Background
The clutch is positioned in a flywheel shell between the engine and the gearbox, the clutch assembly is fixed on the rear plane of the flywheel by screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the gearbox. During the running of the automobile, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal according to the requirement, so that the engine and the gearbox are temporarily separated and gradually jointed, and the power input by the engine to the gearbox is cut off or transmitted.
The clutch generally includes a wet clutch and a dry-wet clutch, and the wet clutch is widely used due to the advantages of simple operation, low failure rate, good heat dissipation, long service life and the like. In a conventional wet clutch, friction plates and steel plates are alternately arranged between a hub and a bush of the clutch, and engagement and disengagement of the clutch are performed by pressing and releasing a clutch piston.
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for low fuel consumption of automobiles, and in an automatic transmission, in order to reduce power loss when a clutch is not engaged, it has been increasingly demanded to reduce drag torque between a friction plate and a steel plate.
However, in recent years, in order to improve the fuel efficiency and improve the shift response for the purpose of improving the power performance, there is a tendency that: the clearance between the friction plate and the steel sheet is smaller than that of the conventional one, and at the time of idling, the drag torque generated by the oil film interposed therebetween is increased, and the heat radiation performance of the friction plate is still to be improved.
