Friction clutch 18 is used to connect and disconnects the transmission of the moment of torsion of bent axle 17 to transmission input shaft 21, and carries out M/C during with hand grip clutch lever 9 as the rider.As shown in accompanying drawing 2, friction clutch 18 has clutch outer member 23, clutch bushing 24, several friction linings 25, several clutch segments 26, clutch spring 27 and clutch release mechanism 28.
Clutch outer member 23 is rotatably supported on the left end of input shaft 21 through bearing 30.Deceleration big gear wheel 31 is connected on the end of clutch outer member 23 coaxially.Deceleration big gear wheel 31 and reduction pinion teeth 19 engagement fit.This cooperation allows the moment of torsion of bent axle 17 to pass to clutch outer member 23.
Clutch bushing 24 is fixed on the left end of input shaft 21, thereby can rotate with input shaft 21.Clutch bushing 24 by clutch outer member 23 around, and have towards outstanding several sleeve parts 32 (only showing one of them in the accompanying drawing 2) of clutch cover back plate 20.
Friction lining 25 is bearing on the neighboring of clutch outer member 23.Friction lining 25 can rotate with clutch outer member 23, and be arranged on coaxially at certain intervals input shaft 21 axially on.
Clutch segment 26 is bearing on the neighboring of clutch bushing 24.Clutch segment 26 can rotate with clutch bushing 24, and each clutch segment 26 all extends between adjacent friction lining 25.Therefore, friction lining 25 and clutch segment 26 alternately are arranged in the clutch outer member 23.
In the present embodiment, diaphragm spring is as clutch spring 27.Clutch spring 27 is positioned on the left end and clutch bushing 24 of clutch outer member 23, and is bearing on the end of sleeve part 32.Clutch spring 27 is pressed against friction lining 25 on the clutch segment 26 consistently through pressure plate 33.Thereby, between friction lining 25 and clutch segment 26, produce friction force, and with friction clutch 18 remain on can transfer torque clutch in (clutch-In) state.
Clutch release mechanism 28 is used for the pressure that releasing clutch spring 27 is produced on friction lining 25.In the present embodiment, clutch release mechanism 28 is the rack-and-pinion type.Clutch release mechanism 28 has catch bar 37 and catch bar axle 39, and this catch bar has tooth bar 36, and this catch bar axle has gear 38.
Catch bar 37 is rotatably supported in the centre of pressure plate 33 by bearing 35, and with input shaft 21 coaxial positioning.Catch bar 37 is also by clutch cover back plate 20 supporting, be used for towards with away from the direction of input shaft 21 on slide and move.

Accompanying drawing 4 and accompanying drawing 5 show the state of servomechanism 52 when clutch lever 9 is in home position.When clutch lever 9 was positioned at home position, second axis of revolution 74 of connecting panel 72 and the 3rd axis of revolution 76 that is connected lever 73 were positioned at below revolution terminal 86 that connects spring perch 81 and the straight line S1 that is connected end 89.Simultaneously, spring installation 59 tilts to make that the ratio revolution terminal 86 of terminal 89 location of connection of spring perch 81 is higher.In addition, the cam groove 71 of connecting panel 72 cover body 53 vertically on extend, and remain on position protruding upward.
When the rider cooperated the starting position to move from home position towards disengaging clutch lever 9, first rotatable member 57 upwards spurred through first clutch backguy 43a, and rotates on the clockwise direction shown in the arrow in accompanying drawing 10 and accompanying drawing 11.The rotation of rotatable member 57 makes the lever part 62 with cam groove 71 move down.Therefore, the cam follower 79 that contacts with cam groove 71 is subjected to its power that promotes previously towards cover body 53, and connecting panel 72 be connected lever 73 and rotate in the counterclockwise direction.As a result, spring installation 59 rotates around revolution terminal 86.
Break away from when cooperating starting positions when clutch lever 9 arrives, second is positioned at the revolution terminal 86 that is connected spring perch 81 with the 3rd axis of revolution 74 and 76 and is connected on the straight line S1 of end 89, as shown in accompanying drawing 11.Therefore, although on the propelling thrust of assist spring 82 is applied to connecting panel 72 and is connected lever 73, propelling thrust can not make connecting panel 72 be connected lever 73 and rotate.
When clutch lever 9 from break away from cooperating the starting position towards breaking away from cooperation position when moving, first rotatable member 57 continues to rotate in the clockwise direction.The rotation of first rotatable member 57 makes the lever part 62 with cam groove 71 move down, and cam groove 71 is on the vertical position.Therefore, the cam follower 79 that contacts with cam groove 71 is subjected to it obliquely downwards towards the power that promotes previously of cover body 53, and connecting panel 72 be connected lever 73 and rotate in the counterclockwise direction.
In the present embodiment, when clutch lever 9 cooperates the starting position to move to the disengaging cooperation position from breaking away from, spring installation 59 rotates around revolution terminal 86, and the straight line S1 that connects the revolution terminal 86 of spring installation 59 and be connected end 89 is offset to the position below connecting panel 72 and the center of turn that is connected lever 73.
