  • the device for damping vibrations is arranged essentially in the area of a plane or slightly offset from one another with the hydrodynamic coupling.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a starting unit of the type mentioned at the outset, comprising a hydrodynamic clutch and a lock-up clutch which are connected in parallel, in such a way that it is characterized by a small space requirement in the axial direction and a small number of components.
  • the design effort should be kept as low as possible.
  • the starting unit comprises an input that can be coupled to an drive and an output that can be coupled to an output.
  • a so-called impeller shell is assigned to the impeller, which is connected to it in a rotationally fixed manner and encloses the turbine impeller in the axial direction.
  • the pump wheel shell can be made in one piece with the pump wheel, but preferably multi-part designs are used, the non-rotatable connection being made via corresponding connecting elements or other coupling options.

  • the clutch disks are assigned means for generating a contact pressure and thus for generating an at least indirect frictional connection between the first clutch disk and the second clutch disk.
  • the solution according to the invention enables a starting unit to be designed with very little installation space in the axial direction, since here already existing components are simultaneously entrusted with the takeover of the function of the other element.
  • the means for generating a contact pressure comprise at least one piston element which can be pressurized with pressure medium. This can be assigned separately to the clutch discs. In a particularly compact and thus advantageous embodiment, however, the turbine wheel is used as a piston element.

  • the turbine wheel can be axially displaced in a range of 0.1 to 2 mm.
  • a counterforce is required when the turbine wheel is axially displaceable, which fixes the position of the turbine wheel in relation to the pump impeller wheel.
  • this counterforce is generated by equipment supplied to the work space, which is guided along the outer circumference of the turbine wheel between the individual clutch disks of the lock-up clutch in the area of the parting plane between the pump wheel and turbine wheel in the area of the outer diameter of the toroidal work space and is introduced into the pump wheel from there , Usually both clutch disks are close to each other.

  • the design of the hydrodynamic coupling is a fluid coupling, that is, a component which, when transmitting power between an input and an output, only permits a speed change, ie is free of a change in the torque compared to a converter and is therefore necessarily coupled to the speed.
  • These can be regulated or unregulated.
  • regulated Hydrodynamic couplings are couplings in which the degree of filling can be changed during operation between full filling and emptying, whereby the power consumption and thus the transmission capacity of the coupling can be adjusted and, when used in vehicles, a stepless load-dependent speed control of the drive machine and / or output side is made possible.
  • the hydrodynamic clutch can be designed as a clutch with a toroidal working space, which is formed by a primary blade wheel functioning as a pump wheel and a secondary blade wheel functioning as a turbine wheel, or as a so-called double clutch, ie with two toroidal working spaces formed by the primary blade wheel and secondary blade wheel.
