- Clutch cover structure
The clutch cover assembly is mainly composed of rivets, drive plates, moisture-proof rivets, support springs, pressure plate, pressure plate cover, diaphragm spring and other parts.
- Clutch cover function
The clutch has three main functions:
(1) Ensure that the car starts smoothly. After the engine is started and before the car starts, the driver first steps on the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch to disengage the engine and the driveline, then put the transmission in gear, and then gradually release the clutch pedal to gradually engage the clutch. During the engagement process, the resistance torque received by the engine gradually increases, so the accelerator pedal should be stepped down gradually at the same time, that is, the fuel supply to the engine should be gradually increased so that the engine speed is always maintained at the lowest stable speed without stalling. At the same time, as the tightness of the clutch gradually increases, the torque transmitted from the engine to the driving wheels through the driveline gradually increases. When the traction force is sufficient to overcome the starting resistance, the car starts to move from a standstill and gradually accelerates.
(2) Achieve smooth gear shifting. In the driving process of a car, in order to adapt to changing driving conditions, the transmission system often needs to change different gears to work. To realize the gear shift of the gear transmission, it is generally to toggle the gear or other gear-in mechanism to push out a gear pair in the original gear position for transmission, and then make the gear pair in the other gear position enter work. Before shifting gears, you must depress the clutch pedal to interrupt the power transmission to facilitate the disengagement of the meshing pair of the original gear. At the same time, the speed of the meshing part of the new gear meshing pair gradually tends to be synchronized, so that the impact when entering the mesh can be greatly increased. Reduced to achieve smooth shifting.
(3) Prevent the drive train from overloading. When the car is in emergency braking, if there is no clutch, the engine will sharply reduce the speed due to the rigid connection with the drive train, so all the moving parts in it will generate a large moment of inertia, which can rely on the clutch between the active part and the driven part. The possible relative movement can eliminate the load that exceeds the load-carrying capacity of the drive train and reduce the damage of the mechanical parts.
