Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic clutch ( 4 ) which serves for connecting a steam engine ( 2 ) to a combustion engine ( 3 ), wherein a first shaft ( 8 ) which can be driven by the steam engine ( 2 ) and a second shaft ( 9 ) which can be driven by the internal combustion engine ( 3 ) are provided, wherein an intermediate gear ( 23 ) which is connected to the first shaft ( 8 ) and a clutch bell ( 26 ) which is at least indirectly connected to the second shaft ( 9 ) are provided, wherein a freewheel ( 27 ) is provided between the intermediate gear ( 23 ) and the clutch bell ( 26 ), which freewheel serves to transmit a rotational movement from the intermediate gear ( 23 ), which is connected to the first shaft ( 8 ), to the clutch bell ( 26 ) and permits freewheeling of the clutch bell ( 26 ) relative to the intermediate gear ( 23 ), and wherein at least one of a friction force and a positive locking can be generated between the intermediate gear ( 23 ) and the clutch bell ( 26 ) by an electromagnetic actuation force, and characterized in that the intermediate gear ( 23 ) has a conical friction surface ( 33 ), in that the clutch bell ( 26 ) has a conical friction surface ( 34 ), in that the conical friction surface ( 33 ) of the intermediate gear ( 23 ) and the conical friction surface ( 34 ) of the clutch bell ( 26 ) face toward one another, and in that the conical friction surface ( 33 ) of the intermediate gear ( 23 ) and the conical friction surface ( 34 ) of the clutch bell ( 26 ) are loaded against one another by the electromagnetic actuation force.
