AI Technical Summary
The existing push-plate clutch adjusting shims require all bolts to be removed when replacing them, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. In addition, the bolt hole structure makes it easy for the bolts to come out, affecting safety.
The bolt holes on the curved plate are designed with radial and circumferential U-shaped openings. The outer wall of the circumferential U-shaped opening is longer than the inner wall, and the inner wall is longer than the bolt radius. The bolt hole design allows the gasket to be replaced by loosening the bolt alone.
This allows for the replacement of adjusting shims without completely disassembling the bolts, improving maintenance efficiency, reducing downtime, and enhancing safety and convenience.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a clutch adjusting shim, and more particularly to a novel push-plate type air spring clutch adjusting shim. Background Technology
[0002] Pushplate clutches use adjusting shims, primarily to adjust the gap between the friction plates and the gear disc, making the friction tighter and reducing the likelihood of slippage or brake failure. Because the friction plates wear down and become thinner during long-term operation, shims are added or removed to control the clearance.
[0003] In the prior art, the adjusting shim has a circular hole to allow the bolt to pass through; this circular hole is a closed-loop structure (see...). Figure 2 and Figure 3 Adding or removing shims requires completely disassembling all the bolts to remove the shims, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a new type of push-plate air spring clutch adjustment shim that is reasonably designed, easy to disassemble and assemble, and saves effort and time.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0006] A novel push-plate type air spring clutch adjusting shim includes an arc-shaped plate with two bolt holes spaced apart on the arc-shaped plate. One bolt hole has a radial U-shaped opening, and the other bolt hole has a circumferential U-shaped opening.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the circumferential U-shaped opening is longer than the inner wall, and the length of the inner wall of the circumferential U-shaped opening is greater than the radius of the bolt, to prevent the bolt from coming out.
[0008] Furthermore, the multiple curved plates can be arranged to form a circle.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] 1. The bolt holes on the adjusting shims of this utility model are designed with open bolts, so there is no need to remove the bolts during maintenance. The adjusting shims can be removed or added simply by loosening the bolts. This saves labor and time, makes maintenance convenient, reduces downtime, and greatly improves efficiency.
[0011] 2. The opening length of the bolt hole in this utility model is greater than the radius of the bolt, which will not cause the adjusting shim to become disengaged from the bolt, thus ensuring good safety.
[0012] 3. This utility model has a reasonable design, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and saves time and effort. It has a wide range of applications, is easy to promote and implement, and has good economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the air spring clutch adjusting shim in the prior art;
[0015] Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the usage status of the air spring clutch adjusting shim.
[0016] Figure 4 The image shows a physical picture of the adjusting shim used in this utility model and the prior art. Detailed Implementation
[0017] Example: See Figure 1 -- Figure 4 In the figure, 1-arc-shaped plate, 2-bolt hole, 3-radial U-shaped opening, 4-circumferential U-shaped opening, 5-outer wall, 6-inner wall.
[0018] A novel push-plate type air spring clutch adjusting shim includes an arc-shaped plate 1 with two bolt holes 2 spaced apart on the arc-shaped plate 1. One bolt hole 2 has a radial U-shaped opening 3, and the other bolt hole 2 has a circumferential U-shaped opening 4.
[0019] Preferred solution: The outer side wall 5 of the circumferential U-shaped opening 4 is longer than the inner side wall 6, which facilitates the connection bolts. In addition, the length of the inner side wall 6 of the circumferential U-shaped opening 4 is greater than the radius of the bolt to prevent the bolt from coming out.
[0020] In use, multiple arc-shaped plates can be arranged into a circle. The specific number depends on the size of the clutch. First, loosen the clutch connecting bolts. Then, take one arc-shaped plate 1 and insert the circumferential U-shaped opening 4 so that one connecting bolt is inside the circumferential U-shaped opening 4. Then, insert the radial U-shaped opening so that the adjacent connecting bolt is inside the radial U-shaped opening 3. Continue in this manner until all arc-shaped plates 1 are installed. Finally, tighten the connecting bolts to form the entire clutch assembly. Because the circumferential U-shaped opening 4 is fitted with a connecting bolt, the adjusting shim will not come off during clutch operation.
[0021] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications made based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
