摘要:
An automatic transmission includes a transaxle casing and an overdrive casing fixed to the transaxle casing. A gear transmission mechanism is housed within the transaxle casing, and an overdrive mechanism is housed within the overdrive casing. Each of these is hydraulically controlled. A first hydraulic fluid accumulator for moderating sudden pressure changes within a part of a control mechanism for the gear transmission mechanism is housed within the transaxle casing, and a second hydraulic fluid accumulator for moderating sudden pressure changes within a part of a control mechanism for the overdrive mechanism is housed within the overdrive casing. Thereby a common type of transaxle casing may be used both for an automatic transmission assembly which incorporates such an overdrive mechanism and for an automatic transmission assembly which does not incorporate such an overdrive mechanism, and in the latter case no waste of space within the transaxle casing due to the unnecessary provision of space for the second hydraulic fluid accumulator need occur.

A centrifugal hydraulic cancel mechanism for the rotating clutch in which a first cylindrical body and a second cylindrical body whose diameter is smaller than the first cylindrical body are set on a same central axis, frictional plates are attached to an inner surface of the first cylindrical body and an outer surface of the second cylindrical body, which transmit torque with their friction, a piston is arranged to move forward and backward to the frictional plates, a fluid chamber is formed on the opposite side of the piston in respect to the frictional plates, and a cancel chamber is formed at an opposite side to the fluid chamber in respect to the piston, where oil pressure can be supplied and discharged, comprises an auxiliary oil chamber formed closer to the central axis than the cancel chamber, and a fluid passageway connecting the cancel chamber and the auxiliary oil chamber.

A planetary gear type speed change device having a first planetary gear mechanism 10, 12, 14, 16 or 60, 64, 66, 68, 70 and a second planetary gear mechanism 20, 22, 24, 26 or 62, 64, 66, 70 incorporated between an input shaft 52 and an output shaft 54 by a selectively actuable drive system including four clutches 38, 40, 42, 44, two brakes 46, 48 and a one-way clutch 34, wherein the one-way clutch 34 has two functions of selectively braking the ring gear 12 or the carrier 70 with respect to the housing 50 via the brake 46 in providing a first speed stage and also of selectively connecting the carrier 26 or 70 with the sun gear 20 or 62 via the clutch 40 in providing a third speed stage.

In a hydraulic torque converter having a torus of flatness ratio (L/H) within the range 0.82-0.9, the outer and inner contours of the turbine in a meridional plane through the axis of the turbine each comprises a combination of a plurality of circular arcs, wherein the ratios between the radii of the circular arcs constituting said outer contour is substantially less than 2, and the ratios between the radii of the circular arcs constituting said inner contour is substantially less than 2.As a result, fluid flows through the turbine stably without being biased, increasing the velocity of relative flow along the turbine blade, and raising the normal speed ratio at which the absolute flow is in the direction of no impact, enabling a higher stall torque ratio without reduction in efficiency.

A central differential device for differentially transmitting rotational power from the engine to the front wheel propeller shaft and the rear wheel propeller shaft in a vehicle is locked up step by step to restrict its differential operation gradually when the difference between front wheel rotational speed and rear wheel rotational speed is larger than a reference value while checking at each step before further increasing the degree of locking up if the difference is still larger than the reference value which may be changed for such each step.
摘要:
A control system for an intermediate differential in a four-wheel drive vehicle, the intermediate differential being provided with a lock mechanism which is operated under control of an actuator to selectively maintain the intermediate differential in a locked condition or an unlocked condition. The control system includes a first sensor arranged to detect a steering angle of a dirigible road wheel for producing a first detection signal therefrom when the steering angle exceeds a predetermined value, a second sensor arranged to detect disconnection of the drive power transmitted to the intermediate differential from a prime mover of the vehicle for producing a second detection signal therefrom when transmission of the drive power is disconnected, and a control device responsive to the first and second detection signals from the sensors for controlling the actuator in such a manner that the lock mechanism is operated to release the locked condition of the intermediate differential when the steering angle exceeds the predetermined value in a condition where the transmission of the drive power is disconnected.
