[0016] Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the dry clutch in

[0017] Figure 3 a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the dry clutch engine for a tricycle according to the utility model. Detailed implementation manners

[0018] The following is a further detailed description through specific implementation manners:

[0019] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings of the specification include: housing 1, crankshaft 2, dry clutch flywheel 3, dry clutch disc 4, pressure plate 5, pressing mechanism 6, return spring 7, guide rod 8, bearing retainer 9, release bearing 10, clutch cover 11, hydraulic piston 12, oil passage 13, oil inlet bolt 14, and exhaust screw 15.

[0020] The embodiment is basically as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 : A dry clutch engine for a tricycle includes a housing 1, and a crankshaft 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1; it further includes a dry clutch that is drivingly connected to the crankshaft 2. In this embodiment, the crankshaft 2 and the dry clutch are drivingly connected through a reduction gear set. The dry clutch includes a dry clutch flywheel 3, a dry clutch disc 4, a pressure plate 5, a pressing mechanism 6, and a clutch cover 11. The dry clutch disc 4 is disposed between the dry clutch flywheel 3 and the pressure plate 5, and the pressing mechanism 6 is used to drive the pressure plate 5 and the dry clutch flywheel 3 to clamp the dry clutch disc 4. In this embodiment, the dry clutch flywheel 3 is fixedly connected to the reduction driven gear of the reduction gear set, the pressing mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the dry clutch flywheel 3, and the pressure plate 5 clamps and holds the dry clutch disc 4 together with the dry clutch flywheel 3 under the elastic force of the pressing mechanism 6.

[0021] In this embodiment, the dry clutch further includes a hydraulic driving mechanism for driving the separation of the pressure plate 5. The hydraulic driving mechanism includes a hydraulic piston 12. A piston cavity for the movement of the hydraulic piston 12 is provided on the clutch cover 11. An oil passage 13 communicating with the piston cavity is provided on the clutch cover 11. The moving end of the hydraulic piston 12 is in linkage cooperation with the pressing mechanism 6. In this embodiment, the moving end of the hydraulic piston 12 is connected to the pressing mechanism 6 through a release bearing 10, so as to reduce wear when the pressing mechanism 6 and the hydraulic piston 12 rotate relative to each other. In this embodiment, two hydraulic pistons 12 are provided and are symmetrically distributed along the rotation axis of the dry clutch. An exhaust screw 15 communicating with the oil passage 13 is connected to the clutch cover 11, and the exhaust screw 15 is located at the top of the oil passage 13. An oil inlet bolt 14 is provided at the oil inlet end of the oil passage 13 on the clutch cover 11.

[0022] In this embodiment, a reset mechanism for resetting the release bearing 10 is provided on the clutch cover 11. The reset mechanism includes a bearing pressure plate 9 connected to the release bearing 10. The bearing pressure plate 9 is slidably connected with a guide rod 8. The guide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the clutch cover 11. The bearing pressure plate 9 is connected with a return spring 7. In this embodiment, the guide rod 8 is threadedly connected to the clutch cover 11, and the return spring 7 is sleeved outside the guide rod 8. In this embodiment, the return spring 7 is preferably a helical compression spring. One end of the return spring 7 abuts against the bearing pressure plate 9, and a limit plate that abuts against the other end of the return spring 7 is connected to the guide rod 8. The elastic force of the return spring 7 can be used to reset the bearing pressure plate 9 after it moves.

[0023] The specific implementation process is as follows: Under normal conditions, the hydraulic piston 12 does not apply a force to the pressing mechanism 6. At this time, the pressure plate 5 of the dry clutch, under the action of the pressing mechanism 6, together with the dry clutch flywheel 3, tightly clamps the dry clutch disc 4, so that the power transmitted by the crankshaft 2 through the reduction gear set is transmitted to the dry clutch disc 4 through the dry clutch flywheel 3, and then transmitted to the transmission shaft connected to the dry clutch through the dry clutch disc 4. When it is necessary to disconnect the output power of the engine, by controlling the hydraulic oil to enter the oil passage 13 of the clutch cover 11, the hydraulic oil enters the piston chamber and pushes the hydraulic piston 12 to move, so that the hydraulic piston 12 pushes the release bearing 10 to move, and the release bearing 10 pushes the pressing mechanism 6 to move to remove the pressure applied to the pressure plate 5, so that the dry clutch disc 4 loses the clamping effect between the pressure plate 5 and the dry clutch flywheel 3 and can rotate relative to the dry clutch flywheel 3, and the power transmission between the dry clutch flywheel 3 and the dry clutch disc 4 is disconnected. By adopting this solution, it is more labor-saving for the operator to control the dry clutch engine of the tricycle, thereby reducing the operation difficulty. And the structure is simple, which improves the reliability of the whole machine and is also convenient for maintenance operations.

[0024] The above are only embodiments of the present invention. Common general knowledge such as specific structures and characteristics in the solution are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
