Embodiment
Explain that with describing content of the present invention and advantage will be enriched with distinct more in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the following embodiment.
Embodiment 1:
What Fig. 1 provided is the rough schematic view of a kind of structure of friction overdrive clutch of the present invention, to the explanation of the expression among the figure as follows:
X is the spin axis of present embodiment.
1 is interior ring (or being called interior ring member); What it adopted is ring in the integrated type; 1-2 is the conical surface (frusto-conical surface) on the ring outer circumferential face in directly being processed in; 1-1 has also arranged limited ring groove 1-3 for the outside thread on the ring outer circumferential face in directly being processed on interior ring outer circumferential face, arranged directly that at the inner peripheral surface of interior ring straight spline is being connected with rotating shaft etc.
2 for outer shroud (or being called outer ring assembly), employing also be one integrated type outer shroud, 2-2 and 2-5 are the conical surface (frusto-conical surface) that directly is arranged on the outer shroud inner peripheral surface, have directly arranged the straight spline of the usefulness of doing connection at the outer circumferential face of outer shroud.
3 is friction ring (power transmission friction ring assembly); 3-1 is for directly being arranged in the internal thread on the friction ring inner peripheral surface; Be meshed with the outside thread 1-1 on interior ring 1 outer circumferential face, constitute the screw pair transmission, 3-5 is for directly being arranged in the conical surface (frusto-conical surface) on the friction ring outer circumferential face.This screw pair can not only convert relatively rotating between friction ring 3 and the interior ring 1 into axial relative displacement, can also convert relative rotating force to relative shaft orientation force, and can make relative shaft orientation force greater than relative rotating force.This screw pair is exactly the energizing driver structure of present embodiment of the present invention.
5 is the axial position bounding means of friction ring, selects elastic circlip etc. usually for use, matches with being arranged in the interior limited ring groove that encircles on 1, is arranged in this limited ring groove.
7 are pretension elastic component (specifically selecting torsion spring for use), and the one of which end is arranged on and (is pressed on the friction ring 3) on the friction ring 3, give an elastic acting force; Concrete structure among the figure; Be to be arranged between axial position bounding means 5 and the friction ring 3; Promptly between interior ring 1 and friction ring 3; Be connected with axial limiting spare with friction ring, perhaps be connected with the interior ring or the outer shroud that are connected with said energizing driver structure, the elastic compression power that all working friction pair is maintained satisfy job requirement when not working with friction ring;
The friction ring 3 of present embodiment is between interior ring 1 and outer shroud; The second work friction pair is made up of conical surface 1-2 and the conical surface 2-2 that cone-apex angle equates; The first work friction pair is made up of conical surface 2-5 and the conical surface 3-5 that cone-apex angle equates; The cone-apex angle of conical surface (frusto-conical surface) all must satisfy the condition in the claim, selects such parameter, and purpose is in order to reach when external force disappears; The effect that additional pressure between friction pair also just disappears thereupon, the friction pair itself of just working can self-locking.
This embodiment's energizing driver structure is made up of with the screw pair that screw thread 3-1 meshes screw thread 1-1; This screw pair also must satisfy the condition in the claim, guarantees that promptly this screw pair self can self-locking, and this screw pair is preferably selected trapezoidal thread or square threaded form; Reach transmission efficiency height, purpose that structural strength is high; Certainly, also can be as required or the situation of condition restriction, select all standards or the worm structure in nonstandard cross section.
Though this embodiment has selected for use torsion spring as pretension elastic component 7; Because energizing driver structure of the present invention can self-locking; This is just for to select for use the pretension elastic component of axial reinforcing to realize that the elasticity pretension of work friction pair is achieved, like elastic elements such as butterfly spring, rubber.
During engineering design, described all the first work friction pairs and the second work friction pair are scaled a theoretic equivalence work friction pair, establishing the outside component in the tangential that occurs the self-locking direction between said interior ring and the said outer shroud is F
1, the normal pressure that on said equivalence work friction pair, produces is F
2, the equivalent coefficient of friction of equivalence work friction pair is μ, as the dF that satisfies condition
1/ dF
2During≤μ, free wheel device of the present invention just can keep the free wheel device function in the bearing capacity scope; As the dF that satisfies condition
1/ dF
2 >During μ, free wheel device of the present invention just can be realized the function that overload is trackslipped and protected; D in the above-mentioned formula representes differential.
