This design forms a set of high -efficient heat dissipation structure, and the cooling liquid that circulates in cooling pipe 6 can quickly take away the heat generated by magnetic sensing coil 4, and the heat is dissipated to the surrounding environment through heat exchange fin 5, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency, the clutch housing 2 is away from coil mounting bracket 3 one side and is equipped with ball bearing 7, the ball bearing 7 outside is equipped with driving disc 8, the driving disc 8 outside is equipped with ring gear 9, the ring gear 9 outside is equipped with rubber washer 10, the clutch housing 2 with driving disc 8 between being equipped with compression ring 11, the setting of rubber washer 10 can effectively buffer the vibration and impact in the process of power transmission, and the stability of power transmission is enhanced, and simultaneously rubber washer 10 and ring gear 9 are pasted, and rubber washer 10 effectively increases the friction between the drive belt and ring gear 9, and the phenomenon that the drive belt and ring gear 9 appear slip is avoided. Clutch housing 2 with driving disc 8 between being equipped with compression ring 11, and compression ring 11 plays the role of fixing and adjusting the position of driving disc 8, when magnetic sensing coil 4 works, magnetic sensing coil 4 generates magnetic force, and compression ring 11 is driven by magnetic sensing coil 4 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the working state of driving disc 8 can be controlled through compression ring 11.

[0019] The driving disc 8 is away from the compression ring 11 one side and is equipped with the front end cover 12, the front end cover 12 can seal the end of the driving disc 8, and dust and other impurities can be effectively prevented from entering the clutch.

[0020] The front end cover 12 and the ball bearing 7 are equipped with the first sealing ring 13.

[0021] The ball bearing 7 is away from the first sealing ring 13 one side and is equipped with the second sealing ring 14, and the first sealing ring 13 and the second sealing ring 14 can seal the two ends of the ball bearing 7, which can effectively prevent the leakage of lubricating oil and prevent foreign matters from entering the ball bearing 7, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the ball bearing 7.

[0024] In the scheme, the heat exchange fins 5 are copper plates, and the magnetic induction coil 4 of the clutch is wound with high-purity copper enameled wire, which can effectively reduce the coil resistance and improve the electromagnetic conversion efficiency; meanwhile, in the heat dissipation process, the copper wire can quickly transfer the heat generated by the coil to the surrounding environment. For the cooling pipe 6, a metal copper pipe is selected because of its good thermal conductivity, so that the cooling liquid can more efficiently absorb the surrounding heat when flowing in the pipe and take it away; in combination with the heat exchange fins 5, the efficiency of the entire heat dissipation system is further improved, so that the electromagnetic clutch can better maintain an appropriate temperature during operation and ensure stable operation.

[0025] Specifically, in the utility model, the cooling pipe 6 is inserted into the heat exchange fins 5 and extends to the outside of the clutch housing 2 through the coil mounting frame 3 at both ends. This design forms a set of efficient heat dissipation structure, the cooling liquid flowing in the cooling pipe 6 can quickly take away the heat generated by the magnetic induction coil 4, and the heat is dissipated to the surrounding environment through the heat exchange fins 5, greatly improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

When the automobile air conditioning system needs to start, the current passes through the magnetic induction coil 4, the magnetic induction coil 4 generates a magnetic field, the magnetic field repels the compression ring 11 to move to the side of the magnetic induction coil 4, the compression ring 11 pressurizes the driving disc 8, and through the mutual force between the compression ring 11 and the driving disc 8, the driving disc 8 can rotate under the drive of the external transmission assembly through the ring gear 9. The power is transmitted to the drive shaft 1 through the driving disc 8, and then drives the air conditioner compressor to work. In this process, due to the installation of the rubber gasket 10, the power transmission is more stable, the vibration and impact are reduced, and the stability of transmission is ensured. When the air conditioning system does not need to work, the current of the magnetic induction coil 4 is cut off, the magnetic field disappears, and the driving disc 8 is separated from the external power source under the action of the reset spring in the driving disc 8, so that the air conditioner compressor stops working.

[0026] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
