在此,需要说明的是,在本文范围内,除非另有说明,否则术语“轴向”、“径向”和“圆周方向”均参考第一盘件50和第二盘件130的共同的旋转轴线、也即参考离合装置的旋转轴线。具体地,“轴向”为上述旋转轴线的方向或平行于上述旋转轴线的方向。“径向”为垂直于上述旋转轴线并且与上述旋转轴线相交的方向。“圆周方向”为围绕上述旋转轴线的方向。
此外,在本文范围内,术语“抗旋转连接”是指:使得两个部件之间不能够相对彼此旋转、从而能够传递扭矩的连接。例如,当两个部件彼此抗旋转地连接或者一个部件抗旋转地安装于另一个部件时,两个部件能够传递扭矩且能够一起旋转。例如,花键连接可以实现抗旋转连接。又例如,固定连接也可以实现抗旋转连接。在此,不限定抗旋转连接的两个部件是否能够相对彼此轴向运动。
接合机构包括多个棘齿和至少两个棘爪80,其中,多个棘齿沿圆周方向分布在第一盘件50的外周处,至少两个棘爪80分别以能相对第二盘件130转动的方式安装于第二盘件130并且分别能够与棘齿接合或脱离于棘齿。
优选地,棘齿与第一盘件50一体式构造,第一盘件50构造为棘轮。优选地,各个棘齿在圆周方向上均匀地分布在第一盘件50的外周处。
图4示出了根据本实施例的棘爪80的立体图。棘爪80包括转动部81和远离转动部81设置的接合部83、84。优选地,如此将棘爪80安装于第二盘件130,使得各个棘爪80能够分别相对第二盘件130围绕转动部81枢转,在此棘爪80、尤其接合部83、84相对第二盘件130围绕各自固定的轴线摆动。在此,优选地,各个棘爪80枢转的轴线分别平行于离合装置的旋转轴线。备选地,如此将棘爪80安装于第二盘件130,使得各个棘爪80能够分别相对第二盘件130围绕各自非固定的轴线转动。在棘爪80转动到接合位置时,棘爪80的接合部83、84能够与第一盘件50处的棘齿接合,从而第一盘件50和第二盘件130能够共同旋转,也即连通扭矩传递路径。在棘爪80转动到断开位置时,棘爪80的接合部83、84与第一盘件50处的棘齿脱耦,由此断开扭矩传递路径。在此,棘爪的数量取决于传递的扭矩。优选地,至少两个棘爪80在圆周方向上均匀分布在第二盘件130处。
在本实施例中,离合装置还包括毂罩120。毂罩120例如通过过盈配合固定连接于第二盘件130。优选地,第二盘件130和/或毂罩120由冲压工艺制成。在此,有利地,第二盘件130和毂罩120彼此固定连接的连接区段设置在第一盘件50的径向外侧。优选地,毂罩120构造有相对于第一盘件50位于背向第二盘件130的轴向侧的区段。由此,毂罩120以及第二盘件能够保护接合机构、如第一盘件50的棘齿区域以及棘爪80并且有利于后面将详细阐述的零部件的紧凑布置。
棘爪80在接合位置和断开位置之间的旋转运动在一个转动方向上通过操纵机构实现并且在另一方向上通过未详细示出的复位弹簧实现。在此,复位弹簧沿其弹性作用方向张紧在棘爪80和第二盘件130之间。
在此,操纵机构包括致动销110、销弹簧100、膜片弹簧90和执行器。
图5示出了根据本实施例的致动销110的立体图。致动销110具体基本呈圆柱体的主体111。致动销110能够相对于第二盘件130沿轴向移动。为此,优选地,致动销110在轴向上能够至少部分地伸入或伸出于由第二盘件130形成的容纳腔中。如图5所示,致动销110在朝向第二盘件130的纵向端部处构造有致动部112。再如图4所示,棘爪80在远离转动部
81的位置处还构造有致动配对部82。棘爪80的致动配对部82和致动销110的致动部112构造为能够配合作用的作用面,使得在致动销110沿着致动销110的纵向、在本实施例中也即离合装置的轴向移动时能够促使棘爪80转动,参见由图6示出的棘爪80和致动销110配合作用的示意图。有利地,棘爪80的致动配对部82和致动销110的致动部112构造为配对的斜面。有利地,致动销110的致动部112由倒角实现。
致动销110沿其纵向的移动在一个方向上由销弹簧100实现。如图1所示,销弹簧100构造为波形弹簧,并且销弹簧100环绕致动销110。销弹簧100沿弹性作用方向张紧在构造在致动销110处的止挡部113和毂罩120之间。
致动销110沿其纵向的移动在另一个方向上由执行器实现。在本实施例中,在执行器和各个致动销110之间的扭矩传递路径上还设置有膜片弹簧90。在本实施例中,参考图1,膜片弹簧90呈环形盘状并且包括圆环形的边缘区段多个沿圆周方向分布的指部,其中,指部从边缘区段曲折地朝向径向内侧延伸。膜片弹簧90在此通过定心螺栓70可沿轴向相对运动及变形地安装于毂罩120的相对于第一盘件50位于背向第二盘件130的轴向侧的区段。膜片弹簧90在此用作杠杆弹簧,其类似杠杆地作用在执行器和致动销110之间。膜片弹簧90以其支撑部经由支撑环60支承在毂罩120的上述区段处,该支承点形成杠杆支点。膜片弹簧90以位于支撑部的径向外侧的外端部、在此即环形的边缘区段抵靠致动销110;膜片弹簧90以位于支撑部的径向内侧的内端部、在此即指部的自由端抵靠执行器的执行构件30。
