Motor Vehicle Transmission with a Torque Converter - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019026 titled 'Motor Vehicle Transmission with a Torque Converter

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a motor vehicle transmission with a torque converter and a first oil guide device positioned at the side of the torque converter. The transmission housing encloses the torque converter and has an inner surface with a gap between the housing wall and the outer surface of the torque converter, allowing oil to flow from one area of the transmission to another during the torque converter's rotary movement.

  • The motor vehicle transmission includes a torque converter and a first oil guide device.
  • The torque converter is accommodated within the transmission housing.
  • The housing wall of the transmission housing encloses the torque converter.
  • The housing wall has an inner surface with a specific inner diameter.
  • The inner surface and the outer surface of the torque converter create a gap.
  • The gap allows oil to flow from one area of the transmission to another during the torque converter's rotary movement.
  • The second area is positioned above the first area in the installed position of the motor vehicle transmission.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in various motor vehicle transmissions, including cars, trucks, and other vehicles.
  • It can improve the efficiency and performance of the transmission system.

Problems Solved:

  • The technology solves the problem of efficiently transferring oil between different areas of the transmission during the torque converter's rotary movement.
  • It ensures proper lubrication and cooling of the transmission components.

Benefits:

  • Improved transmission efficiency and performance.
  • Enhanced lubrication and cooling of transmission components.
  • Increased durability and lifespan of the transmission system.


Original Abstract Submitted

a motor vehicle transmission () includes a transmission housing () with torque converter () accommodated in the transmission housing () and a first oil guide device () positioned at an axial side of the torque converter (). a housing wall () of the transmission housing () encloses the torque converter () radially outwardly at least in sections and has an inner surface () with an inner diameter configured such that a gap () defined by the inner surface () of the housing wall () and an outer surface () of the torque converter () is configured to convey oil from a first area () of the motor vehicle transmission () into a second area () of the motor vehicle transmission () during a rotary movement of the torque converter (). the second area () is arranged above the first area () in an installed position of the motor vehicle transmission ().
