Detailed description of the invention
Will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing one embodiment of the present of invention.In the following embodiments, the parts in accompanying drawing or Part simplifies or deformation as required, and all parts therefore described in accompanying drawing or the dimension scale of part, shape etc. are not must So accurate.
Fig. 1 diagrammatically illustrates clutch 10, in clutch 10, have employed as one embodiment of the present of invention from Clutch discharges device 12.Clutch 10 is the dry type single plate for arranging around the rotation C (axis C) identical with engine 11 Friction clutch.Clutch 10 includes that the 16th, the flywheel being arranged on the bent axle 14 of engine 11 is connected to the clutch of output shaft 18 The 20th, device dish is arranged on pressure plare the 24th, diaphragm spring the 26th, hydraulic clutch release cylinder 28 and release bearing on clutch cap 22 32.Diaphragm spring 26 is suitable to promote pressure plare 24 towards flywheel 16, in order to clutch disk 20 is pressed against flywheel 16 and is used for moving Power is transmitted.Clutch release cylinder 28 is suitable to operate when clutch pedal (not shown) is depressed.Release bearing 32 is arranged to can edge The direction of the axis C of clutch 10 is moved.In operation, release bearing 32 by clutch release cylinder 28 via being formed as elongated The release shift fork 30 of shape and mobile towards flywheel 16 (right in Fig. 1), so that the inner end of diaphragm spring 26 is towards flying Wheel 16 (to the right of Fig. 1) shifts thus discharges (disengaging) clutch 10.The clutch release device 12 of the present embodiment includes releasing Put shift fork 30 and release bearing 32, and operate when clutch 10 engages and departs from.
In the case of not having hydraulic oil to be supplied in the hydraulic pressure chamber of clutch release cylinder 28, pressure plare 24 is at diaphragm spring Press clutch disk 20 under the bias force of 26, thus clutch 10 is coupled.When clutch pedal is depressed by driver, and liquid Pressure oil feeder is to when in the hydraulic pressure chamber of clutch release cylinder 28, and the piston 34 of clutch release cylinder 28 moves, and release bearing 32 is mobile along the direction of axis C towards flywheel 16 (to the right of Fig. 1) via release shift fork 30 so that release bearing 32 presses The inner peripheral of diaphragm spring 26.As a result, the bias force of diaphragm spring 26 reduces;Therefore, pressure plare 24 presses clutch disk 20 Power weakens, and the torque capacity of clutch 10 reduces.Then, if the amount of movement of release bearing 32 reaches scheduled volume, pressure Plate 24 stops pressing clutch disk 20, thus discharges clutch 10.
Release shift fork 30 is formed as elongated shape, and is arranged to around the pivot being arranged on given lengthwise position Point 36 pivot.When discharging clutch 10, release shift fork 30 is caused to pivot, and when the direction viewing of the axis along pivotal point When release shift fork 30 the distal end portion 30a with release bearing 32 abutting contact move along camber line.Therefore, when release shift fork 30 pivots When, its distal end portion 30a moves along the direction of the axis C of release bearing 32 towards engine 11, and also along be perpendicular to axis C and Move close to the direction of pivotal point 36.Release shift fork 30 is formed by metal material.

Release bearing 32 includes:Release bearing hub 54 (it will be referred to as " bearing hub 54 "), it is being represented by single dotted broken line Columnar retainer 52 outer peripheral face on slide;And ball bearing 56, it is arranged in the radial outside of bearing hub 54.
Bearing hub 54 includes:First hub 58, it has cylindrical portion 62, discharge shift fork 30 pivot when, cylindrical portion 62 is along axle Slide on the outer peripheral face of retainer 52 in the direction of line C;And second hub 60, it has the cylindrical portion 62 being assemblied in the first hub 58 Outer peripheral face on tube 66.First component of the first corresponding present invention of hub 58, and the of the corresponding present invention of the second hub 60 Two components.
First hub 58 is arranged around the axis C as central axis.First hub 58 includes:Cylindrical portion 62, it is at retainer Slide on the outer peripheral face of 52;And first flange part 64, it is from the outer peripheral face of the immediate vicinity along axis C direction of cylindrical portion 62 Project radially outwardly.First hub 58 is formed by resin component element.
Second hub 60 is arranged around the axis C as central axis, and is formed as L-shaped in the cross-section.Second hub 60 Including:Tube 66, the cylindrical portion 62 of the first hub 58 passes through tube;And second flange part 68, it is from the edge of tube 66 The direction of axis C projects radially outwardly closer to one end of the first flange part 64.Second hub 60 is formed by metal material.
