The basic structure of a car clutch includes the following components:
Rotating parts: including the crankshaft on the engine side, the input shaft and the drive shaft on the transmission side. The engine transmits power to the input shaft through the crankshaft, and then to the wheels through the drive shaft.
Flywheel: Located on the side of the engine, it is used to store the rotational kinetic energy of the engine and provide it to the pressure plate of the clutch.
Clutch Pressure plate: Located above the flywheel, it is fixed to the flywheel through the pressure plate and pressure plate spring. When the clutch pedal is released, the pressure plate is pressed against the flywheel by the spring; when the clutch pedal is depressed, the pressure plate is separated from the flywheel.
Clutch Release bearing: Located between the pressure plate and flywheel, it consists of one or more bearings. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the release bearing pushes the pressure plate away from the flywheel to achieve clutch separation.
Gear and clutch disc: The clutch disc is located on the side of the transmission input shaft and is connected to the drive shaft through gears to transmit the engine's power to the wheels. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch disc separates from the transmission input shaft, preventing engine power from being transferred to the wheels. The above is the basic structure of the automobile clutch.
They work together to realize the connection and separation between the engine and the transmission, and control the power transmission and driving operation of the vehicle.
