REGULATOR FOR CLUTCH OPERATING MECHANISM
Disclosed is a regulator for clutch operating mechanism. The regulator includes a main body, a supply flow path for fluid flow from a master cylinder to an operating cylinder, and a return flow for fluid flow from the operating cylinder to the master cylinder inside of the main body. The regulator further includes a first valve installed inside the main body and configured to close an exit of the return flow path and open the supply flow path when the fluid flows to the operating cylinder and a second valve installed inside the main body configured to close an exit of the supply flow path and to open the return flow path when the fluid flows to the master cylinder. The regulator further includes a damping apparatus having a damping space which communicates with the supply flow path of the main body and whose internal capacity changes according to hydraulic pressure.
DEVICE FOR ACTUATING A CLUTCH
A device for actuating a clutch, having an actuator with a pneumatic chamber (K.sub.P) delimited by a pneumatic active area (A.sub.P), two hydraulic chambers (K.sub.H1, K.sub.H2) each delimited by a hydraulic active area (A.sub.H1, A.sub.H2), and a control element (G) that is actively connected to the clutch and can be moved and subjected to a force by the active areas. The pneumatic active area is subjected to a pneumatic pressure by a compressed air source (Q.sub.P) to generate force in an actuating direction (B). The hydraulic chambers can each be hydraulically connected to a storage container (Q.sub.H) for hydraulic fluid by an electromagnetically actuatable 2/2-way proportional valve (V.sub.H1, V.sub.H2). Furthermore, a control system (CPU) is provided to independently control the pressure application of the pneumatic chamber and valve positions of the 2/2-way proportional valves.
Pipe joint
A pipe joint has a tube for fluid detachably fitted thereto, and is connected to a hydraulic device such as a cylinder. The pipe joint is provided with a body into which the tube for fluid is inserted, and an attachment/detachment mechanism which is provided inside the body and which can attach/detach the tube for fluid. An inner sleeve for connecting the tube for fluid and the hydraulic device is provided in the body, the inner sleeve being interchangeable with orifices having different opening diameters.
CLUTCH PEDAL VIBRATION REDUCTION APPARATUS CAPABLE OF ADJUSTING DAMPING FORCE
A clutch pedal vibration reduction apparatus configured for adjusting damping force, may include a vibration absorbing damper for absorbing vibration transmitted to a clutch pedal, wherein a space is formed in the vibration absorbing damper, an internal thread is formed at an inlet, and a damping force adjusting device for adjusting damping force is thread-coupled to the internal thread inside the space.
VIBRATION DAMPER FOR A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH ACTUATOR
The present disclosure relates to a vibration damper for a hydraulic clutch actuator. The vibration damper comprises a rigid housing comprising a chamber, and an inlet port and an outlet port forming a channel, the channel being in fluid communication with said chamber, and a propeller comprising a plurality of at least two blades, the propeller being rotatably mounted in said chamber, and a spiral torsion spring connected to said propeller in such a way that rotation of the propeller causes winding or unwinding of the spring.
Expansion chamber device for clutch pedal vibration attenuation in a hydraulically controlled clutch system
An expansion chamber device for clutch pedal vibration attenuation includes a cylindrical body having an inlet line integrally connected to and penetrating through a first end wall of the body. At an opposite end of the body from the first end wall is a discharge line integrally connected to and penetrating a second end wall of the body. A diameter of the expansion chamber device is approximately 3.8 cm and a length of the expansion chamber device ranges between approximately 10.2 cm to 15.2 cm. The expansion chamber device reduces vehicle and engine vibrations in a path including a clutch pedal over a frequency range between approximately 50 Hz to approximately 225 Hz.
VIBRATION DAMPER IN A HYDRAULIC FRICTION CLUTCH ACTUATION SYSTEM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
A pressure wave damper in a hydraulic system for actuating a friction clutch of a motor vehicle, which defines a sinuous path for a fluid of the hydraulic system is provided. The pressure wave damper, along the sinuous path, has a hydraulic pressure chamber elastically expandable by the fluid. The hydraulic pressure chamber is partially delimited by a resilient wall that is presented by a resilient vessel inside the hydraulic pressure chamber. An elastically compressible air chamber is formed inside the resilient vessel. One or more air channels place the air chamber in communication with air vent openings.
Pipe joint
A pipe joint has a tube for fluid detachably fitted thereto, and is connected to a hydraulic device such as a cylinder. The pipe joint is provided with a resin body into which the tube for fluid is inserted, and a metal body which can rotate relative to the resin body. The resin body comprises orifices which each have a different opening diameter, and, as a result of the rotation of the resin body relative to the metal body, the orifices can be disposed in a connection part providing a connection path between the tube for fluid and the hydraulic device.
Device for reducing pressure pulsations
The invention relates to a device that is always open for the pressure medium for reducing pressure pulsations and that can be switched between a pressure chamber of a slave cylinder and a pressure chamber of a master cylinder of a hydraulic force transmission system for motor vehicles. The device has an additional line section in the form of a channel having an opening on the slave cylinder side, an opening on the master cylinder side, and a channel length equaling a multiple of the direct distance between the two openings, and a volume receiver that can be elastically deformed under pressure, wherein the channel and the volume receiver are combined into an assembly in a housing. The result according to the invention is a device that not only has very good vibration dampening properties, but is also very compact and has a cost-effective design.
