Detailed Description
In order to further illustrate the technical scheme of the invention, the specific implementation mode of the invention is as follows by combining the attached drawings of the specification:
the embodiment of the invention takes the three-element hydraulic torque converter as a research object, but is not limited to the application range. Firstly, CFD numerical simulation is carried out on an original conventional hydraulic torque converter, and then according to the internal blade flow-around condition of a turbine of the torque converter, on the basis of keeping the inlet and outlet angles of the original turbine blade unchanged, segmentation treatment is carried out on the turbine blade at the position (shown as A in figure 1) where the pressure value of the pressure surface of the turbine blade is 0. And defining the blades close to the inlet part of the turbine after the segmentation treatment as main blades, and defining the blades close to the outlet of the turbine as tail blades. The inlet section of the main blade is the same as the original blade, the position close to the pressure surface and with the pressure value of 0 is a transition section, the transition section is obtained by translating 2/5-3/5 blade thicknesses from the original pressure surface to the suction surface, preferably by translating 1/2 blade thicknesses from the original pressure surface to the suction surface, and the transition section is connected by a smooth arc at the position A in the figure 1; the tail leaves are obtained by adjusting the original leaves according to the shape and distribution position of the tail leaves. However, the blade form of the main blade of the present invention is not limited thereto. Three types of blade segmentation processing were performed on the turbine blade by using the three-dimensional software NX, and the processing was performed in example 1, example 2, and example 3. The three staged processing schemes yield the same main blade as the turbine blade is being processed, with only a difference in the trailing blade morphology and distribution. The main blade and the tail blade are arranged in a top-to-top mode in the embodiment 1, the main blade and the tail blade are arranged in a staggered mode in the embodiment 2, and the main blade and the tail blade are arranged in a lap mode in the embodiment 3. However, the present invention is not limited to the three main and tail vane arrangements.
Example 1
The embodiment 1 designs the turbine blade of the torque converter with the main blade 2 and the tail blade 3 arranged in a vertex-to-vertex manner (as shown in fig. 3 b-2). According to the three-dimensional model of the turbine blade in the embodiment, the blade bone line and the leaf shape are extracted, the leaf shape and the bone line of the original blade and the blade shape and the bone line obtained by the segmentation processing in the embodiment 1 of the invention are shown in fig. 4a to 4 d. In the space coordinate system of fig. 4a to 4d, the rotating shaft of the torque converter is the z-axis, the xoy plane is the interface between the pump impeller and the turbine runner, and the direction of the turbine runner pointing to the pump impeller is the positive direction of the z-axis. Extracting the three-dimensional blade bone line coordinates, and performing data processing on data points of the blade bone line by using MATLAB to obtain an expression of the blade bone line in a space coordinate system. Wherein the expression of the original conventional torque converter turbine blade outer ring skeleton line 11 in a space coordinate system is
The expression of the original conventional torque converter turbine blade inner ring skeleton line 12 in a space coordinate system is
In the embodiment 1 of the present invention, after the segmentation process, the expression of the outer ring bone line 21 of the main blade in the space coordinate system is
The expression of the inner circumferential skeleton line 22 of the main blade in the space coordinate system is
The expression of the outer ring bone line 31 of the tail vane in the space coordinate system is
The expression of the inner ring bone line 32 of the tail vane in the space coordinate system is
The torque converter model designed in embodiment 1 of the present invention is subjected to three-dimensional CFD numerical simulation calculation, and the flow field and external characteristic prediction results obtained by CFD numerical simulation are analyzed to obtain the following conclusions:
the hydraulic torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the invention increases the stress area of the pressure surface of the turbine, and the internal pressure of the turbine is improved in the working process of the torque converter. In fig. 5 (a), it can be clearly seen that the pressure applied to the suction surface of the turbine blade after the segmentation process is significantly higher than that of the conventional torque converter, especially in the concave section of the main blade after the segmentation process, and the pressure value is close to the highest pressure in the cascade channel. And the stress on the front edge of the main blade is improved, which is also beneficial to improving the thrust borne by the turbine, thereby improving the torque of the turbine and improving the torque ratio of the torque converter.
The torque converter designed in embodiment 1 of the invention improves the flow condition at the inlet of the turbine. As can be seen from the streamlines in fig. 5 (b), the original conventional torque converter has a significant vortex formation at the inlet of the turbine blade pressure surface, and the vortex generates a backflow of oil at the inlet of the turbine from the streamlines and flows back to the non-cascade region until being pushed into the following cascade channel by the upstream oil. The backflow vortex disappears after the turbine blade is segmented, namely the flow condition of the original conventional hydraulic torque converter at the inlet of the turbine is poor, the turbine blade segmentation improves the flow state at the inlet of the turbine, oil can enter the turbine more conveniently, the flow loss of the oil entering the turbine after coming out of the pump impeller is reduced, so that larger torque and power can be transmitted, and the transmission efficiency is improved. As can be seen in fig. 5 (b), after the blade segmentation process, the ultrahigh vortex amount at the near-wall surface of the original conventional torque converter is eliminated, which further reduces the flow loss generated by the small-scale vortex dissipation of the near-wall surface boundary layer. In the main flow region, the area of the large vorticity region obtained by the torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the present invention is larger than that obtained by the original conventional torque converter, which indicates that the turbulent flow strength of the torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the present invention is larger in the main flow region, so as to generate stronger impact on the blades to improve the stress on the blades, and in addition, from the aspect of the flow velocity shown in (c) of fig. 5, the flow velocity of the oil at the inlet of the turbine is increased by the segmented treatment of the blades, which indicates that the segmented treatment of the blades accelerates the process of the oil entering the turbine, and improves the flow condition at the inlet of the turbine.
