CLUTCH COUPLING Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F16D13/28 F16D23/12 F16D27/11 

FIELD: mechanics.

SUBSTANCE: coupling consists at least of one clutch mechanism that comprises the first housing with the first working surface and the second housing with the second working surface. The first and the second housings are made with the possibility of coaxial movement relative to each other by means of a drive mechanism. The first and the second working surfaces are made with the possibility of loose connection between each other. Drive mechanism consists of crown gear that contains cam box and is made with the possibility of turning around rotation axis by the drive. Actually, the latter acts on crown gear in tangential direction through a linear electric motor or a switching stock. At that, mechanism being in position of switching the clutch coupling holds the first housing down to the second one. Coupling can also be made in the form of a double coupling with two clutch assemblies, at that, each clutch assembly contains a clutch mechanism. Cam boxes of two clutch mechanisms are of reciprocal shape relative to each other.

EFFECT: coupling allows transferring high forces, and provides quick and accurate gear shifting.