In the inner peripheral surface of the tube 66 that the outer peripheral face of the cylindrical portion 62 of the first hub 58 is assemblied in the second hub 60.Additionally, the The surface being perpendicular to axis C of the first flange part 64 of one hub 58 is perpendicular to axis C with the second flange part 68 of the second hub 60 Intimate surface contact.First hub 58 is pressed along the direction of axis C to the second hub 60 by diaphragm spring 26 via ball bearing 56. Therefore, the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 are configured to unit.In addition, on the direction of axis C be in close contact the first flange part 64 The distal end portion 30a abutting contact of surface and release shift fork 30 of contrary the second flange part 68 in side.First hub 58 and the second hub The contact surface of 60 is pre-coated with grease, so that the coefficient of friction between these surfaces reduces.
Ball bearing 56 is being positioned at the cylinder of the first hub 58 along the square position upwardly adjacent to the first flange part 64 of axis C The radially outer in portion 62.Ball bearing 56 includes:Annular inner race 70, itself and diaphragm spring 26 abutting contact;Annular outer ring 72, its The first flange part 64 abutting contact with the first hub 58;And multiple ball 74, it is inserted between inner ring 70 and outer ring 72.Separately Outward, being provided with a pair clip 76, the pair of clip 76 is by sandwiched therebetween to outer ring 72 and the release bearing hub 54 of ball bearing 56.
In this arrangement, the radial clearance 78 representing such as the hacures in Fig. 3 is formed at the cylindrical portion 62 of the first hub 58 And second hub 60 tube 66 matching surface between.
Gap 78 is formed so that when the release shift fork 30 of the second flange part 68 abutting the second hub 60 is around pivotal point 36 During pivot, the second hub 60 can be perpendicular to the direction (axle as center of axis C along the edge of the distal end portion 30a with release shift fork 30 The radial direction of line C) the identical direction of moving direction move.(see figure owing to release shift fork 30 pivots around pivotal point 36 1), the distal end portion 30a of release shift fork 30 moves along the direction of axis C, and also edge is perpendicular to axis C and close to pivotal point 36 Direction is somewhat moved.In figure 3, when discharging shift fork 30 and pivoting, its distal end portion 30a moves to the dorsal part of paper, and also mobile Left to paper.Therefore, power edge is perpendicular to axis C and the direction close to pivotal point 36 is applied to and the distal end portion discharging shift fork 30 Second hub 60 (the second flange part 68) of 30a abutting contact.Gap 78 be formed so that with and release shift fork 30 pivot close On the identical direction in the direction moving radially of distal end portion 30a of the release shift fork 30 of connection, it is allowed to the movement of the second hub 60.
In figure 3, if release shift fork 30 pivots, the distal end portion 30a of release shift fork 30 somewhat moves to the left on paper. Therefore, power applies similarly to the second hub 60 of the distal end portion 30a abutting contact with release shift fork 30, in order to move the second hub 60 Move the left to paper.Therefore, gap 78 is formed so that permission shifting in transverse direction on the paper of Fig. 3 for second hub 60 Dynamic.More specifically, the parts of outer peripheral face of the cylindrical portion 62 as the first hub 58, gap 78 is by pruning on the left side of paper and the right side Shadow part on side and formed.Therefore, the second hub 60 can move (slip) corresponding to gap 78 by the horizontal direction along paper The distance of size.In the following description, the second hub 60 according to release shift fork 30 pivot be perpendicular to axis C and close to pivot The direction of the movement of turning point 36 will be defined as (the second hub 60) glide direction.The size in gap 78 is set to be greater than distally The size of the amount of movement along the direction being perpendicular to axis C of the pivot according to release shift fork 30 of end 30a.That is, gap 78 is big Little being set so that allows the second hub 60 to move along the direction being perpendicular to axis C during the pivot of release shift fork 30.
As it is shown on figure 3, the pair of notches 80 each with rectangular shape is formed in the second flange part 68 of the second hub 60 The position along glide direction.Otch 80 is formed with guide surface 80a, and guide surface 80a edge is parallel to the second hub 60 according to release The pivot of shift fork 30 and the glide direction slided extends.In addition, the rounded angle in the corner closer to axis C of otch 80 becomes circular arc Shape portion.