The hydraulic torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the invention has small flow loss in the turbine, and the concave section of the main blade has strong micro-scale vortex motion after segmentation treatment, so that the pressure of the wall surface is promoted to be increased, the torque of the turbine is further improved, and the torque conversion ratio of the torque converter is improved. Comparing physical quantities on streamlines at the same location near the turbine blade pressure face. The trend of the change of each physical quantity is shown in fig. 6a to 6c, and the dimensionless distance "0" represents the turbine inlet and "1" represents the turbine outlet. In viscous flow, the difference in enthalpy of transfer between two points on the same flow line represents the flow loss during the fluid flow. Fig. 6a is a plot of enthalpy change on the same streamline. As can be seen from the graph, the enthalpy value of the original conventional torque converter sharply decreases at the dimensionless distance of 0.2, and tends to be stable after reaching the dimensionless distance of 0.5. The original conventional torque converter has great oil flow loss in the maximum curvature section of the blade, but the torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the invention starts to gradually reduce the enthalpy value at the dimensionless distance of 0.4, which shows that the flow loss of the flow liquid is more obvious when the flow liquid enters the blade segmentation treatment. In addition, the change of the enthalpy value of the original conventional torque converter is obviously higher than that of the enthalpy value of the torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the invention, namely the fluid flow loss of the torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the invention is smaller. In addition, as can be seen from fig. 6b and 6c, the turbulent kinetic energy and the dissipation rate of the turbulent kinetic energy both fluctuate greatly and sharply at the turbine blade segmentation processing position, and the change forms of the turbulent kinetic energy and the dissipation rate are substantially similar. The hydrodynamic torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the present invention rapidly increases at the dimensionless distance "0.4", gradually descends after reaching the peak, and approaches to the normal level at the dimensionless distance "0.6", that is, after the hydrodynamic torque converter designed in the embodiment 1 of the present invention is segmented, the turbulent kinetic energy is rapidly increased at the concave section of the main blade, that is, there is strong vortex motion at this stage, and the turbulent dissipation rate fluctuates in the same form, which indicates that the strong vortex has a small size, and the evolution and disappearance are very fast, and when the strong turbulent vortex is formed, the pressure of the wall surface is increased.
Compared with the original conventional torque converter, the performance of the torque converter designed by the embodiment 1 of the invention is greatly improved, the maximum efficiency is improved to 87.16% from 86.2%, the stall torque ratio is improved to 2.63 from 2.454, and meanwhile, the nominal torque of the stall condition is improved by 7.7%. Specific in vitro property comparison curves are shown in fig. 7 a-7 c.

The blade bone line and the blade shape are extracted according to the three-dimensional model of the turbine blade established in the embodiment 2, and the blade shape and the bone line obtained by the segmentation processing in the embodiment 1 of the invention are shown in fig. 4e and 4 f. Extracting the three-dimensional blade bone line coordinates, and performing data processing on data points of the blade bone line by using MATLAB to obtain an expression of the blade bone line in a space coordinate system. The expression of the main blade bone line in the space coordinate system is consistent with that of the embodiment 1, and the expression of the tail blade outer ring bone line 41 in the space coordinate system is
The expression of the inner ring bone line 42 of the tail vane in the space coordinate system is
The hydraulic torque converter designed in the embodiment 2 of the invention improves the pressure of the pressure surface of the turbine, further improves the torque of the turbine and improves the torque ratio of the torque converter. The turbine inlet flow conditions can also be improved, reducing flow losses. Torque converter performance, especially low speed performance, can be improved. The stall torque ratio is increased from 2.454 to 2.6, the starting nominal torque is increased from 180.02Nm to 194.3Nm, and the efficiency in a low speed region is obviously improved. Specific in vitro characteristic comparison curves are shown in FIGS. 8a to 8 c.

The blade bone line and the blade shape are extracted according to the three-dimensional model of the turbine blade established in the embodiment 3, and the blade shape and the bone line obtained by the segmentation processing in the embodiment 3 are shown in fig. 4g and 4 h. Extracting the three-dimensional blade bone line coordinates, and performing data processing on data points of the blade bone line by using MATLAB to obtain an expression of the blade bone line in a space coordinate system. The expression of the main blade bone line in the space coordinate system is consistent with that of the embodiment 1, and the expression of the tail blade outer ring bone line 51 in the space coordinate system is
The expression of the inner ring bone line 52 of the tail vane in the space coordinate system is
The hydraulic torque converter designed in embodiment 3 of the invention can also improve the pressure of the pressure surface of the turbine, so that the torque of the turbine is improved, and the torque ratio of the torque converter is improved. Meanwhile, the flow state of the turbine inlet is also improved, the flow loss is reduced, and the performance of the torque converter is improved. The stall torque ratio is increased from 2.454 to 2.54, the starting nominal torque is increased from 180.02Nm to 199.22Nm, and the efficiency in a low speed region is obviously improved. Specific in vitro characteristic comparison curves are shown in FIGS. 9a to 9 c.
