MULTI-FREE-DISK TYPE OF CLUTCH

摘要

The invention includes at least two free disks arranged between a drive-torque transmission disk and an output-torque receiving disk, each of the at least two free disks being freely rotatable. When a torque is to be transmitted, mutual gaps between the drive-torque transmission disk, the at least two free disks and the output-torque receiving disk are narrowed, so that the input torque of the driving unit is transmitted from the drive-torque transmission disk to one free disk adjacent to the drive-torque transmission disk by friction, the torque transmitted to the one free disk is transmitted to another free disk adjacent to the one free disk by friction, and the torque transmitted to the or another free disk on the most output-shaft side is transmitted to the output-torque receiving disk by friction.

1. A multi-free-disk type of clutch comprising
a driving unit configured to rotate in accordance with an input torque, the driving unit having a drive-torque transmission disk, an output shaft to which a torque is to be transmitted, the output shaft having an output-torque receiving disk, and at least two free disks arranged between the drive-torque transmission disk and the output-torque receiving disk, each of the at least two free disks being freely rotatable, wherein when the torque is to be transmitted; mutual gaps between the drive-torque transmission disk, the at least two free disks and the output-torque receiving disk are narrowed, so that the input torque of the driving unit is transmitted from the drive-torque transmission disk to one free disk adjacent to the drive-torque transmission disk by friction, the torque transmitted to the one free disk is transmitted to another free disk adjacent to the one free disk by friction, and the torque transmitted to the or another free disk on the most output-shaft side is transmitted to the output-torque receiving disk by friction, and when the torque is to be shut off; the mutual gaps between the drive-torque transmission disk, the at least two free disks and the output-torque receiving disk are broadened, so that torque transmission channel is shut off.
