Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clutch outer hub technology, and in particular relates to a high-strength outer hub. Background Technology
[0002] The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear surface of the flywheel with screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During vehicle operation, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate and gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power input from the engine to the transmission. Existing clutch outer hubs mostly adopt integral casting or welding structures, which have the following problems under high-speed rotation and high torque transmission conditions: the connection structure is too rigid, lacks buffering capacity, and is prone to stress concentration.
