- the single-clutch method which is one of the dry clutching methods
- engaging or releasing of the conventional clutch disc and pressure plate is realized by a control unit using an electronically controlled mechanism instead of performing the same operation through a driver using a pedal.
- the single clutch method used here causes to feel the motor-clutch movement during gear shifts and the gear change takes a longer time.
- the dual clutch method is preferred and used more frequently in current applications.
- dual clutch automatic transmission vehicles especially two methods are used to engage each clutch. In one of the said methods, a pressurized hydraulic fluid is directed to the piston that should move the respective lever arm to engage the preferred clutch disc via electronically controlled valves.
- the hydraulic fluid used in this application is continuously to use by means of the drive originated from the vehicle motor as well as the said fluid has to be hold at a certain pressure level continuously.
- the other one of the said methods is the electromechanical control system.

- the object of the present invention is to realize a dual-clutch coupling system that is more cost-effective in practice than the clutches used with two servomotors, especially since one servomotor is used.
- a further object of the present invention is to realize a dual clutch coupling system which can operate by a simpler software instead of a complicated software controlling the both servomotors.
- Another object of the present invention is to realize a dual-clutch coupling system that does not use hydraulic fluid that increases fuel consumption since it does not require a hydraulic drive system and further contributes to fuel economy because it only requires power for the gear shift.

- Activation member (8) performs a rotation movement by being connected to the activator (9) via drive gear (8.2) in order to be able to perform these two functions together. Since the activation member (8) is fixed to body of the gearbox so that it cannot perform an axial movement, when the activator (9) is actuated the activation member (8) performs only a rotational movement.

- the activation member (8) is positioned such as to push the first transfer element (11) by rotation, the first transfer element (11) that was pushed allows the first spring (6) to be tensed with which it is in contact.
- the tensed first spring (6) urges the first clutch (2) to rotate at the same speed as the engine by compressing it between the intermediate disk (16) directly linked to engine and the first clutch pressure plate (4).
- the first clutch (2) that starts rotating at the same speed as the engine, rotates the inner shaft (13) to ensure that also the gears (e.g. 1, 3, 5, 7) to which it is connected rotate at the same speed as the engine.
- the appropriate one of these gears is selected by the control unit, thus the preferred torque convertion is made.
- a similar operation is performed when the activation member (8) is positioned such as to push the second transfer element (12) by rotation, thus the second transfer element that is pushed allows the second spring (7) to be tensed.
- the tensed second spring (7) urges the second clutch (3) to rotate at the same speed as the engine by compressing it between the intermediate disk (16) directly linked to engine and the second clutch pressure plate (5).
- the second clutch (3) that starts rotating at the same speed as the engine, rotates the outer shaft (14) to ensure that also the gears (e.g. 2,4,6, R), to which it is connected, rotate at the same speed as the engine.
- the torque is transmitted to the gearbox via the second clutch (3) by means of the outer shaft (14) and the appropriate one of the gears on the outer shaft (14) is selected by the control unit, thus the preferred torque convertion is realized.
- a feedback signal is sent to the control unit by means of the sensor (10).
- the shift speed varies depending on the turn of the activator (9), gear ratio between the activator (9) and the activation member (8) and the number of designs of the extensions in the activation member (8).
- the next gear engagement is available even before the gear shift if the gear is to be increased or decreased, and the gear shift takes place during the transition period from one clutch (eg the first clutch (2)) to another clutch (eg the second clutch (3)). This period can be reduced or increased by a proportion depending on the number of extensions in the activation member (8) as mentioned above.
