REVERSE FRICTION CLUTCH Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in different mechanisms for connecting shafts with transmission of rotation, including reversing. Proposed clutch contains driving and driven clutch members, flange of driving clutch member installed for axial displacement, cup connected with flange of driven clutch member and enclosing flange of driving clutch member, bottom of cup being provided with central hole and pointed towards driven clutch member, friction disk rigidly fastened on cup bottom, drive shaft with turbine arranged in central hole of cup and secured stationary on shaft, and spline joint. Novelty is that cup of driven clutch member is provided with through holes arranged symmetrically over circumference on side surface, and groove. Flange of driving clutch member is connected with driven shaft by skew splines with possibility of axial displacement at rotation of drive shaft. Friction disk is rigidly secured on flange of driven clutch member. EFFECT: improved reliability and provision of quick engagement of clutch, possibility of transmission of reverse rotation. 1 dwg
