Abstract
The present disclosure provides a double clutch assembly and a device for assisting an actuator of the double clutch. The device applies an assistance force to the actuator upon an operation of the actuator. In particular, the double clutch assembly includes first and second actuators which engage or disengage first and second clutches, respectively. The device includes: an elastic member to apply an elastic force; a first transfer portion to transfer the elastic force of the elastic member to the first actuator; and a second transfer portion to transfer the elastic force of the elastic member to the second actuator.
Claims14
A device for assisting an actuator of a double clutch assembly having first and second actuators separately engaging and disengaging first and second clutches, the device comprising:
- an elastic member configured to apply an elastic force;
- a first transfer portion configured to transfer the elastic force of the elastic member to the first actuator of the double clutch assembly;
- and
- a second transfer portion configured to transfer the elastic force of the elastic member to the second actuator of the double clutch assembly.
A device for assisting an actuator of a double clutch assembly having first and second actuators, the device comprising:
- a first elastic member configured to apply an elastic force to the first actuator;
- a second elastic member configured to apply an elastic force to the second actuator;
- and
- a pivot member configured to support the first elastic member and the second elastic member and be pivotally installed between the first elastic member and the second elastic member.
A double clutch assembly, comprising:
- first and second clutches configured to be separately operated from each other;
- first and second actuators configured to engage or disengage the first and second clutches, respectively;
- first and second force transfer portions configured to transfer forces applied by the first and second actuators to the first and second clutches;
- and
- a device configured to assist the first and second actuators, the device configured to selectively apply an assistance force to the first and second actuators.
