The plurality of first friction plates T222 and the plurality of second friction plates T212 are alternately arranged in the axial direction.
The clutch limiting device comprises a supporting main body T271 fixedly connected with the shell H; the support body T271 has a circular ring structure for limiting the axial positions of the first friction plate T222 and the second friction plate T212;
the self-locking/overrunning control device is used for controlling the engagement and the disengagement of the first friction plate T222 and the second friction plate T212 and comprises a first helical surface coupling part T23 and a second helical surface coupling part T24. A plurality of first helicoids T231 are arranged on the matching surface of the first helicoid matching part T23; a plurality of second helicoids T241 matched with the first helicoids T231 are arranged on the matching surface of the second helicoid matching part T24; the direction of rotation of the first and second helical surfaces T231, T241 is related to the direction in which the clutch transmits torque:
referring to fig. 3a, when a torque is applied to the second force transmission hub T211, and the second force transmission hub T211 tends to rotate clockwise relative to the support body T271 under the action of the torque, when the first helical surface T231 and the second helical surface T241 rotate clockwise, the overrunning clutch is in an overrunning state under the action of the torque; if the first and second spiral surfaces T231 and T241 are rotated left, the overrunning clutch is in a locked state under the action of the torque, and the torque on the second force transmission hub T211 is transmitted to the support main body through the second friction plate T212, the first friction plate T222, the first force transmission drum T221 fixedly connected with the second spiral surface coupling member T24, and the first spiral surface coupling member T23.

when the sealed oil chamber CYL is filled with oil, the hydraulic thrust overcomes the spring force of the spring T25 to press the piston T26 to the friction plate, and the clutch B is an overrunning clutch and a multi-plate wet clutch in an engaging state: when the clutch accords with the overrunning condition, the clutch enters the overrunning working condition, and transmits torque even under the overrunning working condition, the magnitude of the transmitted torque is the same as that of a multi-plate wet clutch, and the transmitted torque = positive pressure on a friction surface multiplied by an equivalent friction coefficient; when the clutch is in line with the locking condition, the clutch enters the locking working condition, when the transmitted torque is large enough, the friction force between the friction plates forms friction torque to drive the second spiral surface coupling piece T24 to further rotate towards the locking direction, even if the piston T26 is pressed back to the pressure relief position of the oil cylinder CYL, at the moment, even if the oil cylinder is depressurized, the spring T25 cannot press back the second spiral surface coupling piece T24, and the limit value of the transmitted torque is the strength limit of the part.
When the sealed oil chamber CYL releases the pressure, the first spiral surface coupling piece T23 and the second spiral surface coupling piece T24 are in an unlocking state, the piston T26 returns by the spring force of the spring T25, namely, the piston T26 moves towards the direction far away from the friction plate, the clutch B is in a separation state at the moment, and the torques are not transmitted in two rotation directions.

The second helicoid matching part T24 is fixedly connected with a second force transmission hub T211; the second helicoidal couple T24 is located in the space formed by the second force-transmitting hub T211, the support body T271 and the first helicoidal couple T23.
The support body T271 and the first power transmission drum T221 serve as two power transmission ends of the clutch, respectively.
The additional clutch control device comprises an annular control oil cylinder arranged on the first force transmission drum T221;
the annular control oil cylinder comprises a cylinder body T29, a connecting main body T30 and a pressure plate T28 arranged between the cylinder body T29 and the connecting main body T30; the connecting main body T30 is fixedly connected with the shell H; the cross section of the platen T28 is approximately U-shaped;
a plurality of springs T25 are arranged between the bottom end face of the pressure plate T28 and the connecting main body T30;

the other top end surface of the pressure plate T28 is used for pressing the friction plates.
The working principle is as follows:
when the seal oil chamber CYL is filled with oil, the hydraulic thrust overcomes the spring force of a plurality of springs T25 to enable the pressure plate T28 to be separated from the friction plate, and the clutch B is an overrunning clutch: when the overrunning condition is met, the clutch enters the overrunning working condition, and when the locking condition is met, the clutch enters the locking working condition.
When the sealed oil chamber CYL releases the pressure, the spring force of the spring T25 returns the piston T26, the pressure plate T28 presses to the friction plate, and the clutch B plays the roles of an overrunning clutch and a common clutch according to the torque transmission direction: when the direction of the transmission torque meets the condition of entering an overrunning state, the clutch B acts as a common clutch, and the transmission torque of the clutch B depends on the total spring force of the spring T25; when the direction of the transmitted torque accords with the condition of entering a locking state, the clutch B enters a locking working condition and plays the role of an overrunning clutch.

