Definitions
- the invention relates to a clutch, in particular for use in a drive train of a motor vehicle.
- the invention relates to a coupling with a device for compensating for thermal differences.
- a normally shiftable clutch is used to transmit a drive torque of a drive motor to a transmission.
- the coupling can be realized in a variety of different ways.
- a force transmission is practically always carried out by a device provided for this purpose, which tends to heat up, in particular during the production and release of force flow.
- the transmission of force can be realized in particular on the basis of mechanical friction or hydrodynamic flow.
- An operating state of the clutch in which an increased amount of heat accumulates in the region of the transmission device, can be taken relatively short time compared to another operating state, in which only a small amount of heat or no amount of heat is provided. It is therefore difficult to ensure a thermal load capacity of the clutch over all operating conditions.
- Known concepts provide to at least partially surround the coupling of a liquid which is continuously replaced and cooled.
- the associated fluid exchange is generally undersized to cover frequent or prolonged operating conditions of the first type mentioned.
- a clutch according to the invention in particular for use in a drive train of a motor vehicle, comprises a hub, a power transmission device which is rotatable about an axis of rotation and which is adapted to heat a fluid, and a housing for mounting
- the hub has an axial channel for liquid and in a radial region between the power transmission device and the hub, a liquid barrier is provided to a circuit of the liquid from the power transmission radially inwardly to the hub, through the axial channel and back radially outward to enable the power transmission device.
- the liquid which is preferably an oil
- heat can be absorbed by the liquid in the area of the force transmission device and at least partially released again in the circuit through the remaining coupling to other components.
- the components of the clutch can thereby have lower temperature differences, so that the heat capacity of the entire clutch can serve to accommodate the heat provided.
- the circulation can be ensured in various embodiments by a pumping action of friction elements of the power transmission device, Fliehöldrücke, blading or other additional conveying elements and by the density difference below speed of hot and colder oil.
- the power transmission device comprises a friction disk clutch.
- a friction disc clutch in particular for starting the motor vehicle, can be subjected to a high thermal load during frictional engagement, the frictional engagement occurring relatively rarely. Due to the intended distribution of heat from the friction disc clutch to the entire clutch overheating of the friction plates can be avoided.
- the friction disc clutch may include two friction elements, one coupled to the housing and the other coupled to the hub.
- the circulation of the liquid can be favored thereby.
- the rotating housing can be improved from the Liquid to be moistened for heat dissipation and absorbed heat to give off to an environment.
- the hub has a liquid inflow channel and the inflow channel strikes the axial channel such that a jet pump for delivering liquid through the axial channel is formed.
- the flow of recirculating liquid in this way can be greater than the flow of the liquid supplied, without the need for additional components for the circulation of the liquid. Due to the design of the jet pump on or in the hub, the only component to be modified in comparison to a known coupling relate to the hub.
- the axial channel may comprise an inlet end and an outlet end for the liquid, wherein the jet pump is arranged in the region of the outlet end and the hub further comprises a liquid outlet channel in the region of the inlet end.
- the incoming liquid is thereby introduced relatively close to the power transmission device in the coupling, while the liquid flows out at a point from the coupling, where the liquid has already delivered a large part of its heat to the other components of the coupling. Thermal exchange between the coupling and the influent or effluent can thereby be maximized.
- a check valve may be arranged in the axial channel.
- the check valve can prevent unwanted liquid transport when the circulation through the axial channel is low. As a result, it is possible to prevent too little liquid or already heated liquid from hitting the power transmission device in certain operating states of the clutch.
- the channel has an angle of incidence deviating from 90 degrees to the plane of rotation in the region of an entrance end.
- the axial channel is at a distance from the axis of rotation of the hub, it is inclined with respect to a circumferential direction.
- the angle, the axial channel includes with the plane of rotation, adapted to this angle, so that an improved absorption of the liquid can be achieved in the channel.
- This angle can be adapted to a speed to which the clutch is optimized.
- a plurality of axial channels are provided in the hub, wherein the channels are evenly distributed on a circumference about the axis of rotation.
