파워시프트는 동력전달의 단속 없이 변속할 수 있는 변속 방식이다. 기어는 동기 물림식으로 되어 있으며, 유압 클러치를 통하여 주행 중에도 동력의 흐름을 제어할 수 있다. 주요 구성 요소는 동력 흐름을 제어할 수 있는 유압 클러치와 동력을 전달하는 기어 조합이며, 유압 클러치는 피스톤, 리턴 스프링, 디스크, 플레이트 등으로 구성되어 있다. 접속 시에는 유압 피스톤이 리턴 스프링을 압축하며 전진하여 플레이트와 디스크에 수직력을 가하고 이를 결합시켜 동력을 전달한다. 해제 시에는 리턴 스프링에 의하여 피스톤이 후퇴하고 동력이 차단된다. 이때 유압 제어 시스템은 최대 견인 부하에서도 변속을 원활하게 하기 위하여, 클러치 압력을 이용해 변속 중 작동 클러치의 토크를 정교하게 제어한다.

Damper springs in a drive-line absorb the impulsive torque generated when a lock-up clutch is connected directly, instead of via a fluid coupling. Design optimization and finite element analysis were performed to improve the shock- and vibration-absorption capacity of the lock-up clutch. For this purpose, a multi-body dynamics model was developed by including the main parts of a vehicle, such as an engine with a clutch, a transmission, drive shafts and wheels, and a whole mass of a vehicle. The spring constants were selected so that resonance of a system could be avoided. Damper springs were optimized on the basis of the spring constants, impulsive torques, compressed angles, spring counts, fatigue constraints, etc. Topology optimization was performed for three plates with the damper springs. The compliance was set up as an objective function, and volume fraction was fixed below 0.3. A new shape for the plates was proposed on the basis of the topology result.

오늘날 산업용 차량은 대부분 유압식 클러치를 채택하여 사용하고 있다 유압식 클러치는 운전자가 손쉽게 엔진으로부터 동력을 바퀴까지 전달 또는 차단하는 기능을 갖고 있기 때문이다. 차량속도에 대한 운전자의 다양한 요구는 다수의 변속 단수를 갖는 기어트레인이나 연속가변식 변속기(CVT) 원하고 있다. 그 중에 기어단을 단속하는 클러치는 엔진의 회전력과 차량 관성력을 효과적으로 연결 또는 차단을 위해 다수의 마찰판과 유체압력을 이용하여 작동된다. 유압식 클러치는 동작방식에 따라서 유체압력이 작동하면 동력을 전달하는 POSITIVE방식과 자체 탄성 스프링력에 의해서 동력을 전달하는 NEGATIVE방식이 있다. POSITIVE방식 유압식 클러치는 동력전달시 어큐뮬레이터를 이용하여 충격을 줄이고, 부하 변동시 승차감각을 향상할 수 있는 장점이 있다 TRX500 트랙터에 사용되는 유압식 클러치는 POSITIVE방식을 채택하고 있다. (중략)

An analytical solution for deflection-load characteristics of a conical disk spring used especially in the automotive manual transmission clutch applications is proposed in order to take into account the effects of friction and large deformation. The conical disk spring, or the diaphragm spring, has a hinge support, an application point of release load at the tip of the fingers and an application point of clamp load near but inside the outer perimeter of the conical disk spring. The friction coefficient is assumed to be a constant regardless of the speed of deflection and the magnitude of loads. Comparison with experimental shows a good agreement with the analytical prediction. Also, the sensitivity of the clamp load due to variations in the geometrical parameters of the conical disk spring is calculated and discussed.

This article deals with the numerical analysis results of stiffness of diaphragm spring used in the clutch of a manual transmission. In order to investigate the relationship of the force and displacement in a diaphragm spring, we have established a numerical model of diaphragm spring using a well-known analytic model of Belleville spring and a cantilever beam model for the finger part of diaphragm spring. Using the stress and strain relations of Belleville spring and cantilever beam, we propose the analytic equation of motion of diaphragm spring for the use of a clutch automated actuator in an automated manual transmission. The proposed analytic model represents the typical dynamic characteristics of diaphragm spring along with the release bearing travel. And it is characterized in a closed-form equation, therefore it can be used for the further study of development of actuator and control law of clutch automating mechanism.

A clutch is a very important component when engine starts and gear shifting is needed. The clutch the most commonly used is the dry clutch. This type of clutch has pads, and they are worn after disengagement of clutch little by little. The characteristics of the clutch changes as these pads wear, so wear needs to be measured, and the clutch should be controlled for proper operation. In this study, the clutch contact point estimation algorithm has been developed. From this algorithm, clutch force map changes depending on wear, and the clutch operates properly. We also see the shifting transient of a vehicle for drivability with throttle valve position control and synchronizer movement.

The input torque ripple induced by combustion engines is a significant source of NVH(noise, vibration and harshness) problem in automotive transmissions. Because this torque fluctuation is primarily transmitted to the input shaft of automotive powertrains(e.g., automatic transmissions) when the lock-up clutches are closed, a torsional damper with helical springs is generally inserted between engine and transmissions to isolate the input vibratory energy, which is essential for the passenger comfort. The torsional vibration isolator exhibits frequency ranges in which there is low vibration transmissibility. However, the isolation performance is currently evaluated through the static torsional spring characteristics. In this study, the transmissibility of torsional spring dampers, essential dynamic performance index for vibration isolator, is first experimentally evaluated.

An automobile clutch diaphragm spring is operating in a closed clutch housing under high temperature and subject to high stress concentration in driving condition, which frequently causes cracks and fracture. The material of spring is required to possess sufficient fatigue strength and tenacity, which depend largely on the condition of tempering heat treatment. In this paper, specimens are made under a number of different tempering temperatures md tested to find the optimal tempering heat treatment condition. The experiments include the verification of microscopic structure, hardness, tensile strength, fatigue crack growth rate, stress intensity factor range and residual stress. Also, decarbonization, which occurs in actual heat treatment process, is measured and allowable decarbonization depth is studied by durability test.

This study analyzes harmonic vibration with natural frequency according to the configuration of damper clutch. In the case of double spring, equivalent stress at same direction of the revolution at inner and outer coil spring is over 30% as compared with at its opposite direction. Natural frequency or harmonic response with maximum deformation in case of the less coil pitch is below 3Hz as compared with in case of the more coil pitch. As the coil pitch of damper spring as the case 2 or 4 becomes smaller, its mass and deformation can be large. In these cases, spring constant and natural frequency become smaller. In the case 5 or 6 of double spring at natural vibration or harmonic response, the frequency becomes over 300Hz. As the result of this study is applied by the design of damper spring, the damage at its connected part is prevented and the durability can be predicted.
