Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this disclosure relate to the field of clutch technology, and more specifically, to a high-efficiency heat-dissipating clutch cover. Background Technology

[0002] In many devices involving power transmission, such as automobiles and industrial machinery, the clutch is a key component that plays an important role in connecting or disconnecting power transmission. The clutch cover is one of the core components of the clutch system, and its performance has a decisive impact on the overall efficiency of the clutch.

[0003] Traditional clutch covers have revealed many problems during long-term use, especially in terms of heat dissipation. When the clutch is working, the cover and the driven plate frequently separate and engage. During this process, a large amount of heat is generated due to intense friction. Taking a car clutch as an example, in urban driving conditions with frequent gear shifts, the clutch may undergo hundreds of operations per hour. Each operation causes the cover and the driven plate to generate heat through friction. If this heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the temperature inside the clutch chamber will rise sharply. Research data shows that under some extreme conditions, the temperature inside the clutch chamber can reach over 200°C.

[0004] High temperatures pose significant risks to the clutch gland and the entire clutch system. On one hand, excessively high temperatures degrade the mechanical properties of the gland material. For example, metal glands may soften or deform at high temperatures, reducing their structural strength and stability. This, in turn, affects the clutch's clamping force and power transmission accuracy, and in severe cases, can even lead to gland rupture and clutch failure. On the other hand, high temperatures accelerate the wear of the clutch friction plates, deteriorating the performance of the friction material on the surface of the friction plates and reducing the coefficient of friction. This can cause the clutch to slip, affecting power transmission efficiency and increasing fuel consumption or energy loss. Furthermore, high temperatures also negatively impact internal clutch components such as seals and springs, shortening their lifespan and increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime.

[0005] With the development of modern industry, the requirements for equipment performance, reliability, and durability are becoming increasingly stringent. In the automotive industry, consumers have higher expectations for vehicle power performance, fuel economy, and driving safety. In the industrial sector, industrial machinery needs to operate stably under long-term, high-load conditions. To meet these ever-increasing demands, the development of highly efficient heat-dissipating clutch covers has become an inevitable trend. By optimizing the structural design of the cover, such as setting special heat dissipation grooves, improving sealing assembly components to reduce heat accumulation, and using materials with better heat dissipation performance, the heat dissipation capacity of the clutch cover can be effectively improved, the operating temperature can be reduced, thereby improving the overall performance and service life of the clutch and meeting the needs of various equipment for efficient and stable operation under complex conditions. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a high-efficiency heat dissipation clutch cover, which solves many problems exposed by the traditional clutch cover in the prior art during long-term use, especially the defects in heat dissipation. When the clutch is working, the cover and the driven plate frequently separate and engage. During this process, a large amount of heat is generated due to intense friction. Taking the car clutch as an example, in urban driving conditions with frequent gear shifts, the clutch may undergo hundreds of operations per hour. Each operation will cause the cover and the driven plate to generate heat through friction. If this heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, it will cause the temperature inside the clutch working chamber to rise sharply.

A stepped ring is provided inside the cover hole, and the pressure cover is fastened to the stepped ring. An insert plate is provided on the bottom surface of the pressure cover, and the insert plate is embedded inside the stepped ring. A heat dissipation groove is provided on the inner top of the pressure cover, and a connecting groove is provided on the bottom surface of the insert plate. The connecting groove is spliced ​​with the heat dissipation groove.

[0012] As a further technical solution, both the heat dissipation groove and the connecting groove are arc-shaped structures, and the number of heat dissipation grooves and the connecting grooves is several, with the multiple heat dissipation grooves and the multiple connecting grooves arranged evenly along a circle.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the sealing assembly includes an insert ring groove, which is formed on the insert plate. A sealing groove is provided on the lower end face of the insert plate, and a sealing strip is embedded in the sealing groove. The sealing strip is sealed and fitted with the stepped ring.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the sealing groove is circularly opened on the mounting plate, and the sealing groove is connected to each of the connecting grooves.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the upper surface of the pressure cover is provided with splicing pieces, and the number of splicing pieces is several, with multiple splicing pieces evenly distributed at the edge of the cover hole.

[0029] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0030] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0031] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them.

They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0034] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates a high-efficiency heat-dissipating clutch cover of this disclosure, comprising:

[0036] Pressure cover 1, with a pressure cap 2 at the upper end of pressure cover 1;

[0037] Assemble heat dissipation component 3, which is positioned between pressure cover 1 and pressure cap 2;

[0038] Sealing assembly 4 is disposed on pressure cover 1;

[0039] The heat dissipation assembly 3 includes a cover hole 3-1, which is located on the upper surface of the pressure cover 1. A stepped ring 3-2 is provided inside the cover hole 3-1. The pressure cover 2 is fastened onto the stepped ring 3-2. An insert plate 3-3 is provided on the bottom surface of the pressure cover 2. The insert plate 3-3 is embedded inside the stepped ring 3-2. A heat dissipation groove 3-4 is provided on the inner top of the pressure cover 1. A connecting groove 3-5 is provided on the bottom surface of the insert plate 3-3. The connecting groove 3-5 is spliced ​​with the heat dissipation groove 3-4.