- the circulation of the fluid past the coupling on the power transmission device can thereby be maximized and distributed along the circumference of the power transmission device. This may provide a more even and more efficient distribution of heat in the clutch.
- the power transmission device comprises a spring system for damping torsional vibrations.
- frictions can occur which also introduce heat into the coupling, and the circulating liquid can be used to distribute this accumulating heat in the coupling as well.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view through a coupling
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a jet pump for the clutch of Fig. 1 in a first
- FIG. 3 shows the jet pump of FIG. 2 in a second embodiment
- Fig. 4 is an axial view of a hub for the clutch of Fig. 1;
- FIG. 5 shows an axial view of a hub in a further embodiment for the coupling of FIG. 1.
- the illustrated coupling 100 is representative of any coupling on which the liquid circuit described below can be implemented.
- the clutch 100 is rotatable about an axis of rotation 105 and comprises a housing 110, a hub 115, a power transmission device in the form of a friction disc clutch 120 with friction disks 125 and fins 130, a flange 135 on which a pressure chamber 140 is formed, and a piston 145.
- the housing 110 is at least partially filled by a liquid, in particular an oil.
- an axial passage 165 is formed, in which a check valve 190 may be incorporated to prevent the fluid from flowing back to the left.
- an inflow channel 150 and an outflow channel 155 for the liquid 160 are optionally provided on the hub 115.
- the clutch 100 is set up to transmit a torque, in particular in a drive train of a motor vehicle.
- the torque is transmitted about the rotation axis 105, wherein in the illustrated embodiment, an input side of the coupling 100 is formed by the housing 110 and an output side by the hub 115.
- An opposite power transmission is also possible.
- the force to be transmitted is introduced into the housing 110, on which the fins 130 are mounted rotationally stable.
- One or more fins 130 can be used, which are arranged alternately with a corresponding number of friction disks 125 as a stack.
- a spring system 170 may be arranged for elastic power transmission and simultaneous torsional vibration damping in the drive train.
- the fins 130 together with the friction discs 125 form the switchable friction disc clutch 120 which transmits force between the housing 110 and the flange 135 when the stack of fins 130 and friction discs 125 are compressed in the axial direction.
- the piston 145 compresses the stack of friction plates 125 and fins 130 in response to a hydraulic pressure in the pressure chamber 140 together. If the hydraulic pressure drops, so does the axial force on the stack and the friction disc clutch 120 separates.
- the stack may be compressed by means of a spring in the axial direction, wherein the piston disengages with increasing pressure in the pressure chamber 140 and compresses the spring, so that the friction disc clutch 120 separates.
- the pressure chamber 140 is formed on the flange 135, which connects the friction plates 125 with the hub 115. In the power flow between the friction plates 125 and the hub 115, a spring system 170 may be used. The transmitted force is finally discharged by means of the hub 115 from the clutch 100.
- the liquid 160 also serves to lubricate and cool the elements of the coupling 100.
- the liquid 160 is circulated within the coupling 100.
- the flow of the circulating liquid 160 is greater than the flow flowing through the inflow channel 150 or the flow of liquid 160 flowing out of the outflow channel 155.
- the circulated liquid 160 passes through the friction disc clutch 120 or a corresponding force transmission device of the coupling 100 and absorbs heat released there, in particular frictional heat, on. By centrifugal force, the liquid 160 is pressed radially outwardly against the housing 110.
- the flow of liquid from there radially inward, along an axial boundary of the housing 110 and along the flange 135, may be favored by different means or effects.
- the movement may be effected, for example, by a degree of filling of liquid 160 in the housing 120, wherein liquid pushed outwards displaces liquid deposited there in the direction of the inlet end 175.
- the friction discs 125 and the fins 130 may exert a pumping action on the fluid 160 by their movement.
- the radially inward movement of the liquid 160 may also be aided by flow pressure or a difference in density below hot and cold liquid 160 speed.
- a conveying element such as, for example, a blading or a jet pump for conveying the liquid 160 may also be provided.
