Cette liaison cannelée a pour effet, durant les phases de transmission de couple, de solidariser axialement les arbres avec les porte-disques. Le mouvement axial des arbres de boite de vitesses entraine un déplacement des porte-disques de sortie au sein du mécanisme d’embrayage. Les paliers axiaux permettent alors de transférer les efforts axiaux au sein du mécanisme à double embrayage tout en autorisant la rotation des porte-disques entre eux. During gearbox ratio changes, the torque output shafts move axially due to axial forces present at the end of the gearbox. The carriers Output disks are rotatably connected to the torque output shafts via splines. This splined connection has the effect, during the torque transmission phases, to axially secure the shafts with the disk carriers. The axial movement of the gearbox shafts causes the output carriers to move within the clutch mechanism. The axial bearings then make it possible to transfer the axial forces within the double clutch mechanism while allowing the rotation of the disk carriers between them.
Les paliers axiaux constitués de bagues tournantes et d’aiguilles sont alors sollicités en charge. Un centrage du palier axial entre les porte-disques mobiles en rotation est nécessaire pour garantir une longévité de ce composant. Il est connu de la demande de brevet EP 2905492 A2 de centrer le palier axial sur le moyeu d’alimentation d’huile du mécanisme à double embrayage humide à l’aide de pattes de centrage spécifiques. Le palier axial n’est alors plus un composant standard acheté sur catalogue. Axial bearings consisting of rotating rings and needles are then solicited under load. Centering of the axial bearing between the rotating mobile disk carriers is necessary to ensure longevity of this component. It is known from patent application EP 2905492 A2 to center the axial bearing on the oil supply hub of the wet double clutch mechanism with the aid of specific centering tabs. The axial bearing is no longer a standard component purchased from the catalog.
Un autre moyen pour centrer le palier axial consiste à usiner une cavité intégralement dans le moyeu central constituant une partie du porte-disque de sortie. La cavité permet de maintenir et centrer axialement le palier axial entre les porte-disques du premier et du deuxième embrayage. Cette opération d’usinage entraine un surcoût de fabrication. Another means for centering the axial bearing is to machine a cavity integrally in the central hub constituting a portion of the output disk carrier. The cavity makes it possible to maintain and axially center the axial bearing between the disk carriers of the first and second clutches. This machining operation entails additional manufacturing costs.

For example, the actuation system may comprise a clutch support 140 integrated in the housing and extending axially towards the input element 2. The clutch support 140 of the actuating system 100 is coupled in rotation with the housing 130.
Un roulement à billes 150 est disposé entre le support d’embrayage 140 et le porte-disque d’entrée 10. Le roulement à billes 150 guide en rotation les premier et deuxième embrayages E1, E2 par rapport au système d’actionnement 100. Le roulement à billes 150 est en appui sur le porte-disque d’entrée 10. A ball bearing 150 is disposed between the clutch support 140 and the input disk carrier 10.

The multi-disk assembly of the first clutch E1 comprises flanges 11 rotatably connected to the input disk carrier and friction disks 12 rotatably connected to an output disk carrier 30. The friction disks 12 are, unitarily, axially interposed between two flanges 11 successive.
Le porte-disque de sortie 30 du premier embrayage E1 est un porte-disque assemblé selon le premier mode de mise en oeuvre de l’invention. Le porte-disque assemblé 30 est lié en rotation par engrènement avec les disques de friction 12 et par une liaison cannelée avec ledit premier arbre A1 mené. The output disk carrier 30 of the first clutch E1 is an assembled disk carrier according to the first embodiment of the invention. The assembled disk carrier 30 is rotatably linked by meshing with the friction discs 12 and by a splined connection with said first driven shaft A1.
Comme illustré sur la figure 2, le porte-disque assemblé 30 comprend un moyeu cylindrique 31 d’axe de rotation O comprenant une face d’appui 32 perpendiculaire à l’axe et un support de disques 33 de forme de révolution autour de l'axe O. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the assembled disk carrier 30 comprises a cylindrical hub 31 of axis of rotation O comprising a bearing face 32 perpendicular to the axis and a disk support 33 of revolution shape around the O axis.

