[0029] In addition to all the technical features of the first embodiment, this embodiment also includes:
[0030] A friction plate 11 is provided on one side of the pressure plate 2, a heat sink 12 is provided on one side of the friction plate 11, and a flywheel is provided on one side of the heat sink 12. The heat sink 12 improves the heat dissipation capacity inside the device.

[0033] Working principle: First, when the staff steps on the clutch pedal, the operating mechanism pushes the release bearing to press the clamping mechanism of the pressure plate 8, causing the pressure plate 8 to retreat and create a gap between the flywheel. At this time, the driven plate 10 is completely separated from the flywheel and the pressure plate 8, there is no friction, there is no power transmission between the clutch master and slave parts, and there is no speed difference. In this state, the engine can idle, the transmission can shift gears, and the shield machine can stop. Then, when the staff releases the clutch pedal, the operating mechanism returns to its original position, the release bearing is disengaged from the clamping mechanism, and the clamping mechanism pushes the pressure plate 8 forward under the action of the diaphragm spring 7, eliminating the gap between the flywheel and the flywheel. At this time, the driven plate 10 is in close contact with the flywheel and the friction plate 11, there is sufficient friction, there is power transmission between the clutch master and slave parts, and there is no speed difference. In this state, the power of the engine can be completely transmitted to the transmission, and the shield machine can operate normally. A heat sink 12 is arranged on one side of the friction plate 11 to provide a certain heat dissipation effect. A torsional damper 9 is arranged inside the driven plate 10, which can effectively dissipate vibration energy and improve the stability of the clutch operation. An output shaft is arranged inside the connecting hole 2. Finally, since the clutch housing 1 will rotate with the flywheel, the air inlet 3 and the vent 1 6 opened on the surface of the housing can realize active air intake from the air inlet 3 through the rotation of the shell, and an air outlet 4 is arranged at the bottom of the shell to realize air circulation inside the shell. The flywheel also drives the heat dissipation fan blades 18 to rotate, and the equipment in the shell can be cooled through the vent 2 19. A dustproof net 13 is arranged inside the heat dissipation hole 5 to prevent dust from entering the clutch housing 1 and affecting the operation of the equipment, and a heat sink 14 is arranged on the inner wall of the clutch housing 1 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the device. The shock absorbing spring 17 and the damping rod 16 arranged on the inner wall of the clutch housing 1 combine to produce a shock absorbing effect, and the existence of the buffer block 15 can provide a certain buffering effect, thereby reducing the amplitude of the vibration of the device and enhancing the stability of the device.
