摘要:
A planetary gear transmission having at least two different gearing diameters, the pinions of which are journalled independently of each other so that they can have a large gear ratio step between them; and a multi-speed transmission including first and second planetary gear sets, the second of which sets is the planetary gear transmission having the two different gearing diameters journalled independently of each other. In the multi-speed transmission, the gear ratio steps of the second planetary gear set each exceed the highest gear ratio of the first planetary gear set.

For a torque converter transmission, a valve arranged to control the flow of fluid therein. Flow between five axially spaced apart ports, and in particular from a central port to a pair of adjacent control ports and from the control ports to respective adjacent vent ports is controlled by axially spaced apart disc valve elements operatively associated with one or more axially movable elongated members, each disc element being axially movable against a mating valve seat. The valve may control flow to the working chamber of the torque converter or serve other functions such as controlling the mode of operation of the torque converter.

The invention described in this specification relates to a hydrodynamic torque converter transmission of the type including two or more torque converter units connected in parallel between the input and output shafts and provided with means for interrupting the torque transfer through one or more of said units. One or more torque converters in the transmission is or are arranged with one bladed component thereof such as the pump or turbine blades selectively releasable from or engageable with an input shaft or an output shaft respectively whereby different driving conditions are obtained by engaging and disengaging the drive through different torque converters.

A control system is provided for connecting and disconnecting the block up clutch in a hydrodynamic torque converter for a prime mover. The system includes a first means for deriving a signal representative of the input speed of the prime mover, a second means for deriving signal representative the torque setting of the prime mover, and a comparator for comparing the signals and controlling the setting in accordance with that comparison. An output stage includes a relay responsive to the output of the comparator. A number of different embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A transmission having a double rotation torque converter and including a central assembly in which is mounted both a first brake for securing the torque converter guide ring against rotation and a second brake which cooperates with a planetary gear to cause rotation of the guide ring oppositely from the turbine ring of the torque converter. The two brakes and at least part of the planetary gear are mounted in the central assembly. The guide shaft extending axially from the guide ring is radially journalled in the central assembly. The transmission also includes a fluid communication system which, in cooperation with a pump, controls the mode of operation of the torque converter. The pump and most of the fluid system passageways may also be located within the central assembly. The torque converter may include a releasable torque transmitting member and the transmission may include further gearing stages downstream from the torque converter and the central assembly.
摘要:
A torque converter of the type having a rotating casing connectable to a driving source and forming a working chamber. In the casing is a pump part comprising a ring of pump blades, a reaction part comprising a ring of guide blades and a turbine part including at least one ring of turbine blades. The pump part is mounted to be selectively connected to the casing for rotation therewith or released from the casing to rotate freely relative thereto. The selectable connection between the pump part and the casing may be a friction coupling such as engaging conical friction surfaces or a friction disc coupling. The pump part itself may serve as a piston for engaging or disengaging the pump part with the casing. Movement of this pump part may also control a direct drive connection between the casing and the turbine shaft. A forward reverse gear and/or a synchromesh gear may be connected to the turbine shaft.
摘要:
A heat exchanger especially adapted for use in combination with a transmission such as a hydraulic torque converter. A plurality of generally flat cooling cells are stacked upon each other, each cell including a pair of plates sealed together about their outer periphery and forming therebetween a fluid flow space. Each cell includes a separate inlet opening and outlet opening passing completely therethrough in a direction perpendicular to the direction of stacking. In the stack, all of the inlet holes communicate with each other to form the inlet while all of the outlet holes communicate with each other to form the outlet. A sealing device encircles each opening in each space between the cells. The sealing means can include a pair of concentric rings between which an opening can be provided through the cells without communicating with the interior thereof, for draining leaking fluid to atmosphere. The individual cells are of the same shape so that any selected number thereof can be utilized depending on the desired capacity of the heat exchanger. Within the cells, a spacing structure surrounding each opening spaces the plates apart providing both a space for fluid flow therepast between the opening and the cell interior and a leakage flow path therethrough which does not communicate with the cell interior. The spacing structure may be a separate member. Alternatively, in one arrangement wherein the cells are formed only by two plates appropriately stamped out and mated together, the stamping can include shaping to form the spacing structure.
摘要:
A rotatable driving connection between driving and driven parts of the type having abutments in one part engaging radially extending slots in the other part, the abutments preferably being arranged in groups so that the resultant of the forces in one group is perpendicular to the resultant of the forces in the other group. A metallic strip between the opposed abutment and slot surfaces on the drive side is resiliently bent so that it is relatively stiff and engages both the abutment and slot surfaces and is such that it flattens to increase its stiffness upon an increase in the driving load. The metallic strip between the other side of the abutment and its slot surface, which is preferably an integral extension of the strip on the drive side of the abutment, is more resilient than the strip on the drive side of the abutment and is arranged to normally urge its respective abutment and slot surfaces apart causing the drive side abutment/slot surfaces to engage their respective metallic strip, and concurrently preventing backlash and maintaining contact between the later abutment/slot surfaces indirectly via the strip to the opposite side of the abutment and through the abutment to the last said abutment surface.
摘要:
A transmission of the type having a rotating casing, a stationary housing and a chamber including a pump part, a guide part and a turbine part. Brakes are provided for connecting the guide part to the turbine for rotation therewith or to the stationary housing. Independent radial and axial bearings are provided between the said parts of the torque converter allowing radial displacement within the clearance of the radial bearing independent of the axial force on the axial bearing.
摘要:
A rotatable driving connection in which a plurality of abutments on one rotating part engage corresponding generally radial slots on the other rotating part with resilient material between each abutment and the contacting surfaces of its respective slot. The abutments are arranged in pairs of groups, the resultant of the forces of one group being perpendicular to the resultant of the other group. A leaf spring may be associated with each abutment to maintain contact between the resilient material and the walls of the slot and to prevent backlash. The area of contact between the resilient material and the walls of the slot varies in relation to the force transmitted by the connection.
