Principle of the Clutch?

[DeRose]

Clutch consists of friction plates, spring plates, pressure plate, and power output shaft. It is located between the engine and the transmission, used to transmit the torque stored on the engine flywheel to the transmission, ensuring that the appropriate driving force and torque are delivered to the drive wheels under different driving conditions, belonging to the powertrain category. Below are specific details about the clutch: 1. Operating States: The clutch has three operating states, namely disengagement when the clutch is depressed, full engagement when the clutch is not depressed, and partial engagement or semi-engagement when the clutch is partially depressed. 2. Function Introduction: The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, allowing the transmission system to be separated or engaged at any time. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, through the transmission of mechanical parts, the large end of the diaphragm spring drives the pressure plate to move backward, at which point the driven part separates from the driving part.
