Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a drive train having a clutch assembly for transmitting torque between an engine and a transmission.
  • the present invention is directed, in particular, to such clutch assemblies which include at least one friction clutch for connecting and disconnecting the engine and the transmission to and from one another in terms of drive operation.
  • Clutch assemblies having two friction clutches are known, for example, from the German Application DE 28 30 659 A1, hereby incorporated by reference herein.
  • Such clutch assemblies have a very complex and expensive design, which also necessitates a very complex actuating system.
  • these types of clutch assemblies are built to be very long axially, so that the dimensional design of the crankshafts, which accommodate these assemblies, must be calculated accordingly.
  • the axial vibrations and wobble produced by the crankshaft are transmitted to the transmission and to the actuating mechanism, so that manifestations of wear and loss of comfort occur.
  • An object of the present invention is to devise a drive train of the type mentioned at the outset in a way that will improve its operation and simplify its design, and ensure a cost-effective manufacturing.
  • the operation of the drive train according to the present invention should be especially simple, thereby enabling the use of an economically priced actuating system. It is also additionally or alternatively intended, by the special form and mode of operation of a clutch assembly designed in accordance with the present invention, to improve or optimize its installation between the engine and transmission, and/or to isolate the axial vibrations and wobble originating in the engine.
  • the present invention provides that the clutch assembly of the drive train is not only accommodated at the crankshaft itself, but also at the transmission housing in a way that permits rotational twisting.
  • the present invention may be utilized for a drive train having a twin clutch.
  • the twin clutch may have two clutch disks, which are each connectible to a transmission input shaft.
  • the transmission may advantageously form a so-called powershift transmission.
  • one of the clutches may also be used for a power take-off, via which auxiliary units may be driven, for example.
  • the clutch unit may be engageable and disengageable via an actuating mechanism integrated in the clutch unit.
  • the actuating mechanism may be positioned or supported in the clutch unit in such a way that the clutch-actuating or clutch-engaging forces are absorbed within the clutch unit; thus, this means that the components forming the clutch unit support the actuating mechanism in such a way that the power flow generated by these forces within these components forms a closed circuit.
  • the actuating mechanism may be supported quite advantageously via a bearing on a cover of the clutch unit.
  • This bearing or bearing assembly enables the actuating mechanism to be positioned both axially, as well as radially within the clutch unit.
  • at least one component of the actuating mechanism may also be used for the transmission-side, centered preassembly of the clutch unit.
  • This component may advantageously be constituted of a non-rotatable component of the actuating mechanism.
  • At least one clutch disk of the clutch unit may be centrically held in a precentered position within the friction clutch in question, so that when preassembling the partial module in question on the transmission side, at least one centering support may be ensured via the hub of the clutch disk that is slideable onto a transmission input shaft.
  • the clutch assembly may form a so-called dual-mass system, the two masses being coupled in a torsionally flexible manner via the torsional-vibration damper.
  • the components of the torsional vibration damper that are connectible to the engine's output shaft may form at least one part of a primary mass.
  • both clutches may be engageable by force, i.e., when the clamping load required for transmitting torque is applied to the individual friction clutches via the actuating system.
  • at least one or even both friction clutches may be designed to include an energy-storage mechanism—such as a diaphragm spring—which applies the clamping load required for transmitting torque, at least partially, preferably completely. If the energy-storage mechanism applies only one portion of the required clamping load, the additional portion of the clamping load necessary for a slip-free torque transmission must be applied via the actuating system of the corresponding clutch.
  • the clutches may be designed as pulled or pressed clutches.
  • a combination of two different clutch types is also possible.
  • a pulled and a pressed clutch may be used.
  • the actuating systems acting on the release device such as the diaphragm-spring fingers, may be designed to be able to exert a force on these release device in the engagement direction, as well as in the disengagement direction of the corresponding friction clutch.
  • connection provided between the non-rotating component of the actuating mechanism and the transmission housing may advantageously be a first disk part, which may have an axially flexible design to compensate for axial vibrations and/or wobble. Together with a second, axially flexible disk part, which accommodates the clutch assembly on the engine side, this first disk part may form a damping unit, the rigidity of both disk parts being adapted to one another. It turns out that it may be particularly advantageous for the axial rigidity of the second disk part to be greater than that of the first disk part.
  • the first disk part to be designed to allow the clutch assembly to be altogether substantially neutrally supported in such a way that, at locations where the transmission housing wall has axial elevations, for example at the bearing eyes of the transmission input shaft and of the transmission output shaft, the first disk part may have cut-outs, enabling it to be penetrated by the axial elevations.
  • the first disk part may be fastened in its circumferential area, to provide an optimal radius for an axial flexibility between the points of connection of the clutch assembly and of the transmission housing.
  • the fastening operation may be carried out radially externally on the transmission housing, in areas where a fastening is easily accessible from the outside.
  • the actuating device for example the first disk part, may have positioning means for fixing the torsional position between the disk part and the transmission housing before and/or during assembly of the engine housing and transmission housing.
  • the actuating mechanism may be a mechanically or electrically, externally actuated lever mechanism or ramp mechanism, which, via tensile or rotary motion, executes a reciprocating motion directed axially along the transmission input shaft to actuate one or more clutches.
  • Patent Applications DE 103 13 739 related to GB Patent Application Nos. 2387209 and 2392967, WO00/15971 and DE 44 31 641, related to U.S. Pat. No. 5,588,517, are mentioned, for example, all six of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
  • the actuating mechanism may be a slave cylinder, which is mounted concentrically around the transmission input shaft and includes one or more annular cylinders disposed radially over one another, for example.
  • piston/cylinder units may be provided, which are distributed around the circumference of the transmission input shaft and which, in the case of two clutches, may be positioned on the same or different radius.
  • actuating mechanism may be an electrically actuated release mechanism, which is disposed concentrically around the transmission input shaft and is accommodated in the clutch bell housing, preferably concentrically around the transmission input shaft.
  • electrically actuated release mechanism which is disposed concentrically around the transmission input shaft and is accommodated in the clutch bell housing, preferably concentrically around the transmission input shaft.
