Study on Energy Optimization of Clutch Based on Energy Design Factor

Abstract:

The green design of products is highly beneficial in the alleviation of environment burdens. During the product lifecycle, energy-consumption is one of the main roots of environmental pollution. Therefore, energy optimization for green design is an important path to reduce the environmental pollution. Sequentially, the concept of the energy design factor was presented, which was applied in the energy-optimizing design of the mechanical product in the use stage. Based on the analysis of function in the use age of products, the energy consumption information of products was extracted. During the use stage of products, the energy-consuming model was established. Then the energy design factors was extracted and applied to the energy optimization design of products. Finally, the model and method in the paper were validated by a case of motorcycle’s clutch.
