Title:
STATOR STRUCTURE FOR TORQUE CONVERTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/045770
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A stator (15) of a torque converter (T) is split into an upstream first stator (40) and a downstream second stator (41), the first and second stators (40, 41) being supported by an anchoring part (38) via a first and second one-way clutch (44, 48), respectively. As seen in the direction of the axis (L), a blade end of a blade (42) of the first stator (40) is inclined in a direction of unfastening of the first one-way clutch (44) with respect to the blade root; therefore, the blade area can be ensured without increasing the radial or (L)-axial dimensions of the blade (42) of the first stator (40), and oil can be smoothly guided along the blades (42) of the first stator (40) to suppress the formation of vortices. It is thereby possible to reduce energy loss in the low-speed ratio range, where vortices are prone to form.
