Description:CLUTCH PROTECTION SYSTEM
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] This invention generally relates to a field of a protection system, and in particular, to a clutch protection system for an air conditioning (AC) compressor of a vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] Air conditioning (AC) compressors are critical components in automotive climate control systems, ensuring effective cooling performance for passenger comfort. The AC compressors are typically driven by engine through a belt-and-pulley mecha , Claims:We Claim:
1. A clutch protection system (100) for an air conditioning (AC) compressor (110) of a vehicle, comprising:
a clutch disc assembly (102) operationally coupled with the AC compressor (110), wherein the clutch disc assembly (102) comprising:
at least one clutch plate (104) coupled with a compressor input shaft of the AC compressor (110),
at least one pulley (106) rotatably housed around the compressor input shaft, wherein the at least one pulley (106) is configured to receive rotational power from an engine of the vehicle, via at least one belt drive,
at least one electromagnetic (EM) coil (108) operationally coupled with the AC compressor (110),
wherein the at least one EM coil (108) is configured to generate a magnetic field upon activation, thereby pulling and engaging the at least one clutch plate (104) with the at least one pulley (106) to engage the AC compressor (110) with the engine of the vehicle,
at least one friction liner (200) disposed between the at least one pulley (106) and the at leas