在本实施例中,执行器构造为液压式执行器。特别有利地,执行器包括由执行器壳体10形成的液压腔和能够借助液压至少部分地伸入或伸出液压腔的活塞30。执行器包括动态密封件20以防止液压液泄漏。优选地,执行器壳体10和活塞30由塑料制成。在此,活塞30通过轴向轴承40抵靠在膜片弹簧90的指部处。
在本实施例中,在执行器的径向内部设置有径向轴承,第一轴件140能够借助径向轴承能相对转动地支承于壳体160。由此可以实现离合装置
的紧凑结构。
图1和图2分别示出本实施例的离合装置在接合状态和断开状态下的轴向半剖视图。图3示出本实施例的离合装置在的接合机构处的径向剖视图。根据本实施例的离合装置采用常接合的方案。在车辆行驶时,离合装置通常为接合状态,只有在操纵执行器时才断开。
参考图1和图3,在离合装置接合时,执行器不工作,此时活塞30至少部分地伸入在液压腔中并且不会向膜片弹簧90的指部施加作用力或者仅以很小的力压靠膜片弹簧90的指部。由于指部不受力或者仅受到很小的力,导致以杠杆弹簧作用的膜片弹簧90在圆环形的边缘区段抵靠各个致动销110,使得各个致动销110沿轴向克服销弹簧100的弹性力朝向第二盘件130移动或者保持在靠近第二盘件的位置处。各个致动销110通过致动部112将轴向力施加到对应的棘爪80的致动配对部82处,从而促使棘爪80克服复位弹簧的弹性力转动到或者保持在接合位置。在接合位置处,各个棘爪80的接合部83、84与第一盘件50的棘齿接合。
参考图2,在离合装置需要断开时,执行器开始工作。此时活塞30在液压的作用下至少部分地伸出液压腔并且向膜片弹簧90的指部施加作用力。由于指部受力,导致以杠杆弹簧作用的膜片弹簧90在圆环形的边缘区段在轴向上沿远离第二盘件的方向移动和/变形。此时膜片弹簧90向各个致动销110施加的轴向力减少或完全消失,使得各个致动销110沿轴向在销弹簧100的弹性作用力下远离第二盘件130地移动。各个致动销110施加到对应的棘爪80的作用力减小或消失,此时复位弹簧促使棘爪80转动到断开位置。在断开位置处,各个棘爪80的接合部83、84脱离于第一盘件50的棘齿。
根据本实施的一种设计,每个棘爪80均构造有第一接合部83和第二接合部84,每个棘齿均构造有第一接合配对部51和的第二接合配对部52,其中,第一接合部83和第二接合部84用于在两个相反的旋转方向上分别与第一接合配对部51和第二接合配对部52接合。
图7示出根据本实施例的离合装置的接合机构在接合状态并且在第一旋转方向上传递扭矩的示意图。如图7所示,第一盘件50的棘齿的第一
接合配对部51抵靠棘爪80的第一接合部83,由此在第一旋转方向上将第一盘件50的旋转运动传递到第二盘件130,也即传递扭矩。
图8示出根据本实施例的离合装置的接合机构在接合状态并且在第二旋转方向上传递扭矩的示意图。如图8所示,第二盘件50的棘齿的第二接合配对部52抵靠棘爪80的第二接合部84,由此在与第一旋转方向相反的第二旋转方向上将第一盘件50的旋转运动传递到第二盘件130,也即传递扭矩。
图9示出根据本实施例的离合装置的接合机构在接合或分离过程中的示意图。图10示出根据本实施例的离合装置的接合机构在分离状态下的示意图。如图10所示,此时各个棘爪80的接合部83、84脱离于第一盘件50的棘齿。
根据本实施例提供的离合装置具有紧凑的结构和较轻的重量,能够布置在车辆狭小的容纳空间并且符合当前轻量化设计的要求。此外,本实施例的离合装置能够实现双向的扭矩传递并且支持转速差较大情况下的接合应用。同时,本实施例的离合装置能够以低成本的方式制造。
显然,本申请的上述实施例仅仅是为了清楚说明本申请所作的举例,而并非是对本申请的实施方式的限定。对于所属领域的普通技术人员来说,在上述说明的基础上还可以做出其它不同形式的变化或变动。这里无需也无法对所有的实施方式予以穷举。凡在本申请的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等,均应包含在本申请权利要求的保护范围之内。在本申请的描述中,需要说明的是,术语“第一”、“第二”、仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。
