- the lockup device 6 When the number of revolutions of the input shaft reaches a certain number of revolutions, the lockup device 6 is turned on, and power is mechanically transmitted from the front cover 2 to the turbine hub 10 via the lockup device 6. Specifically, the piston 15 is moved to the engine side by the change of the hydraulic pressure, and the friction material 18 of the piston 15 is pressed against the front cover 2. As a result, the piston 15 rotates integrally with the front cover 2, and power is transmitted from the front cover 2 to the turbine hub 10 via the piston 15, the first torsion spring 17, and the dynamic damper device 16.
- the difference between the characteristics E2 and E3 in the low rotation speed region is caused by the magnitude of the hysteresis torque in the hysteresis torque generating mechanism 26. That is, the characteristic E2 is a case where the hysteresis torque is relatively large, and the characteristic E3 is a case where the hysteresis torque is relatively small.
- the rotational speed fluctuation of the turbine becomes smaller near the rotational speed lower than 1200 rpm, becomes maximum near 1500 rpm, and becomes smaller gradually in the higher rotational speed range.
- the rotational speed fluctuation of the turbine exhibits a minimum value smaller than the characteristic E2 when the engine speed exceeds 1200 rpm, and becomes maximum beyond the characteristic E2 near 1600 rpm.
- the rotational speed fluctuation of the turbine is smaller when the hysteresis torque is smaller in the engine speed range where the engine speed is low, and smaller when the hysteresis torque is larger in the intermediate engine speed range. Moreover, in the high rotation speed region, the influence on the turbine rotational speed fluctuation due to the magnitude of the hysteresis torque is small.
- the hysteresis torque generation mechanism 26 is configured to change the hysteresis torque depending on the rotational speed range. Specifically, the hysteresis torque generated by the hysteresis torque generating mechanism 26 is small in the region where the engine rotational speed is low and is large in the intermediate and high rotational number regions.
- the centrifugal force f1 acting on the slider 36 is relatively small. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15A, the slider 36 is urged radially inward by the urging force f2 of the spring 37, and the outer peripheral surface of the slider 36 is in contact with the inner peripheral end surface of the hub flange 23. Absent. Therefore, the hysteresis torque is relatively small. That is, it is only the hysteresis torque by the friction of each part.
- the characteristic of turbine rotational speed fluctuation is characteristic E3 in the low rotation speed region and characteristic E2 in the medium rotation number region to high rotation number region, as shown in FIG. For this reason, turbine rotational speed fluctuation can be suppressed small in the entire engine speed range.
- the slider 36 is swung about the support projection 36a and pressed against the contact portion 28a of the second plate 22 to be used as a fulcrum, and in the lever principle, the slider 36 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the hub flange 23 As it is strongly pressed, a large hysteresis torque can be generated with a simple mechanism.
- the configuration of the hysteresis torque generation mechanism is not limited to the above embodiment. Any configuration may be used as long as the hysteresis torque generated varies with the rotational speed range.
- the torque converter is described as an example of the fluid power transmission device, but the fluid power transmission device may be a fluid coupling that does not have a stator.
- FIG. 16 Another embodiment of the pressing mechanism for swinging the slider to generate a large hysteresis torque is shown in FIG. 16 and FIG.
- the slider 36 ' has a support recess 36a' instead of the support protrusion 36a in the previous embodiment.

- the front end surface of the support protrusion 10 d ′ is formed in an arc shape along the arc surface of the support recess 36 a ′.
- the slider 36 '' has a support recess 36a '' in basically the same configuration as the embodiment shown in FIG.
- an arc-shaped support recess 10 d ′ ′ is formed to be recessed on the inner peripheral side. Then, the roller 50 is fitted into the support recesses 36 a ′ ′ and 10 d ′ ′.
