CLUTCHThe engine produces the power to drive the vehicle. The drive line or drive train transfers the power of the engine to the wheels. The drive train consists of the parts from the back of the flywh eel to the wheels. These parts include the clutch, th e transmission, the drive shaft, and the final drive assembly (Figure 8-1).The clutch which includes the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, springs, pressure plate cover and the linkage necessary to operate the clutch is a rotating mechanism between t he engine and the transmission (Figure 8-2). It operates through friction which comes from contact between the parts. That is the reason why the clutch is called a friction mechanism. After engagement, the clutch must continue to transmit all the engine torque to the transmission depending on the friction without slippage. The clutch is also used to disengage the engine from the drive train whenever the gears in the transmission are being shifted from one gear ratio to another.To start the engine or shift the gears, the driver has to depress the clutch pedal with the purpose of disengagement the transmission from the engine. At that time, the driven members connected to the transmission input shaft are either stationary or rotating at a speed that is slower or faster than the driving members connected to the engine crankshaft. There is no spring pressure on the clutch assembly parts. So there is no friction between the driving members and driven members. As the driver lets loose the clutch pedal, spring pre ssure increases on the clutch parts. Friction between the parts also increases. The pressure exerted by the springs on the driven members is controlled by the driver through the clutch pedal and linkage. The positive engagement of the driving and driven members is made possible by the friction between the surfaces of the members. When full spring pressure is applied, the speed of the driving and driven members should be the same. At themoment, the clutch must act as a solid coupling device and transmit al l engine power to the transmission, without slipping.However, the transmission should be engaged to the engine gradually in order to operate the car smoothly and minimize torsional shock on the drive train because an engine at idle just develops little power. Otherwise, the driving members are connected with the driven members too quickly and the engine would be stalled.The flywheel is a major part of the clutch. The flywheel mounts to the engine’s crankshaft and transmits engine torque to the clutch assembly. The flywheel, when coupled with the clutch disc and pressure plate makes and breaks the flow of power from the engine to the transmission.The flywheel provides a mounting location for the clutch assembly as well. When the clutch is applied, the flyw heel transfers engine torque to the clutch disc. Because of its weight, the flywheel helps to smooth engine operation. The flywheel also has a large ring gear at its outer edge, which engages with a pinion gear on the starter motor during engine cranking.The clutch disc fits between the flywheel and the pressure plate. The clutch disc has a splined hub that fits over splines on the transmission input shaft. A splined hub has grooves that match splines on the shaft. These splines fit in the grooves. Thus, t he two parts are held together. However, back-and-forth movement of the disc on the shaft is possible. Attached to the input shaft, At disc turns at the speed of the shaft.The clutch pressure plate is generally made of cast iron. It is round and about the same diameter as the clutch disc. One side of the pressure plate is machined smooth. This side will press th e clutch disc facing are against the flywheel. The outer side has various shapes to facilitate attachment of spring and release mechanisms. The two primary types of pressure plate assemblies are coil spri ng assembly and diaphragmspring (Figure 8-3).In a coil spring clutch the pressure plate is backed by a number of coil springs and housed with them in a pressed-steel cover bolted to the flywheel. The springs push against the cover. Neither the driven plate nor the pressure plate is connected rigidly to the flywheel and both can move either towards it or away. When the clutch pedal is depressed a thrust pad riding on a carbon or ball thrust bearing i s forced towards the flywheel. Levers pivoted so that they engage with the thrust pad at one end and the pressure plate at the other end pull the pressure plate back against its springs. This releases pressure on the driven plate disconnecting the gearbox from the engine (Figure 8-4).Diaphragm spring pressure plate assemblies are widely used in most modern cars. The diaphragm spring is a single thin sheet of metal which yields when pressure is applied to it. When pressure is removed the metal springs back to its original shape. The centre portion of the diaphragm spring is slit into numerous fingers that act as release levers. When the clutch assembly rotates with the engine these weights are flung outwards by centrifugal forces and cause the levers to pre ss against the pressure plate. During disengagement of the clutch the fingers are moved forward by the release bearing. The spring pivots over the fulcrum ring and its outer rim moves away from the flywheel. The retracting spring pulls the pressure plate a way from the clutch plate thus disengaging the clutch (Figure 8-5).When engaged the release bearing and the fingers of the diaphragm spring move towards the transmission. As the diaphragm pivots over the pivot ring its outer rim forces the pressure plate against the clutch disc so that the clutch plate is engaged to the flywheel.The advantages of a diaphragm type pres sure plate assembly are its compactness, lower weight, fewer moving parts, less effort to en gage, reduces rotational imbalance by providin g a balanced force around the pressure plate and less chances of clutch slippage.The clutch pedal is connected to the disengagement mechanism either by a cable or, more com monly, by a hydraulic system. Either way, pushing the pedal down operates the dise ngagement mechanism which puts pressure on the fingers of the clutch diaphragm via a release bearing and causes the diaphragm to release the clutch plate. With a hydraulic mechanism, the clutch pedal arm operates a piston in the clutch master cylinder. Thi s forces hydraulic fluid through a pipe to the clutch release cylinder where another piston operates the clutch disengagement mechanism. The alternative is to link the clutch pedal to the disengagement mechanism by a cable.The other parts including the cl utch fork, release bearing, bell-housing, bell housing cover, and pilot bushing are needed to couple and uncouple the transmission. The clutch fork, which connects to the linkage, actually operates the clutch. The release bearing fits between the clutch fork and the pressure plate assembly. The bell housing covers the clutch assembly. The bell housing c over fastens to the bottom of the bell housing. This removable cover allows a mechanic to inspect the clutch without removing the transmission and bell housing. A pilot bushing fits into the back of th e crankshaft and holds the transmission input shaft.Torque ConverterThe BasicsJust like manual transmission cars, cars with automatic transmissions need a way to let the en gine turn while the wheels and gears in the transmission come to a stop. Manual transmission cars use a clutch, which completely disconnects the engine from the transmission. Automatic transmis sion cars use a torque converter.A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling, which allows the engine to spin somewhat independently of the transmission. If the engine is turning slowly, such as when the car is idling at a stoplight,the amount of torque passed through the torque converter is very small, so keeping the car still requires only a li ght pressure on the brake pedal.If you were to step on the gas pedal while the car is stopped, you would have to press harder on the brake to keep the car from moving. This is because when you step on the gas, the engine speeds up and pumps more fluid into the torque converter, causing more torque to be transmitted to the wheels.Inside a Torque ConverterThere are four components inside the very strong housing of the torque converter:1. Pump;2. Turbine;3. Stator;4. Transmission fluid.The housing of the torque converter is bolted to the flywheel of the engine, so it turns at what ever speed the engine is running at. The fins that make up the pump of the torque converter are at tached to the housing, so they also turn at the same speed as the engine. The cutaway below shows how everything is connected inside the torque converter (Figure 8-6).The pump inside a torque converter is a type of centrifugal pump. As it spins, fluid is flung to the outside, much as the spin cycle of a washing machine flings water and clothes to the outside of the wash tub. As fluid is flung to the outside, a vacuum is created that draws more fluid in at the center.The fluid then enters the blades of the turbine, which is connected to the transmission. The turbine causes the transmission to spin, which basically moves the car. The blades of the turbine are curved. This means that the fluid, which enters the turbine from the outside, has to change direction before it exits the center of the turbine. It is this directional change that causes the turbine to spin.The fluid exits the turbine at the center, moving in a different direction than when it entered. The fluid exits the turbine moving opposite the direction that the pump (and engine) is turning. If the fluid were allowed to hit the pump, it would slow the engine down, wasting power. This is why a torque converter has a stator.The stator resides in the very center of the torque converter. Its job is to redirect the fluid returning from the turbine before it hits the pump again. This dramatically increases the efficiency of the torque converter.The stator has a very aggressive blade design that almost completely reverses the direction of the fluid. A one-way clutch (inside the stator) connects the stator to a fixed shaft i n the transmission. Because of this arrangement, the stator cannot spin with the fluid - i tc a n s p i n o n l y i n t h e o p p o s i t ed i re c t i o n,f o r c i ng th e f l ui d t oc h a n g ed i re c t i o n a s i t h i t s t h e s t a t o r b l a d e s.Something a little bit tricky happens when the car gets moving. There is a point, around 40 mph (64 kph), at which both the pump and the turbine are spinning at almost the same speed (the pump always spins slightly faster). At this point, the fluid returns from the turbine, entering the pump already moving in the same direction as the pump, so the stator is not needed.Even though the turbine changes the direction of the fluid and flings it out the back, the fluid still ends up moving in the direction that the turbine is spinning because the turbine is spinning faster in one direction than the fluid is being pumped in the other direction. If you were standing in the back of a pickup moving at 60 mph, and you threw a ball out the back of that pickup at 40 mph, the ball would still be going forward at 20 mph. This is similar to what happens in the tur bine: The fluid is being flung out the back in one direction, but not as fast as it was going to start with in the other direction.At these speeds, the fluid actually strikes the back sides of the stator blades, causing the stator to freewheel on its one-way clutch so it doesn’t hinder the fluid moving through it.Benefits and Weak PointsIn addition to the very important job of allowing a car come to a complete stop without stalling the engine; the torque converter a ctually gives the car more torque when you accelerate out of a Stop. Modern torque converters can multiply the torque of the engine by two to three times. This effect only happens when the engine is turning much faster than the transmission.At higher speeds, the transmission catches up to the engine, eventually moving at almost the same speed. Ideally, though, the transmission would move at exactly the same speed as the engine, because this difference in speed wastes power. This is part of the reason why cars with automatic transmissions get worse gas mileage than cars with manual transmissions.To counter this effect, some cars have a torque converter with a lockup clutch. When the two halves of the torque converter get up to speed, this clutch locks them together, eliminating the slip page and improving efficiency.离合器发动机产生动力用以驱动车辆。

