Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clutch lubrication flow control technology, specifically a wet clutch lubrication flow regulating mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A wet clutch is a type of clutch that uses oil for cooling, with all its friction components immersed in the oil. It has excellent heat dissipation and balanced power transmission. During operation, a dedicated flow regulation mechanism is used to adjust the lubrication flow, which avoids insufficient lubrication that would reduce heat dissipation and performance. Therefore, the dedicated flow regulation mechanism effectively ensures the stable normal operation of the wet clutch and extends its service life.
[0003] However, the existing lubrication flow regulation mechanism still has the following defects: Since the overall function of the current flow regulation mechanism is only to adjust the flow rate of the lubricating oil, the lubricating oil will change with temperature in different temperature scenarios (the oil will become thinner at high temperatures and thicker at low temperatures), which will ultimately affect the overall lubrication effect. Therefore, the current regulation mechanism cannot accurately control the temperature of the lubricating oil within a suitable range, thus reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a wet clutch lubrication flow regulating mechanism.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a wet clutch lubrication flow regulating mechanism, the structure of which includes: a fixed groove, a feed pipe, a guide pipe, an output end, and a regulating valve. The fixed groove is arranged on the left and right sides of the feed pipe and the center of the feed pipe coincides with that of the guide pipe. An output end is connected to the front end of the guide pipe, and a vertical regulating valve is arranged at the top of the guide pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the feed pipe is also equipped with an airtight outer shell. The upper and lower ends of the airtight outer shell are connected to support positioning columns to position the limiting frame. A flow channel is opened in the central area of the limiting frame. A temperature control sensor is installed on the inner wall of the limiting frame through the flow channel. An electric connecting block is connected to the outside of the temperature control sensor. The electric connecting block passes through the center of the auxiliary block. The auxiliary block is installed in the center of the external fixing groove of the airtight outer shell.
[0007] Furthermore, the position of the limiting frame is determined by the internal support positioning column of the airtight outer shell of the feed pipe. Then, the flow groove of the limiting frame coincides with the center of the guide pipe, allowing the lubricating oil to flow through the flow groove and come into contact with the temperature control sensor. The temperature control sensor monitors and controls the oil temperature. At the same time, the power-connecting blocks on the left and right sides of the temperature control sensor, together with the auxiliary blocks, are connected to the vehicle for power supply.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixed groove has one opening on each of the feed pipes on the left and right sides, and the surface is connected to the center of the output end through a guide pipe. The regulating valve intersects with the center of the top of the guide pipe in a vertical direction.
[0009] Furthermore, the airtight outer shell is equipped with support positioning columns at the upper and lower ends to set the position of the square limiting frame in a symmetrical manner, so that the center of the flow channel and the guide pipe overlap each other. The inner wall of the limiting frame is equipped with four sets of temperature control sensors. Then, the power lines in the limiting frame are electrically connected to the power connection blocks in the fixed groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the temperature sensor also has a solid shell, which covers the edge of the temperature control body and the lower end of the temperature control body is connected to a temperature sensor that communicates with the flow channel. The upper center of the solid shell is also connected to an insert conductive module, which passes through the center of the solid shell and is electrically connected to the temperature control body. On the left and right sides of the insert conductive module, there are also restraining blocks that are fixedly connected to the upper left and right sides of the solid shell.
[0011] Furthermore, the solid shell is rectangular in shape and matches the shape of the temperature controller. The lower end of the temperature controller is parallel to the temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is a rust-proof metal product that communicates with the flow channel. The restraining blocks on the left and right sides of the upper end of the solid shell are set in a symmetrical orientation.
