan according to the engine cooling demand to optimize the heat dissipation efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

[0003] The silicon oil clutches currently used on the market can be divided into temperature sensing type and electric control type. The temperature sensing type silicon oil clutch relies on the deformation of the bimetallic temperature sensing sheet to control the opening and closing of the silicon oil flowing into the working chamber, thereby adjusting the running state of the fan. The electric control type silicon oil clutch receives engine temperature, intake temperature, speed and other signals through the electric control unit, and adjusts the opening and closing of the valve according to the real-time working condition, realizes the accurate flow control of silicon oil, and makes the fan can dynamically adjust the speed according to the engine demand.

[0004] However, the silicon oil clutches on the market still have certain limitations in heat dissipation adjustment. The heat dissipation ribs of the traditional silicon oil fan clutch adopt a fixed structure and cannot be actively adjusted to adapt to different working conditions, resulting in that the heat dissipation capacity completely depends on passive air cooling. In high temperature working conditions, the fixed heat dissipation ribs cannot actively enhance the heat dissipation efficiency, resulting in continuous increase of silicon oil temperature, decrease of its viscosity, weakening of torque transmission capacity, and affecting the transmission stability of the clutch. In low temperature working conditions, since the heat dissipation ribs are in a fixed state, they cannot reduce the heat dissipation intensity, resulting in too low silicon oil temperature and too high viscosity, which makes the clutch meshing and disengaging difficult, increases power loss, and reduces system response speed. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0037] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1-8 ,

[0038] A silicone oil clutch with a transverse swing heat dissipation function, comprising a housing (1), a secondary heat dissipation rib (2), a secondary transmission gear (3), a main transmission gear (4), a driving motor (5), a motor fixing plate (6), a driving gear (7), a driven gear (8), a temperature sensor (9), a driven disc (10), a valve plate (11), a driving disc (12), a working chamber (13), a driving shaft (14), a primary heat dissipation rib (15), and a positioning bolt (16); a small hole is formed at the bottom of the primary heat dissipation rib (15), and the primary heat dissipation rib (15) is connected to the housing (1) via the positioning bolt (16); the driving gear (7) The auxiliary transmission gear (3) is meshed with the driven gear (8); the driving shaft (14) is placed below the driving motor (5), and the driving motor (5) drives the driving gear (7) to rotate; the driven gear (8) rotates to adjust the swing angle of the auxiliary heat dissipation rib (2); the driving motor (5) is used to drive the driving gear (7); the temperature sensor (9) is located in the working chamber (13) formed between the driving disk (12) and the driven disk (10), and adjusts the rotation of the driving motor (5) according to the real-time silicone oil temperature through a double closed-loop PID algorithm.

[0039] Furthermore, the main transmission gear (4) and the driving gear (7) are meshed and driven to achieve swinging; the front end of the main heat dissipation rib (15) is connected to the driven gear (8) through the auxiliary transmission gear (3); when the driving gear (7) rotates, it drives the main transmission gear (4) to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the main heat dissipation rib (15); the front end of the auxiliary heat dissipation rib (2) is connected to the driven gear (8) through the auxiliary transmission gear (3); the driven gear (8) rotates under the drive of the main heat dissipation rib (15), and drives the auxiliary heat dissipation rib (2) to swing synchronously.

[0040] The present invention adopts dual closed-loop PID control to perform adaptive control of the swing angle of the main heat dissipation rib (15), thereby realizing adaptive adjustment of the heat dissipation rib; the dual closed-loop PID control includes a temperature loop and a current loop; the temperature loop outputs the desired swing angle of the main heat dissipation rib (15) through PID control according to the deviation between the desired temperature and the actual temperature of the silicone oil; the motor current determines the voltage of the drive motor (5) through PID control according to the deviation between the desired angle and the actual angle of the main heat dissipation rib (15), thereby realizing current closed-loop control, thereby realizing precise control of the heat dissipation rib angle. Further, the following implementation steps are included:

[0041] Step 1: The temperature sensor (9) in the working chamber (13) detects the real-time silicone oil temperature. Set silicone oil temperature Deviation As input, its expression is:

[0042] (1)

[0043] described The temperature of the silicone oil in the working chamber (13) is collected in real time by the temperature sensor (9); is the preset optimal working temperature of silicone oil; is the real-time temperature deviation value, Indicates that the temperature is too high. Indicates that the temperature is too low.

