摘要:
A method for manufacturing a torque converter shell is provided to induce favorable residual stress in a direction of a loading condition to improve durability during cycle pressurization. The method includes inducing favorable residual stress on a front cover, an impeller shell, or both the front cover and the impeller shell to improve the durability of these components. The induced residual stresses reduce the stress experienced by these components during operation. The front cover and impeller shell are welded together to form the torque converter shell.

A torque converter, including: an impeller and a turbine with: a shell; and at least one blade including: a blade body with a first edge connected to the shell; and a portion extending from the blade body. The torque converter includes a stator including: a stator body, and at least one stator blade axially disposed between the impeller and the turbine and connected to the stator body. A circumferential space is formed between the turbine shell and the stator body. At least a portion of the circumferential space is radially aligned with the portion of the at least one blade.

A power transmission device includes a hydrodynamic converter. The blading of the pump wheel and/or turbine wheels includes at least one adjusting blade which can be actuated by an adjusting device, and/or at least one multi-element blade having at least one adjustable blade segment.
摘要:
A hydrodynamic converter has a working chamber through which an operating medium can flow. A pump wheel is connected to a drive shaft and a turbine wheel is connected to a driven shaft. At least one positioning blade can be adjusted by an adjustment device. In order to provide a compactly formed and robust hydrodynamic converter of this type, having a hard-wearing adjustment device for adjusting at least one positioning vane, the adjustment device includes an actuating drive with ring elements. Each ring element is disposed coaxially in relation to the drive shaft. A first ring element is connected to the at least one positioning blade for transmitting a positioning force or a positioning torque via a diverting device. The first ring element can be rotated relative to a second ring element in the circumferential direction of the drive shaft.

The present disclosure relates to a torque converter, and more particularly, to a torque converter containing a stator having blades with non-linear edges and non-ruled surfaces to increase fluid flow within the torque converter and improve the performance thereof.
摘要:
An improved torque converter impeller has a hemispherical wall with a plurality of vanes attached thereto. The improvement comprises a deflector adjacent the ends of the vanes to deflect fluid during rotation of the impeller such that the fluid is directed to the turbine vanes of the torque converter without overshooting the turbine. The deflector is preferably mounted to the inside surface of the impeller wall and extends 360°.
摘要:
A blade assembly for a torque converter including a plurality of blades installed between a shell and a core ring, where the blades are in an arrangement having asymmetrical spacing between the blades for reducing the noise generated by operation of the torque converter.
摘要:
The invention relates to a hydrodynamic torque converter having a pump shell including blades, a turbine shell including blades, a torus-shaped flow cycle. The blades are configured to be attached at the respective shells through inner walls and the inner walls of the turbine shell and of the pump shell form an inner torus with outer surfaces facing the flow cycle and an end of an extension of the inner wall of at least one shell and an end of an extension of an adjacent shell are disposed in a plane and extend over one another and define a gap between one another. A transition from the extensions is configured to be hydrodynamically smooth.
摘要:
The invention broadly comprises a torque converter including: a core ring; a turbine blade connected to the ring and having a perimeter with a segment facing an outer surface of the ring and disposed proximate the outer surface; and joining material fixedly connecting less than the entirety of the segment to the outer surface. The segment is fixedly connected to reduce resonance in the turbine. In some aspects, the ring includes an inner surface oppositely disposed from the outer surface and an open path between the surfaces. The present invention broadly comprises a notched turbine blade and a core ring with a discontinuity in an outer surface arranged to block capillary action for flowable joining material disposed in an interface between a turbine blade installed on the ring and the outer surface. The invention also broadly comprises a method for controlling resonance of a turbine in a torque converter.