[0012] Furthermore, the support positioning column is also provided with a fixing block. The fixing block is welded to the left and right sides of the vertical sleeve and the center of the vertical sleeve is penetrated by a sliding rod. A control block is fixed at the upper end of the sliding rod and a cover is fixed at the lower end of the sliding rod. A protrusion is connected to the center of the cover and is embedded parallel to the edge center of the limiting frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the fixing blocks are symmetrically positioned on the left and right sides of the vertical sleeve, and the center of the vertical sleeve intersects with the slide rod. The center of the top control block of the slide rod coincides with the center of the bottom cover through the slide rod and is on the same vertical line. Beneficial effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model, through further improvements to the internal structure of the feed pipe, determines the position of the support positioning column based on the airtight outer shell. Then, the support positioning column limits the position of the limiting frame, thereby improving the overlap accuracy between the limiting frame and the center of the output end. Furthermore, the internally mounted temperature control sensor can be electrically connected to the vehicle via a power-connecting block. This allows the stainless steel temperature sensor of the temperature control sensor to monitor the temperature of the lubricating oil in real time. If the temperature is found to be too high or too low, the temperature control body can be activated according to a safety procedure to change the overall temperature of the temperature sensor. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the oil from becoming thicker or thinner due to temperature changes, thus improving the practicality of the flow regulation structure, increasing the accuracy of oil temperature control, and extending the service life of the components.
[0016] 2. With the further improvement of the support positioning column, the fixed blocks on the left and right sides of the vertical sleeve can be installed parallel to the edge of the airtight shell. Then, the sliding rod in the center of the vertical sleeve can be manually driven by the top control block to slide the cover and the protrusion up and down. Therefore, the cover and the protrusion can be embedded in the edge area of the limiting frame in a vertical position for interlocking and fixed connection, so as to achieve the effect of detachability and improve the convenience of overall disassembly of the temperature control sensor built into the limiting frame.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a wet clutch lubrication flow regulating mechanism.
[0028] Its structure includes a fixed groove 1, a feed pipe 2, a guide pipe 3, an output end 4, and a regulating valve 5. The fixed groove 1 is set on the left and right sides of the feed pipe 2 and the center of the feed pipe 2 and the guide pipe 3 coincide. The output end 4 is connected to the front end of the guide pipe 3, and a vertical regulating valve 5 is set on the top of the guide pipe 3.
[0029] The feed pipe 2 is also provided with an airtight shell 21. The upper and lower ends of the airtight shell 21 are connected to support positioning columns 22 to position the limiting frame 23. The central area of the limiting frame 23 has a flow groove 24. A temperature control sensor 25 is installed on the inner wall of the limiting frame 23 through the flow groove 24. An electric connecting block 26 is connected to the outside of the temperature control sensor 25. The electric connecting block 26 passes through the center of the auxiliary block 27. The auxiliary block 27 is installed in the center of the external fixing groove 1 of the airtight shell 21.
[0030] The position of the limiting frame 23 is determined by the internal support positioning column 22 of the airtight outer shell 21 of the feed pipe 2. Then, the flow groove 24 of the limiting frame 23 coincides with the center of the guide pipe 3, allowing the lubricating oil to flow through the flow groove 24 and come into contact with the temperature control sensor 25. The temperature control sensor 25 monitors and controls the oil temperature. At the same time, the power-connecting blocks 26 on the left and right sides of the temperature control sensor 25, together with the auxiliary block 27, are connected to the vehicle for power connection.
[0031] The fixed groove 1 has one opening on each of the feed pipes 2 on the left and right sides, and the surface is connected to the center of the output end 4 through the guide pipe 3. The regulating valve 5 intersects with the center of the top of the guide pipe 3 in a vertical position.
[0032] The airtight outer shell 21 has support positioning columns 22 at the upper and lower ends inside, which are set in a symmetrical orientation to determine the position of the square limiting frame 23 so that the center of the flow channel 24 and the center of the guide pipe 3 overlap. The inner wall of the limiting frame 23 is equipped with four sets of temperature control sensors 25. Then, the power lines in the limiting frame 23 are electrically connected to the power connection block 26 in the fixed groove 1.
[0033] The temperature sensor 25 is further provided with a solid shell 251, which covers the edge of the temperature control body 252. The lower end of the temperature control body 252 is connected to a temperature sensor 253 that communicates with the flow channel 24. The upper center of the solid shell 251 is also connected to an inserted conductive module 254, which passes through the center of the solid shell 254 and is electrically connected to the temperature control body 252. On the left and right sides of the inserted conductive module 254, there are also restraining blocks 255 that are fixedly connected to the upper left and right sides of the solid shell 251.
[0034] The solid shell 251 is rectangular in shape and matches the shape of the temperature control body 252. The lower end of the temperature control body 252 is parallel to the temperature sensor 253, and the temperature sensor 253 is a rust-proof metal product that communicates with the flow channel 24. The restraining blocks 255 on the left and right sides of the upper end of the solid shell 251 are set in a symmetrical position.
