Patent number: 11118652Abstract: A vibration damper is provided with two rotating members, i.e. an oscillating inertial flywheel and a member to be damped driven by a torque following a torque path between a driving member and a driven member, wherein the inertial flywheel is connected kinematically to the torque path between the driving member and the driven member solely by way of the member to be damped. Connecting modules between the two rotating members permit a relative angular displacement ? between the two rotating members on the two sides of a reference relative angular position. Each connecting module is provided with a roller associated with a first of the two rotating members and a cam track connected resiliently by a resilient element to a second of the two rotating members.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: VALEO EMBRAYAGESInventors: Benoit Fleche, Fabien Lebeau, Jerome Boulet, Carlos Lopez Perez

Patent number: 10533627Abstract: A damping device for damping vibrations of a motor vehicle transmission drivetrain. The damping device features a first element and a second element (2) rotationally movable around a rotation axis X, an elastic damping member having an elastic blade (13, 14) mounted rotationally integrally with the first element (3) and a rolling body movable with respect to the second element along a curvilinear trajectory over at least a predetermined angular sector (A). Movement of the rolling body along the curvilinear trajectory with respect to the second element is accompanied by a movement of the rolling body on the elastic blade, causing the elastic blade to flex.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Valeo EmbrayagesInventors: Ivan Dutier, Jerome Boulet, Herve Maurel

Patent number: 9683627Abstract: A filtering mechanism for torque fluctuations is interposed between a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine and a transmission. This mechanism comprises a rotating member to be damped, an oscillating inertial flywheel rotating around the axis of revolution, and pivot-mounted modules allowing angular deflection of the oscillating inertial flywheel with respect to the member to be damped. The modules each have at least one oscillating arm pivoting radially with respect to the member to be damped and a kinematic connecting member between the oscillating arm and the oscillating inertial flywheel. When the mechanism rotates centrifugal forces on the oscillating arm produce a counteracting torque that tends to return the oscillating inertial flywheel and the member to be damped toward the equilibrium position. The counteracting torque increases with the rotation speed of the filtering mechanism and with the amplitude of the angular deflection.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Valeo EmbrayagesInventors: Jerome Boulet, Benoit Fleche, Daniel Fenioux, Franck Cailleret, Carsten Lauridsen, Roel Verhoog, Olivier Marechal, Herve Mahe
