Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan clutch technology, specifically a low-energy two-speed fan clutch. Background Technology
[0002] A fan clutch is a device that automatically adjusts the fan speed according to changes in engine temperature. It not only allows the engine to operate at the most suitable temperature, but also shortens the warm-up time and improves the engine's effective power.
[0003] According to publication number CN214367370U, a spring-buffered two-speed electromagnetic fan clutch includes an electromagnetic fan clutch comprising a main shaft and a driven plate. The driven plate is connected to the main shaft via bearings. A fan is mounted on the outer ring of the driven plate, and an iron core is mounted inside the cavity of the driven plate. The iron core is connected to the main shaft via bearings. A drive plate is mounted at the front end of the driven plate, and a friction plate fixing plate is mounted at the rear end of the drive plate. A spring-buffered device is mounted on the drive plate. This device can prevent fan breakage or premature failure of electromagnetic clutch components caused by crankshaft torsional vibration or engine vibration, and also reduces the impact on the engine front-end gear train when the fan clutch is engaged.
[0004] The aforementioned spring buffer device and other structures prevent fan breakage and reduce impact. However, after the structure is fixed and installed with nuts, the spindle and nuts are exposed to the outside environment. During use, dust or liquid can easily adhere to them, which can affect the installation and removal of the nuts and make them prone to damage. Utility Model Content

[0025] Align the positioning block 4 with the mounting groove 2, push the protective cover 7 downwards, and rotate the upper housing 1 after the positioning block 4 contacts the upper housing 1. This allows the positioning block 4 to enter the positioning groove 3, while the threaded groove 5 and threaded hole 6 align. Rotate the fastening bolt 9 so that it rotates in the threaded hole 6 and is screwed into the threaded groove 5, thereby fixing the protective cover 7 onto the upper housing 1. This protects the connecting bolts and nuts 19, extending their service life. A sealing gasket 8 is provided between the protective cover 7 and the upper housing 1 to ensure the sealing of the connection and prevent external dust or liquid from entering.
[0026] Multiple heat dissipation fins 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the upper housing 1, and four connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the upper housing 1. A mounting hole 12 is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 11.
[0027] By providing multiple heat dissipation fins 10 on the upper housing 1, the internal heat is dissipated through the heat dissipation fins 10 when the spindle 16 is working, so as to ensure that it is at a normal temperature and extend the service life of the parts.
[0028] A connecting plate 11 is provided on the upper housing 1, and mounting holes 12 and 27 are aligned. In case of bearing damage, the positions of the connecting plate 11 and the lower housing 20 can be fixed by screws to ensure the normal use of the clutch.
[0029] A pad 13 is provided at the bottom of the upper housing 1, and a heat sink 14 is provided at the bottom of the pad 13. A screw 15 is threadedly connected between the heat sink 14 and the upper housing 1.
[0030] The upper housing 1 has a main shaft 16 inside. The bottom of the main shaft 16 is fixedly connected to a flange 17, and the top of the main shaft 16 is fixedly connected to a connecting screw 18. The surface of the connecting screw 18 is threaded with a nut 19.
[0031] The surface of the spindle 16 is provided with a lower housing 20, the top of the lower housing 20 is provided with an electromagnetic coil 21, the interior of the lower housing 20 is provided with a bearing 22, an O-ring 23 is provided between the bearing 22 and the lower housing 20, and a connecting wire 24 is provided at the bottom of the electromagnetic coil 21. The connecting wire 24 passes through the lower housing 20 and is fixedly connected to an interface 25 at one end.
[0032] The lower housing 20 has a driven plate 26 on its top. The surface of the driven plate 26 has four mounting holes 27. The mounting holes 27 and the mounting holes 12 are located on the same axis and are compatible in shape and size. The bottom of the driven plate 26 has a groove 28. The lower housing 20 is engaged inside the groove 28. A bearing 29 is provided between the driven plate 26 and the main shaft 16.
[0033] A suction plate 30 is provided on the surface of the spindle 16, and a flat spring plate 32 is provided on the top of the suction plate 30.

[0034] Connected to an external power supply via interface 25 and connecting cable 24, when the water temperature is low, the main shaft 16 drives the active disc 33 and the suction disc 30 to rotate, and the driven disc 26 embedded with a permanent magnet attracts the suction disc 30, thereby causing the driven disc 26 and the fan mounted on the lower housing 20 to rotate at low speed. When the water temperature is high, when the electromagnetic coil 21 is energized, a magnetic field is formed around the electromagnetic coil 21, and the magnetic field force causes the suction disc 30 and the driven disc 26 to attract, thereby driving the fan to rotate at full speed, realizing two-stage speed change of the fan and reducing energy consumption.
[0035] This utility model provides a low-energy-consumption two-speed fan clutch, the specific working principle of which is as follows:
[0036] In use, align the positioning block 4 with the mounting slot 2, push the protective cover 7 downwards, and rotate the upper housing 1 after the positioning block 4 contacts the upper housing 1. This allows the positioning block 4 to enter the positioning slot 3, while the threaded slot 5 and threaded hole 6 align. Rotate the fastening bolt 9, which rotates in the threaded hole 6 and screws into the threaded slot 5, thus fixing the protective cover 7 onto the upper housing 1. When the engine starts working and the water temperature is low, the main shaft 16 drives the active disc 33 and the suction disc 30 to rotate, and attracts the suction disc 30 through the driven disc 26 embedded with a permanent magnet. This causes the driven disc 26 and the fan mounted on the lower housing 20 to rotate at low speed. When the water temperature is high, when the electromagnetic coil 21 is energized, a magnetic field is formed around the electromagnetic coil 21, and the magnetic force causes the suction disc 30 and the driven disc 26 to attract, thereby driving the fan to rotate at full speed.
