The heat absorbed by the heat pipes inside the mounting groove can be quickly transferred to the surface of the thermally conductive copper sheet through the heat dissipation holes. Finally, the heat absorbed by the thermally conductive copper sheet can be dissipated to the outside through the heat sink, thereby extending the service life of the internal components of the device.

The friction plate is located on the inner side of the heat dissipation sleeve, and the heat generated during friction will be quickly absorbed by the heat dissipation component inside the heat dissipation sleeve to achieve better heat dissipation effect.

[0019] Preferably, the elastic steel plate and the armature are both installed in the inner diameter of the heat pipe.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic steel plate and the armature are arranged on the inner side of the heat pipe. When heat is generated between the armature and the friction plate, the heat will be absorbed by the heat pipe, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation.

[0021] Preferably, the inner side of the heat sink is connected to the thermally conductive copper sheet via thermally conductive silicone grease, and the inner wall of the thermally conductive copper sheet is connected to the outer surface of the heat sink sleeve via a thermally conductive silicone grease layer.

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application discloses a suction cup clutch.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1-3 , a suction cup clutch comprises a driving shaft 1, one end surface of the driving shaft 1 is rotatably connected with the inner diameter of the connecting shell 2 through a bearing, the installation method of the bearing is an existing and conventional technology and will not be described in detail, the right side surface of the connecting shell 2 is provided with a slot 3 in the shape of an arc groove, the magnetic coil 4 is fixedly clamped in the inside of the slot 3, the middle surface of the driving shaft 1 is surrounded by, and the inner diameter of the outer shell 5 is in contact with the surface of the driving shaft 1, the pressing block 7 is in contact with the inner diameter of the outer shell 5 and is circular, the edge of the pressing block 7 is fixedly clamped in the inner side of the mounting hole 6, the pressing block 7 and the friction plate 8 are fixedly installed by screws, the left end plane of the friction plate 8 is flush with the right plane of the outer shell 5, the left end of the driving shaft 1 is connected to the output end of the external driving machinery, the inner diameter of the connecting sleeve 9 is rotatably sleeved with the right end surface of the driving shaft 1 through the bearing, the heat dissipation sleeve 12 is an annular circular sleeve, the diameter of the heat dissipation sleeve 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting sleeve 9, and the side of the elastic steel plate 10 in contact with the connecting sleeve 9 is an arc-shaped arch surface, such as Figure 2 As shown: the elastic steel plate 10 and the connecting sleeve 9 are fixed by the right edge of the arc-shaped arch surface, the left arc surface of the elastic steel plate 10 and one side of the armature 11 are fixed, the mounting groove 13 is a circular groove, and multiple groups of heat pipes 14 are clamped on the inner side of the mounting groove 13, and the heat pipes 14 are in a winding manner and abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove 13. A plurality of through-type heat dissipation holes 15 are evenly distributed on the outer circular surface of the heat dissipation sleeve 12, and the heat dissipation holes 15 are circular. The thermal conductive copper sheet 16 is a circular thin sheet sleeve, and a paste-like thermal conductive silicone grease layer is applied between the heat dissipation sleeve 12 and the thermal conductive copper sheet 16. The heat dissipation sheet 17 composed of multiple sheets is evenly fixed on the outer diameter of the thermal conductive copper sheet 16.

[0037] Through the above arrangement: the motor drives the driving shaft 1 to rotate, and the driving shaft 1 drives the outer shell 5, the pressure block 7 and the friction plate 8 inside it to rotate synchronously. After the magnetic coil 4 is energized with the external power supply, a magnetic field will be generated on the inner side of the connecting shell 2, and the magnetic field will generate suction on the armature 11 on one side of the connecting sleeve 9, so that the armature 11 moves toward the direction of the magnetic coil 4, so that one side of the armature 11 and the friction plate 8 are firmly adsorbed, and the elastic steel plate 10 will be deformed during the movement of the armature 11, and the high-speed rotation The friction plate 8 will drive the armature 11 to rotate accordingly, thereby realizing the rotation of the connecting sleeve 9. When more heat is generated between the friction plate 8 and the armature 11 due to friction, the heat will accumulate inside the heat dissipation sleeve 12. The rotation of the clutch drives the surrounding air to undergo a phase change cycle. The generated heat can be evenly transferred to the inner wall of the mounting groove 13 through the heat pipe 14, and then transferred to the surface of the heat-conducting copper sheet 16 through the heat dissipation holes 15. Finally, the heat on the surface of the heat-conducting copper sheet 16 is dissipated to the outside through the heat sink 17, thereby realizing the removal of friction heat.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 A connecting wire 18 is connected through the surface of one side of the connecting shell 2, one end of the connecting wire 18 is connected to the surface terminal of the magnetic coil 4, and the two leads of the transformer 19 are respectively connected to the connecting wire 18 points. The resistance of the transformer 19 is equal to the ratio of the voltage difference between the two connection points to the current passing through the transformer 19.

[0039] The transformer 19 can reduce the current flow through the magnetic coil 4, thereby reducing the heat generated on the surface of the magnetic coil 4 due to long-term operation at high voltage, improving the heat dissipation of the device and extending the service life of the internal components.

[0040] The implementation principle of a harmonic reducer in the embodiment of the present application is:

[0041] The driving shaft 1 and the outer shell 5 on the surface are driven to rotate synchronously through the driving component. After the magnetic coil 4 is energized, it will generate an attractive force on the armature 11 on the right end surface of the driving shaft 1, so that one side of the armature 11 and the friction plate 8 are firmly adsorbed, and the armature 11 will cause deformation to the elastic steel plate 10 on one side of the connecting sleeve 9. Through the friction force generated between the armature 11 and the friction plate 8, the outer shell 5 drives the connecting sleeve 9 and the heat dissipation sleeve 12 to rotate with it, thereby realizing the clutch state, and the heat generated by the friction plate 8 will be absorbed by the heat pipe 14 in the installation groove 13, and dissipated through the heat dissipation hole 15 to the surface of the heat-conducting copper plate 16, and finally discharged to the outside by the heat sink 17, so as to achieve the heat dissipation effect of the device. The installed transformer 19 can reduce the voltage and change the current, reduce the load of the magnetic coil 4, and thus reduce the heat generation. Whenever the magnetic coil 4 is powered off, the armature 11 loses its suction force, and the elastic steel plate 10 drives the armature 11 and the friction plate 8 to separate, so that the clutch is in a stopped state.

[0042] The heat pipe 14 and the heat-conducting copper sheet 16 are both made of copper material. The heat pipe 14 is installed using a copper tube winding arrangement. The copper tubes gathered together can increase their own thermal conductivity. The heat sink 12 is made of heat-resistant ABS material and can maintain good performance in a high temperature environment. The heat sink 17 is made of aluminum alloy. The outer shell 5 and the connecting sleeve 9 are both made of steel material.

Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
