[0002] A hydraulic torque converter is also known as a "hydraulic torque converter", "turbine torque converter", or "hydrodynamic torque converter". It is a type of hydrodynamic transmission component. It consists of an impeller, a turbine, and a guide wheel. The impeller is connected to the driving shaft and can convert the mechanical energy input by the driving shaft into the kinetic energy and pressure head of the liquid by means of centrifugal force for the turbine to do work. The turbine is connected to the driven shaft and can output the energy contained in the kinetic energy and pressure head of the liquid from the driven shaft.

[0003] The impeller is generally cast from aluminum metal. Many relatively flat blades are installed radially inside it. A guide ring for the smooth flow of transmission oil is installed at the inner edge of the blade. It is made (or welded) into one body with the torque converter housing and is connected to the engine. When the engine rotates, it gives an additional acceleration and additional energy to the working fluid. The working fluid in the impeller sprays out from the outer edge of the impeller and enters the turbine by means of centrifugal force.

[0004] Currently, in the production process of the torque converter turbine, it is basically a single-process production. After the turning process is completed, it is manually transported to the workbench by hand.