- the lockup rotational speed can be set to a lower rotational speed, and moreover, the turbine rotational fluctuation can be suppressed in a wide rotational speed range. Therefore, low fuel consumption can be realized. Also, the mechanism for generating variable hysteresis torque can be realized with a simple configuration and without increasing the axial dimension.
Abstract
Description
図1に、本発明の一実施形態による流体式動力伝達装置としてのトルクコンバータを示す。図1の左側にはエンジンが配置され、図1の右側にはトランスミッションが配置されている。図1に示す線O-Oはトルクコンバータの回転軸線である。なお、トルクコンバータの本体部分については、一部を省略して示している。
図2にロックアップ装置6を取り出して示している。ロックアップ装置6は、エンジン回転数が所定の回転数(ロックアップ回転数)に到達したときに、フロントカバー2とタービン4とを機械的に連結するための装置であり、図1に示すようにフロントカバー2とタービン4との間に配置されている。このロックアップ装置6は、ピストン15と、ダイナミックダンパ装置16と、複数の第1トーションスプリング17と、を有している。
ピストン15は、内周部にエンジン側に折り曲げられて形成された筒状部15aを有している。そして、この筒状部15aが、タービンハブ10の筒状部10aの外周面に、軸方向及び回転方向に摺動自在に支持されている。また、ピストン15の外周部15bには、フロントカバー2の側面に押し付けられる環状の摩擦部材18が固定されている。
ダイナミックダンパ装置16は、第1プレート21及び第2プレート22と、ハブフランジ23と、イナーシャ部材24と、複数の第2トーションスプリング25と、ヒステリシストルク発生機構26と、を有している。
図3に第1プレート21の断面図を示し、図4に図3をIV方向から視た場合の一部を示している。
ハブフランジ23は、図10及び図10をXI方向から視た図11に示すように、中心部の孔23aを有する円板状の部材である。ハブフランジ23の外周端部には環状のイナーシャ部材24がリベット34により固定されている。また、ハブフランジ23において、イナーシャ部材24が装着された部分の内周側には、円弧状の6つの長孔23cが形成され、さらにその内周側には6つの収納部23dが形成されている。長孔23cにはストップピン34の胴部が貫通している。したがって、ハブフランジ23は、長孔23cが形成された角度範囲で、第1及び第2プレート21,22に対して相対回転が可能である。また、各収納部23dは両プレート21,22の収納部21d,22dと同じ位置に形成されており、この収納部23dに第2トーションスプリング25が収納されている。
ヒステリシストルク発生機構26は、軸方向においては第1プレート21と第2プレート22との間に配置され、径方向においてはハブフランジ23の内周側に配置されている。このヒステリシストルク発生機構26は、第1及び第2プレート21,22とハブフランジ23との間で可変のヒステリシストルクを発生するものである。
複数の第1トーションスプリング17は、図1及び図2に示すように、ピストン15に固定されたドライブプレート40と第1プレート21とを回転方向に弾性的に連結するための部材である。なお、複数の第1トーションスプリング17の外周部及びトランスミッション側の側部を覆うように、中間部材42が設けられている。複数の第1トーションスプリング17は、ピストン15及び中間部材42によって軸方向及び径方向の移動が規制されている。
まず、トルクコンバータ本体の動作について簡単に説明する。
ダイナミックダンパ装置16では、第1及び第2プレート21,22に入力された動力はドリブンプレート33を介してタービンハブ10に伝達される。このとき、第1及び第2プレート21,22には第2トーションスプリング25を介してハブフランジ23及びイナーシャ部材24が設けられているので、エンジンの回転変動を効果的に抑制することができる。以下。この点について詳細に説明する。
図15を用いて、回転数域によってヒステリシストルクが変化する動作について説明する。
(1)低回転数域では小さいヒステリシストルクを発生し、中回転数域から高回転数域ではより大きなヒステリシストルクを発生するので、広い回転数域でタービンの回転速度変動を抑えることができる。
本発明は以上のような実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の範囲を逸脱することなく種々の変形又は修正が可能である。
