Abstract:
In a transfer (22), a high thrust can be given to a front-wheel driving clutch (50) by a high magnification function of a screw mechanism (86). Further, a necessary stroke for an operation of a high-low switching mechanism (48) can be obtained by the screw mechanism (86). Accordingly, with the use of one motor (84), the screw mechanism (86), and a transmission mechanism (88), it is possible to perform a switching operation of the high-low switching mechanism (48) and a torque adjustment of the front-wheel driving clutch (50) by the same system. Hereby, it is possible to perform, with accuracy, the switching operation of the high-low switching mechanism (48) and the torque adjustment of the front-wheel driving clutch (50), based on a motor rotation angle Am of one motor (84).
Abstract:
A case 25 of an engine unit 20 has a clutch housing part 25A housing a clutch 30. The clutch housing part 25A has an upper portion 25a located higher than a part housing a transmission 40. A clutch actuator 60 is provided leftward apart from the upper portion 25a and provided so that a part thereof may overlap with the upper portion 25a in a side view of a vehicle body. The clutch actuator 60 is connected to the clutch 30 via a link mechanism Li. Accordingly, the degree of freedom of the layout of the clutch actuator may be increased, and the engine unit and the clutch actuator may be compactly laid out. Thereby, a straddle-type vehicle that may suppress upsizing of the vehicle body is provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a belt pulley arrangement for a starter drive for starting an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, which has a belt pulley, a friction clutch, which is arranged radially within the belt pulley and by means of which the belt pulley can be brought into operative connection with a crankshaft of the starter drive, wherein the friction clutch has an open position, in which the belt pulley is separated from the crankshaft, and a closed position, in which the belt pulley is in operative connection with the crankshaft, and actuation means for axial actuation of the friction clutch between the open position and the closed position, wherein the friction clutch can be actuated using the actuation means by means of a starter generator acting upon the belt pulley. In this way, reliable operation of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle can be made possible in a simple and inexpensive manner.
Abstract:
A driving force transmission apparatus includes: an electric motor; a multi-disc clutch including outer clutch plates and inner clutch plates that are disposed coaxially with each other so as to be rotatable relative to each other and that are frictionally engaged with each other by being pressed in an axial direction; an input rotary member that rotates together with the outer clutch plates; an output rotary member that rotates together with the inner clutch plates; a cam mechanism that generates cam thrust force for pressing the multi-disc clutch in the axial direction upon reception of torque generated by the electric motor; a strain sensor that detects reaction force against the cam thrust force; and a spring member that is disposed between the cam mechanism and the strain sensor and that buffers an impact transmitted from the cam mechanism to the strain sensor.
Abstract:
The present subject matter discloses an electrically operated clutch actuator for an automatic transmission system for automatic disengagement and controlled re-engagement of a multi plate clutch assembly in a four stroke single cylinder internal combustion engine. It comprises of a clutch actuation motor mounted to an external surface of a clutch cover and sealed against ingress of oil, a reduction gear box connected to the said actuation motor for reducing the power received from the said clutch actuation motor, a power transmission mechanism for converting rotational driving force of the said clutch actuation motor into linear contact displacement force and a clutch actuation sensor for detecting the actuation of the clutch. The invention increases the operator comfort and provides better rideability of the vehicle.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a disconnector-type clutch for a rear wheel-driving device in a 4-wheel driving electric vehicle, which can eliminate a loss in the driving force due to a slip of friction plates disposed in a multiple disc clutch by transmitting power to rear wheels using the disconnector-type clutch, instead of the multiple disc clutch in 4-wheel driving, and can prevent a loss in the energy by preventing a differential from unnecessarily rotating when rear wheels are drawn by a driving force of front wheels in 2-wheel driving in which a rear-wheel driving motor is not driven by installing the disconnector-type clutch at a rear end of the differential. The disconnector-type clutch includes an actuator motor generating rotation power, a worm gear connected to the actuator motor, a screw rotating in engagement with the worm gear, a first push case converting a rotary motion of the screw into a linear reciprocating motion, a second push case assembled with the first push case, a first spring installed between the first push case and the second push case, a second spring installed at an exterior side of the second push case to provide a restoration force, a shifting fork connected to the second push case and moving forward and backward, and a sleeve connected to the shifting fork and connecting or disconnecting the first rear-wheel driving shaft and the second rear-wheel driving shaft.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an input damper for coupling to a torque-generating mechanism. The damper includes an outer cover, a hub, and a carrier assembly coupled to the hub. The carrier assembly is movably disposed within the cover. A clutch assembly moves between an engaged position and a disengaged position and is biased towards the engaged position. The input damper further includes an angular displacement mechanism operably coupled to the clutch assembly for moving the clutch assembly between the engaged position and disengaged position. The outer cover is coupled to the carrier assembly in the engaged position.
