Further, the terms "axial", "circumferential" and "radial" in the following embodiments are used with respect to the electromagnetic clutch device.

In a transmission system, one path of power input is often connected with two paths of power output, the two paths of power output are in an alternative switching mode, two electromagnetic clutches are required to be arranged to be respectively responsible for one path of power output in the related technology, and when the design requirement is harsh on the weight and the installation size of the clutches, the use requirement cannot be met. In view of the above, the present disclosure provides an improved electromagnetic clutch to replace the conventional two electromagnetic clutches to reduce the overall weight and size of the battery clutch.

As shown in fig. 1, the present disclosure provides an electromagnetic clutch device, which in some embodiments includes: the first member 1, the second member 2, and the third member 3 are coaxially arranged, and the third member 3 is located between the first member 1 and the second member 2 in the axial direction. These three components may be independent of each other prior to installation into the transmission system.

Wherein, the first component 1 comprises a mounting seat 11, a first combining piece 12 and a coil 16 arranged between the mounting seat 11 and the first combining piece 12 along the axial direction, the first combining piece 12 is rotatablely arranged around the axial line of the electromagnetic clutch device relative to the mounting seat 11 and is configured to output power. The mounting seat 11 may be in an annular structure, and an annular groove is formed on an end surface of the mounting seat 11 facing the third component 3, the coil 16 is disposed in the annular groove, and the coil 16 is powered through a power supply interface 15 disposed on the mounting seat 11.

The first coupling member 12 includes an annular base portion 121 and a sleeve portion 122, the annular base portion 121 is located at one end of the mounting seat 11 facing the third member 3 and covers the coil 16, the sleeve portion 122 is coaxially connected to a radial inner end of the annular base portion 121 and extends in an inner hole of the annular base portion 121, and the bearing 14 is disposed between the mounting seat 11 and the sleeve portion 122, for example, one bearing 14 may be disposed, or at least two bearings 14 may be disposed at intervals along the axial direction in order to balance the force applied when the clutch device is operated. The outer region of the annular base portion 121 in the radial direction on the end surface of the third member 3 may be provided with teeth to form a dog-tooth electromagnetic clutch, or provided with a friction surface to form a friction electromagnetic clutch.

The mounting base 11 and the first coupling member 12 may be made of a material that can be magnetized, such as electrician pure iron, to form a magnetic circuit around the mounting base 11 and the first coupling member 12 when the coil 16 is energized.

The second component 2 includes a second joint 21 configured to output power. Depending on the type of clutch, the second coupling member 21 may be provided with teeth, friction surfaces, or the like, in a radially outer region of the end surface of the third member 3. The second bonding member 21 may include a connection disc 211 and a ring structure 212, the ring structure 212 being connected to a radially outer end of the connection disc 211 for coupling with the bonding ring 33, and the connection force between the ring gear 22 and the second bonding member 21 can be increased by providing the connection disc 211. Alternatively, the connection disc 211 and the ring structure 212 are designed as an integral structure.

The third component 3 is configured to receive input power. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the third part 3 includes a connection piece 31, an armature 32, and a coupling ring 33. The connecting piece 31 can be connected with an input shaft 34, the axial position of the connecting piece 31 is fixed in the working process, the combining ring 33 is sleeved outside the connecting piece 31, and the connecting piece 31 can adopt an annular or disc-shaped structure. The armature 32 is arranged axially on the side of the connecting piece 31 facing the first component 1, a first stop element 36 is movably arranged on the armature 32, and a second stop element 37 is arranged on the connecting piece 31. The coupling ring 33 may be provided with teeth, friction surfaces, and the like along radially outer regions of both axial end surfaces depending on the type of clutch device.

The armature 32 and the coupling ring 33 may be made of a material that can be magnetized, such as electrician pure iron, so that the electromagnetic force generated when the coil 16 is energized attracts the armature 32 and the coupling ring 33 toward the first component 1, thereby coupling the coupling ring 33 with the first coupling member 12. The term "coupled" as used herein means capable of transmitting input power by means of tooth engagement and friction.

As shown in fig. 3, when the coil 16 is powered off, the first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37 are in limiting engagement to limit the movement of the coupling ring 33 and the armature 32 toward the first component 1, so that the coupling ring 33 is coupled to the second coupling member 21, and the coupling ring 33 is disengaged from the first coupling member 12, and power is output only through the second component 2.

