Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive clutches, and in particular to an automotive clutch that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] A search of Chinese patents revealed publication number CN217048278U, entitled "An Easy-to-Install Automotive Clutch," relating to the field of automotive clutches. This easy-to-install automotive clutch includes a flywheel disc and a clutch cover. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the side wall of the flywheel disc, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the front of the protrusion. A locking nut is threaded onto the threaded rod. A side plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the flywheel disc, and a hollow locking block is fixedly connected to the front of the side plate. Two sets of wedge-shaped locking blocks are slidably connected inside the hollow locking block. This easy-to-install automotive clutch utilizes the wedge-shaped locking blocks to temporarily position the connecting plate, facilitating the locking and fixing of the flywheel disc and clutch cover during installation. This prevents the flywheel disc and clutch cover from easily coming loose after being fitted together, and facilitates the tightening of the locking nut. This results in a simple, time-saving, and labor-saving installation and fixing of the flywheel disc and clutch cover.
[0003] Existing clutches are inconvenient to install and disassemble. Typically, the clutch flywheel and clutch cover are fixed together with multiple bolts, requiring tools for disassembly and assembly. This process is cumbersome, increases workload, reduces efficiency, and makes them inconvenient to use. Furthermore, the pressure of the pressure plate cannot be adjusted. Over time, wear occurs between the pressure plate and friction plates, altering the pressure and leading to insufficient friction, reduced power transmission efficiency, and slippage. This affects clutch stability and makes them unusable. To address these problems, we propose an easy-to-install automotive clutch. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-install automotive clutch, which has the advantages of being easy to install and remove and having adjustable pressure on the pressure plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting positioning strips, it is easy to install the clutch cover and facilitate installation.
[0021] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. This utility model uses a movable pull block to disengage the locking rod from the locking hole, and the fixing rod disengages from the fixing hole under the action of the second spring. When the clutch cover is removed, it is installed into the fixing ring. The fixing rod is moved to engage with the fixing hole, and the locking rod engages with the locking hole under the action of the first spring, thus fixing it. This achieves the purpose of making it inconvenient to install and disassemble, reducing the workload and improving work efficiency.
[0023] 2. This utility model, by loosening the fixing screws and rotating the rotating shell, causes the gear ring to rotate, which in turn causes the screw to rotate, moving the sliding plate.
