[0002] In the automotive manufacturing and testing process, different models and specifications of transmissions have diverse requirements for the assembly position of the clutch assembly. This is because different vehicle models have different design philosophies, power requirements, and transmission system layouts, resulting in variations in the internal structure of the transmission and the cooperation between the clutch assembly and the transmission. For example, some high-performance sports vehicles may require a more compact assembly position for the clutch assembly to achieve faster power response; while some large commercial vehicles may require the clutch assembly to ensure sufficient friction and stability in a specific location due to the large torque transmitted.

[0003] After each transmission assembly is assembled, it must undergo factory testing to check whether it meets the factory requirements. However, most common testing equipment uses a fixed structure, meaning that once assembled, the position of the clutch assembly relative to the transmission is difficult to adjust. When dealing with transmissions with different assembly position requirements, on the one hand, it is often necessary to redesign and manufacture special assembly fixtures or carry out large-scale modifications to the production line, which not only increases production costs but also seriously affects production efficiency. On the other hand, it is necessary to disassemble a large number of related parts, reprocess or replace the assembly base, and then carry out complex debugging and calibration work. The whole process is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also requires a high level of skill from the operators. The slightest carelessness may lead to assembly errors, which in turn affect the performance and quality of the transmission. Utility Model Content

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "horizontal," or "inner" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] Furthermore, the use of the term "horizontal" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] To address the technical deficiencies mentioned in the background section, this embodiment provides a clutch assembly and gearbox assembly position adjustment mechanism. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: like Figures 1-6As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a base plate 9, which is a horizontal structure laid flat on the ground; an adjustment device is located on the top of the base plate 9, and an adjustable panel 3 is connected to the adjustment device. The adjustment device is used to adjust the position of the adjustable panel 3 along the length of the base plate 9; a fixed-axis rotating device is arranged opposite to the adjustment device, and its end extends into the adjustable panel 3 for mounting the clutch assembly 2. The fixed-axis rotating device is also connected to a controller via a connecting line, and the controller is used to control the opening or closing of the adjustment device and the fixed-axis rotating device; the adjustable panel 3 is used to mount the gearbox 10. In the assembly operation of the clutch assembly 2 and the gearbox 10, according to the manufacturer's requirements, a specified assembly distance value (initial separation position) between the gearbox 10 and the clutch assembly 2 is designed. Based on this assembly distance value, the adjustment distance of the adjustment device is set on the controller. Subsequently, the controller controls the adjustment device to drive the adjustable panel 3 to move so that the assembly distance between the gearbox 10 and the clutch assembly 2 in the adjustable panel 3 meets the requirements.

[0026] In actual production, different models and specifications of gearboxes 10 have different requirements for the assembly position of clutch assembly 2. This adjustment mechanism, through the cooperation of the adjustment device and the adjustable panel 3, can flexibly change the assembly position of clutch assembly 2 in gearbox 10, thereby adapting to a variety of different design requirements. It eliminates the need to design new assembly fixtures for each gearbox 10, enhances the adaptability of the assembly process, and solves the defects of the existing technology.

[0027] Furthermore, in the solution, the adjustment device includes symmetrically arranged guide units, the adjustment unit is located between the two guide units, and the adjustable panel 3 is slidably connected to the two guide units, with its bottom fixedly connected to the adjustment unit. The adjustment unit can be a linear servo motor 7.

[0028] The symmetrically arranged guide units provide stable and symmetrical support and guidance for the adjustable panel 3. During the adjustment process, when the adjustable panel 3 moves in a straight line along the guide units, the symmetrical structure can effectively prevent the adjustable panel 3 from tilting, getting stuck or shaking during the movement.

[0029] Specifically, in one embodiment, the guide unit is a slide rail 8; in another embodiment, the guide unit is a slide groove. The slide rail 8 or slide groove can provide precise linear guidance for the adjustable panel 3. When adjusting the assembly position of the clutch assembly 2 and the gearbox 10, the slide rail 8 or slide groove makes the friction force on the adjustable panel 3 uniform and small during the movement, and the movement is smooth and stable. This not only reduces the jamming phenomenon during the adjustment process and improves the operating experience, but also reduces the vibration and noise caused by unstable movement, which has a positive effect on improving the working performance and service life of the entire assembly mechanism.

[0030] Furthermore, the axial perpendicularity between the adjustable panel 3 and the guide unit extends the service life of both the guide unit and the adjustable panel 3, reducing the equipment failure rate. At the same time, the vertical design also reduces heat generated by friction, preventing equipment performance degradation due to overheating and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the adjustment mechanism.

[0031] In practice, the adjustable panel 3 has mounting holes 301, and the test disc 1 of the gearbox 10 is placed in the mounting holes 301. The bottom of the adjustable panel 3 is connected to a fixing plate 302, and a support plate 303 is connected between the fixing plate 302 and the adjustable panel 3. The support plate 303 has a triangular structure. During the adjustment process, the adjustable panel 3 needs to bear the weight of the clutch assembly 2 and the force applied by the adjustment unit. These forces will be concentrated at the part where the adjustable panel 3 is connected to the adjustment unit. The fixing plate 302 is connected to the adjustable panel 3 through the support plate 303, which can distribute the force borne by the adjustable panel 3 to the fixing plate 302, making the stress on the entire structure more uniform, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the adjustable panel 3 and avoiding deformation or damage to the adjustable panel 3 due to excessive local stress.

[0032] Furthermore, the fixed-axis rotation device includes a bracket 6, which is fixed to the top of the base plate 9. The fixed-axis rotation drive unit is located on the top of the bracket 6, and a connector 4 is installed at its end. The connector 4 is used to install the clutch assembly 2. The fixed-axis rotation drive unit is a servo motor 5.

[0033] See Figures 3-5 , Figure 3 The initial distance between the clutch assembly 2 and the test disc 1 in the gearbox 10 before assembly is shown. After obtaining the assembly distance value based on the assembly requirements of the gearbox 10, the controller drives the adjustment device to move the adjustable panel 3 toward the clutch assembly 2. When it moves to the required position, the adjustment device stops, and the fixed shaft rotation device drives the clutch assembly 2 to complete the matching test with the test disc 1 by rotation. It is worth noting that multiple claws are arranged circumferentially at the edge of the mounting hole 301. The ends of the claws can firmly fix the gearbox 10 in the adjustable panel 3, ensuring the reliability of the assembly.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit its protection scope. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that after reading this utility model, they can still make various changes, modifications or equivalent substitutions to the specific implementation of the utility model, but these changes, modifications or equivalent substitutions are all within the protection scope of the pending claims of the utility model.
