[0002] The torque limiting shock absorber is a special shock absorber, which is mainly used in the transmission system of new energy vehicles. It is installed between the engine and the motor. In normal operation, it plays the role of transmitting torque and reducing vibration and noise. When the torque transmitted by the engine or the torque transmitted by the motor during reverse start exceeds the set value of the shock absorber, the torque limiting function is realized through the sliding wear of the friction plate in the torque limiting shock absorber, protecting the shock absorber and parts in the transmission system from damage.

[0003] The torque transmitted by the existing torque-limiting shock absorber is related to the force value of the disc spring. The torque-limiting capacity is relatively fixed, and disc springs with different force values ​​are required to match different torque-limiting torques. Therefore, the existing torque-limiting shock absorber needs to use a variety of disc springs in actual production, which has poor versatility and has a great impact on manufacturing costs.

An adjusting spring 2 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the boss 24, so that the adjusting spring 2 is pressed between the friction plate 3 and the pressure plate cover 1, preferably, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the inner edge of each mounting hole 26 protrudes downward to form a flange 27 , and the boss 24 and the flange 27 serve as spring seats, so that one end of the adjusting spring 2 is sleeved on the boss 24 and the other end is sleeved on the flange 27 .

[0036] A plurality of ears 28 are evenly arranged along the outer periphery of the friction plate 3, and the ears 28 can be inserted into corresponding slots 29 on the inner wall of the pressure plate cover 1. Figure 4 As shown. Preferably, the number of adjustment springs 2 installed is adjusted according to different torque limiting torques, that is, the adjustment springs 2 are not installed between all eight bosses 24 and flanges 27, but are selectively installed according to torque limiting torque requirements. The working length of the adjustment spring 2 is adjusted by turning the adjustment screw 23, so as to adapt to different thicknesses of the shock absorber sub-assembly 200.

[0037] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 6 and 11, the shock absorber subassembly 200 includes a friction plate 4, a driven plate 7, an outer disc hub 9, a damping plate 13 and an inner disc hub 18. A plurality of spring plates 6 are fixed between the two friction plates 4 by friction plate rivets 5. The other end of each spring plate 6 is fixed to the driven plate 7 by a spring plate rivet 21.

[0038] Furthermore, the positioning assembly includes a positioning ring I10 and a positioning ring III16 sleeved on the inner disk hub 18, wherein the positioning ring I10 is arranged between the driven disk 7 and the outer disk hub 9, and forms a slot-type fit with the driven disk 7, a disc spring II17 is arranged between the positioning ring III16 and the damping disk 13, a positioning ring II14 is arranged on the outer periphery of the positioning ring III16, and a disc spring I15 is arranged between the positioning ring II14 and the damping disk 13.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model:

[0041] The friction plate 3 exerts force through the elastic element (adjusting spring 2) on the friction assembly (friction plate 4) to generate a certain friction torque. When the transmitted torque exceeds the set limit, relative sliding will occur between the friction plate 4 and the friction plate 3, which plays a torque limiting function. When different torque limiting torques are required, different applied forces are required. The requirements for generating different applied forces are achieved by adjusting the number or working length of the adjusting springs 2; at the same time, the torque capacity of the shock absorber subassembly 200 is increased to adapt to more torque transmission requirements.

[0042] It is understandable that, for those skilled in the art, any equivalent replacement or change to the technical solution and the concept of the utility model should fall within the protection scope of the claims attached to the utility model.