[0040] The sealing assembly 4 includes an insert ring groove 4-1, which is opened on the insert plate 3-3. A sealing groove 4-2 is provided on the lower end face of the insert plate 3-3. A sealing strip 4-3 is embedded in the sealing groove 4-2, and the sealing strip 4-3 and the stepped ring 3-2 are sealed and fitted together.

[0041] In some examples, the stepped ring 3-2 is accurately installed inside the cover hole 3-1 on the upper end face of the pressure cover 1 to ensure a secure installation.

[0042] Align the mounting plate 3-3 on the bottom surface of the pressure cover 2 with the stepped ring 3-2, and slowly snap it down so that the mounting plate 3-3 is completely embedded in the stepped ring 3-2. At this time, the heat dissipation groove 3-4 on the top of the pressure cover 1 and the connecting groove 3-5 on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3-3 should be tightly spliced ​​together.

[0043] Embed the sealing strip 4-3 into the sealing groove 4-2 on the lower end face of the mounting plate 3-3, ensuring that the sealing strip 4-3 fits evenly and tightly in the sealing groove 4-2. Then, assemble the mounting plate 3-3 with the sealing strip 4-3 installed with the stepped ring 3-2, so that the sealing strip 4-3 and the stepped ring 3-2 are tightly sealed and fitted.

[0044] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes that both the heat dissipation groove 3-4 and the connecting groove 3-5 are arc-shaped structures, and the number of heat dissipation grooves 3-4 and connecting grooves 3-5 is several, with multiple heat dissipation grooves 3-4 and multiple connecting grooves 3-5 evenly arranged along a circle.

[0045] In some examples, the connecting slot 3-5 is joined with the heat dissipation slot 3-4 to form a complete heat dissipation channel.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sealing groove 4-2 is circularly opened on the mounting plate 3-3, and the sealing groove 4-2 is connected to each connecting groove 3-5.

[0047] In some examples, since the sealing groove 4-2 is connected to each connecting groove 3-5, care should be taken during installation to avoid squeezing or damaging the sealing strip 4-3 to ensure the integrity of the seal.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the pressure cover 1 is provided with splicing pieces 5, and there are several splicing pieces 5, which are evenly distributed at the edge of the cover hole 3-1.

[0049] In some examples, the splicing piece 5 is used to fix the cover 1, and a slot is formed inside the splicing piece for the fixed insertion of the cover 1.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the pressure cover 1 is provided with an insertion groove 6, which has a frustum-shaped structure.

[0051] In some examples, the pressure cover 1 is placed at the predetermined installation position of the clutch, and is initially positioned with the corresponding part of the clutch by the insertion slot 6 on the side wall of the pressure cover 1 or other positioning structures.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a positioning block 7 is provided on the upper end face of the pressure cover 1, and a positioning groove 8 is opened on the side wall of the positioning block 7. A positioning strip 9 is provided on the side wall of the pressure cover 2, and the positioning strip 9 is inserted into the positioning groove 8.

[0053] In some examples, the positioning strip 9 on the pressure cap 2 is aligned with the positioning groove 8 of the positioning block 7 on the pressure cover 1, and the positioning strip 9 is inserted to achieve precise positioning of the pressure cap 2 and the pressure cover 1.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, the pressure cap 2 is provided with a drive hole 10, which is a circular structure.

[0055] In some examples, an external drive unit (such as an engine output shaft) is connected to the clutch cover 2 through the drive hole 10 on the cover 2 to ensure a secure and reliable connection and stable power transmission.

[0056] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple splicing pieces 5 are arranged in groups of two, with the two splicing pieces 5 placed parallel to each other.

[0057] In use, the external drive device (such as the engine output shaft) is connected to the clutch cover 2 through the drive hole 10 on the cover 2, ensuring a firm and reliable connection and stable power transmission. After all connections and installation checks are completed and correct, the clutch-related equipment is started (such as starting a vehicle engine or starting the power system of industrial machinery). At this time, the clutch cover 2 will work with the operation of the drive device. Through the interaction between the cover 1 and the cover 2, the clutch clamping and disengaging actions are realized, thereby controlling the transmission and interruption of power.

[0058] Clean the clutch cover 2 at regular intervals (such as when a vehicle travels a certain distance or an industrial equipment operates for a certain period of time). Use compressed air or a special cleaning agent to remove dust, oil, and impurities from the surfaces of the heat dissipation slots 3-4, connecting slots 3-5, cover 1, and cover 2 to keep the heat dissipation channels unobstructed and maintain good heat dissipation performance.

[0059] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