As shown in fig. 1, the armature 32 has a projection 321, which extends radially beyond the connecting piece 31, in the circumferential direction, the end face of the projection 321 facing away from the first component 1 resting against the coupling ring 33. Since the position of the connecting member 31 remains unchanged, the position of the armature 32 is fixed by the limit fit of the first limit stop 36 and the second limit stop 37. Further, the coupling ring 33 also remains positionally fixed by the abutting action of the projection 321. At this time, the coupling ring 33 is reliably coupled to the second coupling member 21, and power can be output through the second member 2.

When a first predetermined electrical signal is applied to the coil 16, for example, a first predetermined current is applied, under the action of electromagnetic force, the first limiting member 36 is released from limiting engagement with the second limiting member 37, and the coupling ring 33 and the armature 32 move relative to the connecting member 31 in a direction approaching the first component 1 until the coupling ring 33 is coupled with the first coupling member 12, at which time the coupling ring 33 is disengaged from the second coupling member 21, and at which time power is output only through the first component 1.

The electromagnetic clutch device can selectively output input power through the first combining piece 12 or the second combining piece 21, has reliable power output, can improve the flexibility of power output in a transmission system, and reduces the whole weight and the installation size of the clutch device.

On the basis of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, when the coil 16 is fed with the second preset electrical signal, under the action of electromagnetic force, the first limiting member 36 is released from limiting engagement with the second limiting member 37, and the coupling ring 33 and the armature 32 move relative to the connecting member 31 in the direction approaching the first component 1 until the coupling ring 33 is disengaged from the first coupling member 12 and the second coupling member 21, that is, there are gaps between the two end faces of the coupling ring 33 in the axial direction and the first coupling member 12 and the second coupling member 21, respectively; the second predetermined electrical signal is less than the first predetermined electrical signal. For example, a first predetermined current is applied to the coil 16, and a second predetermined current is smaller than the first predetermined current.

When a second preset electric signal is input into the electromagnetic clutch device, the limit matching of the first limit part 36 and the second limit part 37 can be disabled, the coupling ring 33 and the armature 32 reach the neutral position under the magnetic action, and enter the neutral position state, so that the first coupling part 12 and the second coupling part 21 do not output power. Thus, the electromagnetic clutch device can be switched among the neutral position, the first power output and the second power output.

As shown in fig. 2, the third part 3 further comprises a hinge seat 35 provided on a peripheral side wall of the armature 32; the second stopper 37 is provided on an end surface of the connection piece 31 facing the armature 32, and is located radially outside the armature 32; the first retaining member 36 has a first end rotatably connected to the hinge base 35 in a plane passing through the axis, and a second end configured to cooperate with the first retaining member 36 to retain the coil 16 when the coil is de-energized.

In this embodiment, the first stopper 36 is rotationally switched between the two states of stopping and stopping, the axial space of the electromagnetic clutch can be saved, and the state switching can be reliably performed. Alternatively, the first limiting member 36 can be axially moved to switch between the limiting state and the releasing state.

As shown in fig. 2, an insert 361 is disposed at a position of the first end of the first position-limiting member 36 radially away from the hinge base 35, and the insert 361 can be attracted by the electromagnetic force generated by the coil 16 when the coil is energized, so that the first position-limiting member 36 rotates to release the position-limiting engagement with the second position-limiting member 37. For example, the insert 361 may be made of a material that can be magnetized, such as electrician pure iron, and the remaining portion of the first position-limiting member 36 except for the insert 361 is made of a material that has no magnetization characteristic.

Because the insert 361 is located at a position where the first limiting member 36 is far away from the hinge base 35, when the coil 16 is energized, only the top end of the first limiting member 36 is attracted, the first limiting member 36 can be attracted to rotate by a small electromagnetic force, and a radial force applied to a rotating shaft between the first limiting member 36 and the hinge base 35 can be reduced, so that the rotation is more flexible, and the reliability of the state switching of the clutch device is improved.

As shown in fig. 2, the second limiting member 37 extends outward from the end surface of the armature 32 to form a groove 371 between the second limiting member 37 and the end surface of the connecting member 31, and in a state that the first limiting member 36 is in limiting fit with the second limiting member 37, the second end of the first limiting member 36 is embedded in the groove 371 and abuts against the coupling ring 33. For example, the first position-limiting member 36 is a trigger, and the second position-limiting member 37 is a hook.

On this basis, as shown in fig. 5, the second limiting member 37 is provided with a guide groove 372 on a side wall facing the connecting member 31, and the guide groove 372 is connected to the notch of the groove 371 and configured to guide the first limiting member 36 to be separated from the groove 371 and limit the first limiting member 36 to be completely separated from the second limiting member 37.

