摘要： The invention broadly comprises a torque converter including: a core ring; a turbine blade connected to the ring and having a perimeter with a segment facing an outer surface of the ring and disposed proximate the outer surface; and joining material fixedly connecting less than the entirety of the segment to the outer surface. The segment is fixedly connected to reduce resonance in the turbine. In some aspects, the ring includes an inner surface oppositely disposed from the outer surface and an open path between the surfaces. The present invention broadly comprises a notched turbine blade and a core ring with a discontinuity in an outer surface arranged to block capillary action for flowable joining material disposed in an interface between a turbine blade installed on the ring and the outer surface. The invention also broadly comprises a method for controlling resonance of a turbine in a torque converter.

摘要翻译： 本发明广泛地包括一个变矩器，包括：一个芯环; 涡轮叶片，其连接到所述环并且具有周边，所述周边具有面向所述环的外表面的段，并且邻近所述外表面设置; 以及将小于整个片段固定地连接到外表面的接合材料。 该段固定连接以减少涡轮机中的共振。 在一些方面，环包括与外表面相对设置的内表面和表面之间的开放路径。 本发明广泛地包括缺口涡轮机叶片和在外表面上具有不连续性的芯环，其布置成阻止设置在安装在环上的涡轮叶片与外表面之间的界面中的可流动接合材料的毛细作用。 本发明还广泛地包括一种用于控制变矩器中的涡轮机的共振的方法。
