Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clutches, in particular to an independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator for an electromagnetic clutch. Background Art

[0002] Electromagnetic clutch is a friction clutch that uses electromagnetic force to achieve remote control. It controls the engagement and disengagement of the clutch by turning on and off the power of the coil. It is widely used in machine tools and mechanical transmission systems. Its working principle is based on electromagnetic induction and friction, and it can achieve functions such as rapid start, braking, forward and reverse rotation or speed regulation of mechanical transmission parts. It has the advantages of simple structure, fast action, low control energy, easy remote control, and rapid and smooth braking. Therefore, electromagnetic clutch is increasingly favored by the automotive industry.

[0003] At present, the self-return system of the electromagnetic clutch mostly realizes the self-return function of the actuator through the return spring of the external frame of the electromagnetic actuator. The return spring of the external frame of the electromagnetic actuator will add additional components, resulting in a larger volume of the electromagnetic actuator itself and a higher manufacturing cost. Since the electromagnetic actuator itself is large in size, the electromagnetic clutch is limited by the use space constraints and is not suitable for application scenarios with small spaces. To this end, the utility model proposes an independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator for an electromagnetic clutch, in order to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects existing in the prior art and provide an independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator for an electromagnetic clutch. By integrating the reset spring into the interior of the electromagnetic actuator and cleverly improving the structure and assembly relationship of each component, the number of parts is effectively reduced compared with the traditional return spring structure on the outside of the electromagnetic actuator, so that the overall volume of the independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator is significantly reduced, the total weight is significantly reduced, and the manufacturing cost is lower. The overall structural design of the independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator is compact and reasonable, and it is also applicable to extreme application scenarios with narrow space, laying a foundation for the overall layout optimization of the electromagnetic clutch, and the preparation and implementation feasibility is high, and the economy and practicality are strong.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is to design an independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator for an electromagnetic clutch, including a bushing, a reset spring, an electromagnetic coil mounting sleeve, an actuator sleeve and a shell. The left end of the shell has an annular eaves body 2 radially extending into its internal cavity. The bushing passes through the internal cavity of the shell, and the inner edge surface of the annular eaves body 2 is clearance-matched with the outer side surface of the left end of the bushing. The actuator sleeve is sleeve-fixed on the outer side surface of the right end of the bushing, and the electromagnetic coil mounting sleeve is embedded on the inner wall surface of the right end of the shell. The outer peripheral side surface of the electromagnetic coil mounting sleeve is provided with an annular groove, and the annular groove is aligned with the shell. The inner wall surface at the right end is enclosed to form an annular cavity 1, and an electromagnetic induction coil is embedded in the annular cavity 1. The inner wall surface at the left end of the shell and the outer side surface of the left end of the bushing are enclosed to form an annular cavity 2 with an opening facing the right side. The left end surface of the execution sleeve has a stage 2 extending coaxially to the left side, and the stage 2 is adapted to the annular cavity 2. The reset spring is slidably sleeved on the outer side surface of the left end of the bushing, and the left end of the reset spring abuts against the annular eaves 2 at the left end of the bushing, and the right end abuts against the left end surface of the stage 2. The right end of the shell has a ring plate assembly for limiting the electromagnetic coil mounting sleeve and the execution sleeve to the inside of the shell cavity.

[0006] The utility model discloses an independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator for an electromagnetic clutch, which integrates a reset spring inside the electromagnetic actuator and cleverly improves the structures and assembly relationships of the components. Compared with the traditional structure of a return spring outside the electromagnetic actuator, the number of components is effectively reduced, so that the overall volume of the independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator is significantly reduced, the total weight is significantly reduced, and the manufacturing cost is lower. The overall structural design of the independent self-returning electromagnetic actuator is compact and reasonable, and it is also suitable for extreme application scenarios with narrow space, laying a foundation for the overall layout optimization of the electromagnetic clutch, and the preparation and implementation is highly feasible and economical.