Therefore, the spring perch 81 that is subjected to the propelling thrust of assist spring 82 launches, and the propelling thrust of assist spring 82 act as connecting panel 72 and the power that is connected lever 73 rotations of making.So, when clutch lever 9 moves past and breaks away from when cooperating the starting position towards breaking away from cooperation position, assist spring 82 force to make connecting panel 72 be connected lever 73 and rotate in the counterclockwise direction.Therefore, the propelling thrust of assist spring 82 and rider apply and are used for the promptly operating effort stack of clutch lever 9.So, can reduce to act on the rider's of operated clutch bar 9 load.
According to present embodiment, cam groove 71 determines connecting panels 72 and is connected the time that lever 73 is accepted the propelling thrust of spring installation 59 and moved in the counterclockwise direction.More particularly, cam groove 71 belong to when clutch lever 9 from the mid point that break away to cooperate the starting position and break away from cooperation position towards breaking away from cooperation position when moving, can with from connecting panel 72 be connected propelling thrust that lever 73 is applied to the assist spring 82 on first rotatable member 57 and remain on shape in the fixed range.
In other words, cam groove 71 belongs to when clutch lever 9 moves to mid point from break away from cooperating the starting position and allows connecting panel 72 and be connected the shape that lever 73 moves, with move to when breaking away from cooperation position from mid point at clutch lever 9, restriction connecting panel 72 be connected lever 73 and move shape to prevent that assist spring 82 from freely launching.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the cam mechanism control assist spring 82 that is made of cam groove 71 and cam follower 79 is applied to the propelling thrust on first rotatable member 57.
In accompanying drawing 15, characteristic curve Y show when clutch lever 9 breaking away from the direction that cooperates when mobile with friction clutch 18, be applied to the variation of the load on the clutch lever 9.As can finding out on from characteristic curve Y, the load that is applied on the clutch lever 9 always cooperates starting positions when the disengaging cooperation position moves less than passing through when clutch lever 9 to break away from, and clutch spring 27 is applied to the load on the catch bar 40.This is because when the power of transmitting by first clutch backguy 43a makes that connecting panel 72 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, forces to make that the propelling thrust of the assist spring 82 that connecting panel 72 rotates in the counterclockwise direction obtains stack.
In addition, in the present embodiment, because the shape of cam groove 71 is definite like that as described above, so when clutch lever 9 moved to the disengaging cooperation position from breaking away from the mid point that cooperates between starting position and the disengaging cooperation position, the load that is applied on the clutch lever 9 can keep constant substantially.As a result, be applied to the load on the catch bar 40 and be applied to load on the clutch lever 9 with respect to the path increment of backguy with similar changing features, as shown in accompanying drawing 15.
As previously mentioned, when clutch lever 9 is in home position, the 3rd axis of revolution 76 of second axis of revolution 74 of connecting panel 72 and connection lever 73 is positioned at below the revolution terminal 86 and the straight line S1 between the connection terminal 80 that connects spring perch 81, as shown in accompanying drawing 4 and accompanying drawing 5.Therefore, connecting panel 72 be connected lever 73 and promoted in the clockwise direction, just, make friction clutch 18 disconnect on the relative direction of bonded assembly directions at propelling thrust with assist spring 82.
The power that promotes connecting panel 72 in the clockwise direction plays the effect of balanced thrust, and this balanced thrust overcomes makes clutch lever 9 turn to the power that breaks away from the cooperation starting position from home position.As a result, if any variation does not take place, then promptly clutch lever 9 needed initial input load increase, and the operating characteristic of clutch lever 9 affects adversely.
Therefore, in the operating assist device 50 of present embodiment, cancellation spring installation 100 is arranged in the cover body 53 of outer cover 51.As shown in accompanying drawing 4 and accompanying drawing 14, cover body 53 has and is used to hold the case member 101 of cancelling spring installation 100.This case member 101 is positioned at the bottom of the rear end of cover body 53, and is positioned on the side of the second backguy intake 96.

Cam groove 71 is between the first mating holes 69a and the second mating holes 69b.Cam groove 71 is crooked slit, and this slit caves in towards the first mating holes 69a.
Second rotatable member 58 of first embodiment has connecting panel 72 and is connected lever 73 (referring to accompanying drawing 4).On the contrary, second rotatable member 58 of present embodiment only is made of connecting panel 72, as shown in accompanying drawing 19.This connecting panel 72 is positioned on the opposite side of first rotatable member 57.Connecting panel 72 by the sleeve part 75 (referring to accompanying drawing 24) of cover body 53 through second axis of revolution, 74 rotatably supports.
The first pin 78a combines with connecting panel 72, and this first pin 78a extends to the front side of first rotatable member 57.As the cam follower 79 of roller and so on by this first pin 78a rotatably support.Cam follower 79 is arranged in cam groove 71, and contacts with the inside face of cam groove 71.
Therefore, when first rotatable member 57 or 58 rotations of second rotatable member, cam groove 71 and cam follower 79 can pass to second rotatable member 58 from first rotatable member 57 with power, perhaps pass to first rotatable member 57 from second rotatable member 58.This cam groove 71 and cam follower 79 have constituted cam mechanism.
