Abstract
A multiple disk clutch with a multiple disk pack and a power transmission device for transmitting an actuating force through openings in a wall of the multiple disk clutch to the multiple disk pack, wherein the power transmission device has transmission fingers that extend through the openings. The openings are at least partially arranged in a first wall section of the wall extending in the axial direction. In addition, the present invention relates to a dual clutch device having at least one such multiple disk clutch.
Claims21
A multiple disk clutch with a multiple disk pack and a power transmission device for transmitting an actuating force through openings in a wall of the multiple disk clutch to the multiple disk pack, wherein the power transmission device has transmission fingers that extend through the openings, wherein the openings are arranged at least partially in a first wall section of the wall extending in an axial direction;
- wherein the power transmission device has a first power transmission element on the side of the wall facing away from the multiple disk pack and a second power transmission element on the side of the wall facing the multiple disk pack, which can be supported on one another in the axial direction via the transmission fingers;
- and
- wherein between the first and second power transmission element a transfer region in which the first and second power transmission elements can be supported or are supported on one another is formed, and between the second power transmission element and the multiple disk pack an application region is formed, in which the second power transmission element can be or is supported on the multiple disk pack, wherein the largest diameter of the transfer region is formed smaller than the smallest diameter of the application region;
- and
- wherein the first wall section is inclined in the axial direction, and wherein the first wall section encloses an angle of inclination of at most 45° with respect to an axis of rotation of the multiple disk clutch and/or has a rectilinear course.
A multiple disk clutch with a multiple disk pack and a power transmission device for transmitting an actuating force through openings in a wall of the multiple disk clutch to the multiple disk pack, wherein the power transmission device has transmission fingers that extend through the openings, wherein the openings are arranged at least partially in a first wall section of the wall extending in an axial direction;
- wherein the power transmission device has a first power transmission element on the side of the wall facing away from the multiple disk pack and a second power transmission element on the side of the wall facing the multiple disk pack, which can be supported on one another in the axial direction via the transmission fingers;
- and
- wherein the transmission fingers are formed in one piece with the first power transmission element, and wherein the transmission fingers extend in an axial region and a radial region which is larger than the axial region, and/or the transmission fingers have an axially protruding and/or curved section for support on the second power transmission element;
- and
- wherein the first power transmission element and second power transmission element are formed separately from one another, and wherein the second power transmission element is in rotational driving engagement with a multiple disk carrier or a multiple disk carrier section of a multiple disk carrier of the multiple disk clutch.
A multiple disk clutch with a multiple disk pack and a power transmission device for transmitting an actuating force through openings in a wall of the multiple disk clutch to the multiple disk pack, wherein the power transmission device has transmission fingers that extend through the openings, wherein the openings are arranged at least partially in a first wall section of the wall extending in an axial direction;
- wherein the power transmission device has a first power transmission element on the side of the wall facing away from the multiple disk pack and a second power transmission element on the side of the wall facing the multiple disk pack, which can be supported on one another in the axial direction via the transmission fingers;
- and
- wherein between the first and second power transmission element a transfer region in which the first and second power transmission elements can be supported or are supported on one another is formed, and between the second power transmission element and the multiple disk pack an application region is formed, in which the second power transmission element can be or is supported on the multiple disk pack, wherein the largest diameter of the transfer region is formed smaller than the smallest diameter of the application region;
- wherein the first power transmission element and second power transmission element are formed separately from one another, and wherein the transmission fingers are formed in one piece with the first power transmission element or the second power transmission element and the second power transmission element is in rotational driving engagement with a multiple disk carrier or a multiple disk carrier section of a multiple disk carrier of the multiple disk clutch;
- and
- wherein the second power transmission element has a supporting section which is set back in the axial direction with respect to the multiple disk pack, on which the first power transmission element can be directly supported or directly is supported and which is arranged in the axial direction and is arranged in alignment with an inner multiple disk carrier of the multiple disk clutch or a multiple disk carrier section of the inner multiple disk carrier.
A multiple disk clutch with a multiple disk pack and a power transmission device for transmitting an actuating force through openings in a wall of the multiple disk clutch to the multiple disk pack, wherein the power transmission device has transmission fingers that extend through the openings, wherein the openings are arranged at least partially in a first wall section of the wall extending in an axial direction;
- wherein the power transmission device has a first power transmission element on the side of the wall facing away from the multiple disk pack and a second power transmission element on the side of the wall facing the multiple disk pack, which can be supported on one another in the axial direction via the transmission fingers;
- and
- wherein between the first and second power transmission element a transfer region in which the first and second power transmission elements can be supported or are supported on one another is formed, and between the second power transmission element and the multiple disk pack an application region is formed, in which the second power transmission element can be or is supported on the multiple disk pack, wherein the largest diameter of the transfer region is formed smaller than the smallest diameter of the application region;
- wherein the dual clutch device is designed as a concentric dual clutch device, in which the multiple disk clutch forms a radially outer multiple disk clutch, which surrounds a radially inner multiple disk clutch;
- wherein a rotor of an electrical machine is attached to an input-side multiple disk carrier of the radially outer multiple disk clutch;
- wherein the rotor is aligned in the axial direction with the multiple disk pack of the radially outer multiple disk clutch;
- and
- wherein the rotor is arranged radially nested with a separating clutch for selective torque transmission between a clutch input hub and the input-side multiple disk carrier.
