CENTRIFUGAL COUPLING Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: centrifugal coupling has two axially alined coupling members one of which has a tight space and the other one is provided with eccentrics 7. Double-arm levers 4 is pivotally connected to the coupling member and their one arm is in contact with eccentric 7. Weights are positioned at others arms of the levers. Hydraulic dampers are made of baffles of two types which separate the coupling space into tight sections. The baffles of the first type 19 have different arms and are in contact with the edge of the tight space by end of their long arm and with the lever by their short arm. The baffles of the second type 22 are mounted with a throttle space between them and the levers. Magnitude of the space is alternative in possible moving of the levers. One baffle of the first and the second type is mounted at each lever. The coupling is provided with a planet gear whose carrier is rigidly connected with the other coupling member. Outer central wheel is coupled with one coupling member via an overrunning clutch. Inner central wheel is set in eccentrics. The eccentrics are mounted for rotation with respect to the other coupling member. EFFECT: improved design. 6 cl, 3 dwg