Additionally, a pair guide protrusion 82 engaging with the guide surface 80a of otch 80 is formed at the first flange of the first hub 58 In portion 64.Guide protrusion 82 is formed as highlighting from the first flange part 64 respectively, and engages with the guide surface 80a of pair of notches 80. Otch 80 (guide surface 80a) and guide protrusion 82 constitute guiding mechanism 83.By such guiding mechanism 83 being formed, when release is dialled During fork 30 pivot, the direction of the movement along the direction being perpendicular to axis C by the distal end portion 30a along release shift fork 30 for second hub 60 Guide, so that the second hub 60 smoothly moves along glide direction.Can also eliminate or reduce and apply when the second hub 60 moves Change to the load of the second hub 60.
As it is shown in figure 5, spring 84 is provided for when clutch 10 engages specifying the phase of the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 To position.One end of spring 84 and the first hub 58 abutting contact, and the other end and the second flange part 68 being formed at the second hub 60 On projection 86 abutting contact.Projection 86 by stay when forming the otch 80 of the second hub 60 second hub 60 a part and not Cut away it and described part bent to its position being parallel to axis C extension and is formed.Spring 84 is corresponding to the present invention's Elastic component.
Spring 84 and projection 86 abutting contact.When clutch 10 engages, the second hub 60 is moved to such as bottom by spring 84 Put:It is being not provided with the one of spring 84 when watching along the glide direction (horizontal direction on paper) of the second hub 60 shown in Fig. 3 Gap 78 on side (left-hand side on paper in Fig. 3) eliminates.That is, when clutch 10 engages, spring 84 makes the second hub 60 move The opposition side in the direction of the movement moved to the pivot according to release shift fork 30 with the second hub 60.Therefore, although gap 78 is formed The opposition side along glide direction in figure 3, but when clutch 10 engages, the second hub 60 is moved along glide direction by spring 84 Move to spring 84 side (right-hand side on paper) so that the gap 78 on the side (left-hand side on paper) being not provided with spring 84 disappears Remove.In other words, footpath is formed along between the outer peripheral face and the inner peripheral surface of tube 66 of the cylindrical portion 62 in spring 84 side for the glide direction To gap 78, and the size in gap 78 is equal to the gap 78 being formed along on the opposition side of the glide direction shown in Fig. 3 Summation.
The bias force of spring 84 is set as such amplitude:Make when clutch 10 engages upper (when release shift fork 30 not pivot When turning), the second shown in figure 3 hub 60 at least moves to spring 84 side along glide direction, and when along glide direction viewing When gap 78 be formed at spring 84 side.It is equal to or big more specifically, the bias force of spring 84 is adjusted to produce from spring 84 Friction between the bias force F1 and the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 of the diaphragm spring 26 in the case that clutch 10 engages The product of the coefficientoffrictionμ 2 between the distal end portion 30a of the sum of products biasing force F1 of coefficient μ 1 and release shift fork 30 and the second hub 60 The bias force of the summation (F1 × (μ 1+ μ 2)) of (F1 × μ 2).
In addition, the bias force of spring 84 is set in, in the range of exceeding value (F1 × (μ 1+ μ 2)) indicated above, from In the range of the increase of the pedal force on clutch pedal does not causes any problem.As shown in Figure 6, apply when clutch 10 engages It is minimum to the load (=F1 × (μ 1+ μ 2)) of spring 84, and be applied to the load of spring 84 and discharge with clutch 10 And increase.The bias force of spring 84 is set in the load producing when the clutch is engaged and the load producing when clutch discharges Between.
The operation of release bearing 32 configured as above will be described.When clutch 10 engages, the second hub 60 is at spring Spring 84 side (right on the paper of Fig. 3) is moved to along glide direction under the bias force of 84.Now, in figure 3, along glide direction Between being formed between the inner peripheral surface of the tube 66 of the outer peripheral face of the cylindrical portion 62 of the first hub 58 in spring 84 side and the second hub 60 Gap 78, and the outer peripheral face of cylindrical portion 62 and very close to each other between the inner peripheral surface of the tube 66 of the side being not provided with spring 84.
When release shift fork 30 is when clutch 10 discharges from engagement state and pivots, release bearing 32 is released shift fork 30 Pressing, and move along the direction of axis C towards diaphragm spring 26.Further, since the distal end portion 30a of release shift fork 30 is along camber line Mobile, power edge is perpendicular to axis C with distal end portion 30a's and is applied to close to the identical glide direction of the moving direction of pivotal point 36 The second hub 60 with the distal end portion 30a abutting contact of release shift fork 30.
In this, distal end portion 30a and the contact of the second hub 60 metal each other of shift fork 30 are discharged;Thus, these components Between coefficientoffrictionμ 2 to the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 between coefficientoffrictionμ 1 high.Therefore, the distally of shift fork 30 is discharged End 30a and the second hub 60 are mobile along glide direction (radial direction) as unit, and send out between the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 Raw slip.As a result, abrasion may be less likely to or between the far less likely to occur distal end portion 30a at release shift fork 30 and the second hub 60.
