1、Transmission SystemA Basic Parts of the transmission systemThe transmission system applies to the components needed to transfer the drive from the engine to the road wheels. The main components and their purposes are(1) Clutch - to disengage the drive - to provide a smooth take-up of the drive(2) Ge

2、arbox - to increase the torque applied to the driving road wheels - to enable the engine to operate within a given range of speed irrespective of the vehicle speed - to give reverse motion of the vehicle - to provide a neutral position so that the engine can run without moving the vehicle(3) Final d

3、rive - to turn the drive through 90° - to reduce the speed of the drive by a set amount to match the engine to the vehicle(4) Differential - to allow the inner driving road wheel to rotate slower than the outer wheel when the vehicle is cornering, whilst it ensures that a drive is applied equal

4、ly to both wheels. B Clutch and Clutch ServiceIn order to transmit the power of the engine to the road wheels of a car, a friction clutch and a change-speed gearbox are normally employed. The former is necessary in order to enable the drive to be taken up gradually and smoothly, while the latter pro

5、vides different ratios of speed reduction from the engine to the wheels, to suit the particular conditions of running,A clutch performs two tasks:(1) it disengages the engine from the gearbox to allow for gear changing.(2) it is a means for gradually engaging the engine to the driving wheels, when a

6、 vehicle is to be moved from rest the clutch must engage a stationary gearbox shaft with the engine; this must be rotating at a high speed to provide sufficient power or else the load will be too great and the engine will start (come to test).C Clutch Action To start the engine, the driver must depr

7、ess the clutch pedal. This disengages the gearbox from the engine. To move the car, the driver must reengage the gearbox to the engine. However, the engagement of the parts must be gradual. An engine at idle develops little power. If the two parts were connected too quickly, the engine would stall.

8、The load must be applied gradually to operate the car smoothly.A driver depresses the clutch pedal to shift the gears inside the gearbox. After the driver releases the clutch pedal, the clutch must act as solid coupling device. It must transmit all engine power to the gearbox, without slipping.The c

9、lutch mechanism include three basic parts: driving member, driven member, operating members. The driving memberThe driving member consists of two parts: the flywheel and the pressure plate. The flywheel is bolted directly to the engine crankshaft and rotates when the crankshaft turns. The pressure p

10、late is bolted to the flywheel. The result is that both flywheel and pressure plate rotate together. The driven member The driven member, or clutch disc, is located between the flywheel and pressure plate. The disc has a splined hub that locks to the splined input shaft on the gearbox .Any rotation

11、of the clutch disc turns the input shaft .Likewise, any motion of the input shaft moves the clutch disc. The splines allow the clutch disc to move forward and backward on the shaft as it engages and disengages.The inner part of the clutch disc, called the hub flange, has a number of small coil sprin

12、gs. These springs are called torsional springs. They let the middle part of the clutch disc turn slightly on the hub. Thus, the springs absorb the torsional vibrations of the crankshaft. When the springs have compressed completely, the clutch moves back until the springs relax. In other words, the c

13、lutch absorbs these engine vibrations, preventing the vibrations from going through the drive train. Operating MembersThese are the parts that release pressure from the clutch disc. The operating members consist of the clutch pedal, clutch return spring, clutch linkage, clutch fork, and throwout bea

14、ring. The clutch linkage includes the clutch pedal and a mechanical or hydraulic system to move the other operating members.When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch linkage operates the clutch fork .The clutch fork, or release fork, moves the throwout bearing against the pressure plate release

15、 levers. These levers then compress springs that normally hold the clutch disc tightly against the flywheel.At this point, the torque of the engine cannot turn the gearbox input shaft. The gears in the gearbox may be shifted or the vehicle can be brought to a full stop.When the clutch pedal is relea

16、sed, the pressure plate forces the clutch disc against the flywheel. The clutch return spring helps raise the pedal.D Clutch Service The major parts of the clutch assembly need no maintenance or lubrication during normal service. However, all linkage parts need lubrication at points of contact. The

