Clutch structure and working principle are as follows: 1. The clutch consists of friction plates, spring plates, pressure plates, and a power output shaft. It is located between the engine and the transmission, used to transfer the torque stored on the engine flywheel to the transmission, ensuring that the vehicle delivers an appropriate amount of driving force and torque to the drive wheels under different driving conditions, belonging to the powertrain category. 2. During semi-engagement, the clutch allows for a speed difference between the power input and output ends, meaning it transfers an appropriate amount of power through this speed difference. 3. Among the various components of the clutch, the strength of the pressure plate spring, the friction coefficient of the friction plates, the diameter of the clutch, the position of the friction plates, and the number of clutches are key factors determining clutch performance. The stiffer the spring, the higher the friction coefficient of the friction plates, and the larger the diameter of the clutch, the better the clutch performance.
