Description

[0001] Wet type multi-plate clutch with lubrication function operated together with piston [0002]

The present invention relates to a wet multi-plate clutch, and more particularly, to a multi-plate clutch that forms a stable supply path of oil toward a contact area between a friction disc and a clutch disc of a multiple disc clutch, To a wet multi-plate clutch having a piston-interlocked lubrication function capable of effectively reducing wear and heat generation between a friction disk and a clutch disk by making it possible to depend on the axial displacement of the piston for the friction disk and the clutch disk.

Generally, a wet multi-plate clutch corresponds to a mechanical element that enables power transmission by selectively connecting two different power transmission elements in an automatic transmission. The wet multi-plate clutch is also used for switching the power transmission mode between the two-wheel drive mode 2H and the four-wheel drive mode 4H in the transfer case.

For example, the multi-plate clutch 5 disclosed in the torque-on-demand device of the four-wheel drive vehicle of Patent No. 10-0864586 is installed between the input shaft 1 and the clutch drum 3 to generate magnetic force by the electromagnet 11 So as to perform a coupling action for power transmission.

To this end, the multi-plate clutch 5 includes a clutch hub 21 spline-coupled to the input shaft 1, a plurality of clutch discs alternately installed between the clutch hub 21 and the clutch drum 3, .

In the conventional multi-plate clutch 5 having such a structure, an appropriate amount of oil is supplied to the contact area between the clutch disc and the clutch plate during tightening to positively reduce wear and heat due to friction between faces.

However, since the oil supplied to the friction portion of the conventional multi-plate clutch 5 is made through the operation of the oil pump or the gearing of the gear teeth, it is difficult to ensure smooth lubrication performance, When the amount of supplied oil is insufficient or the supply of normal oil is not performed, abrasion due to excessive heat is caused on the contact portion between the clutch disc and the clutch plate. If this phenomenon continues, the durability performance of the multi- Resulting in a problem that the four-wheel drive becomes impossible.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-plate clutch in which a stable supply path of oil is formed toward a contact portion between a friction disc and a clutch disc, A wet damping plate having a piston-interlocked lubrication function for effectively reducing wear and heat generation of the pacing occurring between the friction disc and the clutch disc during engagement of the clutch by being able to be dependent on the axial displacement of the piston for engagement. The object of the present invention is to provide a clutch.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a friction disk including a plurality of friction disks spline-coupled to an input shaft, a piston movably mounted on the input shaft in an axial direction to press the friction disk, A plurality of clutch discs alternately installed between the friction discs, a clutch drum supported on the clutch disc by spline engagement and coupled to the output shaft, A lubricating tank portion having a first through hole radially opened toward a contact portion between the friction disc and the clutch disc and a closed end portion on one side, And a second through hole communicating selectively with the first through hole, An internally lubricated with guide portions, and the lubrication of the cylinder-shaped guide unit is characterized in that it comprises a return spring disposed between the piston and the lubricant tank portion closed end.

In the present invention, the lubricating tank portion is radially spaced from the shaft center of the clutch hub, and the lubricating guide portion is formed to individually receive the lubricating tank portion therein.

In the present invention, the lubricating guide portion may include a shaft coupling portion movably coupled to the input shaft, a plurality of cylindrical members individually accommodating the lubricating tank portion at a radially spaced position with respect to the axial center of the shaft coupling portion, And a pressure receiving portion that is in contact with the piston on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft coupling portion, and the second through hole is formed to be able to communicate with the first through hole according to axial displacement of the piston through the cylindrical member .

A wet multi-disc clutch having a piston-related lubrication function according to the present invention is provided with a path through which oil can be stably supplied toward a contact portion of a face located between a friction disc and a clutch disc, The supply can be effected in conjunction with the axial displacement of the piston for engagement of the multi-plate clutch, thereby effectively reducing the wear and heat generation of the pacing occurring between the friction disk and the clutch disk during fastening of the clutch .

That is, since the piston wears the clutch disc when the wet multi-plate clutch is fastened, the wear and heat generation due to the friction accompanied by the axial displacement of the piston can be effectively suppressed through the supply of oil, Sufficient lubricating and cooling effects can be expected even with a small amount of oil.

Particularly, when the present invention is applied to a transfer case for selectively switching the power transmission path from the two-wheel drive mode to the four-wheel drive mode, the supply of oil can be selectively performed only at the contact point of time between the friction disk and the clutch disk With minimal oil, wear of the pacing due to friction can be prevented and the frictional heat can be effectively cooled.