17、linkage itself must be adjusted to prevent wear of the clutch disc. Free-play AdjustmentYou can make only one adjustment on the clutch linkage the free-play adjustment. Free play is the allowable space between the throwout bearing and the pressure plate release levers. This space is important becaus

18、e it prevents pressure on the levers that could keep the clutch from engaging fully. In other words, the throwout bearing must be slightly away from the pressure plate levers so that the bearing applies no pressure on the levers. On the other hand, there must not be too much free play between the be

19、aring and the levers. With too much clearance, the clutch cannot fully disengaged when the driver press the clutch pedal to the floor. In most cases, you measure the free play at the clutch pedal, rather than at the bell housing.The free play allows some motion at the beginning of the clutch pedal t

20、ravel, before the pedal meets resistance. Since the distance varies with the type of pressure plate, check the service manual. Usually, free play should be about 20 to 25mm. Free play can be adjusted at some point where the clutch linkage consists of threaded rods with locknuts. The rod closest to t

21、he clutch fork is the most common adjustment point. Begin by locating the rod and locknut beneath the vehicle. Then determine which way to turn the adjustment nuts to get the correct free play at the pedal. You can get a rough estimate of free play by moving the clutch fork to see if it still has so

22、me movement. The best way to make the adjustment is to loosen the locknut and move the adjustment nut a few turns. Then check the free play at the pedal. Continue making adjustments until you have the correct free play. When the free-play adjustment meets the manufacturers specification, tighten the

23、 locknut. Check the free-play adjustment every six months and make any adjustment. Clutches need adjustment that often, since free play decreases slightly as the clutch disc wears. However, the need for frequent adjustments means a problem in the clutch mechanism itself. There must be free play betw

24、een the throwout bearing and pressure plate release levers. Problems can result from “riding the clutch”. A driver who rests one foot on the clutch pedal causes the throwout bearing to rub against the clutch release levers. As a result, the throwout bearing becomes worn quickly. Also, the clutch dis

25、c may wear out due to slippage because the parts are not fully engaged. Clutch FaultsThe following are the main faults:Slip failure of the surface to grip resulting in the driven plate revolving slower than the engine flywheel : Clutch gets hot and emits an odor.Spin or drag failure of the plates to

26、 separate resulting in noise from the gearbox when selecting a gear: most noticeable when the vehicle is stationary.Judder a vibration which occurs when the clutch is being engaged , i.e. when the vehicle is stationary.Fierceness sudden departure of the vehicle even though the pedal is being release

27、d gradually.E The Clutches（supplementary contract）A clutch is a friction device used to connect and disconnect a driving force from a driven member. In automotive applications, it is used in conjunction with an engine flywheel to provide smooth engagement and disengagement of the engine and manual t

28、ransmission.Since an internal combustion engine develops little power or torque at low rpm, it must gain speed before it will move the vehicle. However, if a rapidly rotating engine is suddenly connected to the drive line of a stationary vehicle, a violent shock will result.So gradual application of

29、 load, along with some slowing of engine speed , is needed to provide reasonable and comfortable starts. In vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, this is accomplished by means of a mechanical clutch.The clutch utilizes friction for its operation. The main parts of the clutch are a pressure p

30、late, and a driven disk. The pressure plate is coupled with the flywheel, while the driven disk is fitted to the disk by the springs so that the torque is transmitted owing to friction forces from the engine to the input shaft of the transmission. Smooth engagement is ensured by slipping of the disk

31、 before a full pressure is applied.The automobiles are equipped with a dry spring-loaded clutch. The clutch is termed “dry” because the surfaces of the pressure plate and driven disks are dry in contrast to oil-bath clutches in which the plate and disks operate in a bath of oil. It is called “spring