Specifically, the portion of the guide groove 372 adjacent to the notch has a first inclined surface to guide the first limiting member 36 to be separated from the groove 371, the portion of the guide groove 372 away from the notch has a second inclined surface, the second inclined surface is connected to the first inclined surface, and the inclination angle of the second inclined surface relative to the axis is increased to limit the first limiting member 36 to be completely separated from the second limiting member 37, so that the first limiting member 36 is easily re-inserted into the groove 371 after the coil 16 is powered off.

By providing the groove 371 and the guide groove 372 on the second limiting member 37, the smoothness and reliability of the clutch device can be improved when different states are switched.

As shown in fig. 1, the coupling ring 33 includes: an annular portion 331 fitted around the connecting member 31 and axially movably disposed with respect to the connecting member 31; and a first annular extension part 332 and a second annular extension part 333 which are respectively connected to two ends of the annular part 331 along the axial direction, wherein the first annular extension part 332 is used for being coupled with the first coupling member 12, the second annular extension part 333 is used for being coupled with the second coupling member 21, an accommodating space Q is formed between the first annular extension part 332 and the armature 32, and the first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37 are located in the accommodating space Q.

The embodiment can make full use of the radial space between the armature 32 and the coupling ring 33 to arrange the first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37, so that the structure in the battery clutch device is more compact, and the occupied space during installation is reduced; and the first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37 are disposed on the radial inner side of the first annular extension 332, so as to prevent foreign matters from entering the groove 371 during the use of the battery clutch device, thereby ensuring reliable switching of the working state of the clutch.

As shown in fig. 2, the third component 3 further includes a first reset element 381, disposed between the first limiting member 36 and the armature 32, configured to reset the first limiting member 36 to be in limiting fit with the second limiting member 37 in the power-off state of the coil 16, specifically, to enable a second end of the first limiting member 36 to enter the groove 371.

As shown in fig. 6, the end surface of the armature 32 facing the first member 1 is provided with a receiving hole 322, the bottom of the receiving hole 322 is provided with a guide hole 323, the inner diameter of the guide hole 323 is smaller than that of the receiving hole 322, and the third member 3 further includes: a guide member 39 including a guide column 391 and a stopper 392 coupled to a first end of the guide column 391, a second end of the guide column 391 passes through the guide hole 323 from the receiving hole 322 to be coupled to the coupling member 31, the guide column 391 being movably disposed in the guide hole 323; and a second reset element 382 sleeved on the guide post 391 and located between the limiting table 392 and the bottom of the accommodating hole 322 for resetting the armature 32, further, the armature 32 pushes the coupling ring 33 to be reset to be coupled with the second coupler 21 through the protrusion 321.

In practice, the second reset element 382 may be disposed at intervals along the circumferential direction to provide a balanced reset force for the armature 32 and the coupling ring 33, the limit matching structure formed by the first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37 may also be disposed at intervals along the circumferential direction to provide a balanced limit effect for the armature 32 and the coupling ring 33, and the second reset element 382 and the limit matching structure may be alternately disposed along the axial direction.

On the basis of the above embodiment, the first member 1 further comprises an output shaft 13, the output shaft 13 being coaxially connected to the first coupling member 12 and protruding from a side remote from the third member 3. Specifically, the output shaft 13 is inserted into the sleeve portion 122 of the first coupling member 12 to be fitted, and may be connected by, for example, a flat key 131 or a spline or the like. The second part 2 further comprises a toothed ring 22, the toothed ring 22 being coaxially connected to the second coupling member 21 on a side remote from the third part 3, e.g. the toothed ring 22 may be provided with at least one of internal or external toothing for power transmission in mesh with other gears. The third component 3 further comprises an input shaft 34, the second coupling member 21 is provided with a through hole along the axial direction, and the input shaft 34 is coaxially connected to the connecting member 31 and extends from the through hole and the hole of the toothed ring 22. For example, the end of the input shaft 34 connected to the connecting member 31 may have a disk-like structure to facilitate connection of the ends of the connecting member 31 to provide a connection area.

Since the third member 3 is disposed between the first member 1 and the second member 2, the input shaft 34 is protruded from the through hole of the second coupling member 21 and the hole of the ring gear 22, and the radial dimension of the electromagnetic clutch device can be reduced.

Alternatively, the first coupling member 12 may output power by connecting a ring gear at its outer periphery, the second coupling member 21 may output power by connecting an output shaft, the coupling ring 33 may receive input power by connecting a ring gear at its outer periphery, and the like.