[0044] In step 2, the deviation is used as input to the temperature loop of the dual control loop PID algorithm to generate the target swing angle of the main heat dissipation rib (15), which is expressed as:

[0045] (2)

[0046] Where, is the proportionality coefficient, is the integration coefficient, is the differential coefficient, It is the swing angle of the main heat dissipation rib (15).

[0047] Step 3: The current loop drives the motor through PID control to generate the corresponding output torque, thus achieving precise swing control of the heat dissipation rib swing angle. The swing angle error is:

[0048] (3)

[0049] Where, The target swing angle calculated for the temperature loop; is the current actual swing angle.

[0050] (4)

[0051] Where, Control voltage for driving motor; is the proportional gain, is the integral gain, is the differential gain.

[0052] The motor input current The corresponding torque is generated:

[0053] (5)

[0054] Where, is the output torque of the driving motor (5), is the torque constant of the driving motor (5), the output torque The transmission system acting on the heat dissipation ribs ensures the system has dynamic adaptability under different temperature conditions and achieves efficient heat dissipation control.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the temperature ring monitors the actual temperature of the silicone oil in the working cavity (13) in real time through the temperature sensor (9), the system compares the detected value with the preset target temperature, and calculates the temperature deviation as the input of the PID controller. The greater the temperature error, the higher the degree of deviation of the current working condition from the ideal state. The PID controller calculates the target swing angle of the main heat dissipation rib (15) accordingly, and transmits the target angle to the current control loop. When the temperature rises, the temperature error increases, and the PID controller outputs a larger target swing angle; the system drives the motor (5) to rotate forward, which in turn drives the driving gear (7), the main transmission gear (4), the auxiliary transmission gear (3) and the driven gear (8) to rotate, realizing the synchronous large-angle swing of the main heat dissipation rib (15) and the auxiliary heat dissipation rib (2), thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect. Conversely, when the temperature decreases, the PID controller calculates a smaller target angle, and the system drives the motor (5) to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the heat dissipation rib gradually returns to the initial state, and the heat dissipation effect is weakened, so as to keep the silicone oil in the stable working interval.

[0056] The current loop, as the direct control loop of the driving motor (5), controls the running state of the motor according to the target angle output by the temperature loop. After calculating the target angle, the system needs to adjust the actual output torque and speed of the motor to accurately realize the angle adjustment. The current loop adjusts the input current of the driving motor (5) in real time through closed-loop PID control. Since the output torque of the driving motor is linearly related to the input current, the current loop ensures that the system output current matches the required target current. Under high temperature working condition, the system outputs larger driving current through the current loop to generate greater motor torque, so that the heat dissipation rib swings quickly; when the temperature gradually tends to be in the stable range, the system gradually reduces the current input, and the motor slows down and maintains the current angle, ensuring the stability of temperature regulation. Under low temperature working condition, the system can even adjust the input current in the opposite direction, so that the heat dissipation rib returns to the folded state, to prevent excessive heat dissipation.

[0057] The present application is not limited to the specific details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other forms without departing from the core idea or basic characteristics of the present application; therefore, these embodiments are only examples, and do not limit the scope of the present application; the scope of the present application is determined by the appended claims, and covers all modifications within the equivalent scope of the claims.

[0058] In addition, although the present specification is described in embodiments, not every embodiment corresponds to only one independent technical solution. This description is only for clarity, and the skilled person should consider the specification as a whole, and form other understandable implementation manners in combination with the technical solutions in each embodiment.