When this free wheel device is selected above-mentioned dF
1/ dF
2During≤μ condition; Working procedure is, through pretension elastic component 7 (torsion spring) with axially put spacing elastic circlip 5, two work friction pairs that conical surface 1-2,2-2 and 2-5,3-5 are constituted keep in touch simultaneously and have a suitable initial elasticity impacting force; When interior ring 1 relatively rotates with outer shroud 2 or rotates trend; If this sense of rotation or trend, the effect of the screw pair that meshes through screw thread 1-1 and 3-1 makes friction ring 3 friction pair of will working press tighter and tighter; The work friction pair can keep state of rest, has promptly realized self-locking; Otherwise, if above-mentioned relatively rotating or rotation trend when opposite, through the effect of above-mentioned screw pair; The initial pressure that friction ring 3 is understood the friction pair of will working reduces more, and the work friction pair will produce and trackslip, and Here it is surmounts state; It is thus clear that this unilateral bearing has been realized the unidirectional power transmission of sense of rotation.
In order to make this unilateral bearing formula free wheel device proper functioning, need suitable lubricated, so preferably on the rubbing surface that the conical surface of work friction pair forms, reticulate pattern or 8 font groove lubrication channels such as (oil grooves) are set.
Because this unilateral bearing formula free wheel device is simple in structure, in self-locking with surmount in the process, between interior ring 1 and the outer shroud 2 very little axial displacement is arranged.Can be connected with input output with forms such as splines through interior ring 1 or outer shroud 2, eliminate the influence of axial displacement.In addition, if desired, rolling bearing or sliding bearing can also be set between interior ring 1 and outer shroud 2 support and locate, promptly rolling bearing or sliding bearing can also seal oiling agent as the position constraint assembly.
If the permission of the service condition of present embodiment can also be cancelled and axially put spacing elastic circlip 5, directly pretension elastic component 7 (torsion spring) is sticked in the spacing hole that is arranged on the interior ring 1.
If the permission of the service condition of present embodiment can also make the straight spline on interior ring 1 and the outer shroud 2 into keyway, perhaps cancellation, interior ring 1 can be made solid, and this just can be referred to as interior axle.
Said energizing driver structure; Can directly be meshing with each other and constitute by being formed directly into the structure shape that directly forms on ring in said that structure shape on the said friction ring is connected with said energizing driver structure or the said outer shroud; Said structure shape can be any one structure shape in screw thread, axial screw face and the axial wedge face in standard section and nonstandard cross section; Also can by be formed directly into the structure shape on the said friction ring and be formed directly into ring in be connected with said energizing driver structure said or said outer shroud on structure shape and other part between these two said structure shapes constitute jointly, can be axial screw groove pin structure, axially one of hound structure, the axial wedging structure of two steel ball, the axial wedging structure of twin roller and rolled threads structure; Said energizing driver structure in converting motion, also decomposes the tangential force between said friction ring and the said interior ring, produces mutual axial thrust load.
Present embodiment has adopted screw pair formula energizing driver structure, and establishing this lead angle is ψ, this screw pair be ρ from the locking angle, according to conditional request of the present invention, then must satisfy: ψ>ρ, work in non-self-locking scope to guarantee this screw pair.
Each said work friction pair comprises two structures that rubbing surface constitutes that only formed by two conical surfaces that match; Also comprise the plural rubbing surface that forms by interfolded, by the situation of traditional multidisc clutch structural type institute interfolded formation.
Pretension elastic component 7 comprises that at least one is processed the elastic element of torsion spring, stage clip, dish spring, wavy spring, springs structural type by metal or rubber elastomeric material.
Have at least a position constraint assembly with said in ring and/or outer shroud be connected, in order to retrain said in relative radial position and position to axial between ring and the said outer shroud; This position constraint assembly is the structural type of common rolling bearing, sliding bearing and fluid bearing; This position constraint assembly can be set directly between the said interior ring and said outer shroud of said free wheel device, also can be arranged between the external agency's component that are connected with the said interior ring and the said outer shroud of said free wheel device.
Need to prove: these unilateral bearing component are few, simple in structure, and obviously manufacturability is very good, and processing is smart to guarantee that easily sliding corner is little, and bearing capacity is strong.Even machining accuracy is lower, also only sliding corner and bearing capacity there are some slight influences, but to the almost not influence of mono-directional overrun function.
And above-mentioned described surmounting, the situation during in the opposite direction when being above-mentioned tangential exterior portions force direction and self-locking state, present embodiment has been selected the energizing driver structure of screw pair structure for use, and the pressure between the rubbing surface that makes the work friction pair is initiatively reduced.When the outside component in the tangential of this direction during greater than the frictional force between friction pair, will relatively rotate around common rotation axis X between interior ring 1 and the outer shroud 2, free wheel device is in and surmounts state.
When free wheel device is in said surmounting under the state status, the outside component in the tangential of this direction can only be between interior ring 1 and outer shroud 2, and transmission is smaller or equal to the power of the maximal friction between friction pair each other.To surmount that the maximal friction between friction pair converts moment of torsion under the state, this moment of torsion be exactly everybody usual statement free wheel device surmount moment of torsion.