- the radially inwardly migrated liquid 160 enters the axial passage 165 in the hub 115 through an entry end 175, passes rightward through the axial passage 165, and exits the axial passage 165 through an exit end 180. From there, the liquid 160 migrates radially outward again, mainly due to centrifugal force, and re-encounters the friction disc clutch 120 so that the fluid circuit is closed. In this case, the liquid 160 wets all possible elements of the coupling 100 during the cycle, so that the heat introduced into the liquid 160 by the friction disk clutch 120 is distributed as evenly as possible over the elements of the coupling 100.
- a short-term, strong heat input for example, when the friction disc clutch 120 slips, such as when starting the motor vehicle, can be distributed in the coupling 100 in this manner, so that the peak thermal load can be absorbed without increasing a constructive thermal endurance of the clutch 100.
- 2 shows a sectional view through a jet pump 200.
- the jet pump 200 serves to promote the circulation of the liquid 160 within the coupling 100 and is particularly adapted for installation in the region of the hub 115.
- the jet pump 200 is configured to use liquid 60 flowing through the inflow channel 150 to convey additional liquid 160 through the axial channel 165 in the hub 115. In this case, the flow flowing through the axial channel 165 is preferably greater than the flow of liquid 160 flowing through the inflow channel 150.
- the jet pump 200 is preferably arranged in the region of the outlet end 180 of the axial channel 165.
- the axial channel 165 extends in the hub 115 first radially inwardly and then radially outward, wherein it passes through a deflection of about 90 degrees.
- the portion of the axial channel 165 in the region of the outlet end 180 is aligned with the inflow channel 150, which meets in the region of the deflection on the axial channel 165.
- the inflow channel 150 has a smaller diameter than the axial channel 160, so that there is a jet pump. Liquid 160 emerging through the inlet channel 150 into the axial channel 165 conveys the liquid 160 already present in the axial channel 165 in the direction of the outlet end 180.
- the embodiment of the jet pump 200 shown in FIG. 2 allows both the entrance end 175 and the exit end 180 to be radially disposed on the hub 115. A manufacturability of the hub 115 can be improved thereby.
- FIG. 3 shows the jet pump 200 from FIG. 2 in a further embodiment.
- the inlet end 175 of the axial channel 165 is located in an axial region of the hub 115 so that a first portion of the channel 165 is parallel to the axis of rotation 105.
- the deflection to a second portion of the channel 165 leading to the exit end 180 includes an angle of about 90-120 degrees. This angle may be varied in further embodiments, in particular in the range of about 70 to about 150 degrees.
- the inflow channel 150 strikes the last section of the axial channel 160 and thus forms the jet pump 200, as described above with reference to FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 shows an axial view of the hub 115 for the coupling 100 from FIG. 1.
- a number of axial channels 165 are introduced into the hub 115 on a circumference about the axis of rotation 105. Entry end 175 and exit ends 180 of the axial channels 165 are optionally connected to each other by means of a circumferential groove 405, which is frontally inserted into the hub 115.
- a circumferential groove 405 Radially between the axial channels 165 and the rotation axis 105, ends of inflow channels 150 or outflow channels 155 are arranged.
- Fig. 5 shows the hub 115 of Fig. 4 in a further embodiment.
- the individual axial channels 165 enclose an angle not equal to 90 degrees with the axial boundary of the hub 1 15 or with the plane of rotation about the axis of rotation 105.
- the axial channels 165 are rotated with respect to the rotation axis 105 and extend obliquely through the hub 115.
- the flow of liquid flowing radially inwardly in FIG. 1 on the housing 110 or the flange 135 strikes the hub 1 15 obliquely, since the housing 110 or the 135 rotate about the axis of rotation 105 and the liquid 160 in a radial outer region has a higher peripheral speed than in a radially inner region.
- an apparent force directed about the axis of rotation 105 acts on the liquid, which is known as Coriolis force.
- the obliquely arranged axial channels 165 extend at least in the region of their inlet ends 175 preferably in the flow direction of the liquid 160. This direction or the angle which the axial channels 165 include with the end face of the hub 15 depend on a geometry of the coupling 100 and in particular a projected speed.