By modifying the structure of fig. 5, all the components are changed into a structure uniformly arranged along the circumference, and the combination of the overrunning clutch and the multi-plate wet clutch (i.e. the friction-plate peripheral helical surface outer/inner pressing overrunning clutch) shown in fig. 3 is changed.

For the lockup regime, the "average helix angle β" for the critical state is found using the following equation:
f=μ×N
f'=μ'×S
2(n-1)f+f-f'cosβ-Ssinβ=0
N-f'sinβ-Scosβ=0

N-f'sinβ-Scosβ=0
therefore, not only the spiral surface coupling parts of the friction plate type peripheral cloth spiral surface external/internal pressing overrunning clutch are enabled to generate self locking, but also the automatic unlocking of the spiral surface coupling parts can be ensured, and the following conditions are met:
the following description of the present invention will be given by way of example to enable smooth torque transition during shifting.
The embodiment is as follows: the structure and parameters of the transmission are as follows:
.i
1 >1 is a speed reducer;
the direction of rotation of the input and input gears is clockwise (as viewed from the input to the output);
the clutch B adopts an overrunning clutch, the locking direction is anticlockwise, and the overrunning direction is clockwise: when the rotating direction of the rotating component relative to the fixed component is clockwise, the overrunning clutch is in an overrunning state; when the rotating direction of the rotating component relative to the fixed component is anticlockwise, the overrunning clutch is in a locking state.
The C clutch adopts a plurality of wet clutches (the arrangement position is close to the input end), a driving assembly and a friction plate of the C clutch are connected with the input shaft to rotate synchronously, and a driven assembly and a friction plate thereof are connected with a gear mechanism retainer to rotate synchronously.
For convenience of description, the initial operating conditions are firstly set as follows: the clutch B is in a locking state, the clutch C is in a releasing state, and the transmitted friction torque M C =0, with a transmission ratio i, the torque relationship is:
M input device =M 11
M Output of =i*M 11
M Output of =M Input device +M B
In the formula
M Input device -torque transmitted by the input;
M output of -torque delivered by the output;
M 11 torque transmitted on the input gear T11;
M B torque transmitted by the B clutch (overrunning clutch);
M C torque transmitted by the C clutch (multi-plate wet clutch);
when gear shifting is required, the C clutch begins to be slowly engaged, and the transmitted friction torque M C From small to maximum, the torque relationship during engagement is:
M input device -M C =M 11
M Output of =i*M 11
M Output the output =M Input device +M B
First, when M C When the value is not less than 0, the reaction time is not less than 0,
M output the output =i*M Input device ,
M B =(i-1)*M Input device
Namely the initial working condition;
II, as M C When maximum torque is transmitted, i.e.
M B =0;
M Output of =M Input device ,
At the moment, M is solved according to the torque relation in the gear shifting process C The maximum torque transmitted is:
M C =(1-1/i)M input the method
Therefore, when M is
C By
M
Input the method When changed, the output torque is changed>
On change, a gear is selected from the gear having the gear ratio i>
The gear with the transmission ratio of 1 is adopted, so that smooth transition of the gear shifting process is realized.
In addition, the double-clutch structure is adopted, so that one clutch is separated while the other clutch is synchronously engaged during gear shifting, and uninterrupted power can be realized in the gear shifting process. When one of the double clutches is an overrunning clutch and the other one is a common clutch, only the common clutch needs to be controlled, the state of the overrunning clutch can change along with the common clutch, and the control is simple and convenient.