Because we are referred to as release from self-locking state to the transient process that surmounts state with free wheel device usually; Friction overdrive clutch of the present invention is not owing to there is the independent mechanism of ability self-locking; If adopt the two-way energizing driver structure of the secondary formula of screw thread-like can also realize initiatively release, this also is one of core of the present invention.
In addition; Friction overdrive clutch of the present invention; The work friction pair all is the form of face contact, when surmounting work, is easy to just can between the rubbing surface of work friction pair, form lubricant film; Make the wearing and tearing of rubbing surface of work friction pair approach zero, so can surmount under the state at a high speed by long-play.This also is one of characteristic of the present invention.
Friction overdrive clutch of the present invention; By above-mentioned description to the energizing driver structure; If adopt the energizing driver structure of screw pair formula; Can be in a big way the wearing and tearing of compensation work friction pair automatically, it is insensitive to make that the functional characteristic of this structure changes the parameter of component, this also is one of characteristic of the present invention.
Friction overdrive clutch of the present invention can reach almost axially holohedral symmetry, full rigid structural characteristics, so can adapt to high speed and ultra high speed running, maximum speed only depends on the size and the dynamic balancing level of the strength of materials, institute's transmitting torque.
The description in the relevant document in technical background according to the present invention; Maximum sliding corner be appreciated that for: be 0 angle from surmounting status transition to the relative position of the sense of rotation in the static relatively moment between ring 1 and the outer shroud 2 in establishing; When carrying out the transition to the bearing capacity state again, the relative angle that is turned between interior ring 1 and the outer shroud 2.
The maximum sliding corner of friction overdrive clutch of the present invention depends primarily on oil slick thickness and the aspects such as structural elasticity amount of deformation after the self-locking and self-locking time when self-locking begins between the rubbing surface of matching gap and precision, all working friction pair of energizing driver structure; Through the corresponding techniques means, can be easily with first three controlling factors of the sliding corner that has the greatest impact in claimed range.
Certainly, can also derive a lot of other structural type with free wheel device function by above this citation form structure, the embodiment of back will describe and explain the part distressed structure.
Embodiment 2: shown in Figure 2 is the free wheel device of big bearing capacity, to the explanation of the expression among the figure as follows:
X is the spin axis of present embodiment.

Outer shroud 2 comprises outer shroud and the 2-1 that is connected with outer shroud, 2-2, three conical surfaces of 2-3 (truncated cone shape) rubbing surface, constitutes outer ring assembly, and the conical friction face also is to be connected through the straight spline of activity with outer shroud, forms an overall structure, rotates synchronously; Directly processed the part of internal thread 21 at the internal surface of outer shroud as the energizing driver structure.
Conical friction face 1-1,1-2,1-3 and conical friction face 2-1,2-2,2-3 are staggeredly placed by shown position, and two adjacent conical surfaces cooperatively interact, and constitute six work friction pairs (belonging to the second work friction pair).
Friction ring 3 is between interior ring 1 and outer shroud 2; Outer circumferential face at friction ring 3 has directly been processed outside thread 31; Be screw pair with 21 engagements of internal thread on the outer shroud 2, constituted this routine energizing driver structure, directly processed conical surface on the inner peripheral surface of friction ring 3; Rubbing surface as the work friction pair; The conical surface of conical friction face 1-3 on this conical surface and the interior ring 1 matches, and has formed the first work friction pair of present embodiment, and the friction pair that other contacted conical surface constitutes is the second work friction pair.
Axial position bounding means 5 is the axial position bounding means of friction ring 3, is a spacing end cap of axial position among the figure; Spacing end cap of this axial position and outer shroud 2 are by shown in the figure; Connect with bolt, can regard a part as, or be arranged on the outer shroud 2 as outer shroud 2.
7 is the pretension elastic component, is specially torsion spring, is arranged between axial position bounding means 5 and the friction ring 3, also can think between outer shroud 2 and friction ring 3, for all working friction pair provides initial elastic compression power.
This example is provided with roller bearings, and as the position constraint assembly between interior ring 1 and the outer shroud 2, interior ring 1 does not have external axial displacement and axial force in the course of the work with outer shroud 2.
The friction ring 3 of present embodiment forms the energizing driver structure of screw pair structure between friction ring 3 and the outer shroud 2 between interior ring 1 and outer shroud 2, first friction pair of working that forms between friction ring 3 and the interior ring 1 that conical surface matches; Formed a plurality of second work friction pairs between interior ring 1 and the outer shroud 2, can transfer larger torque.
As can be seen from the figure; This free wheel device has six work friction pairs; Equivalent coefficient of friction has also just obtained increase; This just makes the lift angle of screw pair of energizing driver structure can get bigger value, and the favourable face that brings is: the stress of all component all is reduced, so can transmit very large moment of torsion.Negative effect is that sliding corner is amid a sharp increase.
From figure, it can also be seen that also there are not the component of high technology difficulty among this embodiment, utilize the existing mechanical manufacturing process just can produce in batches.
