Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a torque converter for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a torque converter for a vehicle that sufficiently attenuates vibrations in all rotational speed ranges from a low-speed range to a high-speed range.
Generally, a torque converter is installed between a vehicle engine and a transmission to transmit the driving force of the engine to the transmission using a fluid. The torque converter includes a rotating impeller, a turbine rotated by the oil discharged from the impeller, and a reactor for increasing the torque change rate by directing the flow of the oil returning to the impeller in the rotating direction of the impeller Quot; stator ").
The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up clutch (also referred to as a "damper clutch"), which is a means for directly connecting the engine to the transmission, since the power transmission efficiency may be degraded if the load acting on the engine becomes large. A lock-up clutch is placed between the turbine and the front cover directly connected to the engine so that the rotational power of the engine can be transmitted directly to the turbine.
This lockup clutch includes a piston which is axially movable on the turbine shaft. The piston is engaged with a friction material which is in friction contact with the front cover. Further, the torque converter is combined with a torsional damper capable of absorbing impact and vibration acting in the rotating direction of the shaft when the friction material is engaged with the front cover.
However, when the lock-up clutch is operated in the low-speed region of the engine as described above, the lock-up clutch is operated in the high-speed region where the vibration is severe and the engine speed is higher than the predetermined engine speed. have.
In addition, in the conventional torque converter, when the frequency of the rotational power of the engine input to the front cover coincides with the natural frequency of the torque converter, resonance occurs. The amplitude of the frequency of the driving force input to the input shaft of the transmission through the torque converter can be increased. If the amplitude of the vibration frequency of the driving force input to the transmission input shaft increases, the performance of the vehicle's NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) deteriorates, the fuel consumption decreases, and the power transmission performance of the torque converter deteriorates.
The matters described in the background section are intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the invention and may include matters not previously known to those skilled in the art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a turbine engine which avoids a resonance occurrence area by changing a mounting position of a turbine plate connected to a turbine, Up clutch by operating the lock-up clutch while sufficiently attenuating the vibration of the lock-up clutch, thereby improving the vibration insulation characteristic.
