20080277232 | LUBRICATION CONTROLLING METHOD FOR STARTING CLUTCH - The present invention provides a lubrication controlling method for a starting clutch including a wet type multi-plate clutch disposed between a transmission and an engine of a vehicle and adapted to transmit a power, the method comprising the steps of always supplying lubricant oil during an operation of the wet type multi-plate clutch, continuously changing a flow amount of the lubricant oil in accordance with a condition of the wet type multi-plate clutch, and controlling the amount of the lubricant oil so that a supplying amount of the lubricant oil during an idle rotation of the wet type multi-plate clutch becomes greater than a supplying amount of the lubricant oil during the complete engagement of the wet type multi-plate clutch. | 11-13-2008 |
20080296113 | CONTROLLING METHOD AND CONTROLLING APPARATUS FOR STARTING CLUTCH - The present invention provides a controlling method for a starting clutch disposed between a transmission and an engine of a vehicle and having a wet type multi-plate clutch for transmitting a power and a piston for pressing the wet type multi-plate clutch to engage the wet type multi-plate clutch, wherein, while the starting clutch is being subjected to creep control, the pressing force of the piston is controlled variably. | 12-04-2008 |
20080296121 | LUBRICATION CONTROLLING METHOD AND LUBRICATION CONTROLLING APPARATUS FOR STARTING CLUTCH OF UNIT TYPE - The present invention provides a lubrication controlling method for a starting clutch disposed between a transmission and an engine of a vehicle and having a wet type multi-plate clutch for transmitting a power, the method comprising the steps of detecting a temperature of oil in the starting clutch by means of a first temperature sensor, and controlling a flow amount of lubricant oil of the starting clutch in accordance with the temperature of the oil detected by the first temperature sensor, regardless of a running condition of the vehicle, and wherein the controlling step is performed in such a manner that, if the temperature of the oil is below a first set value, the flow amount is minimized, and, if the temperature of the oil is above a second set value, the flow amount is maximized, and, if the temperature of the oil is between the first and second set values, the flow amount of the lubricant oil is continuously changed in accordance with the temperature of the oil. | 12-04-2008 |
20090050431 | STARTING CLUTCH APPARATUS - The present invention provides a starting clutch apparatus comprising a damper device connected to an output member of an engine, a wet type multi-plate clutch housed in a housing, a piston for pressing the wet type multi-plate clutch to tighten the clutch, and an output member connected to an input shaft of an automatic transmission and wherein an output of the engine is connected to or disconnected from the input shaft of the automatic transmission by engaging or disengaging the wet type multi-plate clutch, and further wherein the damper device includes a damper output portion engaged by an outer diameter portion of the housing. | 02-26-2009 |
20090057088 | STARTING CLUTCH APPARATUS - The present invention provides a starting clutch apparatus comprising a damper device connected to an output member of an engine, a wet type multi-plate clutch housed in a housing, a piston for pressing the wet type multi-plate clutch to tighten the clutch, and an output member connected to an input shaft of an automatic transmission and wherein an output of the engine is connected to or disconnected from the input shaft of the automatic transmission by engaging or disengaging the wet type multi-plate clutch, and further wherein the housing is provided with a discharge oil path through which oil which lubricated the wet type multi-plate clutch is returned toward the automatic transmission. | 03-05-2009 |
20110088988 | ONE-WAY CLUTCH - A one-way clutch includes an outer race, an inner race which is spaced from the outer race in an inside diameter direction and arranged concentrically so as to be relatively rotatable, a plurality of engaging members which are arranged between the outer race and the inner race to transmit a torque, and a cage which retains the engaging members. The one-way clutch is provided with volute springs which urge the engaging members in the direction in which the engaging members engage with a cam face of the outer race or the inner race. | 04-21-2011 |
20130001034 | STARTING CLUTCH - The present invention provides a starting clutch disposed between a transmission and an engine and having a wet type multi-plate clutch for transmitting a power, in which the wet type multi-plate clutch includes a plurality of friction plates housed for an axial sliding movement, a clutch drum for housing the friction plates, and a piston for urging a radial central region or therearound of the friction plate to engage the friction plates, and oil which has lubricated the wet type multi-plate clutch is temporarily trapped within the clutch drum and then is discharged. | 01-03-2013 |
20140090947 | STARTING CLUTCH - The present invention provides a starting clutch disposed between a transmission and an engine and having a wet type multi-plate clutch for transmitting a power, in which the wet type multi-plate clutch includes a plurality of friction plates housed for an axial sliding movement, a clutch drum for housing the friction plates, and a piston for urging a radial central region or therearound of the friction plate to engage the friction plates, and oil which has lubricated the wet type multi-plate clutch is temporarily trapped within the clutch drum and then is discharged. | 04-03-2014 |
