Definitions
- Diaphragm clutch including a diaphragm joint
- the present invention relates to a diaphragm clutch comprising a diaphragm hinge.
- Such a clutch used in particular in the automotive field, typically comprises a cover, a pressure plate, a diaphragm mounted, possibly prestressed, between the cover and the pressure plate, and means of articulation of this diaphragm relative to the cover .
- Document DE 1 775 116 discloses a diaphragm clutch comprising a cover, a pressure plate, a diaphragm mounted between the cover and the pressure plate, means for articulating the diaphragm with respect to the cover, and an elastic annular member. prestressed, mounted opposite the hinge means relative to the diaphragm so as to maintain the diaphragm pressed against the hinge means.
- the resilient annular member is mounted to bear on the spacer head integral with the lid and which pass through openings made in the diaphragm.
- this clutch can compensate for some of the wear of the diaphragm, it does not have a satisfactory rigidity to allow to exert on the articulation efforts that can reach 12 000 N.
- Document FR 2 692 637 discloses a diaphragm clutch comprising a cover, a pressure plate, a diaphragm mounted between the cover and the pressure plate, a first rigid annular member disposed between the diaphragm and the pressure plate. and attached to the cover by means of spacers, means for articulating the diaphragm with respect to the cover and a second prestressed resilient annular member, mounted in abutment on the first rigid annular member, opposite the articulation means with respect to the diaphragm, the rigid and elastic annular members being arranged coaxially, the spacers being implanted with respect to the rigid annular member substantially in a circle of implantation.
- This clutch does not have a satisfactory rigidity.
- An object of the invention is therefore to provide a diaphragm clutch for compensating for the wear of the diaphragm hinge so as to allow a complete disengagement of the clutch despite wear of the diaphragm joint by relative to the lid while having improved rigidity compared to clutches known from the state of the art.
- This object of the invention is achieved by means of a diaphragm clutch, comprising a cover, a pressure plate, a diaphragm mounted between the cover and the pressure plate, a first rigid annular member disposed between the diaphragm and the plate.
- the clutch according to the invention is remarkable in that the bearing zone of the second elastic annular member on the first rigid annular member extends substantially along the circle of implantation of the spacers.
- the wear of the hinge means which usually results in a decrease in dimension, which gives rise to a game between the means of articulation and the diaphragm is compensated by the presence of a resilient annular member mounted prestressed. Indeed, because of its prestressed mounting, the resilient annular member is deformed elastically so as to maintain the diaphragm pressed against the joint means. Thus, there is no clearance between the diaphragm and the hinge means and the prestress is preset and controlled.
- the mounting of the second elastic annular member on support means formed by a first rigid annular member coaxially mounted to the resilient annular member provides a greater contact area between the resilient and rigid annular members, relative to to the clutch described in DE 1 775 1 16, and, thus, to distribute the forces between the elastic and rigid annular members over a larger area also.
- such an assembly makes it possible to obtain a better rigidity of the device so that the clutch according to the invention is adapted to very large forces - typically of the order of magnitude mentioned above - exerted by the diaphragm on the articulation. .
- the bearing zone of the second elastic annular member on the first rigid annular member extending along the spacers implementation circle makes the clutch more rigid and less subject to wear with respect to the clutch described in the document FR 2 692 637.
- This measure makes it possible to reduce very significantly or completely eliminate the bending forces that appear in the clutch described in the document FR 2 692 637, because the area the contact of the second elastic annular member on the first rigid annular member is located, according to FR 2 692 637, radially outside the mounting circle of the spacers.
- the clutch according to the invention has one or more of the following characteristics taken alone or in combination:
- the second elastic annular member comprises a first Belleville washer portion in contact with the diaphragm; the first Belleville washer part of the second elastic annular member is bent at the zone of contact with the diaphragm;
- the first Belleville washer portion of the second resilient annular member has, at the region of contact with the diaphragm, a radius of curvature, in any axial plane of the clutch, at least equal to 5 mm;
- the second elastic annular member comprises a second portion forming a Belleville washer in contact with the first rigid annular member or with the lid;
- the second Belleville washer part of the second elastic annular member has, at the region of contact with the first rigid annular member or with the lid, a radius of curvature, in any axial plane of the clutch, at least equal to 5 mm;
- the first rigid annular member is integral with spacers fixed to the cover and passing through the diaphragm;
- the second elastic annular member has passage recesses for the spacers; -
- the second resilient annular member is shaped so that in the storage phase of the clutch, the radially outer edge of the second elastic annular member bears on the first rigid annular member;
- Figure 1 shows in perspective a detail of a push diaphragm clutch according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows in axial section a new diaphragm push clutch as shown in Figure 1
- Fig. 3 shows in section the extended diaphragm clutch of Fig. 2 after a large number of uses
- Figures 4 and 5 show two axial sections of a push diaphragm clutch according to the invention, respectively in the mounted state and in the storage state.
