Description
- This claims the benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/876,843, filed on Sep. 12, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- The present disclosure relates generally to torque converters and more specifically to impellers of torque converters.
- U.S. Pub. 2012/0151907 discloses method of connecting an impeller hub and impeller shell.
- An impeller for a torque converter is provided. The impeller includes an impeller shell including an inner circumference, an outer circumference and a radial extension extending radially outward from the inner circumference. The radial extension includes an axially extending groove formed therein. The impeller also includes an impeller hub welded to the impeller shell by a weld. The weld is radially inside of the axially extending groove. The axially extending groove is 5 to 10 millimeters from the weld.
- A method of forming an impeller for a torque converter is provided. The method includes providing an impeller shell including an inner circumference, an outer circumference and a radial extension extending radially outward from the inner circumference; forming an axially extending groove in the radial extension; and welding an impeller hub to the impeller shell so as to form a weld on a back surface of the radial extension. The weld is radially inside of the axially extending groove and the axially extending groove is 5 to 10 millimeters from the weld.
- The present invention is described below by reference to the following drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional side view of a torque converter including an impeller in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 a shows a cross-sectional side view of an impeller shell of the impeller; -
FIG. 2 b shows an enlarged view of a radial extension of the impeller shell as shown in the cross-sectional side view shown inFIG. 2 a; -
FIG. 2 c shows a perspective view of a back surface of the impeller; -
FIG. 3 a shows a cross-sectional side view of the impeller after a front surface of impeller shell has been thinned; and -
FIG. 3 b shows an enlarged view of the radial extension of the impeller shell as shown in the cross-sectional side view shown inFIG. 3 a. - One embodiment of the present invention includes an impeller shell having a particular radius formed therein that is then machined to create a flexible thinned section. Testing has shown that adding flexibility to the impeller shell may improve durability of the impeller hub weld. The impeller shell is thinned by machining the back side of the radius to form a bearing surface.

FIG. 2 a shows a cross-sectional side view ofimpeller shell 20.Impeller shell 20 includes aninner circumference 28, anouter circumference 30 and aradial extension 32 extending radially frominner circumference 28.Impeller shell 20 includes arounded portion 34 radially outside ofradial extension 32. Roundedportion 34 is configured for supporting impeller blades 36 (FIGS. 1 and 3 a) and includes a plurality ofslots 38 formed therein for receiving blade tabs ofimpeller blades 36.Impeller shell 20 includes anaxial extension 40 radially outside ofrounded portion 34 for connecting to front cover 16 (FIG. 1 ). An outer radial surface ofaxial extension 40 definesouter circumference 30. -
FIG. 2 b shows an enlarged view ofradial extension 32 as shown in the cross-sectional side view shown inFIG. 2 a.Radial extension 32 has an axially extendinggroove 42 formed in aback surface 43 ofimpeller shell 20 for adding flexibility toimpeller shell 20. Axially extendinggroove 42 also extends circumferentially. In this preferred embodiment, axially extendinggroove 42 is formed during the stamping ofimpeller shell 20. In other embodiments, axially extendinggroove 42 may be machined or stamping intoimpeller shell 20 afterimpeller shell 20 has been formed by stamping.Radial extension 32 is substantially plate shaped and includes a flat innerradial portion 44 for connecting to an impeller hub 46 (FIG. 3 a). An inner radial surface of flat innerradial portion 44 definesinner circumference 28. Radially outward from flat innerradial portion 44,radial extension 32 protrudes slightly axially inward to form anintermediate portion 46.Intermediate portion 46 is substantially flat, except for axially extendinggroove 42 and anaxial protrusion 48 on afront surface 50 ofimpeller shell 20 formed by material displaced during the stamping of axially extendinggroove 42.
