HYDRAULIC TORQUE CONVERTER-MODERATOR Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: hydraulic torque converter has circulation circle with active diameter D_a, which is contained between outer 1 and inner 2 torus rings, also has consecutively mounted spade portions of pumping 3, braking 6, turbine 4, reactor 5 and another braking 6 wheels, freely moveable roller sleeve 7, clutch 8 for blocking pumping and turbine wheels, mechanical brake 9, inlet 10 and outlet 11 hydraulic lines, input 12 and output 13 shafts. In the area of inner torus 2, auxiliary circulation circle with active diameter of D_a1 is placed in hydraulic connection with main circulation circle, one half of which is located in braking wheel 6, and another - in pumping wheel 3, and in each of said halves flat spades are mounted and rigidly connected to braking 6 and pumping 3 wheels respectively. EFFECT: increased braking power of hydraulic torque converter-moderator while keeping its traction characteristic. 4 cl, 5 dwg