中英文对照资料外文翻译文献Transmission SystemA Basic Parts of the transmission systemThe transmission system applies to the components needed to transfer the drive from the engine to the road wheels. The main components and their purposes are (1) Clutch --- to disengage the drive--- to provide a smooth take-up of the drive(2) Gearbox --- to increase the torque applied to the driving road wheels--- to enable the engine to operate within a given range of speed irrespective of the vehicle speed--- to give reverse motion of the vehicle--- to provide a neutral position so that the engine can run without moving the vehicle(3) Final drive --- to turn the drive through 90°--- to reduce the speed of the drive by a set amount to match the engine to the vehicle(4) Differential --- to allow the inner driving road wheel to rotate slower than the outerwheel when the vehicle is cornering, whilst it ensures that adrive is applied equally to both wheels.B Clutch and Clutch ServiceIn order to transmit the power of the engine to the road wheels of a car, a friction clutch and a change-speed gearbox are normally employed. The former is necessary in order to enable the drive to be taken up gradually and smoothly, while the latter provides different ratios of speed reduction from the engine to the wheels, to suit the particular conditions of running,A clutch performs two tasks:(1) it disengages the engine from the gearbox to allow for gear changing.(2) it is a means for gradually engaging the engine to the driving wheels, when a vehicle is to be moved from rest the clutch must engage a stationary gearbox shaft with the engine; this must be rotating at a high speed to provide sufficient power or else the load will be too great and the engine will start (come to test).C Clutch ActionTo start the engine, the driver must depress the clutch pedal. This disengages the gearbox from the engine. To move the car, the driver must reengage the gearbox to the engine. However, the engagement of the parts must be gradual. An engine at idle develops little power. If the two parts were connected too quickly, the engine would stall. The load must be applied gradually to operate the car smoothly.A driver depresses the clutch pedal to shift the gears inside the gearbox. After the driver releases the clutch pedal, the clutch must act as solid coupling device. It must transmit all engine power to the gearbox, without slipping.The clutch mechanism include three basic parts: driving member, driven member, operating members.●The driving memberThe driving member consists of two parts: the flywheel and the pressure plate. The flywheel is bolted directly to the engine crankshaft and rotates when the crankshaft turns. The pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel. The result is that both flywheel and pressure plate rotate together.●The driven memberThe driven member, or clutch disc, is located between the flywheel and pressure plate. The disc has a splined hub that locks to the splined input shaft on the gearbox .Any rotation of the clutch disc turns the input shaft .Likewise, any motion of the input shaft moves the clutch disc. The splines allow the clutch disc to move forward and backward on the shaft as it engages and disengages.The inner part of the clutch disc, called the hub flange, has a number of small coil springs. These springs are called torsional springs. They let the middle part of theclutch disc turn slightly on the hub. Thus, the springs absorb the torsional vibrations of the crankshaft. When the springs have compressed completely, the clutch moves back until the springs relax. In other words, the clutch absorbs these engine vibrations, preventing the vibrations from going through the drive train.●Operating MembersThese are the parts that release pressure from the clutch disc. The operating members consist of the clutch pedal, clutch return spring, clutch linkage, clutch fork, and throwout bearing. The clutch linkage includes the clutch pedal and a mechanical or hydraulic system to move the other operating members.When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch linkage operates the clutch fork .The clutch fork, or release fork, moves the throwout bearing against the pressure plate release levers. These levers then compress springs that normally hold the clutch disc tightly against the flywheel.At this point, the torque of the engine cannot turn the gearbox input shaft. The gears in the gearbox may be shifted or the vehicle can be brought to a full stop.When the clutch pedal is released, the pressure plate forces the clutch disc against the flywheel. The clutch return spring helps raise the pedal.D Clutch ServiceThe major parts of the clutch assembly need no maintenance or lubrication during normal service. However, all linkage parts need lubrication at points of contact. The linkage itself must be adjusted to prevent wear of the clutch disc.●Free-play AdjustmentYou can make only one adjustment on the clutch linkage —the free-play adjustment. Free play is the allowable space between the throwout bearing and the pressure plate release levers. This space is important because it prevents pressure on the levers that could keep the clutch from engaging fully. In other words, the throwout bearing must be slightly away from the pressure plate levers so that the bearing applies no pressure on the levers. On the other hand, there must not be too much freeplay between the bearing and the levers. With too much clearance, the clutch cannot fully disengaged when the driver press the clutch pedal to the floor. In most cases, you measure the free play at the clutch pedal, rather than at the bell housing.The free play allows some motion at the beginning of the clutch pedal travel, before the pedal meets resistance. Since the distance varies with the type of pressure plate, check the service manual. Usually, free play should be about 20 to 25mm.Free play can be adjusted at some point where the clutch linkage consists of threaded rods with locknuts. The rod closest to the clutch fork is the most common adjustment point. Begin by locating the rod and locknut beneath the vehicle. Then determine which way to turn the adjustment nuts to get the correct free play at the pedal. You can get a rough estimate of free play by moving the clutch fork to see if it still has some movement. The best way to make the adjustment is to loosen the locknut and move the adjustment nut a few turns. Then check the free play at the pedal. Continue making adjustments until you have the correct free play. When the free-play adjustment meets the manufacturer’s specification, tighten the locknut.Check the free-play adjustment every six months and make any adjustment. Clutches need adjustment that often, since free play decreases slightly as the clutch disc wears. However, the need for frequent adjustments means a problem in the clutch mechanism itself.There must be free play between the throwout bearing and pressure plate release levers. Problems can result from “riding the clutch”. A driver who rests one foot on the clutch pedal causes the throwout bearing to rub against the clutch release levers. As a result, the throwout bearing becomes worn quickly. Also, the clutch disc may wear out due to slippage because the parts are not fully engaged.●Clutch FaultsThe following are the main faults:Slip —failure of the surface to grip resulting in the driven plate revolving slower than the engine flywheel : Clutch gets hot and emits an odor.Spin or drag —failure of the plates to separate resulting in noise from thegearbox when selecting a gear: most noticeable when thevehicle is stationary.Judder —a vibration which occurs when the clutch is being engaged , i.e. when the vehicle is stationary.Fierceness —sudden departure of the vehicle even though the pedal is being released gradually.E The Clutches（supplementary contract）A clutch is a friction device used to connect and disconnect a driving force from a driven member. In automotive applications, it is used in conjunction with an engine flywheel to provide smooth engagement and disengagement of the engine and manual transmission.Since an internal combustion engine develops little power or torque at low rpm, it must gain speed before it will move the vehicle. However, if a rapidly rotating engine is suddenly connected to the drive line of a stationary vehicle, a violent shock will result.So gradual application of load, along with some slowing of engine speed , is needed to provide reasonable and comfortable starts. In vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, this is accomplished by means of a mechanical clutch.The clutch utilizes friction for its operation. The main parts of the clutch are a pressure plate, and a driven disk. The pressure plate is coupled with the flywheel, while the driven disk is fitted to the disk by the springs so that the torque is transmitted owing to friction forces from the engine to the input shaft of the transmission. Smooth engagement is ensured by slipping of the disk before a full pressure is applied.The automobiles are equipped with a dry spring-loaded clutch. The clutch is termed “dry”because the surfaces of the pressure plate and driven disks are dry in contrast to oil-bath clutches in which the plate and disks operate in a bath of oil. It is called “springloaded”because the pressure plate and the driven disk are always pressed to each other by springs and are released only for a time to shift gears or to brake the automobile.In addition to the plate and disk, the clutch includes a cover, release levers, a release yoke, pressure springs and a control linkage. The clutch cover is a steel stamping bolted to the flywheel. The release levers are secured inside the cover on the supporting bolts. The outer ends of the release levers are articulated to the pressure plate. Such a construction allows the pressure plate to approach the cover or move away from it, all the time rotating with the cover or move away from it, all the time rotating with the flywheel. The springs spaced around the circumference between the pressure plate and the clutch cover clamp the driven disk between the pressure plate and the flywheel.The springs are installed with the aid of projections and sockets provided on the cover and pressure plate. The pressure plate sockets have thermal-insulation gaskets for protecting the springs against overheating.The clutch release mechanism can be operated either mechanically or hydraulically. The mechanically-operated release mechanism consists of a pedal, a return spring, a shaft with lever, a rod m release yoke lever, a release yoke, a release ball bearing with support and a clutch release spring. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the rod and shaft with yoke shift the release bearing and support assembly. The release bearing presses the inner ends of the release levers, the pressure plate is moved away from the driven disk and the clutch is disengaged. To engage the clutch , the pedal is released, the release bearing and support assembly is shifted back by the return spring thus releasing the release levers so that the pressure plate is forced by its springs towards the flywheel to clamp the driven disk and engage the clutch.The clutch hydraulically-operated release mechanism consists of a clutch pedal , clutch release spring , a main cylinder , a pneumatic booster, pipelines and hoses and a lever of the clutch release yoke shaft. Time main cylinder accommodates a piston with a cup. The pneumatic booster serves to decrease the pedal force required disengage the clutch. The booster includes two housings with the servo diaphragm clamped in between. The housing accommodates pneumatic, hydraulic and servo plungers. When the clutch pedal is pushed, the fluid pressure from the main cylinder is transmitted through the pipelines and hoses to the hydraulic and servo plungers of the pneumaticbooster.The servo arrangement is intended for automatic change of the air pressure in the pneumatic cylinder proportionally to the force applied to the pedal. The plunger moves with the diaphragm, the outlet valve closes and the inlet valve opens thus admitting the compressed air to the pneumatic plunger piston. The forces created by the pneumatic and hydraulic plungers are added together and are applied through the push rod to the release yoke shaft lever; the lever turns the shaft and the release yoke, thus disengaging the clutch. After the clutch pedal is released, the outlet valve opens and the air from the cylinder is let out to the atmosphere.Automatic clutches were used in certain U.S. and European cars. American Motors’“E-Stick”clutch eliminated the need for physical operation of the clutch system called “Hydrak”, which consisted of a fluid flywheel connected to a single, dry disk clutch.In the “E-Stick” set up, the pressure plate levers “engage” the clutch disk rather than “release” them. Also, the clutch remains disengaged until a servo unit is applied by oil pressure when the shift lever is placed “in gear” with the engine running.The “Hydrak”unit also begins operation when the lever is “in gear”. This activates a booster unit, which disengages the clutch disk. The hydraulic clutch parts are bridged over by a free-wheel unit, which goes into action when the speed of the rear wheel is higher than the speed of the engine. A special device controls engagement of the mechanical clutch, depending on whether the rear axle is in traction or is pushed by car momentum.A more-or-les unusual clutch pressure plate set-up is used on late model Chrysler and American Motors cars. Called a semi-centrifugal clutch, the pressure plate has six cylindrical rollers which move outward under centrifugal force until they contact the cover. As engine speed increases, the rollers wedge themselves between the pressure plate and cover so that the faster the clutch rotates, the greater the pressure exerted on the pressure plate and disk.传动系统A基本传动系统的组成部份传动系统是将发动机动力转移到驱动轮的结构。

