Title:
LOCKUP MECHANISM FOR HYDRAULIC POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/053280
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a lockup mechanism which is capable of preventing rotational variations over a wide rotational range on an output side even with a lockup RPM set to a low value. This lockup mechanism includes a piston (15) to be pushed against a front cover (2), an output-side unit (16) provided to be rotatable integrally with a turbine (4), and a first torsion spring (17) for elastically coupling between the piston (15) and the output-side unit (16). The output-side unit (16) has an output member (20) secured to the turbine (4), an inertia member (21) provided to be rotatable relative to the output member (20), a second torsion spring (22) for elastically coupling between the inertia member (21) and the output member (20), and a hysteresis torque producing mechanism (23). The hysteresis torque producing mechanism (23) produces variable hysteresis torque between the inertia member (21) and the output member (20).
