Detailed Implementation Manner

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in [relevant figures], an embodiment provided by the present invention: a high-strength clutch pressure cover assembly includes a clutch cover 1 and a clutch disc 6. A vent 5 is opened on the four sides of the outer wall of the clutch cover 1. An air guide plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the vent 5 in the clockwise direction to direct the wind into the clutch. Friction plates 7 are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the clutch disc 6. A pressure plate 8 is arranged inside the clutch cover 1. Fixed blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the four sides of the outer wall of the pressure plate 8. The right ends of the fixed blocks 9 are connected to the telescopic clips 11 through bolts, and the other ends of the telescopic clips 11 are connected to the clutch cover 1 through bolts. The left end of the pressure plate 8 is closely attached to the right friction plate 7. A fixed ring 2 is fixedly connected to the left end of the clutch cover 1. A plurality of mounting holes 3 are opened at the right end of the fixed ring 2. A plurality of heat dissipation fins 4 are fixedly connected to the right end of the clutch cover 1.

[0025] Specifically, the fixed ring 2 is installed on the flywheel using bolts through the mounting holes 3 on the fixed ring 2, so that the clutch cover 1 is connected to the flywheel. At this time, the fixed blocks 9 are squeezed by the telescopic clips 11 inside the clutch cover 1, and the fixed blocks 9 will drive the pressure plate 8 to squeeze the clutch disc 6, so that the clutch disc 6 is tightly attached to the flywheel. The friction plates 7 on both sides of the clutch disc 6 can increase the friction force during the squeezing process. When the flywheel rotates, it will drive the clutch cover 1 to rotate, so that the air guide plates 19 on the four sides rotate. The air guide plates 19 direct the wind into the vent 5, and the wind cools the inside of the clutch to prevent the internal temperature from being too high, which affects its performance and service life. In addition, the heat dissipation fins 4 at the right end of the clutch cover 1 increase the heat dissipation area, so that the temperature on the clutch cover 1 is dissipated into the air faster.

[0026] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, a fixing sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the four sides of the right end of the pressure plate 8, the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 13 is fixedly connected with a first spring 14, the other end of the first spring 14 is fixedly connected with a first baffle 15, the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 13 is slidably connected with a second baffle 16, the right end of the second baffle 16 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 17, the right end of the connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the left end of the inner wall of the clutch cover 1, so as to buffer the vibration generated when the pressure plate 8 is extended and contracted, the outer wall of the connecting rod 17 is surrounded by a second spring 18, the left end of the second spring 18 is fixedly connected to the right end of the fixing sleeve 13, the right end of the second spring 18 is fixedly connected to the left end of the inner wall of the clutch cover 1, a thin leaf spring 12 is installed on the right end of the pressure plate 8, and the right end of the fixing block 9 is fixedly connected with an L-shaped block 10, and the L-shaped block 10 is located at the right end of the thin leaf spring 12 and fits.

[0027] Specifically, when the user steps on the clutch, pressure is applied to the middle of the leaf spring 12, causing the outer ring of the leaf spring 12 to tilt to the right, thereby driving the L-shaped block 10 to move right. The L-shaped block 10 will drive the pressure plate 8 to move right, so that the pressure plate 8 no longer squeezes the clutch plate 6. During the rightward movement of the pressure plate 8, the second spring 18 will be compressed to absorb vibration. The connecting rod 17 drives the second baffle plate 16 to squeeze the first baffle plate 15, so that the first spring 14 is compressed and acts as a buffer again, thereby reducing the vibration caused by the contraction of the pressure plate 8 and extending the service life of the clutch. When the pressure on the leaf spring 12 is cancelled, the leaf spring 12 will return to its original position, and the pressure plate 8 will be squeezed toward the clutch plate 6 by the telescopic clamp 11.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, the clutch cover 1 is installed on the flywheel through the mounting hole 3 on the fixing ring 2. At this time, the inside of the clutch cover 1 squeezes the fixing block 9 through the telescopic clamp 11, and the fixing block 9 squeezes the clutch plate 6 through the pressure plate 8 again, so that the clutch plate 6 is close to the flywheel. When the flywheel rotates, it will drive the clutch cover 1 to rotate, so that the air guide plates 19 on the four sides rotate, and the air guide plates 19 guide the wind to the vents 5. The wind cools down the inside of the clutch to avoid excessive internal temperature and affect its performance and service life. When the user steps on the clutch, pressure is applied to the middle of the thin leaf spring 12, so that the outer side of the thin leaf spring 12 is tilted to the right, so that the pressure plate 8 is moved to the right through the L-shaped block 10, so that the pressure plate 8 no longer squeezes the clutch plate 6, and the second spring 18 will be compressed during the rightward movement of the pressure plate 8 to absorb vibration, and the connecting rod 17 drives the second baffle 16 to squeeze the first baffle 15, so that the first spring 14 is compressed, which acts as a buffer again, thereby reducing the vibration caused by the contraction of the pressure plate 8 and extending the service life of the clutch.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