附录1Clutch of new developments in technologyAbstract: in recent years car design and manufacturing technology progress for all to see. In order to further improve product performance, prolong service life, common mechanical clutch technology is also produced a remarkable change. No matter from structural characteristics, product process performance, or control technology, mechanical clutch of technological progress in some extent reflects the development of design concepts, and possible technology trends in the future.Keywords: clutch; Technology development1, introductionIn car technology rapid development today, especially with the electronic technology in cars, the extensive application of vehicle drivetrain is had great progress, as an important part of the transmission of the clutch assembly force transmission, the burden of reducing vibration and prevent system overload very important role. To make sure that the power transmission and reliable, separate thoroughly, combined with soft, damping good, small volume, light weight, easy, long service life, making the clutch product either cash from the performance, structure, or manufacturing mode and control, in the occurrence of a lot of change. They greatly optimized clutch all aspects of performance, to some extent look, these changes are also reflected the development direction of the clutch.2, engine flywheel new structureAs one of the flywheel storage components engine, is also part of the clutch initiative. As the car transmission belong to multi-freedom torsional vibration system, whether the incentive and transmission system, or the associated force vibration type and the coupling vibration with other statements are very complex. In order to adapt to car driving conditions of vibration and noise reduction of reducing the need, making cars, ride comfort the role of torsional shock absorber is extremely important. It should be able to adjust the system inherent frequency, the system mainly low-order resonance critical speed remove common, also need to use speed range, still need to decrease amplitude damping of transmission system can reduce idle noise, ease the impact of the special case load. Previous clutch platen set on by a twist of shock absorber, decorate a space place is restricted, shock absorber work reverse Angle small, torsion stiffness big, capacity small, springs, and therefore not guarantee the intensity of vibration reduction is limited.In recent years, the emergence of a reverse damping characteristics and performance to price are ideal double quality flywheel structure. The flywheel by primary flywheel, reverse shock absorber and subprime flywheel composition, among them, the primary flywheel on one hand we should provide for the shock absorber and clutch installation space, on the other hand also with appropriate rotational inertia insure a car, and reduce passed back starting the amplitude. Generally, double quality flywheel adopts with circular arc shape along the spiral spring primary flywheel outer periphery decorate way, in limited circumstances decorate a space, the arrangement to obtain larger primary flywheel rotational inertia. The inertia and the clutch after brief increase engine speed fluctuation of related parts, shorten their service life. To avoid the above phenomenon, often need additional Settings special damping, such, can increase the difficulty and cost of product development. Because the engine of the car front front drive type of transmission installation space is limited, so this kind of structure in FF type cars to the promotion. Meanwhile, this kind of decorate spring along the circumference, due to high speed double quality flywheel centrifugal role, spring wear when, or even produces broken.Using radial layout springs can improve the double quality flywheel of the above mentioned products defect. It consists of primary flywheel, 3 ~ 4 springs box, damping dish and subprime flywheel composition. Because the suspension spring box of radial layout, the primary flywheel rely on four posts the muscles of rib takes form enough flywheel stiffness and produced similar with traditional flywheel inertia.This kind is decorated in a small space to with smaller quality to gain the maximum rotation inertia, help reduce the assembly structure, the axial dimensions for subprime flywheel and clutch decorate a space make more. Its damping device by a wear-resisting plastic gasket, a belt of steel plate and a slot disc spring washers constitute, they set in damping plate, rely on damping disc hole flanging positioning and compaction, the damping disk with primary flywheel riveted by the subprime, plastic gasket flywheel slot drive. Practice proves that the double quality than ever, this structure can be the flywheel in a limited space get quite good vibration reduction.Engine for the job, usually by the flywheel, inertia and the clutch clutch disc provides together. The ideal flywheel structure should be to offer the same, and ensure enough inertia structure stiffness premise to minimize the flywheel quality, stamping steel way to replace traditional casting can obtain the flywheel ways to produce the effect. Change the pressure by casting lron yuntechtc ring, start toothed ring and steel blunt system drivers disk of three parts. In the ring gear driving plate welding, pressure rings and drivers disk riveting, pressure ring of moment of inertia of the subject constitutes a flywheel, and provide for the clutch friction surface and heat conduction. Drivers disk improve enough flywheel stiffness, and using laser welding and clutch cover, this is connected to this structure forms of changescan be compared to traditional iron flywheel reduce quality 5% ~ 10%. USES the steel plate stamping type flywheel, and clutch cover and flywheel connections between after replacing bolt connection with welding, reducing the number and machinery manufactured parts, which reduces the production cost. The foregoing radial layout springs double quality can use this stamping yuntechtc for structure form, reducing axial dimensions[]17.3, clutch discClutch platen design of the main contradiction is facing, on one hand, hope to have as played platen diameter, in order to obtain the good preach torsional characteristic, reducing friction slices wear quantity and improve the service life, on the other hand, hope the decrease of the platen as possible, so as to shorten the rotational inertia of the variable transmission shift, ensure the synchronization time of smooth, transmission clutch platen ontology conscious drops, and therefore made wavy often difficult to coordinate the contradiction. When using triangle groove platen ontology structure, while keeping the original way wavy platen ontology has the axial elastic properties at the same time, because of its large on the plane can be formed, enough to make its and friction slices adhesive is used to connect the replacement of traditional riveting, so that in friction chip will not need the thickness of the steel back to reserve rivet, so clutch friction slices thickness, which can reduce the platen axial dimensions, and can be reduced by 10% of inertia can reduce nearly 25%. In other words, keep the premise of inertia unchanged, possible will platen diameter increases, so can the arrangement for torsional shock absorber, let a space when damper spring job increase, the rigidity of the shock absorber in diameter can be reduced greatly, increasing the space for setting also provides an ideal damping components fundamental conditions. On the other hand, because platen diameter increases, the optimization of diaphragm spring separation means it can obviously reduce leverage than the load bearing separation.Using triangle groove platen ontology and friction piece of adhesive technology, still can make clutch friction slices surface pressure distribution, and more uniform can improve the service life of friction slices.4, clutch diaphragm springUsing the diaphragm spring of a nonlinear elastic properties, can increase the ability of clutch abrasion resistance. Usually, can pass the clutch when installation, adjustment diaphragm spring axial position, to keep the spring of compaction force, but due to the manufacturing process of previous position error is quite large, so often wasted spring this portion of elastic energy, enables the abrasion resistance ability get full play. When the clutch cover and flywheel connection with the above welding way to finish, the clutch assembly may allow such position when the adjustment, thus, the corresponding clutchscratch-resistant ability can improve the 4% ~ 30%.To improve the ability to change its antiwear properties, but also can the diaphragm spring is reinforced by controlling method of separation means and the rib disc supporting ring approach to getting.[]175, clutch control systemAutomatic transmission in cars growing popularity of today, due to its lack of transmission efficiency of cars, and motorists feel lost control, makes mechanical clutch still has wide market. Along with the computer technology and the rapid development of modern control technology has to clutch may reality automatic control, automatic clutch management system (CMC) is the product of this idea. The driver speaking, clutch automatic control system is that it is the most obvious advantage of cancelled the clutch pedal, thus improve the driving comfort, whether in the city the frequent change of traffic environment, or in the ramp, its advantages are started is quite clear. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the transmission low noise and vibration, CMC is likely to clutch real-time control of sliding, all these can improve automobile driving safety. Although the automatic transmission can also play the same role in price, but the CMC, fuel efficiency, engine braking and rapid response, etc but again the obvious advantage. In addition, it has no peristalsis phenomenon, and can make control shift timing. Drivers On the other hand, for car itself, because the CMC reduced because the actual driving quite frequent false operation produces drivetrain stress, therefore, can reduce the transmission and its transmission parts design dimensions, in general driving conditions, electronic control ensures the accuracy and speed than artificially operation circumstance clutch of wear small, long service life.CMC consists of three parts: namely is used to identify the driver intention and the clutch, the transmission working state of sensors,Clutch actuators and electronic control unit, drivers shift HuanDangGan movements and intention through the release of the accelerator pedal to identify, this requires signal judge strategy and control must be very quick, to avoid the feeling of driver produce shift block, when pilots inadvertently tinkering with the transmission system when rod may not false action. In addition, the CMC through the engine speed, the transmission input shaft speed and throttle position signal to clutch slip for mind control, which can eliminate the car driving common vibration and noise. Such as a limit control to prevent slip in 1 and 2, block small throttle low-speed driving, the car slightly tilted forward, generating about 1Hz very uncomfortable zitterbewegung, through in the clutch of transient torsional direction change quickly, to eliminate the separation clutch in clutch under the condition of incomplete combinations, when pilots alternate relaxation and trample accelerator pedal, because thetransmission torque change to the sharp produced recoiling sickening crash; or depressing Through the precise relative slip between 50 ~ 100rpm control, can eliminate in high-grade, high and low speed conditions when the engine driving torque values in the passenger cabin can smell the low-frequency resonance produced, and when the transmission in 2 ~ 3 block, engine speed 12 ~ 2500rpm and high load, the transmission possible beats noise; Through the separation clutch, convenient when the elimination of the idle will clutch and neutral transmission combine, engine torque peak in the transmission of idle speed noise produced. The key is to prevent vibration noise sensitivity and accuracy, this system requirements system has high control ability, rely on modern computer and hydraulic control technology has been possible this some.[]186, closingBy adopting a new design concept, can make clutch axial dimensions is much shorter, platen diameter increases, power transmission more reliable, clutch capacity increases, separation bearing load is reduced, torsion vibration reduction improve, processing manufacturing easier, lower cost, service life can be extended 50% and than before can be expected, along with the automatic control technology mature gradually perfect, clutch control mode will also continue to rapid development.附录 2汽车离合器技术的新发展摘要：近年来汽车设计和制造技术的进步有目共睹。

附录How Does the Clutch WorkThe clutch is a device to engage and disengage power from the engine, allowing the vehicle to stop and start.A pressure plate or “driving member” is bolted to the engine flywheel, and a clutch plate or “driven member” is loc ated between the flywheel and the pressure plate. The clutch plate is spline to the shaft extending from the transmission to the flywheel, commonly called a clutch shaft or input shaft. When the clutch and pressure plates are locked together by friction, the clutch shaft rotates with the engine crankshaft. Power is transferred from the engine to the transmission, where it is routed through different gear rations to obtain the best speed and power to start and keep the vehicle moving.The flywheel is located at the rear of the engine and is bolted to the crankshaft. It helps absorb power impulses, resulting in a smoothly-idling engine and provides momentum to carry the engine through its operating cycle. The rear surface of the flywheel is machined flat and the clutch components are attached to it. The driving member is commonly called the pressure plate. It is bolted to the engine flywheel and its main purpose is to exert pressure against the clutch plate, holding the plate tight against the flywheel and allowing the power to flow from the engine to the transmission. It must also be capable of interrupting the power flow by releasing the pressure on the clutch plate. This allows the clutch plate to stop rotating while the flywheel and pressure plate continues to rotate.The pressure plate consist of a heavy metal plate, coil springs or diaphragm spring, release levers (fingers), and a cover. When coil springs are used, they are evenly spaced around the metal plate and located between the plate and the metal cover. This places an even pressure against the plate, which in turn presses the clutch plate tight against the flywheel. The cover is bolted tightly to the flywheel and the metal pate is movable, due to internal linkages. The coil springs are arranged to exert direct or indirect tension on the metal plate, depending upon the manufacturer’s design. Three release levers (fingers), evenly spaced around the cover, are used on most pressure plates to release the holding pressure of the springs on the clutch plate, allowing it to disengage the power flow.When a diaphragm spring is used instead of coil springs, the internal linkage is necessarily different to provide an “over-center” action to release the clutch plate from the flywheel. Its operation can be compared to the operation of an oilcan. When depressing the slightly curved metal on the bottom of the oilcan, it goes over-center and gives out a loud “clicking” noise; when released, the noise is again heard as the metal returns to its originalposition. A click is not heard in the clutch operation, but the action of the diaphragm spring is the same as the oilcan.The clutch plate or driven member consists of a round metal plate attached to a splined hub. The outer portion of the round plate is covered with a friction material of molded or woven asbestos and is riveted or bonded to the plate. The thickness of the clutch plate and /or facings may be warped to give a softer clutch engagement. Coil springs are often installed in the hub to help provide a cushion against the twisting force of engagement. The splined hub is mated to (and turns) a splined transmission shaft when the clutch is engaged.The release (throw out) bearing is usually a ball bearing unit, mounted on a sleeve, and attached to the release or throw out lever. Its purpose is to apply pressure to the diaphragm spring or release levers in the pressure plate. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the pressure of the release bearing or lever actuates the internal linkages of the pressure plate, releasing the clutch plate and interrupting the power flow. The release bearing is not in constant contract with the pressure plate. A linkage adjustment clearance should be maintained.The clutch pedal provides mechanical means for the driver to control the engagement and disengagement of the clutch. The pedal is connected mechanically to either a cable or rods, which are directly connected to the release bearing lever.When the clutch pedal is depressed, the linkage moves the release bearing lever. The release lever is attached at the opposite end to a release bearing which straddles the transmission clutch shaft, and presses inward on the pressure plate gingers or the diaphragm spring. This inward pressure acts upon the fingers and internal linkage of the pressure plate and allows the clutch plate to move away from the flywheel, interrupting the flow of power.While the clutch pedal is depressed and the power flow interrupted, the transmission can be shifted in to any gear. The clutch pedal is slowly released to gradually move the clutch pate toward the flywheels under pressure of the pressure plate springs. The friction between the clutch plate and flywheel becomes greater as the pedal is released and the engine speed increased. Once the vehicle is moving, the need for clutch slippage is lessened, and the clutch pedal can be fully released.Coordination between the clutch pedal and accelerator is important to avoid engine stalling, shock to the driveline components and excessive clutch slippage and overheating.离合器如何工作离合器是传递和分离发动机动力的装置，实现车辆的停车和启动。

