[0029] During the use of the sliding clutch, the clutch body 6 offsets the power difference by disconnecting the two sets of meshing plates 63 connected by the transmission plate 61 and the driven plate 62, thereby ensuring the smooth transmission of power, thereby driving the lubricating sleeve 64 on the outer side of the transmission plate 61 to rotate, and at this time, the lubricating oil in the oil inlet tank 31 enters the connecting plug block 35, and the lubricating oil enters the oil inlet connecting box 361 on the connecting oil tank 36 from the connecting plug block 35, and enters the connecting maintenance box 7 through the connecting oil hole 363 on the oil inlet connecting box 361 through the oil inlet hole 72.

[0030] During use, the clutch body 6 drives the transmission plate 61 to rotate, thereby driving the lubricating sleeve plate 64 on the outer side of the transmission plate 61 to rotate. During the rotation process, when the lower oil groove 641 coincides with the oil inlet hole 72, the lubricating oil falls into the clutch body 6, and lubricates and maintains the gear plate 63 on the transmission plate 61 and the driven plate 62. After lubrication, the lubricating oil flows into the connecting plug 35 from the connecting oil hole 363 in the oil outlet connecting box 362 below the connecting oil tank 36, and enters the oil outlet tank 32 through the connecting plug 35. The sealing ring 71 can prevent oil leakage at the connection between the connecting maintenance box 7 and the connecting oil tank 36. The oil outlet tank 32 can open the oil outlet 321 through the sealing box cover 34 to which it is connected to discharge and collect the oil.
