1.Start the process. When the diaphragm spring is installed between the clutch cover and the pressure plate, the pressure generated by its pre compression deformation on the pressure plate compresses the active and driven parts of the clutch, that is, the clutch is in the engaged state. The engine power is transmitted to the driven plate through the flywheel, clutch cover and pressure plate integrated with the crankshaft, and then to the input shaft of the transmission through the spline shaft sleeve of the driven plate.
2. Separation process. When the driver steps down the clutch pedal, the pedal moves to the left, the push rod moves to the left, and the diaphragm spring diaphragm is pushed to the left by the cylinder and the working cylinder. Affected by this, the diaphragm spring moves the big end to the right with the support pin fixed on the clutch cover as the fulcrum, and the movable pressing plate moves to the right under the action of the diaphragm. 3. Joint process. When the driver releases the clutch pedal, the pedal will return to its original position under the action of the return spring and drive the push rod and release bearing to return. In other words, the movement of the operating mechanism during the engagement process is the opposite of the separation process. When there is a gap between the release bearing and the diaphragm spring release plate, and the diaphragm spring presses the pressure plate against the driven plate again, the meshing process ends, and the clutch resumes the power transmission function.
