Clutch system with oscillation decoupling for vehicle drive train
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11927224B2) discloses a unique clutch system that includes an oscillation decoupling system and a clutch. The oscillation decoupling system comprises an adjustment element, an actuating mechanism with an active element, and a predetermined play region where the active element and adjustment element interact without moving the other element when the actuating mechanism is not engaged. The adjustment element also includes a disengaging mechanism for the clutch, facilitating engagement and disengagement.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail additional features of the clutch system, such as the presence of spring elements to reduce play in the adjustment element, the use of tubes with radial grooves and lug elements for interaction, and the inclusion of damping elements and spring elements in the oscillation decoupling region. The actuating mechanism can be an electric linear drive, hydraulic cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder, catering to different operational requirements. The oscillation decoupling system is designed for use in utility vehicles, transmissions, and clutches, showcasing its versatility and potential applications in various industries.
