[0002] The hydraulic clutch control mechanism is the most common clutch control method in automobiles, used to switch gears. When OEMs produce mass-produced models, they can use a vacuum filling machine on the production line to vacuum the hydraulic system and fill it with oil, so that no air is left in the hydraulic system and the hydraulic system can work effectively. However, vacuum filling machines are relatively expensive, and small manufacturers and after-sales service stations generally cannot afford them. For small manufacturers and service stations that lack vacuum filling equipment, two workers are usually needed to manually bleed the clutch system by repeatedly pressing the pedal.
[0003] Manual venting requires a lot of staff, and the process of stepping on the pedal to vent can easily cause leg fatigue, which is time-consuming and laborious. After manual venting, it is also impossible to determine whether the venting is complete. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0015] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example
[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic circulating venting mechanism for a clutch system hydraulic pipeline includes a cylinder 1, a pressure source 2, an electromagnetic directional valve 3, a clutch master cylinder, a clutch slave cylinder 4, and a battery 5. The clutch master cylinder includes a first clutch master cylinder 6 and a second clutch master cylinder 7. The battery 5 and the electromagnetic directional valve 3 are connected by a wire. A push-button switch 8 and a timer switch 9 are installed on the wire between the battery 5 and the electromagnetic directional valve 3. The electromagnetic directional valve 3 is a two-position three-way directional valve. During operation, the T port of the electromagnetic directional valve 3 is connected to an vent pipe 10, the P port is connected to the pressure source, and the A port is connected to the cylinder. The piston rod of the cylinder 1 is connected to the guide rod of the first clutch master cylinder 6 to push the piston of the first clutch master cylinder 6. The system also includes a first oil cup 11, a second oil cup 12, and a warning light 13. The first clutch master cylinder 6 and the first oil cup 11 are connected by a push-button switch 12. The first oil cup 11 is connected to the second clutch master cylinder 7 via a hydraulic line. The second clutch master cylinder 7 is connected to the clutch slave cylinder 4 and the clutch pedal 14. The second oil cup 12 is located on the hydraulic line between the clutch slave cylinder 4 and the first clutch master cylinder 6. A ball valve switch 15 is installed on the hydraulic line between the second oil cup 12 and the clutch slave cylinder 4. A clutch rocker arm 16 is installed at one end of the clutch slave cylinder 4. The battery 5 and the position sensor 17 are linearly connected. The position sensor 17 is connected to the end of the clutch rocker arm 16 according to the designed stroke of the clutch rocker arm 16 of the vehicle or the actual stroke of the clutch rocker arm 16 of the vehicle being repaired. One end of the warning light 13 is connected to the battery 5 and the other end is connected to the position sensor 17.
[0017] Open the drain port of clutch slave pump 4, connect one end of the hydraulic line to the drain port of clutch slave pump 4 to connect it to the vehicle pipeline, and put ball valve switch 15 in the open state. Fill the first oil cup 11 of the vehicle with oil. At this time, you can observe the oil slowly decreasing and flowing into the vehicle pipeline. When the oil in the vehicle pipeline flows into the second oil cup 12, fill the first oil cup 11 with oil again, and use the hydraulic line to seal and fix the first oil cup 11.
[0018] Based on the cylinder 1's actuation and return times, set the opening and closing times of the time control switch 9 and the duration of a single cycle. After setting, connect the battery 5 and press the button switch 8. At this time, the solenoid directional valve 3 starts to operate. The P port of the solenoid directional valve 3 is connected to the air pressure source 2, and the A port is connected to the cylinder 1. High-pressure gas enters the cylinder 1. The cylinder piston guide rod is connected to the guide rod of the first clutch master pump 6, pushing the piston of the first clutch master pump 6 and pushing the oil into the first oil cup 11, thereby pressurizing the entire vehicle pipeline and promoting the circulation of oil in the entire vehicle pipeline. After this action is completed, the solenoid directional valve 3 resets, the passage from the air pressure source 2 to the cylinder 1 is disconnected, and the air in the cylinder 1 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 10 through the T port. The piston rod of the cylinder 1 resets under the action of the first clutch master pump 6 and the cylinder return spring, realizing the intermittent gas supply to the cylinder 1 and completing the cylinder 1 ejection-reset cycle. Through the oil circulation, the gas in the pipeline is driven into the second oil cup 12 for discharge. One cycle of exhaust is completed. After completion, close the ball valve switch 15, depress the clutch pedal 14, and check if the warning light 13 is lit. If the warning light 13 is not lit, continue to open the ball valve switch 15 to circulate and vent. If the warning light 13 is lit, it indicates that the clutch rocker arm 16's stroke meets the design stroke, and the circulation and venting can be ended. Tighten the drain port of the clutch slave pump 4, and disconnect the pipeline connecting the other end of the clutch slave pump 4 to the first oil cup 11, allowing the oil to flow into the second oil cup 12 for recycling. After filling, disconnect the hydraulic pipeline and disconnect the pipeline connecting the position sensor 17 and the air pressure source 2. This mechanism can realize automatic venting of the hydraulic pipeline and detection indication of whether the venting is complete. Compared with the experience judgment of the staff, it is more accurate and reliable. At the same time, the structure is simple, the component cost of the mechanism is low, and it is easy to operate, which can reduce the labor intensity of the staff. It realizes the circulation and reuse of oil in the oil cup, solves the problem of oil pollution and leakage caused by manual oil draining, and can save oil.