If slided between the first hub 58 and the second hub 60, then vertical from producing between the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 Frictional force Ff in the direction of axis C;But, because the coefficientoffrictionμ 1 between the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 is little, so rubbing Wiping power Ff is little.In this, move, by the cylindrical portion 62 of the first hub 58 sliding on retainer 52, the frictional force producing Fr also reduces.Therefore, the pedal force on clutch pedal may be less likely to or unlikely increase, and also suppresses or decrease circle The extraordinary noise producing between cylinder portion 62 and retainer 52.Coefficientoffrictionμ 1 between first hub 58 and the second hub 60 is low, and this is Because their contact is the contact between resin and metal, and between the first hub 58 and the second hub 60, grease coating is set, So that coefficientoffrictionμ 1 reduces further.
Release owing to the size in gap 78 is set to be greater than during the engagement state from clutch 10 is transitioned into release conditions Put the amount of movement of the distal end portion 30a of shift fork 30 along glide direction, so allowing the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 to release at clutch 10 Slide in the range of putting.Therefore, from the engagement state of clutch 10 be transitioned into release conditions period the second hub 60 may be less likely to or Unlikely stop sliding, and discharge the distal end portion 30a of shift fork 30 and the second hub 60 may be less likely to or unlikely slides each other Dynamic slip contiguously or mobile.Additionally, when clutch 10 engages, the second hub 60 is moved to original at the bias force of spring 84 Position, and the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 necessarily can be made to slide when clutch 10 discharges.
Further, since the guide surface 80a of the otch 80 that the guide protrusion 82 of the first hub 58 is with the second hub 60 engages, so working as When first hub 58 and the second hub 60 slide, guide protrusion 82 moves along guide surface 80a.Therefore, the second hub 60 is put down along glide direction Slidingly mobile, and suppress the increase of load.Further, since the rounded angle in the corner of otch 80 becomes the shape of arc-shaped, so These parts may be less likely to or unlikely engage with the first hub 58.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the edge forming the pivot allowing the second hub 60 according to release shift fork 30 is perpendicular to The gap 78 of the movement in the direction of axis C;Therefore, when the distal end portion 30a discharging shift fork 30 abuts the second hub 60 and pivots, the Two hubs 60 move along the direction identical with the distal end portion 30a of release shift fork 30.Dial therefore, it is possible to suppression appears in release originally Abrasion between the distal end portion 30a of fork 30 and the second hub 60.Further, since there is no need the distal end portion 30a at release shift fork 30 With second provide rolling member between hub 60 so that suppression abrasion, so preventing structure from becoming complicated.
Additionally, according to the present embodiment, spring 84 be provided for when clutch 10 engages moving to the second hub 60 with The opposition side of the moving direction along the direction being perpendicular to axis C of the pivot according to release shift fork 30 of the second hub 60.Therefore, when When clutch 10 discharges, the second hub 60 can be ensured that movement.
Additionally, according to the present embodiment, the direction guiding mechanism 83 to be provided for along being perpendicular to axis C guides the second hub 60.Therefore, can eliminate when the second hub 60 is mobile according to the pivot of release shift fork 30 and to be applied to the load of the second hub 60 Change.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the first hub 58 is formed by resin material, and the second hub 60 and release shift fork 30 are by gold Belong to material to be formed.Therefore, the coefficient of friction between the first hub 58 and the second hub 60 is low, and can when discharging shift fork 30 and pivoting The first hub 58 and the second hub 60 is made to slide.
Although one embodiment of the present of invention being described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be in other forms Application.
For example, the outer peripheral face of the cylindrical portion 62 by the first hub 58 of pruning for the gap 78 and formed;But, they also can pass through Prune the inner peripheral surface of tube 66 of the second hub 60 and formed.
In the above-described embodiments, when clutch 10 engages, the second hub 60 moves to along glide direction by spring 84 Spring 84 side, thus gap 78 is formed at a position.But, as it is shown on figure 3, when clutch 10 engages, also may be used in gap 78 To be formed at two positions.
Although guiding mechanism 83 to be arranged on two positions in the above-described embodiments, but guide the quantity of the position of mechanism 83 It is not limited to two, but can be a position.In addition, guide mechanism 83 not necessarily necessary, but can omit.
It should be understood that an only embodiment described above, and knowing based on those skilled in the art Knowing, the present invention can be implemented by various changes and/or improvement.
