Clutch control device

A clutch control device comprising:

• a clutch apparatus configured to connect and disconnect power transmission between a prime mover and an output target;
• a clutch actuator configured to output a driving force for actuating the clutch apparatus;
• and
• a driving mechanism configured to receive the driving force of the clutch actuator and actuate the clutch apparatus,
• wherein the driving mechanism is able to apply the driving force in either a disconnecting direction or a connecting direction to the clutch apparatus,
• the clutch actuator applies the driving force in a clutch connecting direction to the clutch apparatus according to an operation situation of the prime mover,
• the clutch apparatus comprises a spring member configured to generate a pressing force in the clutch connecting direction,
• the clutch actuator applies the driving force in the clutch connecting direction to the clutch apparatus by a driving source separate from the spring member, in addition to a biasing force of the spring member, only in a previously determined operation situation of the prime mover,
• the driving mechanism comprises a first transmission member on a side of the clutch actuator and a second transmission member on a side of the clutch apparatus, and
• the first transmission member is in constant mechanical engagement with the second transmission member.
