Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clutch assembly, specifically an auxiliary tooling for clutch assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A wet clutch is a device that uses friction between friction plates to transmit or disconnect power.

[0003] When the hydraulic system applies pressure to the working chamber of the clutch, the piston pushes the pressure plate to apply pressure to the friction plate, causing friction between the driving plate and the driven plate, thereby transmitting power from the driving part to the driven part.

[0004] When the hydraulic pressure is released, the pressure plate returns to its original position, the pressure between the friction plates disappears, the clutch is disengaged, and the power transmission is cut off.

[0005] The structure of a wet clutch includes:

[0006] The driving part typically includes a drive shaft connected to the engine crankshaft and a drive plate fixedly connected to the drive shaft. The outer edge of the drive plate usually has a spline or gear structure for meshing with the driven plate of the driven part.

[0007] Driven part: mainly composed of driven shaft, driven plate, etc. The inner edge of the driven plate also has a corresponding spline or gear structure, which cooperates with the driving plate. The driven shaft is connected to the subsequent drive shaft or gear through splines, etc., to transmit power to the place where it is needed.

[0008] Clamping mechanism: It is generally composed of hydraulic cylinder, piston, pressure plate, etc. The hydraulic system composed of hydraulic cylinder and piston is used to generate clamping force, and the pressure plate transmits the pressure generated by the hydraulic system to the friction plate, so that the friction plate is tightly attached to each other.

[0009] Control mechanism: Primarily consists of solenoid valves, control valves, etc., used to control the flow and pressure of hydraulic oil, thereby enabling clutch engagement and disengagement. The control mechanism is typically connected to the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU), precisely controlling the clutch operation based on the driver's intentions and the vehicle's operating status.

[0010] Currently, the assembly of a clutch generally involves placing the clutch housing on an assembly table and manually placing the remaining clutch components into the clutch housing in sequence and according to their corresponding mounting surfaces to complete the assembly.

[0011] During the assembly process, the clutch discs need to be manually handled. Due to different working conditions, there may be instances where clutch discs are missed or handled incorrectly. Additionally, the corresponding mounting surfaces of the clutch discs need to be adjusted during assembly, which can easily affect the clutch assembly. Utility Model Content

[0092] Each set of 235 adjustable suction cup units includes:

[0093] A suction slide rail 232 is installed on the side of the suction connecting frame 231, and a suction slider is adapted on the suction slide rail 232;

[0100] Working principle description: During operation, the three-axis motion unit 21 works to move the suction unit 23 to the clutch plate-shaped device to be picked up. The adjusting cylinder 239 drives the suction movable plate 233 to rise and fall, which in turn drives the suction arm 234 to move along the guide rod 237. The spacing of multiple suction arms 234 is adjusted to complete the suction position adjustment of the suction cup 235.

The suction cup 235 picks up the device. When the clutch disc-shaped device needs to be flipped, the lifting cylinder 238 moves the clutch disc-shaped device to a predetermined height. Then, the closing motor 221B drives the closing wheel 221C to rotate, which in turn drives the closing drive belt 221D to move. This moves the motion frame 222A to the edge of the clutch disc-shaped device. The flipping cylinder then drives the telescopic rod 222E1 to move, which in turn moves the clamping arm 222E3 closer to the device, thus clamping the clutch disc-shaped device. The flipping motor 222B then drives the flipping drive belt 222C and the flipping drive wheel 222D to rotate, which in turn rotates the rotating shaft and flips the clamping arm 222E3, thus flipping the clutch disc-shaped device. Finally, the three-axis motion unit 21 places the clutch disc-shaped device onto the placement frame 3 for assembly workers to use in assembly.
