Abstract
The invention relates to a transmission system for a motor vehicle including a first element and a second element movable in rotation with respect to each other about an axis X, and a coupling device which includes a first coupling part which is locked in rotation with the first element and movable with respect thereto between a coupled position and a decoupled position. Also included is a disk having a fixing region which is fixed axially to the first coupling part. The disk includes an annular portion forming a target and at least one elastic return portion which is configured to elastically return the first coupling part to the decoupled position. A sensor which is arranged facing the annular portion of the disk.
Claims18
A transmission system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a first element and a second element movable in rotation with respect to each other about an axis X, one of the first and second elements being intended to be driven by a motor and the other of the first and second elements being intended to drive at least one wheel shaft of the motor vehicle;
- and
- a coupling device which comprises:
- a first coupling part which is locked in rotation with the first element and a second coupling part which is locked in rotation with the second element, the first coupling part being movable with respect to the first element between a coupled position in which the first coupling part is coupled to the second coupling part to transmit a torque between the first element and the second element and a decoupled position in which the first coupling part and the second coupling part are decoupled from each other,
- a disk which comprises a fixing region which is fixed axially to the first coupling part, the disk comprising an annular portion forming a target and at least one elastic return portion which is configured to deform elastically during the movement of the first coupling part from the decoupled position to the coupled position and to exert a return force capable of elastically returning the first coupling part to the decoupled position,
- wherein the disk comprises a plurality of elastic return portions each comprising an elastic blade capable of bearing against a bearing region of the transmission system, said bearing region being axially fixed with respect to the second coupling part
- wherein the first element comprises a housing which includes studs projecting axially toward the outside of the housing in the direction of the disk, each stud having one end forming one of the bearing regions.
