These components work together to ensure that the clutch system can effectively separate and connect the engine and transmission to achieve smooth gear shifting and power transmission. The truck's pressure plate assembly is designed to be more robust to handle heavier loads and frequent use.

[0003] After searching, the dry friction clutch pressure plate assembly of announcement number CN217401494U includes a clutch cover, a diaphragm spring, a support ring, a pressure plate, a transmission plate and a booster disc spring; a first sub-assembly in which the clutch cover, the diaphragm spring and the support ring are fixedly connected as one, a second sub-assembly in which the first sub-assembly and the transmission plate are fixedly connected as one, and the second sub-assembly and the pressure plate and the booster disc spring are fixedly connected as one; the booster disc spring is arranged between the pressure plate and the diaphragm spring. The dry friction clutch pressure plate assembly provided by the utility model is provided with a booster disc spring between the pressure plate and the diaphragm spring, and the elastic force of the booster disc spring and the diaphragm spring cooperate with each other. When the friction plate is worn, the pressure plate moves to the left side under the action of the diaphragm spring and is pressed against the friction plate, and the force of the diaphragm spring on the pressure plate gradually increases, and the reaction force of the booster disc spring on the diaphragm spring also gradually increases, and the two offset each other, so that the maximum separation force increase after wear is reduced.

[0004] Based on the above patent, a booster disc spring is arranged between the pressure plate and the diaphragm spring, and the elastic forces of the booster disc spring and the diaphragm spring cooperate with each other. When the friction plate is worn, the pressure plate moves to the left under the action of the diaphragm spring and adheres to the friction plate, and the force of the diaphragm spring on the pressure plate gradually increases, and the reaction force of the booster disc spring on the diaphragm spring also gradually increases. The two offset each other, so that the maximum separation force increase after wear is reduced, effectively reducing the driver's fatigue when operating the clutch. However, the pressure plate assembly in this patent will generate high temperature during long-term use, and continuous high temperature will cause the materials of the clutch friction plate and pressure plate to age, harden or become brittle, shortening their service life. Overheating will reduce the friction performance of the clutch, causing slipping, affecting the efficiency of power transmission and driving smoothness. Utility Model Content
