Abstract
A driven disc assembly is provided wherein a clutch disc has enlarged holes for connection of opposing backing plates. The backing plates have semi-pierced sections that are insertable within mounting holes of the clutch disc. The thickness of the backing plates are enlarged from their normal thickness causing a top surface of the backing plates to axially clear heads of conventional rivets. The thickness of the friction buttons on the backing plates can then be reduced to their minimal effective use thickness.
Description
- The field of the present invention is that of friction or driven disc assemblies. The present invention is particularly applicable in driven disc assemblies in clutches utilized to selectively connect an engine of a motorized vehicle with a transmission of the motorized vehicle, especially vehicles such as large trucks.
- Many large motorized vehicles have a clutch assembly to selectively connect an engine of the vehicle with the vehicle transmission. The workings of such a clutch assembly can be discovered by a review of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/807,971, Franke, entitled Dry Clutch Having Solid Lubricant Friction Stabilization Inserts, filed Sep. 17, 2010 (the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein). Referring to
FIGS. 1 , 7 and 11, a conventional driven disc assembly 9 includes adisc member 11. Thedisc member 11 is torsionally connected with adamper unit 13 which spring dampens torsional vibrations delivered to an input shaft of a transmission. Thedisc member 11 is typically a thin metallic plate having along it's periphery a series of blades orwings 15. Thewings 15 on opposing faces have connected thereto afriction pad 17. Thefriction pad 17 consists of abacking plate 19 with a connected friction material, commonly aceramic friction material 21. Thefriction material 21 is referred to as the button in many applications. Thefriction pads 17 are connected to thefriction disc 11 by a series of flatheadsemi-tubular rivets 23. Referring the addition toFIG. 11 , the flatheadsemi-tubular rivets 23 have a purchasedhead 25 and a peenedhead 27 formed by an assembly operation. - The overall axial width 29 (adjacent its outer diameter) of the driven disc assembly 9 based upon the design of the driven disc assembly 9 and a clutch intermediate plate and/or clutch cover assembly that the driven disc assembly interacts with. The overall axial width (sometimes also referred to as height) of the
buttons 21 is determined by two factors. The first factor is the expected wear life of the button and is determined by adimension 31. The second dimension is adimension 33 that is a width of the friction material on the backing plate required for clearance of the rivet head 27 (or on the other side 25). Accordingly, the amount of friction material of awidth 33 is essentially wasted material that cannot be utilized. Typically, the ceramic material making up the button is a very expensive material that typically far exceeds the cost of thebacking plate 19. The backing plate is typically a metallic material. - One attempt to eliminate or to make more use wasted button material is provided in
FIGS. 6 and 10 . InFIGS. 6 and 10 , a recessed rivet drivendisc assembly 41 is provided. In the drivendisc assembly 41, thebacking plates 43 have adjacent to the rivet holes recesses 45. Because of therecesses 45, a specialty axially shortenedrivet 47 is utilized. The drivendisc assembly 41 inFIGS. 6 and 10 does provide an advantage of shortening the rivet, allowing a greater portion of thebuttons 48 to be utilized. However, since theoverall thickness 29 of the driven disc assembly is determined by other design criteria, the recessed design of drivendisc assembly 41 mandates even thicker buttons 48 (to achieve an overall axial thickness 29) thereby providing a button with more excess material which cannot be utilized (due to clutch design) and thereby increasing driven disc assembly cost. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 through 5 and 9, an alternative design drivendisc assembly 61 has been put forth.Driven disc assembly 61 has an overallaxial width 29. In drivendisc assembly 61, thedisc 11 can be utilized.Driven disc assembly 61 has abacking plate 63 that has an elevatedflat section 67 that is elevated by a series ofdimple mounds 69. Thedimple mounds 69 raise an outer surface of thebacking plate 63 outward so that thebutton 71 can have aneffective thickness 31 thereby eliminating thenon-utilized thickness 33 of the button in the conventional used driven disc assembly 9. Although this design did provide the advantages desired in reduction of friction material utilized, the non-flat contact between thesection 67 of the backing plate with the disc caused thebacking plate 63 to buckle due to the lack of adequate heat transfer from thebacking plate 63 to thedisc 11. - It is desirable to provide a driven disc assembly wherein the thickness of the friction button can be reduced to its effective use to minimize the costs of the driven disc assembly without compromising operational performance.