The disk support 33 comprises in particular an axial extension 34 arranged to receive the multi-disk assembly of the first clutch E1 and an annular portion 35 delimited by an internal bore 36 extending radially inwards from the axial extension 34 in a manner plane perpendicular to the axis O. The annular portion 35 partially overlaps the bearing face 32 of the hub 31 according to a covering zone 37.
Le moyeu 31 et le support de disques 33 sont fixés ensemble par soudure laser par transparence au niveau de la zone de recouvrement 37. La soudure laser 39 est continue. The hub 31 and the disk carrier 33 are attached together by laser-transparency welding at the overlap area 37. The laser weld 39 is continuous.
L’alésage intérieur 36 du support de disques et la face d’appui 32 du moyeu 31 forment une cavité 38 qui reçoit et centre un palier axial 51. Le palier axial 51 est intercalé axialement entre l’élément d’entrée 2 et le porte-disque de sortie 30. The internal bore 36 of the disk support and the bearing face 32 of the hub 31 form a cavity 38 which receives and centers an axial bearing 51. The axial bearing 51 is interposed axially between the input element 2 and the door -disque output 30.
Le palier axial 51 comprend une bague extérieure, une bague intérieure et des aiguilles interposées axialement entre les deux bagues. Les aiguilles sont réparties angulairement selon l’axe O.
La bague extérieu re du palier 51 est reçue dans la cavité 38 du porte-disque assemblé 30. Le centrage se fait su r l’alésage intérieu r 36 de la portion an nulai re 35, ledit alésage étant découpé uniquement par u n outillage de presse. La fabrication du support de disques 33 est exempte d’étape supplémentai re telle que de l’usinage. The axial bearing 51 comprises an outer ring, an inner ring and needles interposed axially between the two rings. The needles are angularly distributed along the axis O. The outer ring of the bearing 51 is received in the cavity 38 of the assembled disk carrier 30. The centering is made on the inner bore 36 of the null portion 35, said bore being cut only by a press tool. . The manufacture of the disk carrier 33 is free of any additional step such as machining.
L’épaisseu r du palier axial 51 est légèrement supérieu re à la profondeu r de la cavité 38 mesu rée selon l’axe O. Ai nsi , la combinaison de la soudu re laser par transparence et le placement du palier axial au sei n de la cavité permet de rédui re l’encombrement axial du mécanisme à double embrayage humide.

On va maintenant décrire en référence à la figure 4, un porte- disque assemblé 30 selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l’invention sensiblement similaire au premier mode de réalisation à l’exception du fait que l’alésage intérieur 36 du support de disques 33 comprend des portions circulaires 36a de centrage. 4, an assembled disk carrier 30 according to a second embodiment of the invention substantially similar to the first embodiment except that the inner bore 36 of the disk carrier is described will now be described with reference to FIG. 33 comprises circular centering portions 36a.
Les portions circulaires 36a de centrage sont réparties angulairement autour de l’axe O, par exemple selon un angle de 120 degrés. Les portions circulaires s’étendent selon un angle compris entre 10 et 60 degrés. The centering circular portions 36a are distributed angularly around the axis O, for example at an angle of 120 degrees. The circular portions extend at an angle of between 10 and 60 degrees.
Pour assurer un bon centrage du palier axial 51, on prévoit au minimum trois portions circulaires. Le centrage du palier axial 51 se fait dans ce cas par des portions découpées uniquement par un outillage de presse. La précision de la découpe est ici concentrée sur trois zones au lieu d’un pourtour s’étendant sur 360 degrés. Le coût de fabrication de ce porte-disque assemblé est encore réduit.
On va maintenant décrire la fabrication du porte-disque assemblé 30, 40 suivant le premier mode de mise en oeuvre de l’i nvention com me illustré aux figu res 1 à 3. La fabrication comporte, entre autre, les étapes suivantes : To ensure proper centering of the axial bearing 51, at least three circular portions are provided. The centering of the axial bearing 51 is in this case by portions cut only by press tooling. The precision of the cut is here concentrated on three zones instead of a 360-degree circumference. The manufacturing cost of this assembled disk carrier is further reduced. We will now describe the manufacture of assembled disk carrier 30, 40 according to the first embodiment of the invention as illustrated in Figures 1 to 3. The manufacture comprises, inter alia, the following steps:
Selon u ne première étape, le moyeu 31 , 41 et le support de disques 33, 43 sont fabriqués séparément, le support de disque étant uniquement découpé par u n outillage de presse. According to a first step, the hub 31, 41 and the disk carrier 33, 43 are manufactured separately, the disk carrier being cut only by a press tool.
Selon une deuxième étape, le support de disques 33, 43 est appliqué sur le moyeu 31 , 41 au niveau de la zone de recouvrement 37, 47. In a second step, the disk carrier 33, 43 is applied to the hub 31, 41 at the overlap area 37, 47.
Selon u ne troisième étape, le moyeu et le support de disques sont fixés ensemble par soudu re laser par transparence au niveau de la zone de recouvrement. According to a third step, the hub and the disk support are fixed together by laser welding by transparency at the overlap area.
Selon ce procédé, la soudu re laser par transparence évite l’emploi de rivets de fixation encombrants axialement. La soudu re laser 39, 49 est conti nue et s’étend circonférentiellement le long de la collerette du moyeu 31 , 41 . According to this method, the transparent laser welder avoids the use of axially bulky fastening rivets. The laser welder 39, 49 is conti nue and extends circumferentially along the collar of the hub 31, 41.
On va mai ntenant décri re en référence à la figu re 5, u n porte- disque assemblé 30 selon un troisième mode de réalisation de l’i nvention sensiblement similai re au premier mode de réalisation à l’exception du fait que le moyeu cyli ndrique 31 et le support de disques 32 sont fixés ensemble par soudu re laser avec apport de matière au niveau de la zone de recouvrement 37. L’alésage intérieu r 36 du support de disques 33 comprend des portions circulai res 36a de centrage. La soudu re laser 39 est dans le cas présent discontinue et répartie ci rconférentiellement entre chaque portion ci rculai re 36a de centrage.

