To solve the problem of the too small rotational torque of a single cylindrical magnetorheological fluid clutch, a cylindrical - disc magnetorheological fluid transmission method driven by electrothermal shape memory alloy is proposed. By using the thermal driving characteristics of the shape memory alloy, the working gap of the magnetorheological fluid changes from a single cylinder to multiple working gaps of cylinder - disc, improving the transmission performance. Based on the shape memory effect, the relationship between the thrust of the electrothermal shape memory alloy and the temperature is obtained. Through the finite element analysis of the magnetic field, the magnetic field intensity and distribution of the cylindrical - disc magnetorheological fluid transmission device are obtained. Based on the Bingham model, the relationship between the transmission torque of the magnetorheological fluid and parameters such as magnetic field intensity and structural dimensions is obtained. The research results show that the torque transmitted by the cylindrical - disc magnetorheological fluid transmission device is increased by 42% compared with that transmitted by a single cylindrical magnetorheological fluid transmission device.
