Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of transmissions and relates to an assembly method, in particular to a hydraulic torque converter, an auxiliary tooling and an assembly method. Background Art
[0002] The torque converter is an important component of the hydraulic automatic transmission. Its function is to transfer the torque output by the engine to the driven element of the torque converter through the active element of the torque converter via the special hydraulic transmission hydraulic oil, and finally to the transmission. In this torque transmission process, the torque converter can achieve infinite changes in speed and torque within a certain range, so that the vehicle can drive normally under different driving conditions. In addition, due to the existence of the torque converter, the driver does not need to turn off the engine when stepping on the brake pedal. At this time, the engine power is not interrupted, but the vehicle can remain stationary. This feature makes it more convenient and safer for the driver to drive the vehicle.
[0003] The internal structure of the torque converter is mainly composed of a pump wheel, a guide wheel and a turbine. The turbine is connected to the engine output as an active component, and the turbine is connected to the gearbox input as a driven component. The application of the torque converter reduces the impact and vibration of the vehicle power during the transmission process and prolongs the service life of related components. Especially for the commercial vehicle field, the existence of the torque converter greatly improves the safety and comfort of driving.
[0004] Since the torque converter is an assembly part, it needs to be connected and assembled with other parts of the hydraulic automatic transmission as a whole during installation. On-site operators cannot visually see the internal structure of the hydraulic automatic transmission and can only perform blind installation based on experience and feeling. Therefore, the problem of incomplete assembly often occurs during the assembly process of the torque converter and the hydraulic automatic transmission.
[0005] When matching with the engine, it is necessary to ensure that the surface of the torque converter after installation has a fixed distance to the surface of the stopper of the torque converter housing. However, due to the accumulation of machining errors of various parts here, the distance between the surface of each torque converter and the stopper surface of the torque converter housing is inconsistent. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the consistency of the distance between the surface of the torque converter and the stopper surface of the torque converter housing by adding gaskets according to the error between the different parts of each hydraulic automatic transmission. However, the selection of adjustment gaskets requires repeated segmented measurements, and the error of each measurement will accumulate as the number of measurements increases, resulting in a large measurement error. In addition, the influence of the gap between the parts needs to be eliminated during the measurement process, so the torque converter assembly must be reversed and measured under the action of gravity. This not only increases the complexity of the measurement and wastes a lot of time, but also has certain safety hazards, and there is a risk of damage to the operator and on-site parts. During the measurement process, the benchmarks and measuring tools and measurement methods of each installed operator are inconsistent, and the consistency of the assembly state of each hydraulic automatic transmission cannot be guaranteed.

A method for assembling a torque converter, characterized in that: Based on the auxiliary tooling of claim 8, assembling the torque converter assembly of any one of claims 1 to 7 into the transmission housing assembly of claim 9 specifically comprises the following steps: Step 1: Place the locking auxiliary component (12) disc (1201) on the turbine shaft gasket mounting surface (17) on the upper end surface of the turbine shaft (14), so that the boss (1203) contacts the upper end surface of the turbine shaft (14) and the through hole (1204) of the locking auxiliary component (12) and the threaded hole of the turbine shaft (14) are aligned; Step 2: Screw the locking nut (15) into the through hole (1204) of the locking auxiliary component (12) and the threaded hole of the turbine shaft (14) and lock them; Step 3, measuring the distance m1 between the stop surface (16) of the torque converter housing and the upper surface of the locking auxiliary component (12), mm; Step 4, calculate the distance A1 between the torque converter housing stopper surface (16) and the turbine shaft gasket mounting surface (17), mm; A1=m1-L1 in: L1 is the thickness of the locking auxiliary component (12), mm; Step 5, placing the supporting auxiliary member (11) on the locking auxiliary member (12), so that the cylindrical section (1101) of the supporting auxiliary member (11) faces upward and the center of the cylindrical section (1102) is coaxial with the center of the locking auxiliary member (12); Step 6, slowly hoisting the torque converter assembly above the supporting auxiliary component (11), and then slowly lowering it; Step 7, after the torque converter assembly falls into place, measure the distance m2, mm, between the installation surface (19) of the torque converter and the upper surface of the supporting auxiliary member (11); Step 8, calculating the distance A2 between the lower surface of the torque converter locking plate (7) and the torque converter mounting surface (19), mm; A2=L2-m2 in: L2 is the distance between the shoulder surface of the supporting auxiliary part (11) and the upper surface of the supporting auxiliary part (11), mm; Step nine, calculating the thickness D of the adjustment gasket (23); D=H-A1-A2 in: H is the distance between the stop surface (16) of the torque converter housing and the installation surface (19) of the torque converter after the torque converter is normally installed, in mm; Step 10, measuring the distance d between the turbine shaft gasket mounting surface (17) and the upper end surface of the turbine shaft (14), and determining whether the thickness D of the adjustment gasket (23) is greater than d; if so, selecting the adjustment gasket (23) with a thickness of D, and proceeding to step 11; otherwise, during assembly, the torque converter assembly directly contacts the upper end surface of the turbine shaft (14), and no adjustment gasket is required; Step 11, slowly lift the torque converter assembly, remove the supporting auxiliary component (11), loosen the locking nut (15) and remove the locking nut (15); remove the locking auxiliary component (12), place the adjusting gasket (23) on the turbine shaft gasket mounting surface (17), and make the center hole of the adjusting gasket (23) coaxial with the center hole of the turbine shaft gasket mounting surface (17) on the turbine shaft (14); Step 12, slowly lower the torque converter assembly, pass the locking nut (15) through the torque converter cover wheel (8), the torque converter locking plate (7) and the adjusting gasket (23) in sequence, connect and lock the locking nut (15) with the threaded hole of the turbine shaft (14); and install the oil sealing nut (22) on the top of the torque converter cover wheel (8); Step 13, measuring the distance h between the stop surface (16) of the torque converter housing and the installation surface (19) of the torque converter. If the measured value h satisfies the following formula, the assembly is qualified. Otherwise, the assembly is unqualified. Remove the oil sealing nut (22) and return to step 7. h≤H.