附录 AClutch between engine and transmission installed in the car to travel from the start the whole process, often need to use the clutch. Its role is to make the engine and transmission can be gradually between the joint, thus ensuring a smooth start car; temporarily cut off the link between the engine and transmission to shift at the time of shift and reduce the impact; When the car when emergency braking from Separate role in preventing the transmission and other drive system overload, play a protective role.Clutch similar to the switch, splice or break away from the power transmission and, accordingly, have any form of auto clutch, but the form is different.By the friction plate clutch, springs, pressure plate and the power output shaft composed, arranged between the engine and gearbox, the engine flywheel to the torque is passed to the stored transmission, to ensure that vehicles in different driving conditions passed to the driver Wheel driving force and the right amount of torque, is the scope of the powertrain. In the half-time of linkage, clutch and power input power output allowed speed difference, that is, the speed error to achieve through its transfer an appropriate amount of power. Clutch is divided into three work status, ie the clutch all connections, some of the half clutch linkage and the clutch is not linked.When a vehicle in normal driving, the pressure plate is jammed against the friction plate on the flywheel, pressure plate and friction plate at this time the friction between the largest between the input shaft and output shaft remained relatively static friction, both the same speed . When the vehicle is started, the driver depresses the clutch, clutch pedal movement by pulling back pressure plate, which is the separation of the pressure plate and friction disc, pressure plate and flywheel at this time no contact, but also the relative friction does not exist. Last one, that is, half of the clutch linkage status. At this point, the pressure plate and friction disc friction less than the full-linked state. Clutch pressure plate and flywheel friction plate on the sliding friction between the state. Flywheel speed is greater than the output shaft speed, transmission out of the power from the flywheel to the transmission part of the pass. Between the engine and driving wheels at this time is equivalent to a soft connection status.In general, the clutch and the shift in the vehicle when starting to play a role, this time a transmission shaft and the speed difference between the two shafts, engine power must be cut with a shaft after the synchronizer can be very good a shaft speed will be kept synchronized with the second axis, gear hanging up after, and then through the clutch shaft and the engine power will be a combination of the power continue to be transmitted. In the clutch, there is an essential buffer device, which consists of two similar to the flywheel with the disc, the disc hit a rectangular groove, the groove arrangement of the spring, in the face of fierce shock between the two disc springs between the elastic effect, buffer external stimuli. Effective protection of the engine and clutch. Various parts of the clutch, pressure plate spring strength, friction coefficient of friction plate, clutch diameter, location, and the clutch friction disc clutch performance is to determine the number of key factors, the greater the stiffness of the spring, the higher the friction coefficient of friction plates, the larger the diameter of the clutch, clutch performance, the better.附录 B离合器安装在发动机与变速器之间，汽车从启动到行驶的整个过程中，经常需要使用离合器。

附录How Clutches WorkIf you drive a manual transmission car, you may be surprised to find out that it has more than one clutch. And it turns out that folks with automatic transmission cars have clutches, too. In fact, there are clutches in many things you probably see or use every day: Many cordless drills have a clutch, chain saws have a centrifugal clutch and even some yo-yos have a clutch.CIn!cp I山g?e CgIIeL入D!g?Lg山 o\ cgL 2poM!u? cIn!cp Iocg!!ou. eee 山oLe cIn!cp !山g?e2In this article, you'll learn why you need a clutch, how the clutch in your car works and find out some interesting, and perhaps surprising, places where clutches can be found. Clutches are useful in devices that have two rotating shafts. In these devices, one of the shafts is typically driven by a motor or pulley, and the other shaft drives another device. In a drill, for instance, one shaft is driven by a motor and the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they can either be locked together and spin at the same speed,or be decoupled and spin at different speeds.In a car,you need a clutch because the engine spins all the time,but the car's wheels do not. In order for a car to stop without killing the engine, the wheels need to be disconnectedf rom the engine somehow. The clutch allows us to smoothly engage a spinning engine to a non-spinning transmission by controlling the slippage between them.To understand how a clutch works, it helps to know a little bit about friction, which is a measure of how hard it is to slide one object over another. Friction is caused by the peaks and valleys that are part of every surface -- even very smooth surfaces still have microscopic peaks and valleys. The larger these peaks and valleys are, the harder it is to slide the object. You can learn more about friction in How Brakes Work.A clutch works because of friction between a clutch plate and a flywheel. We'll look at how these parts work together in the next section.Fly Wheels,Clutch Plates and FrictionIn a car’s clutch, a flywheel connects to the engine, and a clutch plate connects to the transmission. You can see what this looks like in the figure below.When your foot is off the pedal, the springs push the pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the same speed.Pressure plateThe amount of force the clutch can hold depends on the friction between the clutch plate and the flywheel, and how much force the spring puts on the pressure plate. The friction force in the clutch works just like the blocks described in the friction section of How Brakes Work, except that the spring presses on the clutch plate instead of weight pressing the block into the ground.W h en the clutch pedal is pressed, a cable or hydraulic piston pushes on the release fork, which presses the throw-out bearing against the middle of the diaphragm spring. As the middle of the diaphragm spring is pushed in, a series of pins near the outside of the spring causes the spring to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc (see below). This r eleases the clutch from the spinning engine.Common ProblemsFrom the 1950s to the 1970s, you could count on getting between 50,000 and 70,000 miles from your car's clutch. Clutches can now last for more than 80,000 miles if you use them gently and maintain them well. If not cared for, clutches can start to break down at 35,000 miles. Trucks that are consistently overloaded or that frequently tow heavy loads can also have problems with relatively new clutches.Photo courtesy Carolina MustangClutch plateThe clutch only wears while the clutch disc and the flywheel are spinning at different speeds. When they are locked together, the friction material is held tightly against the flywheel, and they spin in sync. It's only when the clutch disc is slipping against the flywheel that wearing occurs. So, if you are the type of driver who slips the clutch a lot, you'll wear out your clutch a lot faster.Sometimes the problem is not with slipping, but with sticking. If your clutch won't release properly, it will continue to turn the input shaft. This can cause grinding, or completely p revent your car from going into gear. Some common reasons a clutch may stick are: Broken or stretched clutch cable - The cable needs the right amount of tension to push and pull effectively.Leaky or defective slave and/or master clutch cylinders - Leaks keep the cylinders from building the necessary amount of pressure.Air in the hydraulic line - Air affects the hydraulics by taking up space the fluid needs to build pressure.Misadjusted linkage - When your foot hits the pedal, the linkage transmits the wrong amount of force.Mismatched clutch components - Not all aftermarket parts work with your clutch.depress fully. If you have to press hard on the pedal, there may be something wrong. Sticking or binding in the pedal linkage, cable, cross shaft, or pivot ball are common causes. S o metimes a blockage or worn seals in the hydraulic system can also cause a hard clutch. Another problem associated with clutches is a worn throw-out bearing, sometimes called a clutch release bearing. This bearing applies force to the fingers of the spinning pressure plate to release the clutch.If you hear a rumbling sound when the clutch engages,you might have a problem with the throw-out.Types of ClutchesThere are many other types of clutches in your car and in your garage.An automatic transmission contains several clutches. These clutches engage and disengage various sets of planetary gears. Each clutch is put into motion using pressurized hydraulic fluid. When the pressure drops, springs cause the clutch to release. Evenly spacedridges, called splines, line the inside and outside of the clutch to lock into the gears and the clutch housing. You can read more about these clutches in How Automatic Transmissions Work.An air conditioning, compressor in a car has an electromagnetic clutch. This allows the compressor to shut off even while the engine is running. When current flows through a magnetic coil in the clutch, the clutch engages. As soon as the current stops, such as when you turn off your air conditioning, the clutch disengages.Most cars that have an engine-driven cooling fan have a thermostatically controlled viscous clutch -- the temperature of the fluid actually drives the clutch. This clutch is positioned at the hub of the fan, in the airflow coming through the radiator. This type of clutch is a lot like the viscous coupling sometimes found in all-wheel drive cars. The fluid in the clutch gets thicker as it heats up, causing the fan to spin faster to catch up with the engine rotation. When the car is cold, the fluid in the clutch remains cold and the fan spins s lowly, allowing the engine to quickly warm up to its proper operating temperature.Many cars have limited slip differentials or viscous couplings, both of which use clutches to help increase traction. When your car turns, one wheel spins faster than the other, which makes the car hard to handle. The slip differential makes up for that with the help of its clutch. When one wheel spins faster than the others, the clutch engages to slow it down and match the other three. Driving over puddles of water or patches of ice can also spin your wheels. You can learn more about differentials and viscous couplings in How Differentials Work.Gas-powered chain saws and weed eaters have centrifugal clutches, so that the chains or strings can stop spinning without you having to turn off the engine. These clutches work automatically through the use of centrifugal force. The input is connected to the engine crankshaft. The output can drive a chain, belt or shaft. As the rotations per minute increase, w eighted arms swing out and force the clutch to engage. Centrifugal clutches are also often found in lawn mowers, go-karts, mopeds and mini-bikes. Even some yo-yos are m anufactured with centrifugal clutches.C lu tches are valuable and necessary to a number of applications.

附录A Little Brief Introduction Of ClutchNowadays the pioneers of the clutch disc, clutch disc is more pieces of it until 1925 later. The multi-gear clutch main advantage is that car started the clutch engagement is no impact on the smooth. Early in the design, layout design, according to slice pairs of a steel plate with a bronze blanks. Using the friction pair of pure metal, put them in oil, can achieve more satisfactory performance.As the power to combustion in mechanical transmission automobiles, clutch is as an independent assembly. The clutch is usually served in the engine and transmission, the active part between connected with engine flywheel, driven and transmission. Various types of cars for widespread adoption of friction clutch, in fact, is a kind of depend on their part, driven to relay the friction between the power and the separation. The major function of the clutch is cut off and the realization of the engine and transmission, to ensure smooth, stable car When the shift in the engine and transmission of separation, reduce transmission gear shift between the impact, Work in the dynamic load is larger, can limit the transmission of maximum torque, in order to prevent the transmission parts of a damaged by overload, Reducing effectively the transmission of the vibration and noise.In the early development of clutch structures, the most successful conical clutch. It was the prototype design in 1889 German Daimler company production of steel wheel on the car. It is to make the engine flywheel hole taper as clutch active. The taper clutch scheme continues to the middle of the twentieth century, when the manufacture, cone-shaped clutch friction relatively simple, easy to repair. It was used LuoMao friction material, leather belt, etc. Then have been hoof - drum clutch, its structure in the solid-bowl clingy reaches hoof. Hoof - drum clutch friction components with wood, leather belt is such, shoe - drum clutch weight is light cone clutch. Whatever tapered clutch or hoof - drum clutch, easy to cause the separation is not complete appear even Lord, follower cannot separate self-locking phenomenon.Years of practical experience and technical improvement makes people tend to preferred dry friction clutch single chip, because it has driven part of inertia, good heat, simple structure, convenient adjustment, compact size, etc, but also because completely in structure, already cantake action to smooth, so now junction disc is widely used in large, medium and small various models.Now monolithic dry type clutch in structural design is quite perfect. Using the axial elastic platen, improve the clutch of comfort. The clutch platen assembly installed in reverse, prevent the transmission system of shock of torsional resonances, reduced the transmission system of noise and load.As the car comfort requirements, clutch in original basis has been obtained by car, by continuously improved by increasing the quality of the flywheel has double shock absorber, can turn better reduce transmission noise.Due to heavy clutch, commercial, engine power tends to large-scale increasing, but the size of the space increased clutch allows the use of limited, clutch, cool, increase conditions to improve ability, preaching clutch torsion life-span, simplify the operation has become the development trend of the heavy clutch. In order to improve the ability of torsion, in heavy vehicles can be used on double dry type clutch. Theoretically, in the same radial dimensions, biplate clutch torsion ability and the service life is 2 times of single chip. But other objective factors, the actual effects of low value than others.In recent years, the wet clutch on technology improvement, some heavy cart in abroad and start using multiple wet clutch. Compared with dry type clutch, due to the use of the pump are forced cooling, friction surface temperature is lower than 93 degrees Celsius (not), therefore, long time also does not start sliding friction loss. Refer to the information at home and abroad were told that this clutch can use dry type clutch of 5-6 times, but the advantages of the wet clutch play must be in a temperature range, more than it can achieve a temperature range will play a negative effects. Now this technology is not perfect.一些离合器的简介现今所用的盘式离合器的先驱是多片盘式离合器，它是直到1925年以后才出现的。

