What are the positions and functions of the clutch, brake, and accelerator?
1 Answers
The clutch is located on the far left of the driver's compartment, the brake is in the middle, and the accelerator is on the far right. Below are their functions: 1. Clutch: The clutch is housed within the flywheel shell between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. 2. Accelerator: Also known as the "throttle," it is the control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). In piston aircraft engines, the throttle controls the carburetor's throttle opening to adjust the cylinder's filling volume, thereby determining the engine's output power. 3. Brake: Also referred to as the braking system, it involves actions to stop or reduce the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, and other transport machinery. The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the machine's high-speed shaft and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the base to generate braking torque under external force.