In the above embodiment, the electromagnetic clutch is a dog clutch, the end surfaces of the coupling ring 33 and the first coupling member 12 opposite to each other in the axial direction are provided with a first pair of engaging teeth, and the end surfaces of the coupling ring 33 and the second coupling member 21 opposite to each other in the axial direction are provided with a second pair of engaging teeth.

Alternatively, the electromagnetic clutch is a friction-type electromagnetic clutch, the coupling ring 33 and the first coupling member 12 are provided with first mating friction surfaces on axially opposite end surfaces, and the coupling ring 33 and the second coupling member 21 are provided with second mating friction surfaces on axially opposite end surfaces.

The operation of the battery clutch device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 3 to 6. Since fig. 3 to 6 show only one side of the axis in a structural view, the second reduction element 382 is shown in a cross section of the first reduction element 381 in order to be able to embody both the first reduction element 381 and the second reduction element 382. The electromagnetic clutch device receives power input through the input shaft 34, and has three working states:

1. the first state:

as shown in fig. 4, the coil 16 is in a power-off state, no magnetic field is generated, the first limit member 36 is embedded into the groove 371 under the action of the first reset element 381, and axially limits the armature 32 and the coupling ring 33, so that the coupling ring 33 is coupled to the second coupling member 21, and the rotation of the input shaft 34 drives the third component 3, the second coupling member 21 and the toothed ring 22 to rotate, so as to output power through the toothed ring 22 on the right side of the second coupling member 21.

Due to the weak elastic action of the second reset element 382, the limit cooperation between the first limit piece 36 and the second limit piece 37 can provide enough pressing force for the power transmission of the gear ring 22, thereby improving the reliability of the power transmission.

2. The second state:

when the coil 16 is energized with a first predetermined electrical signal, a first magnetic field is generated, the insert 361 on the first position-limiting member 36 overcomes the acting force of the first reset element 381 under the action of electromagnetic force, and rotates around the rotating shaft on the hinge base 35, so that the second end of the first position-limiting member 36 is disengaged from the groove 371, and fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a state at the moment of energization.

As shown in fig. 5, the second end of the first limiting member 36 is pulled out of the groove 371 and moves outwards along the first inclined surface of the guiding groove 372 until the second inclined surface is limited and stops rotating. At this time, the limit cooperation between the first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37 is released, the armature 32 moves toward the first component 1 under the action of magnetic force against the action of the second reset element 382, a gap occurs between the armature 32 and the connecting member 31, the coupling ring 33 also moves toward the first component 1 under the action of magnetic force until being coupled to the first coupling member 12, and the rotation of the input shaft 34 drives the third component 3, the first coupling member 12 and the output shaft 13 to rotate, so that power is transmitted through the output shaft 13 connected to the first coupling member 12.

3. The third state:

in contrast to the second state, the coil 16 is fed with a second predetermined electrical signal, which is smaller than the first predetermined electrical signal, to generate a second magnetic field that is weaker than the first magnetic field.

After the limit cooperation between the first limit part 36 and the second limit part 37 is released, the armature 32 moves toward the first component 1 under the action of magnetic force against the action of the second reset element 382, a gap occurs between the armature 32 and the connecting piece 31, the coupling ring 33 also moves toward the first component 1 under the action of magnetic force until both end faces of the coupling ring 33 along the axial direction are separated from the first coupling member 12 and the second coupling member 21, and the rotation of the input shaft 34 is not transmitted to the first coupling member 12 and the second coupling member 21, and is in a neutral state.

The electromagnetic clutch device disclosed by the invention is only provided with one set of coil 16, one-way input and two-way selective output can be realized, the functions of two traditional clutches are integrated, the output power of the second part 2 on the right side is increased compared with the traditional clutches, and in addition, the scheme disclosed by the invention is completely different from the structural mode that two clutches are integrated simply by arranging two sets of coils 16. Moreover, since the power output of the second member 2 is ensured by the effect of the limit structure, a larger and more stable torque output can be provided, and the loss of the tooth speed can be prevented when applied to the dog-type electromagnetic clutch. In addition, the arrangement space and the weight are greatly reduced, and the reduction can be about 40%.

The principles and embodiments of the present disclosure are explained herein using specific examples, which are set forth only to help understand the method and its core ideas of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is possible to make several improvements and modifications to the present disclosure without departing from the principle of the present disclosure, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure.