本科毕业设计（论文）英文资料翻译*****指导教师：孙飞豹（副教授）学科、专业：车辆工程沈阳理工大学应用技术学院2011年12月20日transmission used in automobilesA standard transmission or manual transmission is the traditional type of transmission used in automobiles. The manual or standard transmission consists of a series of gears, synchros, roller bearings, shafts and gear selectors. The main clutch assembly is used to engage and disengage the engine from the transmission. Heliacal cut gears are used to select the ratio desired the sector fork move gears from one to another by using the gearshift knob. Synchros are used to slow the gear to a stop before it is engaged to avoid gear grinding, the counter shaft hold the gears in place and against the main input and output shaft. A stick shift transmission has no torque converter so there is no need for a transmission cooler. A stick shift transmission needs a simple fluid change for proper service. (there is no transmission filter in a stick shift transmission).Transmission ShifterMost manual transmissions have one reverse gear and four to six forward gears. Some cars also have eight forward gears while thirteen to twenty-four gears are present in semi trucks. To differentiate among the available standard transmissions, they are addressed by the number of forward gears. For example, if the standard transmission has five gears, it will be referred to as 5-speed standard transmission or 5-speed standard.Typical Standard Transmission ConfigurationInside the transmission shafts contain all forward and reverse gears. Most transmissions contain three shafts: input shaft, output shaft and counter or lay shaft. Other than standard transmission, there are other transmissions like continuously variable transmission, automatic transmission and semi-automatic transmission. In the manual transmission, a pair of gears inside the transmission selects the gear ratios. Whereas, in an automatic transmission, combination of brake bands and clutch packs control the planetary gear which selects the gear ratio.If there is a provision to select a gear ratio manually in automatic transmissions, the system is called a semi-automatic transmission. The driver can select from any of the gears at any pointof time. In some automobiles like racing cars and motorcycles that have standard transmissions, the driver can select the preceding or the following gear ratio with no clutch operation needed. This type of standard transmission is known as sequential transmission. In this transmission the clutch is still used for initial take off.Clutch and Flywheel AssemblyThe main clutch plays the role of a coupling device which separates the transmission and the engine. If the clutch is absent and the car comes to a stop the engine will stall. In automobiles, the clutch can be operated with the help of a pedal located on the floor of the vehicle. In an automatic transmission instead of a clutch, a torque converter is used to separate the transmission and engine.Typical Stick Shift PatternsA desired gear can be selected by a lever which is usually located on the floor in between the driver and passenger seat. This selector lever is called the gear lever or gear selector or gear shift or shifter. This gear stick can be made to move in right, left, forward and backward direction. When the gear is placed on the N position or neutral position, no gear will be selected. To move the car in the backward direction, the R gear or reverse gear should be selected.Standard transmissions are more efficient and less expensive to produce than automatic transmissions. A Standard transmission is about 15% more efficient compared to an automatic transmission. Standard transmissions are generally stronger than automatic transmissions and off road vehicles take advantage of a direct gear selection so they can withstand rough conditions. Less active cooling is also required in manual transmission system because less power is wasted.●Popular Problem ChecksCar will not go into gearClutch disc is broken completelyInternal transmission damageFailed clutch master cylinderSeized clutch slave cylinderBroken clutch fork pivotBroken clutch cableCar goes into gear but it fades out or is slippingClutch is worn out and needs replacementClutch is oil soaked from a external engine oil leakCar makes grinding noise while operating or shifting gearsOne of the roller or thrust bearings has failedThe gear synchro is worn out not forcing the gear stop before it is engaged causing a grinding gear.A counter or main shaft bearing has failed causing misalignment of the gears●Troubleshooting Noise and ProblemsIf the vehicle is running and a whirring sound is heard, then it goes away when the clutch is depressed, the transmission input bearing has failed.If the transmission is quiet in neutral but when you depress the clutch a squeaking noise is observed, a clutch throw out bearing has failed.Tips:Never let little noises go unattended; a small noise can cause a large noise and transmission operation failure.

外文资料翻译Automobile ClutchNowadays the pioneers of the clutch disc, clutch disc is more pieces of it until 1925 later. The multi-gear clutch main advantage is that car started the clutch engagement is no impact on the smooth. Early in the design, layout design, according to slice pairs of a steel plate with a bronze blanks. Using the friction pair of pure metal, put them in oil, can achieve more satisfactory performance.As the power to combustion in mechanical transmission automobiles, clutch is as an independent assembly. The clutch is usually served in the engine and transmission, the active part between connected with engine flywheel, driven and transmission. Various types of cars for widespread adoption of friction clutch, in fact, is a kind of depend on their part, driven to relay the friction between the power and the separation. The major function of the clutch is cut off and the realization of the engine and transmission, to ensure smooth, stable car When the shift in the engine and transmission of separation, reduce transmission gear shift between the impact, Work in the dynamic load is larger, can limit the transmission of maximum torque, in order to prevent the transmission parts of a damaged by overload, Reducing effectively the transmission of the vibration and noise.In the early development of clutch structures, the most successful conical clutch. It was the prototype design in 1889 German Daimler company production of steel wheel on the car. It is to make the engine flywheel hole taper as clutch active. The taper clutch scheme continues to the middle of the twentieth century, when the manufacture, cone-shaped clutch friction relatively simple, easy to repair. It was used LuoMao friction material, leather belt, etc. Then have been hoof - drum clutch, its structure in the solid-bowl clingy reaches hoof. Hoof - drum clutch friction components with wood, leather belt is such, shoe - drum clutch weight is light cone clutch. Whatever tapered clutch or hoof - drum clutch, easy to cause the separation is not complete appear even Lord, follower cannot separate self-locking phenomenon.Years of practical experience and technical improvement makes people tend to preferred dry friction clutch single chip, because it has driven part of inertia, good heat, simple structure, convenient adjustment, compact size, etc, but also because completely in structure, already can take action to smooth, so now junction disc is widely used in large, medium and small various models.Now monolithic dry type clutch in structural design is quite perfect. Using the axial elastic platen, improve the clutch of comfort. The clutch platen assembly installed in reverse, prevent the transmission system of shock of torsional resonances, reduced the transmission system of noise and load.As the car comfort requirements, clutch in original basis has been obtained by car, by continuously improved by increasing the quality of the flywheel has double shock absorber, can turn better reduce transmission noise.Due to heavy clutch, commercial, engine power tends to large-scale increasing, but the size of the space increased clutch allows the use of limited, clutch, cool 1,increase conditions to improve ability, preaching clutch torsion life-span, simplify the operation has become the development trend of the heavy clutch. In order to improve the ability of torsion, in heavy vehicles can be used on double dry type clutch. Theoretically, in the same radial dimensions, biplate clutch torsion ability and the service life is 2 times of single chip. But other objective factors, the actual effects of low value than others.In recent years, the wet clutch on technology improvement, some heavy cart in abroad and start using multiple wet clutch. Compared with dry type clutch, due to the use of the pump are forced cooling, friction surface temperature is lower than 93 degrees Celsius (not), therefore, long time also does not start sliding friction loss. Refer to the information at home and abroad were told that this clutch can use dry type clutch of 5-6 times, but the advantages of the wet clutch play must be in a temperature range, more than it can achieve a temperature range will play a negative effects. Now this technology is not perfect.The flywheel is a major part of the clutch . The flywheel mounts to the engine’s crankshaft and transmits engine torque to the clutch assembly . The flywheel , when coupled with the clutch disc and pressure plate makes and breaks the flow of power the engine to the transmission .The flywheel provides a mounting location for the clutch assembly as well .

