Embodiment
Describe embodiments of the invention below in detail, described embodiment's example is shown in the drawings, and wherein same or similar label represents same or similar element or has the element of identical or similar functions from start to finish.Below by the embodiment who is described with reference to the drawings, be exemplary, only for explaining the present invention, and can not be interpreted as limitation of the present invention.
As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 5, Fig. 7 and Fig. 9, clutch generally includes clutch housing 2, disengaging yoke 5, release sleeve and release bearing assembly 6, diaphragm spring 7, clutch cover 8, platen 9, driven disc, transmission input shaft 12 and flywheel 13.The working principle of clutch is: driver normally travels while not stepping on clutch pedal, diaphragm spring 7 utilizes the elasticity of self by platen 9, the friction plate of driven disc 10 to be pressed on flywheel 13, because motor is by 13 rotations of bent axle flywheel driven, therefore, friction plate 10 on driven disc can be delivered to the torsion of flywheel 13 on driven disc by frictional force, driven disc just can drive transmission input shaft 12 rotation by spline, thus by the transmission of power of motor to speed changer; When driver steps on after clutch pedal, clutch pedal drives disengaging yoke 5 motions by mechanical drag-line or hydraulic mechanism, disengaging yoke 5 promotes or pulls release sleeve and release bearing assembly 6, release sleeve and release bearing assembly 6 promote or pull diaphragm spring 7, make platen 9 unclamp the friction plate to driven disc, the friction plate 10 of driven disc is just separated with flywheel 13, although separated rear flywheel 13 still rotates, but due to the friction plate 10 of driven disc with divided flywheel from, therefore flywheel 13 will can not drive driven disc rotation, and engine power just cannot be delivered to speed changer.
Based on above-mentioned working principle, as shown in Fig. 1 to 10, clutch control device of the present invention comprises the inductor 11 that puts in place that weares and teares, controller 3, alarm 14 and Engine ECU 1, wherein, these wearing and tearing put inductor 11 in place for exporting the signal that puts in place that weares and teares, these wearing and tearing inductor 11 that puts in place is embedded in the inside of friction plate 10 in advance, and and the distance between the outer surface of friction plate 10 equals the wear allowance of setting, this distance should be less than this rivet of rivet head 15(for for friction plate 10 is installed on to the rivet on follower) and the outer surface of friction plate 10 between distance, to avoid rivet head 15 to contact with flywheel 13, result in greater loss, wherein, the outer surface of friction plate 10 is the surface relative with flywheel 13 of friction plate 10, at this, because the friction plate of driven disc 10 allows to be worn under normal circumstances, friction plate only just there will be fault when may wear to a certain degree, lose function, therefore need to set the degree of wear that wear allowance characterizes friction plate, corresponding object of the present invention, there are ablation, wearing and tearing in the corresponding friction plate of this wear allowance, but position when also thoroughly not burning or not may wear to the limit.This controller 3 is for receiving the wearing and tearing signal that puts in place, and when receiving wearing and tearing and put signal in place output alarm signal and condition change signal.Alarm 14 is for reporting to the police when receiving described alarm signal, and to remind driver's clutch to start fault, Please drive carefully and go repairing in time, and this alarm 14 is for example warning light, buzzer or the combination of the two.This Engine ECU 1, for start limp-home function after receiving condition change signal, to reduce engine power output, can repair by low speed driving vehicle to maintenance station.Above controller 3 can be installed in clutch housing 2, also can be installed on any position of the vehicle outside clutch housing 2.
In order to form Redundancy Design, clutch control device of the present invention can also comprise at least two wearing and tearing inductor 11 that puts in place, at least two wearing and tearing inductor 11 that puts in place can upwards be uniformly distributed in the week around transmission input shaft 12, as long as it is output alarm signal and condition change signal that controller 3 receives by the wearing and tearing wearing and tearing of the inductor 11 output signal that puts in place that puts in place, because of the inductor that puts in place of part wearing and tearing wherein, lost efficacy and cause clutch control device to lose efficacy avoiding, for controller 3, each wearing and tearing signal that puts in place is the relation of phase "or", generally adopt two Redundancy Design.