- To meet the above-noted and other desires, a revelation of the present invention is brought forth. The present invention brings forth a driven disc assembly wherein the clutch disc has enlarged holes for connection of the backing plates. The backing plates have semi-pierced sections that are insertable within the clutch disc holes. The thickness of the backing plates are enlarged from their normal thickness causing a top surface of the backing plates to axially clear the head of a conventional rivet. The thickness of the friction buttons can then be reduced to their minimal effective thickness.

It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the preferred embodiment of the invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

- Referring to
FIGS. 8 and 12 , an inventive low profile button dual face clutch friction plate or disc drivenassembly 107 has an overallaxial width 29. The disc drivenassembly 107 has adisc 111. Thedisc 111 has a series ofmounting holes 114, which are enlarged in comparison to the mounting holes shown formed in the disc drive assembly 9disc 11. However, in other aspects, thedisc 111 is essentially identical to thedisc 11. Abacking plate 116 is provided which typically has a greater thickness 136 (typically a total thickness between 0.080 and 0.110 inches) than the backing plates previously described. Thebacking plate 116 has amounting hole 118.Hole 118 is smaller in diameter then thedisc hole 114 and is aligned therewith. Thehole 118 is surrounded by a stampedsemi-pierced section 120. An axiallyinner section 122 of thesemi-pierced section 118 is inserted within the clutch disc holes 114. There is anaxial gap 124 between inner axiallyextreme portions 127 of the opposing backing plates. A lateral abuttingcontact thickness 126 of the semi-pierced section to therivet 23 is greater than a thickness 31 (typically between 0.040 and 0.075 inches) of thefriction button 128. Due to the increased thickness ofbacking plates 116, thebacking plates 116 provide a majorflat surface section 130 in adjacent contact with thefriction button 128 that is beyond or above theheads rivets 23 utilized in the driven disc assembly 9 shown inFIG. 11 ). Thegap 124 between the extreme axially extreme ends 127 of the backing plates ensure that the rivets hold the twobacking plates 116 in maximum tension after assembly to thedisc 111. - Between the
semi-pierced section 120 of the backing plates and the mountinghole 114 of the disc is aninstallation gap 134. The installation gap is primarily to ensure the proper clearance needed for the assembly operation. Thesemi-pierced section 120 has an abuttinglateral contact interface 131 with a tubular portion 133 of the rivet. The length of the lateral abutting contact of the semi-pierced section with the rivet noted aswidth 126 is greater than thewidth 31 of thebutton 128. Thecontact section 120 along its outer diameter has an abuttinglateral interface 139 of anaxial width 140. Theaxial width 140 in most instances will be at least equal or greater than thewidth 31 of the button minus 0.035 inches (or the width of thebutton 128 is no more than 0.035 inches more than that of the width 140) and in most applications will be between 0.040 to 0.055 inches in total width. Theradial width 138 of the semi-pierced portion in most instances will be greater than theradial width 135 of the tubular wall 133 of the rivet. Due to the abuttinglateral interface 139 of thesemi-pierced portions 120 with thedisc hole 114 and also due to the fact that theradial width 138 of thesemi-pierced portion 120 is greater than the radial width of therivet 135, the sheer strength of the connection of thebacking plate 116 to thedisc 111 is significantly greater than the sheer strength of the connection of the backing plates 119 to thedisc 11 of the driven disc assembly 9 which is the conventional design. - The description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and, thus, variations that do not depart from the gist of the invention are intended to be within the scope of the invention. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.