Transmission SystemA Basic Parts of the transmission systemThe transmission system applies to the components needed to transfer the drive from the engine to the road wheels. The main components and their purposes are(1) Clutch --- to disengage the drive--- to provide a smooth take-up of the drive(2) Gearbox --- to increase the torque applied to the driving road wheels--- to enable the engine to operate within a given range of speed irrespective of the vehicle speed--- to give reverse motion of the vehicle--- to provide a neutral position so that the engine can run without moving the vehicle(3) Final drive --- to turn the drive through 90°--- to reduce the speed of the drive by a set amount to match the engine to the vehicle(4) Differential --- to allow the inner driving road wheel to rotate slower than theouter wheel when the vehicle is cornering, whilst it ensuresthat a drive is applied equally to both wheels.B Clutch and Clutch ServiceIn order to transmit the power of the engine to the road wheels of a car, a friction clutch and a change-speed gearbox are normally employed. The formeris necessary in order to enable the drive to be taken up gradually and smoothly, while the latter provides different ratios of speed reduction from the engine to the wheels, to suit the particular conditions of running,A clutch performs two tasks:(1) it disengages the engine from the gearbox to allow for gear changing.(2) it is a means for gradually engaging the engine to the driving wheels, when a vehicle is to be moved from rest the clutch must engage a stationary gearbox shaft with the engine; this must be rotating at a high speed to provide sufficient power or else the load will be too great and the engine will start (come to test).C Clutch ActionTo start the engine, the driver must depress the clutch pedal. This disengages the gearbox from the engine. To move the car, the driver must reengage the gearbox to the engine. However, the engagement of the parts must be gradual. An engine at idle develops little power. If the two parts were connected too quickly, the engine would stall. The load must be applied gradually to operate the car smoothly.A driver depresses the clutch pedal to shift the gears inside the gearbox. After the driver releases the clutch pedal, the clutch must act as solid coupling device. It must transmit all engine power to the gearbox, without slipping.The clutch mechanism include three basic parts: driving member, driven member, operating members.●The driving memberThe driving member consists of two parts: the flywheel and the pressure plate. The flywheel is bolted directly to the engine crankshaft and rotates when the crankshaft turns. The pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel. The result is that both flywheel and pressure plate rotate together.●The driven memberThe driven member, or clutch disc, is located between the flywheel and pressure plate. The disc has a splined hub that locks to the splined input shaft on the gearbox .Any rotation of the clutch disc turns the input shaft .Likewise, any motion of the input shaft moves the clutch disc. The splines allow the clutch disc to move forward and backward on the shaft as it engages and disengages.The inner part of the clutch disc, called the hub flange, has a number of small coil springs. These springs are called torsional springs. They let the middle part of the clutch disc turn slightly on the hub. Thus, the springs absorb the torsional vibrations of the crankshaft. When the springs have compressed completely, the clutch moves back until the springs relax. In other words, the clutch absorbs these engine vibrations, preventing the vibrations from going through the drive train.●Operating MembersThese are the parts that release pressure from the clutch disc. The operatingmembers consist of the clutch pedal, clutch return spring, clutch linkage, clutch fork, and throwout bearing. The clutch linkage includes the clutch pedal and a mechanical or hydraulic system to move the other operating members.When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch linkage operates the clutch fork .The clutch fork, or release fork, moves the throwout bearing against the pressure plate release levers. These levers then compress springs that normally hold the clutch disc tightly against the flywheel.At this point, the torque of the engine cannot turn the gearbox input shaft. The gears in the gearbox may be shifted or the vehicle can be brought to a full stop.When the clutch pedal is released, the pressure plate forces the clutch disc against the flywheel. The clutch return spring helps raise the pedal.D Clutch ServiceThe major parts of the clutch assembly need no maintenance or lubrication during normal service. However, all linkage parts need lubrication at points of contact. The linkage itself must be adjusted to prevent wear of the clutch disc.●Free-play AdjustmentYou can make only one adjustment on the clutch linkage —the free-play adjustment. Free play is the allowable space between the throwout bearing and the pressure plate release levers. This space is important because it prevents pressure on the levers that could keep the clutch from engaging fully. In other words, the throwout bearing must be slightly away from the pressure plate leversso that the bearing applies no pressure on the levers. On the other hand, there must not be too much free play between the bearing and the levers. With too much clearance, the clutch cannot fully disengaged when the driver press the clutch pedal to the floor. In most cases, you measure the free play at the clutch pedal, rather than at the bell housing.The free play allows some motion at the beginning of the clutch pedal travel, before the pedal meets resistance. Since the distance varies with the type of pressure plate, check the service manual. Usually, free play should be about 20 to 25mm.Free play can be adjusted at some point where the clutch linkage consists of threaded rods with locknuts. The rod closest to the clutch fork is the most common adjustment point. Begin by locating the rod and locknut beneath the vehicle. Then determine which way to turn the adjustment nuts to get the correct free play at the pedal. You can get a rough estimate of free play by moving the clutch fork to see if it still has some movement. The best way to make the adjustment is to loosen the locknut and move the adjustment nut a few turns. Then check the free play at the pedal. Continue making adjustments until you have the correct free play. When the free-play adjustment meets the manufacturer’s specification, tighten the locknut.Check the free-play adjustment every six months and make any adjustment. Clutches need adjustment that often, since free play decreases slightly as the clutch disc wears. However, the need for frequent adjustments means a problemin the clutch mechanism itself.There must be free play between the throwout bearing and pressure plate release levers. Problems can result from “riding the clutch”. A driver who rests one foot on the clutch pedal causes the throwout bearing to rub against the clutch release levers. As a result, the throwout bearing becomes worn quickly. Also, the clutch disc may wear out due to slippage because the parts are not fully engaged.●Clutch FaultsThe following are the main faults:Slip —failure of the surface to grip resulting in the driven plate revolving slower than the engine flywheel : Clutch gets hot and emits an odor.Spin or drag —failure of the plates to separate resulting in noise from thegearbox when selecting a gear: most noticeable when thevehicle is stationary.Judder —a vibration which occurs when the clutch is being engaged , i.e.when the vehicle is stationary.Fierceness —sudden departure of the vehicle even though the pedal is being released gradually.E The Clutches（supplementary contract）A clutch is a friction device used to connect and disconnect a driving force from a driven member. In automotive applications, it is used in conjunction with an engine flywheel to provide smooth engagement and disengagement of theengine and manual transmission.Since an internal combustion engine develops little power or torque at low rpm, it must gain speed before it will move the vehicle. However, if a rapidly rotating engine is suddenly connected to the drive line of a stationary vehicle, a violent shock will result.So gradual application of load, along with some slowing of engine speed , is needed to provide reasonable and comfortable starts. In vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, this is accomplished by means of a mechanical clutch.The clutch utilizes friction for its operation. The main parts of the clutch are a pressure plate, and a driven disk. The pressure plate is coupled with the flywheel, while the driven disk is fitted to the disk by the springs so that the torque is transmitted owing to friction forces from the engine to the input shaft of the transmission. Smooth engagement is ensured by slipping of the disk before a full pressure is applied.The automobiles are equipped with a dry spring-loaded clutch. The clutch is termed “dry” because the surfaces of the pressure plate and driven disks are dry in contrast to oil-bath clutches in which the plate and disks operate in a bath of oil. It is called “springloaded”because the pressure plate and the driven disk are always pressed to each other by springs and are released only for a time to shift gears or to brake the automobile.In addition to the plate and disk, the clutch includes a cover, release levers, a release yoke, pressure springs and a control linkage. The clutch cover is a steelstamping bolted to the flywheel. The release levers are secured inside the cover on the supporting bolts. The outer ends of the release levers are articulated to the pressure plate. Such a construction allows the pressure plate to approach the cover or move away from it, all the time rotating with the cover or move away from it, all the time rotating with the flywheel. The springs spaced around the circumference between the pressure plate and the clutch cover clamp the driven disk between the pressure plate and the flywheel.The springs are installed with the aid of projections and sockets provided on the cover and pressure plate. The pressure plate sockets have thermal-insulation gaskets for protecting the springs against overheating.The clutch release mechanism can be operated either mechanically or hydraulically. The mechanically-operated release mechanism consists of a pedal, a return spring, a shaft with lever, a rod m release yoke lever, a release yoke, a release ball bearing with support and a clutch release spring. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the rod and shaft with yoke shift the release bearing and support assembly. The release bearing presses the inner ends of the release levers, the pressure plate is moved away from the driven disk and the clutch is disengaged. To engage the clutch , the pedal is released, the release bearing and support assembly is shifted back by the return spring thus releasing the release levers so that the pressure plate is forced by its springs towards the flywheel to clamp the driven disk and engage the clutch.The clutch hydraulically-operated release mechanism consists of a clutchpedal , clutch release spring , a main cylinder , a pneumatic booster, pipelines and hoses and a lever of the clutch release yoke shaft. Time main cylinder accommodates a piston with a cup. The pneumatic booster serves to decrease the pedal force required disengage the clutch. The booster includes two housings with the servo diaphragm clamped in between. The housing accommodates pneumatic, hydraulic and servo plungers. When the clutch pedal is pushed, the fluid pressure from the main cylinder is transmitted through the pipelines and hoses to the hydraulic and servo plungers of the pneumatic booster.The servo arrangement is intended for automatic change of the air pressure in the pneumatic cylinder proportionally to the force applied to the pedal. The plunger moves with the diaphragm, the outlet valve closes and the inlet valve opens thus admitting the compressed air to the pneumatic plunger piston. The forces created by the pneumatic and hydraulic plungers are added together and are applied through the push rod to the release yoke shaft lever; the lever turns the shaft and the release yoke, thus disengaging the clutch. After the clutch pedal is released, the outlet valve opens and the air from the cylinder is let out to the atmosphere.Automatic clutches were used in certain U.S. and European cars. American Motors’“E-Stick”clutch eliminated the need for physical operation of the clutch system called “Hydrak”, which consisted of a fluid flywheel connected to a single, dry disk clutch.In the “E-Stick”set up, the pressure plate levers “engage”the clutch disk rather than “release” them. Also, the clutch remains disengaged until a servo unit is applied by oil pressure when the shift lever is placed “in gear”with the engine running.The “Hydrak” unit also begins operation when the lever is “in gear”. This activates a booster unit, which disengages the clutch disk. The hydraulic clutch parts are bridged over by a free-wheel unit, which goes into action when the speed of the rear wheel is higher than the speed of the engine. A special device controls engagement of the mechanical clutch, depending on whether the rear axle is in traction or is pushed by car momentum.A more-or-les unusual clutch pressure plate set-up is used on late model Chrysler and American Motors cars. Called a semi-centrifugal clutch, the pressure plate has six cylindrical rollers which move outward under centrifugal force until they contact the cover. As engine speed increases, the rollers wedge themselves between the pressure plate and cover so that the faster the clutch rotates, the greater the pressure exerted on the pressure plate and disk.传动系统A基本传动系统的组成部份传动系统是将发动机动力转移到驱动轮的结构。

附录附录A Clutch Performance AnalysisA clutch is a subcomponent of an engine’s transmission designed to allow engagement or disengagement of the engine to whatever apparatus is being driven. A clutch may also be a device on a shaft that will “slip” wh en higher than normal resistance is encountered.There are many different clutch designs, but most are based on one or more friction discs, pressed tightly together or against a flywheel using springs. The spring pressure is released when the clutch pedal is depressed and the discs are held less tightly and allowed to rotate freely.Clutches are useful in devices with two rotating shafts. In these devices, one of the shafts is typically driven by a motor or pulley, and the other shaft is driving another device. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they can either be locked together and spin at the same speednc.qoos.www, or be decoupled and spin at different speeds.In a car, the engine spins all the time and the car wheels don’t. In order for a car to stop without killing the engine, the wheels need to be disconnected from the engine somehow. The clutch smoothly engage a spinning engine to a non-spinning transmission by controlling the slippage between them.The flywheel is connected to the engine, and the clutch plate is connected to the transmission.When your foot is off the pedal, the springs will push the pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the same speed.The amount of force the clutch can hold depends on the friction between the clutch plate and the flywheel, and how much force the spring puts on the pressure plate. The friction force in the clutch works just like the blocks in the friction sectionof brake, except that the spring presses on the clutch plate instead of weight pressing the block into the ground.When the clutch pedal is pressed, a cable or bydraulic piston pushes on the release fork, which presses the throw-out bearing against the middle of the diaphragm spring. As the middle of the diaphragm spring is pushed in, a series of pins near the outside of the spring causes the spring to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc. This releases the clutch from the spinning engine.Note the springs in the clutch plate. These springs help to isolate the transmission from the shock of the clutch engaging.The most common problem with clutches is that the friction material on the disc wears out. The friction material on a clutch disc is very similar to the friction material on the pads of a disc brake, or the shoes of a drum brake-after a while, it wears away. When most or all of the friction material is gone, the clutch will start to slip, and eventually it won’t transmit any power from the engine to the wheels.The clutch only wears while the clutch disc and the flywheel are spinning at different speeds. When they are locked together, the friction material is held tightly against the flywheel, and they spin in sync. It is only when to clutch disc is slipping against the flywheel that wearing occurs. So if you are the type of driver who slips the clutch a lot, you will wear out your clutch a lot faster.In a car it is operated by the left-most pedal. No pressure on the pedal means that the clutch plates are engaged (driving) , while depressing the pedal will disengage the clutch plates, allowing the driver to shift gears. When the right-most pedal (the accelerator) is pressed while the clutch pedal is being let out.Cars equipped with automatic transmissions normally do not have a clutch. On these, the transmission operates automaticaly so that the driver is not required to use a clutch to shift gears.附录 B 离合器的性能分析离合器是发动机传动系中的一个基础部件，无论什么样的发动机，传动系都可以接上或脱开。

