摘要： A vehicle having a clutch which connects an engine with a driveline which includes a multi-ratio gearbox, the clutch having an actuator which can be operated by a vehicle driver to engage and disengage the clutch, the actuator also having a control system arranged to move the clutch between fully engaged and fully released positions through a range of positions allowing variable levels of clutch slip in order to automatically reduce torsional vibrations in the driveline. The control system is configured to recognize a plurality of predetermined Vehicle Operation Modes defined by the combination of a Clutch Slip Status criterion as hereinbefore defined with one or more of the hereinbefore defined operating criteria of Manual Clutch Position Control Input Interface Status, Release Bearing Position Status and Slip Velocity Demand Status and, dependent on the recognized Vehicle Operation Mode, the control system applies a different clutch control strategy to achieve the required level of clutch slip to damp vibration in the driveline and provide transition between the different Vehicle Operation Modes without exciting an uncomfortable level of vibration in the driveline.

摘要： A vehicle driveline clutch assembly (10) having a flywheel (11), a clutch housing (12) secured to the flywheel for rotation therewith and forming an annular clutch volume (14) with the flywheel. An annular output member (15) is located adjacent the flywheel with its radially outer portion within the clutch volume and interleaved annular clutch plates (16, 17) are located within the clutch volume between the output member and housing and are alternately splined for rotation with the housing or output member, spring means (18) act between the flywheel and the output member via a thrust bearing (19) to bias the output member away from the flywheel to bring the clutch plates into engagement to engage drive through the clutch assembly and clutch release means (20) act on the output member (15) to move the output member towards the flywheel (11) against the spring means (18) to release the clutch when required.
