Summary of the invention
Double clutch generally can build in the axial direction, and wherein, described clutch element staggers relative to each other in the axial direction, or builds diametrically, and wherein, described clutch element staggers diametrically.So radial structure form General Requirements less position in axial direction compared with axial type is also preferably used when axial arrangement limited space.Task of the present invention is the double clutch providing a kind of radial-type, and this double clutch fully uses already present structure space better.The present invention solves this task by means of the double clutch of the feature with independent claims.Subclaims describe preferred embodiment.
Double clutch according to the present invention comprises an input side, one first outlet side and one second outlet side.In addition, first clutch element arranges for controlling that described input side and the torque of the first outlet side are sealed to be connected and second clutch element arranges and is connected with the torque of the second outlet side is sealed for controlling described input side.One actuating element is used for handling described second clutch element in the axial direction, to open or the closed sealed connection of described torque.In order to produce the pretightening force in the axial direction that is applied on described actuating element and be provided with the first spring element and the second spring element, wherein, the second spring element is arranged within the first spring element diametrically.
Required pretightening force can be assigned on two spring elements by the nested structure (Schachtelung) diametrically of spring element.The material thickness of each spring element can be reduced thus respectively.Be that each spring element provides more in the axial direction structure space by reducing material thickness.In addition, the stress level of described spring element when maximum manipulation can reduce.The possibility of the stress cracking of one of spring element can reduce thus.In addition can when one of spring element fault, another spring element can also realize urgent operation.Already present structure space can be enhanced ground and fully use by using described two spring elements staggered diametrically.
These clutch elements can stagger diametrically, thus make described double clutch be radial-type.At this, first clutch element is in outer and second clutch element is in diametrically diametrically, thus these two spring elements are applied on first clutch element external diametrically.Also the second clutch element that two spring element loads of staggering diametrically are built-in diametrically can be utilized in another embodiment.These two mode of executions also can be bonded to each other.In addition, described clutch element also can stagger in the axial direction, thus makes described double clutch be axial type.Spring element load first clutch element that also can be staggered diametrically by two in this embodiment, second clutch element or two clutch elements.
Preferably, described first spring element comprises the first disc spring.This disc spring can manufacture inexpensively and load.In addition, this disc spring can cause uniform, power in the axial direction on described actuating element periphery.
One of described first disc spring preferably abuts on described input side at interior edge diametrically, and one diametrically edge outside abut on described actuating element.Thus, the distortion under a load of described disc spring can fully use the structure space provided with being enhanced.
Described second spring element can comprise the second disc spring.Described second disc spring especially can use in conjunction with described first disc spring.
Described second disc spring one diametrically edge outside be preferably on described input side, and one abuts on described actuating element at interior edge diametrically.This loading position state can be more favourable about required structure space.
Preferably, the first spring element is in outside described second outlet side diametrically.Therefore the structure space provided outside the second outlet side diametrically can advantageously be used in described first spring element.
Described second spring element is preferably within described second outlet side diametrically.Especially preferred: described second spring element is within described second clutch element diametrically.Structure space built-in diametrically can be used with improving by described second spring element in two mode of executions.
In a particularly preferred mode of execution, set up the sealed connection of described torque in described actuating element primary importance in the axial direction and stop the sealed connection of described torque in the second place in the axial direction.At this, described spring element extrudes described actuating element towards the direction of the described second place axially.In other words, described spring element is applied on described actuating element, so that the sealed connection of torque between interrupting input side and the second outlet side.Thus, these spring elements are applied for the readjustment power of actuator, and this actuator is applied on described actuating element in the reverse direction, to set up the sealed connection of described torque.
In a particularly preferred mode of execution, described double clutch comprises a hydraulic actuator, for being applied to the power in the axial direction on described actuating element.The power in the axial direction of described actuator preferably with the spring force reverse direction of spring element.Accurately can control the closed of second clutch element thus, to set up the sealed connection of torque between input side and the second outlet side.These nested diametrically spring elements can especially in axial direction provide required readjustment power with high Security with when needing little structure space.