The inner bore 36 of the disc carrier 33 includes centering circular portions 36a. The laser welder 39 is in the present case discontinuous and distributed in a conventional manner between each centering portion 36a.
On va maintenant décri re en référence aux figu res 6 et 7, u n porte-disque assemblé 30 selon un quatrième mode de réalisation de l’i nvention sensiblement similai re au premier mode de réalisation à l’exception du fait que le moyeu cyli ndrique 31 et le support de
disques 32 sont fixés ensemble par rivetage au niveau de la zone de recouvrement 37. Reference will now be made to FIGS. 6 and 7, an assembled disk carrier 30 according to a fourth embodiment of the invention substantially similar to the first embodiment with the exception that the cylindrical hub 31 and the support of discs 32 are fixed together by riveting at the overlap area 37.
Dans cet exemple, le support de disques 33 comprend des rivets extrudés 60, issus de matière à parti r de la tôle d’acier. Les rivets extrudés 60 sont formés à parti r de la portion an nulaire 35 et insérés dans des orifices traversant la face d’appui 32 du moyeu cyli ndrique 31 . Lors de l’assemblage du porte-disque, les rivets 60 sont écrasés à la presse de manière à fixer solidement le moyeu avec le support de disques. In this example, the disk carrier 33 comprises extruded rivets 60, made from material from the steel sheet. The extruded rivets 60 are formed from the annular portion 35 and inserted into orifices through the bearing face 32 of the cylindrical hub 31. When assembling the disk carrier, the rivets 60 are crushed with the press so as to securely fasten the hub with the disk carrier.
De manière addition nelle, l’alésage intérieu r 36 du support de disques 33 comprend des pattes de centrage 61 décalées axialement par rapport à la portion annulai re 35. Les pattes de centrage 61 sont obtenues par découpe et emboutissage depuis l’alésage intérieu r 36 de la portion an nulai re 35. Les pattes de centrage 61 décalées axialement permettent de loger u n palier axial ai nsi que des cales additionnelles de réglage axial du mécanisme à double embrayage humide 1 . Avantageusement, il est possible de centrer u n composant ayant une épaisseu r supérieu re à l’épaisseu r de la tôle qui constitue le support de disques 33. Additionally, the inner bore 36 of the disk carrier 33 comprises centering tabs 61 axially offset from the annular portion 35. The centering tabs 61 are obtained by cutting and stamping from the internal bore. The axially offset centering tabs 61 allow an axial bearing to be accommodated, as well as additional shims for axial adjustment of the wet double clutch mechanism 1. Advantageously, it is possible to center a component having a thickness greater than the thickness of the sheet which constitutes the disk support 33.
Les pattes de centrage 61 peuvent être associées à d’autres modes de réalisation dans lesquels le moyeu et le support de disques sont par exemple fixés ensemble par soudu re laser. The centering tabs 61 may be associated with other embodiments in which the hub and the disk carrier are for example fixed together by laser welding.
L’invention n’est pas li mitée aux exemples de réalisation qui vien nent d’être décrit. Le porte-disque assemblé selon l’i nvention peut conveni r également au mécanisme d’embrayage de coupu re, de type KO, utilisé dans les transmissions hybrides pou r coupler le moteu r thermique au moteur électrique après la phase de démarrage du véhicule.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described. The disk carrier assembled according to the invention can also be adapted to the KO type clutch clutch mechanism used in hybrid transmissions to couple the thermal motor to the electric motor after the starting phase of the vehicle.