32、loaded” because the pressure plate and the driven disk are always pressed to each other by springs and are released only for a time to shift gears or to brake the automobile.In addition to the plate and disk, the clutch includes a cover, release levers, a release yoke, pressure springs and a control

33、 linkage. The clutch cover is a steel stamping bolted to the flywheel. The release levers are secured inside the cover on the supporting bolts. The outer ends of the release levers are articulated to the pressure plate. Such a construction allows the pressure plate to approach the cover or move away

34、 from it, all the time rotating with the cover or move away from it, all the time rotating with the flywheel. The springs spaced around the circumference between the pressure plate and the clutch cover clamp the driven disk between the pressure plate and the flywheel.The springs are installed with t

35、he aid of projections and sockets provided on the cover and pressure plate. The pressure plate sockets have thermal-insulation gaskets for protecting the springs against overheating.The clutch release mechanism can be operated either mechanically or hydraulically. The mechanically-operated release m

36、echanism consists of a pedal, a return spring, a shaft with lever, a rod m release yoke lever, a release yoke, a release ball bearing with support and a clutch release spring. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the rod and shaft with yoke shift the release bearing and support assembly. The release

37、bearing presses the inner ends of the release levers, the pressure plate is moved away from the driven disk and the clutch is disengaged. To engage the clutch , the pedal is released, the release bearing and support assembly is shifted back by the return spring thus releasing the release levers so t

38、hat the pressure plate is forced by its springs towards the flywheel to clamp the driven disk and engage the clutch.The clutch hydraulically-operated release mechanism consists of a clutch pedal , clutch release spring , a main cylinder , a pneumatic booster, pipelines and hoses and a lever of the c

39、lutch release yoke shaft. Time main cylinder accommodates a piston with a cup. The pneumatic booster serves to decrease the pedal force required disengage the clutch. The booster includes two housings with the servo diaphragm clamped in between. The housing accommodates pneumatic, hydraulic and serv

40、o plungers. When the clutch pedal is pushed, the fluid pressure from the main cylinder is transmitted through the pipelines and hoses to the hydraulic and servo plungers of the pneumatic booster.The servo arrangement is intended for automatic change of the air pressure in the pneumatic cylinder prop

41、ortionally to the force applied to the pedal. The plunger moves with the diaphragm, the outlet valve closes and the inlet valve opens thus admitting the compressed air to the pneumatic plunger piston. The forces created by the pneumatic and hydraulic plungers are added together and are applied throu

42、gh the push rod to the release yoke shaft lever; the lever turns the shaft and the release yoke, thus disengaging the clutch. After the clutch pedal is released, the outlet valve opens and the air from the cylinder is let out to the atmosphere.Automatic clutches were used in certain U.S. and Europea

43、n cars. American Motors “E-Stick” clutch eliminated the need for physical operation of the clutch system called “Hydrak”, which consisted of a fluid flywheel connected to a single, dry disk clutch.In the “E-Stick” set up, the pressure plate levers “engage” the clutch disk rather than “release” them.

44、 Also, the clutch remains disengaged until a servo unit is applied by oil pressure when the shift lever is placed “in gear” with the engine running.The “Hydrak” unit also begins operation when the lever is “in gear”. This activates a booster unit, which disengages the clutch disk. The hydraulic clut

45、ch parts are bridged over by a free-wheel unit, which goes into action when the speed of the rear wheel is higher than the speed of the engine. A special device controls engagement of the mechanical clutch, depending on whether the rear axle is in traction or is pushed by car momentum.A more-or-les

46、unusual clutch pressure plate set-up is used on late model Chrysler and American Motors cars. Called a semi-centrifugal clutch, the pressure plate has six cylindrical rollers which move outward under centrifugal force until they contact the cover. As engine speed increases, the rollers wedge themsel