Clutch Common ProblemsFrom the 1950s to the 1970s, you could count on getting between 50,000 and 70,000 miles from your car's clutch. Clutches can now last for more than 80,000 miles if you use them gently and maintain them well. If not cared for, clutches can start to break down at 35,000 miles. Trucks that are consistently overloaded or that frequently tow heavy loads can also have problems with relatively new clutches.The most common problem with clutches is that the friction material on the disc wears out. The friction material on a clutch disc is very similar to the friction material on the pads of a disc brake or the shoes of a drum brake -- after a while, it wears away. When most or all of the friction material is gone, the clutch will start to slip, and eventually it won't transmit any power from the engine to the wheels.The clutch only wears while the clutch disc and the flywheel are spinning at different speeds. When they are locked together, the friction material is held tightly against the flywheel, and they spin in sync. It's only when the clutch disc is slipping against the flywheel that wearing occurs. So, if you are the type of driver who slips the clutch a lot, you'll wear out your clutch a lot faster.Sometimes the problem is not with slipping, but with sticking. If your clutch won't release properly, it will continue to turn the input shaft. This can cause grinding, or completely prevent your car from going into gear. Some common reasons a clutch may stick are:Broken or stretched clutch cable- The cable needs the right amount of tension to push and pull effectively.Leaky or defective slave and/or master clutch cylinders - Leaks keep the cylinders from building the necessary amount of pressure.Air in the hydraulic line - Air affects the hydraulics by taking up space the fluid needs to build pressure.Misadjusted linkage - When your foot hits the pedal, the linkage transmits the wrong amount of force.Mismatched clutch components- Not all aftermarket parts work with your clutch.A "hard" clutch is also a common problem. All clutches require some amount of force to depress fully. If you have to press hard on the pedal, there may be something wrong. Sticking or binding in the pedal linkage, cable, cross shaft, or pivot ball are common causes. Sometimes a blockage or worn seals in the hydraulic system can also cause a hard clutch.Another problem associated with clutches is a worn throw-out bearing, sometimes called a clutch release bearing. This bearing applies force to the fingers of the spinning pressure plate to release the clutch. If you hear a rumbling sound when the clutch engages, you might have a problem with the throw-out.Clutch Diagnostic TestIf you find that your clutch has failed, here is an at-homediagnostic test that anyone can perform:1. Start your car, set the parking break, and put the carin neutral.2. With your car idling, listen for a growling noisewithout pushing the clutch in. If you hear something,it's most likely a problem with the transmission. If youdon't hear a noise, proceed to step three.3. With the car still in neutral, begin to push the clutchand listen for noise. If you hear a chirping noise asyou press, it's most likely the clutch release, orthrow-out bearing. If you don't hear a noise, proceedto step four.4. Push the clutch all the way to the floor. If you hear asquealing noise, it's probably the pilot bearing orbushing.If you don't hear any noise during these four steps, then yourproblem is probably not the clutch. If you hear the noise atidle and it goes away when the clutch is pressed, it may bean issue in the contact point between the fork and pivot ball.BiomaterialsManufacturers are starting biomaterials to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the vehicles lifecycleManufacturers are starting to concentrate more closely on cutting carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles’ lifecycles. That means looking at the carbon dioxide production and disposal of the vehicle, not just the pollutants that come out of the tailpipe.European vehicle recycling laws are making carmakers that sell cars in Europe take more responsibility for the effect their vehicles Honda and Mitsubishi are the latest to develop new materials.Recycling the metal that makes up majority of the vehicle is not the hardest pert; the plastics plastics present a far greater challenge. Interiors pose a particular recycling problem as they use a lot of plastics.Honda has developed a plant-based fabric with excellent durability and resistance to sunlight for use a surface material in automobile interiors.Bio-fabrics are the most likely solution as they are derived from plants that absorb carbon dioxide ad they grow. When vehicle is scrapped and the fabrics incinerated, only some of the released carbon dioxide has come from a fossil source.Despite this benefit, plant-based fabrics have not yet been used commercially for automobile interiors. Interior quality is too important to take risks with and there have been concerns about the limited durability and aesthetics of biomaterials.Honda says it has a fabric that can overcome these issues, achieving a soft and smooth material appropriate for the surface of automobile interiors. It has high durability and its color does not fade after prolonged exposure to sunlight.Honda will use the material for seats, the interior surface of doors, roof linings and for floor mats. Series production is still some way off , however. The firm will install the bio-fabric interiors in 2009 in a fuel cell vehicle and then expand the application.The bio-fabric’s basic material is a polyester called polypropylene terephthalate (PPT). PPT is produced through the polymerization of propaneiol, which is produced from corn and terephthalic acid, a petroleum-based component.In order to improve the fabric’s stability, Honda has applied a multi-thread structure for the fiber. “The fiber is very flexible, achieving unprecedented aesthetic properties,” says Honda.The bio-fabric does not require changes to existing fabric production processes and is suitable for mass production .Using it instead of the traditional petroleum-based polyester materials reduces the amount of energy consumed in the process by between 10 and 15 percent.“The use of a plant-based ingredient can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 5Kg per vehicle,” says Honda.Mitsubishi`s environmentally friendly plastic is a little closer to production. It will be used in a concept car next year. But despite its early development stage, the firm is confident it will be used in car interiors.Mitsubishi has developed a material that uses a plant-based resin, polybutylene succinate (PBS), reinforced with bamboo fibers. They began developing the materials with the Aichi industrial technology institute, Japan in 2004.“To help stop global warming and slow the depletion of oil reserves, we plant to substitute plant-based resins and quick-growing plant fibers for materials such as petroleum-based resins and wood hardboards used in car interiors,” says Mitsubishi.PBS. The main component of the material. Is a plant-based resin composedmainly of succinct acid and 1.4-butanediol.The succinct acid for the material comes from the fermentation of sugar extracted from sugarcane or corn?The new material combines bamboo fiber with PBS in order to increase its rigidity.According to tests. The PBS/bamboo-fiber prototype achieves an estimated 50 percent cut in lifecycle CO2 emissions over petroleum-based polypropylene plastic. Volatile organic compound levels are also reduced drastically over processed wood hardboards; roughly 85 per cent in testing.Bamboo grows to its full height in just a few years, compared with the tens of years required for traditional timber. And as such may be called a potentially sustainable resource.”We expect the research to lead to further breakthroughs in the use of bamboo.” says Mitsubishi.离合器常见问题从20世纪50年代至70年代，你可以依靠离合器行驶50000公里到70000公里。

附录The Spin Tester for the Automobile Clutch Test with High Speed Photography SystemAbstract:The development of a new type spin tester for the automobile clutch test is introduced.A vertical flexible shaft system with rubber damper is applied to the tester.The crushing test of the clutch assembly can be done frequently on the spin tester,and the high speed photography system adopting ordinary camera can record the crushing wink.The crushing test of a clutch on this tester is also introduced.and the weak link of the clutch assembly can be found from the photograph of crushing wink.Key words:spin tester automobile clutch high speed photographyClutch by gland assembly and platen assembly which, in their rotation strength is the key parts of the quality evaluation car is an important index, rules and regulations should be acceleration in their state of the rotating speed is higher than speeding strength test to determine the safety and reliability of the clutch disc. For example, santana clutch disc assembly and driven plate total chengdu in ordinary temperature requirements in a = rad/s2 acceleration of 50 acc to 12 000 r/min, and platen assembly also requires in high temperature (250 ℃) at a = rad/s2 acceleration of 50 acc to 10 000 r/min without fracture. These tests require in the specialized testing machine.At present, the domestic is no clutch assembly strength test on the special equipment. This paper introduces the author developed a vertical multi-function of clutch rotating strength tester (see chart 1). It has a strong drive ability (1), can generate enough acceleration, the maximum weight 50 kg, with the highest speed 18 000 r/min, maximum acceleration 20 rad PI/s2 the clutch assembly strength test; (2) the strong vibration absorber system, to absorb the clutch assembly high speed rotating vibration energy; (3) the reliable and steady automation control system and absolute safety of lead brick protection recessed; (4) to observe the clutch assembly rotation experiment process and the rupture instantaneous state surveillance and high-speed photography system. To all sorts of clutch assembly, the machine can strength test, especially for high speed can be frequently do destructive testing, use convenient, safe and reliable.Figure 1 clutch rotating strength tester photos1.The main structure characteristics1.1 With rubber damping bearing on the "flexible shaft typeThis kind of test enginery due to frequent, high-speed destructive testing, the host axis should be able to complete the clutch assembly rose quickly to the whole process of destruction, so we used on the vertical "with rubber damper flexible shaft of [1], the structure see FIG. 2). Due to the vertical axis, one soft critical speed is low, order only 1800 to 2000 r/min or so, make whole high-speed area are on supercritical of smooth state. At the same time in soft shaft with a middle with "O" type of rubber ring damping bearing shaft system, when the critical speed or because the clutch assembly brought serious imbalance fierce, the vibration damping bearing can absorb vibration energy, attenuation shaft vibration [2], ensure the clutch assembly continue to rise until the complete destruction, ensure speed high-speed damage test. This structure is simple, easy to adjust, damping range. In order to prevent the clutch assembly damage time, great instantaneous vibration energy cause shaft and the lower the destruction of the transmission system, in the gentle shaft with a limit bearing, head to prevent soft shaft bending big and the bottom of the drive shaft damage components. Soft axis adopt plug-in installation, when the clutch assembly, the most serious destruction is replaced the soft shaft, head bent to the whole machine didn't have any effect, operation loading and unloading is very convenient, and ensure the tester can frequently in the clutch assembly destructive test. The vertical axis, facilitate "on the cover from the Windows of the testing process and observe specimens of installation and removal.Figure 2 rubber damper with flexible shaft1.2 The clutch assembly damage moments of high-speed photography systemThe clutch assembly by many parts assembly and become, the parts quality is directly related to the quality of the assembly. If can through the high-speed strength test find assembly parts the weak links, had better be to be in test chamber to take the parts assembly by deformation and destruction and yield spread to the whole process of, that will be very significant. Although currently not at a close range in advance, do not know when the clutch assembly of the damage happened produced high speed the whole process of destruction, but they can take to destroy the moment alone photos.Foreign is widely accepted in the specimen outside trigger coil rotor set, as the rotor fly crack, debris flying out of line, met trigger trigger circuit triggered by high speed camera shutter open, took a damage the image of the rotor moment. Obviously this design requirements must have taken the camera very high speed. For example the clutch assembly destruction speed than 10 000 r/min, the linear velocity in the 200 m/s above, if want to take clear debris flying out of the instantaneous movement condition when, captured fragments of the distance from the 2 mm moving images. So, the camera at least should have t = 2 mm / (200 m/s) = 1 x 10-5 s shooting speed, for ordinary camera it is clearly the deficits.In order to solve this problem, we developed a common cameras with the high-speed photography in the technology, with the clutch high-speed strength test machine, took the clutch assembly destruction of photographs. The moment The high-speed photography work principle of the system is shown in figure 3. The specific practices for ordinary camera, will cover the Windows in testing machine in the darkness of the test chamber outside, open shutter, in advance for shooting state. At the same time, add the rear cover outside the window between the two steel ballmust high pressure of the capacitor voltage. When the clutch assembly, high speed rotating parts fly crack damage, cut off the assembly line, the periphery of the trigger that set up light source line work trigger pin, triggering a trigger pulse, so that the air between two steel ball, a steel ball capacitor in ionization produced strong, between discharge pulse light source, then the camera narrow photographic plate, get the clutch assembly destruction of photographs. The moment The technology of the method is simple, save expensive high-speed cameras, the shooting accuracy is high.Figure 3 high-speed photography system work principle diagram2.Experimental studyWe in the testing machine to clutch cover plate assembly and made a large destructive testing. Now to the santana gland assembly damage test as an example. First, take the santana clutch cover assembly state of rest; Then, the gland assembly, and to destroy the damage process using high-speed photography system to shoot, have the following results:(1) santana clutch cover assembly in speed for 11 560 r/min, gland spring of fly out, cut off the trigger coil, took a high-speed photography photos (see chart 4), photos are the right off about 20 ° position on a spring of the flying out of the shadows. After parking the tray found not damage, but find spring of crack, the obvious skeleton spring of centrifugal force along the role in the first bending fly out broken.(2) this gland assembly continue to rise in speed for speed test, 14 010 r/min happened when the tray destruction, like on high-speed photography photos (see chart 5). Photos of the moment by damage, the whole clutch cover visible assembly gland produces serious warping deformation, radial on turn over the close (see photo) and cut off the trigger coil. As gland warping, clutch the tray imbalances fly crack damage. But did not see the gland cast iron rings (cover parts can't photographed) fly out of the shadow of the fracture.(3) from gland assembly destroyed the crack of photos skeleton (see figure 6) cansee, gland serious warping deformation in spring of installation, the gaps, but pulled gland and without breaking into several pieces, although gland lower part of the cast iron ring has fractured into seven pieces, but found no gland inside surface, cast iron rings pieces the trace of the impact.The result shows the santana car clutch cover the failure process of the instantaneous assembly for local parts, (spring of) fly out-gland serious warping deformation, in local weak section and pulled in the bottom of the gland cast iron rings and the whole gland assembly fracture failure.This tester has been put into use of factory three years, because the function is all ready, performance stability, price cheap, and solve the clutch a lot of detection, the development, and the research question, is expected to replace the imported, application.Figure 4 gland assembly spring of fly out of the moment photosFigure 5 gland assembly moments of photos.

