    摘要: A stator of a torque converter is divided into a first stator on an upstream side and a second stator on a downstream side, and the first and second stators are supported on a fixed part via first and second one-way clutches, respectively. Since, with regard to a blade of the first stator, when viewed in the axis direction, the blade tip part is inclined relative to the blade base part in the disengagement direction of the first one-way clutch, it is possible to ensure the blade area without increasing the dimension in the radial direction and the dimension in the axis direction of the blade of the first stator, and it is possible, by smoothly guiding oil along the blade of the first stator to thus suppress the occurrence of a vortex, to reduce energy loss in a low speed ratio region where the vortex easily occurs.

    摘要: A stator for use with a torque converter includes an inner annular shell, outer annular core, a plurality of stator blades and pressure-side fluid directing projections. The plurality stator blades are disposed around the inner shell in a spaced apart configuration and radially extend to the outer core. Each stator blade includes an inlet-side edge, an opposed outlet-side edge and opposed pressure-side and suction-side surfaces extending between the inlet-side and outlet-side edges. The pressure-side fluid directing projections outwardly project from the pressure-side surface in spaced relation to each other and each extend between the inlet-side and outlet-side edges. The fluid directing projections are configured to aid in redirecting torque converter fluid returning from a turbine and reducing fluid separation as the fluid interacts with the stator blades and associated fluid directing projections thereby increasing efficiency and performance of the torque converter.

    摘要: A stator disposed between an impeller and a turbine of a torque converter including: an annular shell; an annular core disposed radially outside the shell; and a plurality of stator blades connecting the shell and the core. Each blade comprises a leading edge adjacent to the turbine, a trailing edge adjacent to the impeller, a streamlined concave surface extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and substantially facing the turbine, and a streamlined convex surface extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and substantially facing the impeller. A cross-sectional area of the stator blade increases as it approaches the shell. A predetermined gap is formed between the neighboring stator blades such that the neighboring stator blades do not overlap with one another.