47、ves between the pressure plate and cover so that the faster the clutch rotates, the greater the pressure exerted on the pressure plate and disk.傳動系統(tǒng)A 基本傳動系統(tǒng)的組成部份傳動系統(tǒng)是將發(fā)動機動力轉(zhuǎn)移到驅(qū)動輪的結(jié)構(gòu)。主要的結(jié)構(gòu)和目的是：(1)離合器 - 分離驅(qū)動； - 平順的接合驅(qū)動；(2)變速器 - 增加提供給驅(qū)動輪的轉(zhuǎn)矩； - 使發(fā)動機能夠在給定的速度范圍里面運轉(zhuǎn)而不考慮的車速； - 使車輛的作倒退運動； - 提供一個齒輪的空檔以便發(fā)動機能不需

48、要移動車輛就運轉(zhuǎn)；(3)減速器 - 使驅(qū)動轉(zhuǎn)向90 °； - 減少一定的驅(qū)動轉(zhuǎn)速并增大輸入轉(zhuǎn)矩；(4) 差速器 - 當車輛轉(zhuǎn)彎行駛時允許內(nèi)側(cè)驅(qū)動輪比外側(cè)驅(qū)動輪慢，同時驅(qū)動相等地作用于兩輪。 B 離合器和離合器功用為了要將發(fā)動機動力傳遞到汽車驅(qū)動輪，通常使用磨擦離合器和變速器的組合。前者是為了要逐漸地而且平順地接合并傳遞驅(qū)動 , 這是必需的，同時后者按不同比率減少兩輪轉(zhuǎn)速以適合特殊駕駛情況。離合器運行的二個作用：(1) 它將發(fā)動機與變速器分離使其換檔；(2) 它可以解釋為逐漸的接合驅(qū)動車輪與發(fā)動機 ；離合器必須以高速的轉(zhuǎn)動來產(chǎn)生足夠的動力，否則會因負荷過大，導致發(fā)動機熄火。 (進入靜止

49、狀態(tài))C 離合器工作原理為了啟動發(fā)動機，駕駛員首先得踩下離合器踏板，使發(fā)動機與變速器分離。 為了使汽車能夠行駛，駕駛員必須再接合發(fā)動機與變速器。然而，這種接合得是逐漸進行的。發(fā)動機在不工作狀態(tài)時只能產(chǎn)生極小的動力。如果二個部份連接太快，發(fā)動機將會熄火。同時負荷必須被逐漸地加載才可以平順地駕駛汽車。駕駛員踩下離合器踏板并掛檔變速器。在駕駛員松開離合器踏板之后，離合器成為一個結(jié)合裝置，將所有的發(fā)動機力量傳遞到變速器，而不會打滑。離合器機構(gòu)包括三個基本的部份：主動部分，從動部分，操縱機構(gòu)。主動部分主動部分分為兩個部份: 飛輪和壓力盤。飛輪直接地被閂在發(fā)動機的傳動軸上并且隨之一起轉(zhuǎn)動。壓力盤被閂在飛輪

50、端面上與飛輪一起轉(zhuǎn)動。從動部分從動部分，或離合器盤，位于飛輪和壓力盤之間。離合器盤上有一個花鍵轂用來扣在變速器上與從動軸連接。離合器盤的任何轉(zhuǎn)動都將帶動從動軸轉(zhuǎn)動，同樣地，從動軸的任何運動都將傳遞到離合器盤。從動盤在從動軸上的前后移動、分離嚙合通過滑動花鍵得以實現(xiàn)。離合器盤的內(nèi)部，叫做法蘭盤轂，有若干的小螺旋彈簧。這些彈簧叫做扭力彈簧。它們讓離合器盤的中央部份在轂上些微地轉(zhuǎn)動，因此彈簧吸收傳動軸的扭轉(zhuǎn)振動。當彈簧完全壓縮時，離合器壓回到原始位置，直到彈簧松開。換句話說，離合器吸收這些發(fā)動機振動，防止振動影響到驅(qū)動齒輪 操縱機構(gòu)這些部份是用來釋放離合器盤壓力。操縱機構(gòu)包括有離合器踏板，離合器回位