- FIG. 1 shows a thrust diaphragm clutch 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the clutch 10 according to the invention comprises a cover 12 connected by appropriate fastening means to an inertia flywheel (not shown) which is itself mounted on the output shaft of a engine for example of the internal combustion type (not shown).
- a diaphragm 14 Between the cover 12 and the flywheel are arranged, in this order: a diaphragm 14, a pressure plate 16 (see Figures 2 and 3) and a friction (not shown).
- a device 18 for compensating the wear of the pressure plate is disposed between the diaphragm 14 and the pressure plate 16.
- the diaphragm 14 is mounted between the cover 12 and the pressure plate
- This diaphragm 14 comprises on the one hand a peripheral portion 20 and on the other hand fingers 21 which extend radially inwardly of the diaphragm 14 from the peripheral portion 20.
- the diaphragm 14 is mounted so as to be pivotable relative to the cover 12 around hinge means 22, made here in the form of a rod mounted between the cover 12 and the diaphragm 14.
- the clutch 10 shown in Figure 1 also comprises a support means 26 fixed relative to the cover 12 and disposed between the diaphragm 14 and the pressure plate 16.
- the fixed support means is made in this case in the form of a first rigid annular member 26.
- a second elastic annular member 24 is mounted prestressed.
- This second elastic annular member is ideally made, as shown in the figures, in the form of an elastic washer 24, preferably chromium-vanadium steel (for example 50CV4).
- the first rigid annular member 26 is disposed coaxially with the second elastic annular member 24 and is integral with spacers 28 fixed to the cover 12 and passing through the diaphragm 14.
- this first member rigid ring is formed in the form of a rigid washer 26 which has at least one recess 30 formed at its radially inner periphery 32, this recess 30 being of substantially complementary section to a projection 34 made at the radially inner perimeter 36 the elastic washer 24.
- This projection 34 and this recess 30 allow a facilitated implementation of the spring washer 24 relative to the rigid washer 26 during the mounting phase.
- the spacers 28 are implanted with respect to the rigid washer 26 according to an implantation circle c (shown partially in FIG. 1, in broken lines) which thus extends substantially in the plane of this rigid washer 26.
- the zone of support of the spring washer 24 on the rigid washer 26 extends substantially according to the implantation circle c of the spacers 28 with respect to the rigid washer 26.
- the spring washer 24 has a first portion 38 forming a Belleville washer in contact with the diaphragm 14, which is ideally bent at the zone 40 of contact with the diaphragm 14.
- This first portion 38 forming a Belleville washer, annular, and the elastic washer 24 are coaxial.
- the radius of curvature of the first portion 38 of the spring washer 24 is ideally large so as to increase the area 40 of contact of the spring washer 24 with the diaphragm 14 to avoid significant wear and fast of the elastic washer 24.
- this radius of curvature is at least equal to 5 mm.
- the spring washer 24 has a second part Belleville washer 42 which is in contact with the support means 26.
- This second portion 42 forming Belleville ring, annular and the spring washer 24 are coaxial.
- this second portion 42 of the spring washer 24 is bent at the contact zone 44 with the rigid washer 26, the radius of curvature of this second portion 42 of the spring washer 24 being large - preferably at least equal to 5 mm - so that the contact zone 44 of the spring washer 24 with the rigid washer 26 is relatively wide and thus avoid a large and rapid wear of the spring washer 24.
- the spring washer 24 further has connecting arms 45 which connect the first and second portions 38, 42 of the spring washer 24 which form Belleville washer.
