摘要： A torque converter including a clutch assembly and a channel. The clutch assembly includes: a reverse clutch with a piston plate, the reverse clutch controllably connecting a reverse stator and a drive hub; a forward clutch including the piston plate, the forward clutch controllably connecting a turbine and the drive hub; and a cavity partially formed by the piston plate. The channel supplies fluid to the cavity and to vent fluid from the cavity and the piston plate is displaceable in response to fluid pressure in the cavity to control operation of the reverse and forward clutches. In a preferred embodiment, forces associated with operation of the reverse and forward clutches are balanced within the clutch assembly. The torque converter also includes a clutch rotationally connected to a turbine and a ground and a one-way clutch rotationally connected to a forward stator and the ground.

摘要： A torque converter including: a turbine; a first stator; a first interlocking clutch; and a second interlocking clutch. In a first operating mode, to enable rotation of the turbine in a first direction, the first clutch is for engaging with the turbine and is engageable with an input shaft of a transmission and the second clutch is for engaging with the first stator and is engageable with a fixed shaft of the transmission. In a second operating mode, to enable rotation of the first stator in a second direction, opposite the first direction, the first clutch is for engaging with the first stator and is engageable with the input shaft and the second clutch is for engaging with the turbine and is engageable with the fixed shaft.

摘要： A force transfer device with an input and an output, a hydrodynamic component, disposed between input and output, comprising at least one pump shell and one turbine shell and a device for bridging the power transfer through the hydrodynamic component, and a device for damping vibrations. The invention further relates to a drive train with such force transfer device and to a process for controlling the operation of a force transfer device in a drive train, comprising a first drive engine and an electrical machine, which can be operated at least as a generator. The invention is characterized in that an actuatable clutch device is disposed between the turbine shell and the output for decoupling the turbine shell from the output, and said clutch device is disposed in parallel with the lockup clutch. During braking operations through the electrical machine the lockup clutch and the turbine clutch are being deactivated.
