Abstract

A crank pulley decoupling device includes: a crank pulley connected to one end of a crankshaft and configured to transmit a rotational force; a first spring configured to be inserted into the crank pulley and to have one end provided in the crank pulley and the other end provided in the crank shaft; and a second spring configured to be inserted into the crank pulley and to be provided on an outer circumferential surface of the crankshaft. Spring design and design change are freely done by utilizing space in the crank pulley while the first and second springs are spaced apart so that impact therebetween is reduced, thereby improving durability and preventing decrease in efficiency due to friction and thus improving the product value.

Claims (8)

1. A crank pulley decoupling device, comprising:

a crank pulley connected to one end of a crankshaft and configured to transmit a rotational force;

a first spring inserted into the crank pulley and to have one end disposed in the crank pulley and an opposing end disposed in the crank shaft; and

a second spring inserted into the crank pulley and disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the crankshaft.

2. The crank pulley decoupling device according to claim 1 , wherein the first spring is a torsion spring and the second spring is an arc spring.

3. The crank pulley decoupling device according to claim 1 , wherein the first spring is mounted in an axial direction of the crankshaft and the second spring is mounted in a circumferential direction of the crankshaft.

4. The crank pulley decoupling device according to claim 1 , wherein the first spring and the second spring are spaced apart from each other.

5. The crank pulley decoupling device according to claim 1 , wherein the crank pulley has an enlarged inner diameter of an opening through which the crankshaft is inserted to receive the second spring.
