Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of producing a friction lining, intended to equip a friction disc of an automobile clutch, in particular a double clutch.
- a double clutch allows coupling the motor shaft of the vehicle with one or the other of two coaxial input shafts of a gearbox, which can be of the robotic type.
- a dual clutch allows to change gears while maintaining the transmission of a torque engine to the vehicle wheels.
- the two clutches are respectively associated with even and odd gear ratios.
- a first clutch is disengaged while the second clutch is engaged, so that the engine torque is progressively transferred from the first to the second clutch.
- Each clutch comprises a mechanism comprising a diaphragm for cooperating with a pressure plate integral in rotation with the cover and the motor shaft.
- Each diaphragm is movable by means of a corresponding clutch abutment, between a rest position and an active position.
- the active position of the diaphragm corresponds to a coupling or decoupling of the shafts of the engine and the gearbox and the rest position of the diaphragm corresponds to a decoupling or a coupling of these shafts.
- These are respectively a normally open clutch and a normally closed clutch.
- the clutch stop is controlled by an actuator controlled by an electronic computer to exert a predetermined force on the diaphragm and move it over a given distance.
- each clutch urged by the corresponding diaphragm, is intended to clamp a friction disk, equipped with friction linings, on a reaction plate connected to the shaft. engine.
- a reaction plate may be provided for each clutch.
- the friction linings are intended to come into contact with the counter-materials of the pressure plates and the reaction plate or plates.
- Each friction disk is rotatably connected to an input shaft of the gearbox and each reaction plate is rotatably connected to a flywheel connected to the drive shaft.
- a packing is conventionally composed of an annular friction body formed of a fibrous material, a binder and fillers.
- the friction body is fixed on a support formed by a metal ring foil, by pressing or gluing, for example.
- a lining is fixed on each of the radial faces of the friction disk, the counter-materials of the pressure plate and the corresponding reaction plate bearing on the friction bodies of the linings.
- the linings are subjected to high thermal and mechanical stresses. Differential thermal expansions may further appear between the friction body and the foil serving as support. This can cause detachment or bursting of the friction lining, the fragments coming off the friction lining can block one or both clutch mechanisms of the double clutch which can then transmit simultaneously a torque to the two input shafts of the gearbox, causing a blockage of the gearbox and wheels.
- the patent application FR 2 927 966 proposes a friction lining whose annular body comprises a first radial wall attached to a foil and a second radial wall, opposite to the first wall, in which are provided grooves . These are obtained individually by mechanical machining or by laser machining, which is relatively long and expensive.
- the grooves are such that, in case of bursting, the fragments of the friction body have relatively small dimensions and do not risk causing a blockage of one of the clutch mechanisms of the double clutch.
- the grooves provided on the friction bodies also allow, in operation, to generate aeraulic forces promoting the detachment of the friction disk relative to the pressure plate and the reaction plate, in the disengagement phase.
- the geometries of the grooves can be adapted according to the aeraulic forces to be generated.
- These grooves can also be used to more easily remove particles created by the wear of the friction body, or to improve the heat exchange so as to reduce the temperature of the friction body and / or the support.
- the grooves are also generally involved in reducing the deformation of the liners and ensuring their flatness, and thus reduce the risk of premature deterioration and increase the performance of the clutch.
- the invention aims in particular to provide a simple, effective and economical solution to this problem.
- the friction body is fixed on the support and comprises at least one groove opening outwards, that is to say at the level of the second face, and opening on the support, that is to say at the level of the first face.
- the lining therefore has no friction material at the bottom of the groove, which makes it possible to limit its deformations and to improve its flatness during operation.
- the friction body is in the form of an annular friction body fixed on a ring-shaped support.
- the friction body is made by molding under pressure in a mold comprising a fixed part comprising a first impression and a movable piston comprising a second imprint, at least one of said indentations having a projecting portion adapted to form the groove during molding.
- the temperature inside the mold during the molding under pressure can be between 150 ° C and 250 ° C, preferably between 180 and 200 ° C.
- the pressure inside the mold can be increased gradually over time, this pressure being up to a maximum of between 200 and 300 bars.
- the friction body may comprise at least one fibrous material, at least one binder and at least one filler.

- the friction body must, after the die casting, have sufficient strength to be fixed on the support.
- the degree of polymerization at the end of this molding operation can be between 50 and 90%, and is preferably of the order of 70%.
- the support can be affixed to the first face of the friction body and then hot pressed against said friction body, until complete polymerization of said binder and adhesion of the friction body to the support.
- the temperature during this step may be between 150 ° C and 250 ° C, and preferably between 180 and 200 ° C.
- the pressure applied to the support may be between 200 and 300 bar.
- the friction body is fixed to the support by gluing.
- the friction body can be glued to the support with a phenolic resin glue.
- the face of the support on which the friction body is intended to be fixed is prepared by shot blasting or chemical etching, and / or is coated with a primer. hooking.
- the second face of the friction body is machined by grinding, until said groove opens at the second face of the friction body.
- each groove is machined individually by mechanical machining or by laser machining.
- any particles present in the groove can be extracted, for example by suction.
- the invention also relates to a clutch friction lining comprising a friction body intended to be mounted on a support, said friction body comprising at least one groove devoid of material at the bottom of the groove and devoid of machining traces in the bottom and groove walls.
- the groove can be obtained by the manufacturing method described above.