The structure of spring installation 59 is basically the same as those in the first embodiment.Yet in the present embodiment, spring installation 59 is fixed on the diverse location place with different attitudes.As shown in accompanying drawing 21, in the present embodiment, mount pad 87 is arranged on the rear end (right hand end in the accompanying drawing 21) in the cover body 53, and this mount pad is used for the revolution end 86 of support spring device 59.Spring installation 59 extends forward or extension (referring to accompanying drawing 23) forward obliquely from the rear end in cover body 53.
As shown in accompanying drawing 19, the terminal 89 process pins 90 of the connection of spring installation 59 are pivotally connected on the connecting panel 72 of second rotatable member 58.When clutch lever 9 is positioned at when break away from cooperating starting position (state shown in the accompanying drawing 19), the revolution of spring perch 81 terminal 86 and be connected end 89, and all be positioned on the straight line S1 as second axis of revolution 74 of the center of turn of second rotatable member 58.
Accompanying drawing 20 and accompanying drawing 21 show when clutch lever 9 is in home position, the state of servomechanism 52.When clutch lever 9 was in home position, second axis of revolution 74 of connecting panel 72 was positioned at revolution terminal 86 that connects spring perch 81 and the straight line S1 top that is connected terminal 89, as shown in accompanying drawing 21.Cam follower 79 is positioned at the left end of cam groove 71.
When the rider cooperated the starting position to move from home position towards disengaging clutch lever 9, first rotatable member 57 upwards spurred through first clutch backguy 43a, and rotates in the clockwise direction around first axis of revolution 63.The rotation of this first rotatable member 57 causes cam groove 71 also to rotate in the clockwise direction around axis of revolution 63 and moves up.Therefore, the cam follower 79 that contacts with cam groove 71 is subjected to the power with its promotion that makes progress, and connecting panel 72 rotates in the counterclockwise direction around second axis of revolution 74.As a result, spring installation 59 rotates in the clockwise direction around revolution terminal 86.
When clutch lever 9 arrived place, disengaging cooperation starting position, second axis of revolution 74 was positioned at the revolution terminal 86 that connects spring perch 81 and is connected on the straight line S1 of end 89, as shown in accompanying drawing 19.Therefore, the propelling thrust of assist spring 82 does not act on and makes connecting panel 72 rotate.
When clutch lever 9 from break away from cooperating the starting position towards breaking away from cooperation position when moving, first rotatable member 57 further rotates in the clockwise direction.The rotation of this first rotatable member 57 causes cam groove 71 further to rotate around axis of revolution 63, and moves up.At this moment, cam groove 71 moves to horizontal position on the whole.As a result, the cam follower 79 that contacts with cam groove 71 is subjected to its top or anterior power that promotes towards cover body 53, and connecting panel 72 further rotates in the counterclockwise direction.
When clutch lever 9 cooperated the starting position to move to the disengaging cooperation position from breaking away from, spring installation 59 further rotated in the clockwise direction around revolution terminal 86.Like this, connect the revolution terminal 86 and center of turn (axis of revolution 74) the upwards skew of the straight line S1 that is connected end 89 of spring perch 81 from connecting panel 72.
Therefore, the spring perch 81 that is subjected to the propelling thrust of assist spring 82 launches, and the propelling thrust of assist spring 82 passes to connecting panel 72, and plays the effect of the plate 72 that is rotationally connected in the counterclockwise direction.So when clutch lever 9 is moved beyond and breaks away from when cooperating the starting position towards breaking away from cooperation position, assist spring 82 is forced to make connecting panel 72 rotate in the counterclockwise direction.Therefore, the propelling thrust of assist spring 82 rider that is added to applies and is used for the promptly operating effort of clutch lever 9, and can reduce the load to the rider of operated clutch bar 9.
In the present embodiment, cam groove 71 same decision connecting panels 72 were subjected to from the propelling thrust of spring installation 59 and the time that begins to rotate in the counterclockwise direction.When clutch lever 9 cooperated the starting position to move to the disengaging cooperation position from breaking away from, cam groove 71 also belonged to the shape that changes angular rate, and this angular rate is the cireular frequency of second rotatable member 58 and the ratio of the cireular frequency of first rotatable member 57.Cam groove 71 belongs at clutch lever 9 and moves to the starting stage of mid point from break away from cooperating the starting position, the propelling thrust (when rotating first rotatable member 57 especially, in the clockwise direction) that passes to the assist spring 82 of first rotatable member 57 through connecting panel 72 can be than the shape of the quicker increase of conventional equipment.
Accompanying drawing 34 shows the modified characteristics of propelling thrust Z0 in the modified characteristics of propelling thrust Z of assist spring 82 and the conventional equipment contrastively.The gradient of the characteristic ascent stage of propelling thrust Z is greater than the gradient in the conventional equipment in the servomechanism 52.
Herein, conventional equipment is a kind of like this device, wherein the rotatable member that links to each other with clutch release mechanism directly is connected with assist spring, rotatable member rotates with identical speed with assist spring, and assist spring can freely launch (for example, disclosed device in the patent document 1) along with the rotation of rotatable member.
