FLUID DRIVING DEVICE, MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND CENTRIFUGAL FRICTION CLUTCH THEREOF
A centrifugal friction clutch includes a centrifugal part comprising a sleeve ring with centrifugal plates disposed thereon. A connecting member is attached around the centrifugal part. When the centrifugal part rotates with the rotary shaft, free ends of the centrifugal plates flare radially outwardly and abut against the connecting member, to cause the connecting member to rotate by a frictional force raised between the centrifugal part and the connecting member.
1 . A centrifugal friction clutch comprising:
a centrifugal part comprising a sleeve ring to be fixed on the rotary shaft and a plurality of centrifugal plates extending from the sleeve ring, distal ends of the centrifugal plates being free ends; and
a connecting member for connecting to a load attached around an outer side of the centrifugal part, wherein when the centrifugal part rotates along with the rotary shaft, the free ends of the centrifugal plates flare radially outwardly and abut against the connecting member, to cause the connecting member to rotate by a frictional force raised between the centrifugal part and the connecting member.
2 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 1 , further comprising a positioning member for axially positioning the connecting member.
3 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 2 , wherein the positioning member comprises a positioning shaft sleeve to be fixed on the rotary shaft and a first stop plate fixedly connected with the positioning shaft sleeve.
4 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 3 , wherein the positioning member further comprises a second stop plate disposed at one end of the connecting member away from the first stop plate and to be fixed on the rotary shaft.
5 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 4 , wherein the positioning member further comprises a positioning ring fixed connected with the second stop plate, and an outer surface of the positioning ring contacts the inner surface of the centrifugal plate.
6 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 5 , wherein the second stop plate and the positioning ring are integrally formed.
7 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 3 , wherein the centrifugal part is fixedly disposed on the positioning shaft sleeve.
8 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 3 , wherein the positioning shaft sleeve and the first stop plate are integrally formed.
9 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 3 , wherein an inner hole of the connecting member is a stepped hole, the centrifugal part is disposed in a large-diameter hole of the stepped hole, and a step end face of the stepped hole contacts and positions an end face of the centrifugal part away from the first stop plate.
10 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 9 , wherein a positioning pressing block is disposed inside the centrifugal plates of the centrifugal part, one end face of the positioning pressing block contacts the step end face of the stepped hole, and the other end face of the positioning pressing block contacts an end face of the sleeve ring that connects the centrifugal plates.
11 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 1 , wherein the centrifugal plates are evenly arranged on the sleeve ring.
12 . The centrifugal friction clutch of claim 1 , wherein a groove is formed at a joint between the centrifugal plate and the sleeve ring.
13 . A motor assembly comprising a single phase motor and a centrifugal friction clutch according to claim 1 .
14 . A fluid driving device comprising an impeller and a motor assembly according to claim 13 .
15 . The fluid driving device of claim 14 , wherein the motor assembly further comprises a position-limiting member disposed on the rotary shaft of the motor to limit axial movement of the impeller, and the position-limiting member is disposed at one side of the centrifugal friction clutch opposite from the motor.
16 . The fluid driving device of claim 14 , wherein the fluid driving device is a blower.
