Abstract
A clutch connecting/disconnecting device comprises: a clutch pedal; a clutch cylinder; a depression force transmission mechanism; and an actuator. The depression force transmission mechanism is configured to include a cylinder device. The cylinder device includes an input piston, an output piston, a first oil chamber, and a second oil chamber. A pressure receiving area on the first oil chamber side of the output piston is male equal. to a pressure receiving area on the second oil chamber side of the output piston. The first oil chamber and the second oil chamber are connected via an electromagnetic valve connecting and disconnecting between the first oil chamber and the second oil chamber, and the actuator is connected to the output piston in a power transmitting manner.
Claims8
A clutch connecting/disconnecting device comprising:
- a clutch pedal operated by a driver;
- a clutch cylinder to which a depression force from the clutch pedal is transmitted;
- a depression force transmission mechanism transmitting the depression force from the clutch pedal to the clutch cylinder;
- and an actuator connected to the depression force transmission mechanism in a power transmitting manner and connecting and disconnecting a clutch via the depression force transmission mechanism, wherein
- the depression force transmission mechanism is configured to include a cylinder device to which the depression force from the clutch pedal is transmitted, wherein
- the cylinder device includes
- an input piston to which the depression force from the clutch pedal is input,
- an output piston for outputting a clutch operating hydraulic pressure to the clutch cylinder,
- a first oil chamber formed between the input piston and the output piston, and
- a second oil chamber supplied with a hydraulic oil for pressing the output piston with a hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic oil in a connecting direction of the clutch, wherein
- a pressure receiving area on the first oil chamber side of the output piston is made equal to a pressure receiving area on the second oil chamber side of the output piston, wherein
- the first oil chamber and the second oil chamber are connected via an electromagnetic valve connecting and disconnecting between the first oil chamber and the second oil chamber, and wherein
- the actuator is connected to the output piston in a power transmitting manner.