最后一种，也就是离合器的半连动状态。此时，压盘与摩擦片的摩擦力小于全连动状态。离合器压盘与飞轮上的摩擦片之间是滑动摩擦状态。飞轮的转速大于输出轴的转速，从飞轮传输出来的动力部分传递给变速箱。此时发动机与驱动轮之间相当于一种软连接状态。
一般来说，离合器是在车辆起步和换挡的时候发挥作用，此时变速箱的一轴和二轴之间存在转速差，必须将发动机的动力与一轴切开以后，同步器才能很好的将一轴的转速保持与二轴同步，挡位挂进以后，再通过离合器将一轴与发动机动力结合，使动力继续得以传输。

对于手动挡的车型而言，离合器是汽车动力系统的重要部件，它担负着将动力与发动机之间进行切断与连接的工作。在城市道路或者复杂路段驾驶时，离合器成了我们最频繁使用的部件之一，而离合器运用的好坏，直接体现了驾驶水平的高低，也体现了对于车辆保护的好坏。正确使用离合器，掌握离合器的原理以在特殊情况下利用离合器来解决问题，是每个驾驶手动挡车型的车友应该掌握的。
车辆处于这种情况下，驾驶员就能很轻松的起步了，继续踩下油门踏板让转速进一步提升获得足够的扭力，车辆就顺利坡起了。此时对于半联动的技巧要求较高，如果半联动力度太弱，就可能在松开手刹时车辆向后滑动，容易造成新手的惊慌失措，如果半联动力度过强则容易是车辆加速过猛而撞到前车。所以对于新手而言，此时可以让发动机转速略高，并采用较大的半联动力度，使车辆有个向前走的趋势时，再松开手刹。

IntroductionAbrasive dry running vehicle clutches are force closure couplings. Torque and speed transmission are ensured by the frictional force generated between two pressed surfaces. Reasons for the application of ceramic as a friction medium include good heat and wear resistance properties, which provide the opportunity to drive higher pressures, and a low density. Thus, an increasing power density is enabled with a parallel minimization of construction space.Measurements with a first prototype of a clutch disk using ceramic facings were performed at Karlsruhe University in a laboratory specialized in passenger car drive system testing. In the course of analysis the finite element (FE) model was to be constructed with the knowledge of measurement data and measurement conditions. Calculations were intended to determine the temperature distribution of the clutch disk and its environment at each moment in time corresponding to measurements. It is essential to be familiar with the temperature range in order to examine the wear characteristics of the system. Thus, important information is derived from measurement data. In critical load cases, the highest expected temperatures must be forecast in space and time in order to protect measuring instruments close to the location of heat generation.The goal of this study is to analyze and modify the clutch system to provide better operating conditions by improving the heat conduction and convection of the system or to increase the amount of the energy converted into frictional heat. Furthermore, it is desired to find better design solutions for more efficient clutch systems.Calculations were performed by the Cosmos Design Star software. During model development, great care had to be taken for proper simplification of geometry, the selection of element sizes, and the correct adjustment of time steps due to the substantial hardware requirements for transient calculations. Changes in thermal parameters such as the surface heat convection coefficient and thermal load had to be taken into consideration on an on-going basis in terms of time and location. The two sides of the analyzed test clutch system can only be managed by two independent models linked by heat partition,according to the hypothesis that the contact temperature must be identical on both sides while there is proper contact between them and its value must be adjusted by iteration. Calculations revealed that the heat partition changed by cycle and it differed along the inner and outer contact rings. As a result of the different cooling characteristics between the ceramic and steel side, a heat flow is launched from the ceramic side to the steel side. This heat flow was also determined by iteration, its value also changes by cycle and differs along the inner and outer contact rings.2. First prototype of a clutch using engineering ceramics as friction materialThe examined clutch disk was developed according to the “specific ceramic” product development process established at the Institute for Product Development (IPEK) at the University of Karlsruhe. This development process already has the possibility for connection to a real transmission shaft; further, it has a cushion spring device for the facings allowing good start behaviour. Abrasive clutches must comply with the following basic requirements:●high torque transmission according to high friction coefficients,●high comfort (no vibrations through self-induced chattering),●homogeneous temperature distribution,●low wear characteristic.A critical element of the switch is the abrasive disk.With regard to the design utmost care must be taken to select the right material. A high and constant friction coefficient,，wear resistance and thermal resistance are desired characteristics. The clutch disk has instead of the generally applied ring-shaped abrasive inlet two rows of SSIC (as sintered) ceramic pellets. These pellets are placed on 6 separate segments. The segments are fixed to the central hub by rivets. Each segment consists of 4 plates, 2 working as facing springs and 2 as carriers.3. MeasurementsMeasurements were performed at the department of power train development of the Institute for Product Development (IPEK) at the Karlsruhe University (TH) ResearchUniversity, where a category IV component test rig is used for tests of new frictional materials and examinations of new materials in real clutch disks. Real conditions are applied by the simulation of driving resistance (e.g. starting in the plane, starting at the hill). It is a component test rig leveled on the fourth position of the tribological testing environment.In order to give an idea of dimensions: the equipment length is about 4-5m. The two electric motors and the axial force are controlled independently by computer; thereby many operational states can be realized. This enables the equipment to complete a myriad of tribological measurements all while properly modeling the operation of a clutch disk in a passenger car. It is also equipped with an automatic IT measurement system. Measurable quantities include the following:●two heavy-duty electric motors (150 KW, Baumuller DS 160L-305),●device suitable for exerting axial force,●torque meter (Manner Sensortelemetrie MF100),●axial force meter,●steel disk in friction,●replaceable head to affix the device to be tested,●temperature along two different radii at 0.4mm below the abrasive surface of the steeldisk (Omega HJMTSS-IM100U-150-2000,J-typeiro-constantan thermocouples),●revolutions per minute for both sides (Polytene LSV 065).The greatest challenge out of these is temperature measurement as we would like to know the temperature of the revolving steel disk. The two thermoelements placed in the steel disk forward data to the computer through a wireless blue tooth system and are placed 0.4mm below the abrasive surface of the steel disk on the two opposite arcs of the clutch disk.3.2. Measurement processDue to component analyses and cost reduction only one side of the clutch disk is mounted with ceramic facings. Thus, the clutch disk and its fitting will be referred to as the ceramic side, and the abrasive steel disk with its environment revolving together will be referred to as the steel side. In the course of measurements, data were collected at a sampling frequency of 100 and 1000HZ. Measurements were conducted according to thetime curves.The measurement starts by increasing the revolutions per minute of the steel side (the driving side) to a specific value (1500 rpm here). Then the ceramic side (the driven side), held at zero rpm, is pushed towards the steel disk and the axial force is applied until a designated value is reached (nominally 4200N here). Upon reaching the designated axial force the ceramic side is released and the two sides start to synchronize. A few seconds after synchronization, the axial load is discontinued and after some time both the steel and the ceramic sides—revolving at the same speed—are slowed down. This is deemed to be one measurement cycle. Ten cycles are completed in the course of a single measurement. During application of the axial force the ceramic side is held at zero rpm until the desired force is reached to ensure synchronization occurs at nearly the same time of each cycle. This is unfavorable from the viewpoint of both measurements and calculations. Measurements are usually conducted by changing only 3 parameters: the speed, the axial load and the inertia. The following figures are applied in various combinations:●speed n: 700, 1100 and 1500 (rpm),●axial force F: 4200, 6400 and 8400 (N) and●inertia I: 1, 1.25 and 1.5 (kgm2).Experimental measurements are launched with approx.10-15 min intervals, during which the system cools down to about 30-40 1C. This makes calculations difficult, as the exact temperature distribution of the system is not known at the commencement of the measurement. However, it can be assumed that a period of 10-15min is sufficient for a nearly homogeneous temperature distribution to be produced. The parameters for the following simulation have been chosen for an intermediate case with a speed n =1500 rpm, an axial force F = 4200 N and an inertia I = 1 kg m2.4. Calculations of heat generationThe mechanical energy consumed during the friction of two bodies is transformed into heat. The generated heat can be calculated by the following simple formula: Q =μ·ν·F [W] .where m is the the frictional coefficient; v is the sliding velocity; F is the force perpendicularly compressing the surfaces. And the heat flux density per surface unit isq=μ·ν·p [Wm2].where p is the the pressure calculated as a ratio of the force and the contacting surface. As the ceramic tablets are placed at two different radii along the clutch disk, the heat generated must be calculated separately for each radii. Sliding can be divided into two sections. In the first section, the ceramic side is kept in a stationary position by braking, meanwhile the axial load is increased; therefore compression changes in the course of time while the speed difference between the two sides is constant. In the second section (at synchronization) the speed difference is equalized while the force value is constant, so velocity changes in time. On the basis thereof, the heat generated is.The nominal contact area is the aggregate of the contacting surfaces of the 24 and 18 ceramic tablets on the given ring. The diameter of ceramic tablets is:.Calculations were performed for the load case to be characterized by the following parameters:.Based on experimental measurements a constant friction coefficient of 0.4 was established..The velocity can be calculated with the knowledge of the radius and the speed..Surface pressure can be calculated as a ratio of the axial force and the contacting surface. This produces the same figure for each ceramic pellet, assuming an even load distribution..Thus, the maximum values of the generated heat are.In the first section of sliding, the generated heat is rising due to the increase of the load force; in the second section, it is decreasing due to the equalization of the speed difference. It is necessary to know the time of each sliding section in order to be able to specify the generated heat time curve. These can be determined from measurement data series. Synchronization time can be easily determined from the speed of the ceramic side. Speed increase is linear. Force increase is non-linear. For the sake of simplicity, force increase was substituted by a straight line in calculations so that the area below the straight line is nearly identical with the area measured below the curve. Thus, the time difference between the two terminal points of the straight line is the time of the first sliding section.The above-mentioned method was applied for each cycle and their average was specified. Based on these results, the following values were determined for sliding times:.Now the time curve of heat generation can be produced. The same curve was used in each cycle as there were no significant differences between parameters in each cycle. The generated heat-calculated this way-will appear as thermal load in the thermal model. It must be distributed appropriately between the contacting surfaces by taking intoconsideration heat partition. Heat partition requires the contact temperatures to be identical at both surfaces. Correct adjustment requires repeated iterations.有限元热分析的陶瓷离合器1 引言磨料空转车辆离合器是力封闭联轴器。