[0035] The supporting positioning column 22 is also provided with a fixing block 221. The fixing block 221 is welded to the left and right sides of the vertical sleeve 222 and the center of the vertical sleeve 222 is penetrated by the slide rod 223. The upper end of the slide rod 223 is fixed with a control block 224, and the lower end of the slide rod 223 is fixed with a cover 225. A protrusion 226 is connected to the center of the cover 225 and is embedded parallel to the edge center of the limiting frame 23.
[0036] The fixing block 221 is set symmetrically on the left and right sides of the vertical sleeve 222, and the center of the vertical sleeve 222 intersects with the slide bar 223. The center of the top control block 224 of the slide bar 223 overlaps with the center of the bottom cover 225 through the slide bar 223 and is on the same vertical line.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is explained below: The feed pipe 2 of the wet clutch lubrication flow regulating mechanism can be fixed to the position of the vehicle clutch component through the fixing groove 1. Then, one end of the feed pipe 2 is connected to the lubricating oil tank, and the other end is connected to the guide pipe 3. For this purpose, lubricating oil is transmitted from the output end 4 through the feed pipe 2 and the guide pipe 3 to lubricate the clutch component. During the process, the regulating valve 5 at the upper end of the guide pipe 3 can be rotated by the vehicle's mechanical control, so that the output of lubricating oil is reduced when it enters the guide pipe 3, and the output of lubricating oil is increased when it exits. Therefore, the effect of controlling the flow of lubricating oil can be achieved. In addition, the support positioning column 22 inside the airtight outer shell 21 of the feed pipe 2 can... The position of the limiting frame 23 is fixed so that the flow groove 24 inside the limiting frame 23 is aligned with the center of the guide pipe 3. Then, the temperature control sensor 25 is installed through the cooperation of the flow groove 24. The temperature control sensor 25 will be in communication with the flow groove 24. Then, the auxiliary block 27 inside the fixing groove 1 of the airtight shell 21 and the power connection block 26 are used to complete the electrical connection with the vehicle. Therefore, the temperature control sensor 25 can monitor and control the temperature of the lubricating oil in the guide pipe 3 by receiving electrical energy and the monitoring and temperature control program set by the vehicle, so as to avoid the lubricating oil from becoming thick or thin due to high or low temperature. This improves the service life and stability of the overall components. The solid shell 251 of the temperature control sensor 25 can be opened through the top. The left and right restraint blocks 255 are vertically installed in the inner wall of the limiting frame 23, and the solid shell 251 covers the edge of the temperature controller 252 to prevent oil from entering the temperature controller 252 due to continuous contact with the oil and causing malfunctions. The temperature controller 252 can then monitor the temperature of the lubricating oil inside the flow channel 24 through the temperature sensor 253 at its lower end. Based on the properties of stainless steel, the oil temperature can be input into the temperature controller 252 through metal conduction. The temperature controller 252 then determines whether to start a heating or cooling program by comparing the received temperature data with the temperature control system program data. If the temperature control program is started, the temperature controller 252 will change the surface temperature of the temperature sensor 253 to input the set temperature into the oil. To ensure the oil temperature remains within a suitable range, during operation, the temperature controller 252 connects to the internal wiring of the limiting frame 23 via a conductive module 254 inserted through the center of the top of the solid shell 251. This ensures stable operation (the limiting frame 23 contains power lines and sockets for the conductive module 254 to be inserted and connected to the vehicle). The vertical sleeve 222 of the supporting positioning post 22 inside the limiting frame 23 is first fixed to the airtight shell 21 by a fixing block 221, allowing it to be set in a parallel position. The vertical sleeve 222 has a groove in its center, allowing the sliding rod 223 to slide up and down. Therefore, the sliding rod 223 can be manually adjusted up and down using the upper control block 224.Simultaneously, the bottom cover 225 and protrusion 226 are driven to embed into the center edge of the limiting frame 23, thus clamping or releasing the limiting frame 23 to achieve a detachable effect. This avoids the inability to remove the temperature sensor 25 and the limiting frame 23 for maintenance due to the integrated design, ensuring that the entire component can operate and be maintained in a stable state.