51、彈簧，離合器聯(lián)動裝置，分離叉和分離軸承。離合器聯(lián)動裝置包括離合器踏板和機械的或液壓系統(tǒng)用來聯(lián)動另外的操縱機構(gòu)。當離合器踏板被踩下的時候，離合器聯(lián)動裝置操縱著分離叉。分離叉，或者叫釋放叉，使分離軸承反向于壓力盤的分離杠桿移動。然后這些杠桿壓縮彈簧將飛輪和離合器盤緊緊地撐開。此時，發(fā)動機的轉(zhuǎn)矩還不能夠帶動變速器傳動軸。變速器檔位可能會因此加高或者導致車輛停止。當離合器踏板被松開的時候，壓力盤強制性的將飛輪與離合器盤分開。在離合器回位彈簧的幫助下踏板逐漸的升起。D 離合器功用離合器的主要部份在正常的服務(wù)期間不需要維護或者是潤滑。然而，所有的聯(lián)動裝置部份在接點處是需要潤滑的。聯(lián)動裝置本身需要一定的調(diào)整

52、從而避免發(fā)生與離合器盤的磨損。自由行程調(diào)整你只能在離合器聯(lián)動裝置上作一個調(diào)整自由行程的調(diào)整。自由行程是存在于離合器盤分離杠桿和分離軸承中允許的空間里的一段行程。這個空間是非常重要的，因為它能抵制杠桿上的壓力從而組織離合器的嚙合。換句話說，分離軸承些微地離開壓力盤杠桿使軸承不產(chǎn)生作用于杠桿的壓力。另一方面，在軸承和杠桿之間又不能有太多的自由行程。如果有太多的間隙，即使當駕駛員將離合器踏板踩死，離合器也不能夠完全的起到分離作用。在大部份的情形下，你應該在離合器踏板上測量自由行程，而不是在外殼。在踏板遇到阻力之前，在剛踩下踏板的時候，自由行程允許一些移動發(fā)生。當距離隨著壓力盤的類型的改變而改變時，核

53、對服務(wù)手冊來確定自由行程。通常自由行程應該是大約 20 到 25 毫米。 在由穿杠和鎖緊螺母組成的離合器聯(lián)動裝置的地方自由行程可以被調(diào)整。最接近分離叉的竿是最常用的調(diào)整點。從在車輛之下尋找竿和鎖緊螺母的位置開始。然后決定選一種調(diào)整螺母的方法來獲得正確的踏板自由行程。如果它仍然有一些移動，你能通過移動分離叉來粗糙估計一個自由行程。調(diào)整的最好方式是松開鎖緊螺母并且旋轉(zhuǎn)螺帽。然后在踏板上核查自由行程。繼續(xù)這樣調(diào)整下去，直到你獲得正確的自由行程。當自由行程調(diào)整到制造廠的規(guī)格時，勒緊鎖緊螺母。 每六個月檢查自由行程并且作一些調(diào)整。離合器需要時常調(diào)整，因為自由行程會些微地減少比如與離合器盤的磨損。然而，頻繁的調(diào)整那就意味著離合器機構(gòu)本身已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)問題了。在分離軸承和壓力盤分離杠桿之間一定有自由行程。而毛病可能起因于對離合器的“消遣”。駕駛員將一支腳擱在離合器踏板上使分離軸承與離合器分離杠桿產(chǎn)生摩擦。如此結(jié)果，分離軸承磨損的越來越快。同時由于部份裝置沒有完全嚙合，因此離合器盤也因為滑動而被磨損。 離合器故障下列各項是主要的故障:打滑 表面附者不充分造成從動片回轉(zhuǎn)的比發(fā)動機飛輪更慢：離合器很熱而且發(fā)出氣味。自轉(zhuǎn)或咬