- passage recesses 46 for the spacers 28 are formed which, ideally, are arranged between the first and second portions 38, 42 of the spring washer 24 Belleville washer. These recesses 46 thus allow compact assembly of the clutch 10 according to the invention. The recesses 46 further allow centering of the spring washer 24 in areas of low stress.
- the recesses 46 are oblong and have a functional clearance with respect to the spacers 28 so that a spacer 28 can not bear on the inner edge of the recesses 46.
- these recesses 46 are larger for do not generate a concentration of constraints on the diaphragm.
- the elastic washer 24 can, as shown in the accompanying figures, be extended on either side of the first and second parts 38, 42 Belleville washer so as to make the spring washer 24 more rigid and more solid.
- the spring washer 24 has a load curve of the Belleville washer type.
- this clutch 10 in particular during the disengaging and clutching phases, is similar to the operation of a conventional thrust diaphragm clutch except that, here, the elastic washer 24 is elastically deformed. during these different phases so that the spring washer 24 is always in contact with both the diaphragm 14 and with the rigid washer 26.
- the elastic washer 24 ensures the permanent contact of the hinge ring 22 with the diaphragm 14 and the cover 12 of the clutch 10.
- the mounting of the elastic washer 24 on the rigid washer 26, mounted coaxially with the spring washer 24, provides a contact zone between these elastic washers 24 and rigid 26 more important than in the case of the clutch described in DE 1 775 1 16.
- the forces between the elastic and rigid annular members are distributed over a larger area also, which i makes it possible to obtain a better rigidity of the device so that the clutch according to the invention is adapted to very large forces - typically of the order of magnitude mentioned above - exerted by the diaphragm on the articulation on either side of this ring, thus reducing the wear of the spring washer against the diaphragm and the wear of the spring washer against the rigid washer.
- the clutch according to the invention is less subject to bending forces, especially at the level of the rigid washer 26, which could cause wear or other deterioration of the rigid washer 26.
- the work of the spacers is optimized because the effort of the spring washer 24 on the rigid washer 26 is applied to the mounting circle of the spacers 28 relative to the rigid washer 26. As a result, it is possible to subject the clutch according to the invention to greater efforts and / or reduce the number of spacers 28.
- Figure 3 shows the clutch 10 of Figure 1 after a large number of clutches and clutches that caused the wear of the hinge ring 22 and contact areas 40 , 44 of the ro elastic plate 24 with the diaphragm 14 and the rigid washer 26, respectively.
- This wear is reflected by the fact that the distance H ', in the axial direction, between the contact zones 40, 44 is greater in FIG. 3, therefore after a large number of clutches and clutches with respect to this same dimension.
- nine H as shown in Figure 2.
- the wear of the hinge ring 22 and the contact zones 40, 44 results in the appearance of clearances between the hinge ring 22, on the one hand, and the cover 12 and / or the diaphragm 14, on the other hand, and between the spring washer 24, on the one hand, and the diaphragm 14 and / or the rigid washer 26, on the other hand.
- this clearance is recovered by the elastic deformation of the spring washer 24 mounted preloading between the diaphragm 14 and the rigid washer 26.
- the first portion 38 of the spring washer 24 forming Belleville washer and / or the second portion 42 forming a washer Belleville allow, by their elastic deformation, to make up the game created by the wear of the hinge ring 22 and the contact areas 40, 44.
- the game is caught up by the deformation of the portion of the spring washer 24 disposed radially between the zone 40 of contact of the spring washer 24 with the diaphragm 14 and the contact zone 44 of the spring washer 24 with the rigid washer 26.
- the spring washer 24 compensates for this wear.
- FIGS 4 and 5 show two axial sections of a push diaphragm clutch according to the invention, respectively in operation and in storage mode, that is to say when the diaphragm is not subject to an axial force, in particular by the stop, contrary to what is the case when the clutch 10 is mounted in a motor vehicle.
- the radially outer end of the spring washer 24 bears on the rigid washer 26 while the diaphragm 14 is in contact with the end radially.
- the deformation of the elastic washer 24 is advantageously limited during the storage phases of the clutch according to the invention, this deformation being able to cause a detrimental plastic deformation of the elastic washer 24.
- a thrust diaphragm clutch comprising an elastic washer comprising only the first Belleville washer part in contact with the diaphragm, in particular in the case of weaker wear of the joint means, which also makes it possible to achieve a more compact articulation for the clutch.
