  • Automatic transmission for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 12215773
    Abstract: An automatic transmission (1) includes a transmission housing, a hydrodynamic torque converter (5), a first brake, a second brake, an intermediate plate (6) fixedly connected to the transmission housing and with ducts for supplying the hydrodynamic torque converter (5) and the two brakes (A, B) with oil. An oil guide shell (7) is arranged between the hydrodynamic torque converter (5) and the intermediate plate (6). Oil coming from the two brakes sinks via oil ducts (39.1, 39.2, 39.3) in the transmission housing and the intermediate plate (6) via the inflow opening (40) in the oil guide shell (7). The hydrodynamic torque converter (5), via rotation, conveys the oil to the elevated oil ejection opening in the oil guide shell (7), from where the oil sinks into the tank (8) via a gap (52) delimited by the oil guide shell (7) and the intermediate plate (6).

  • Oil thrower for an exhaust-gas turbocharger
    Publication number: 20020158418
    Abstract: An oil thrower for an exhaust-gas turbocharger. The oil thrower has at least one first ring shoulder and one second ring shoulder. Formed between these two ring shoulders is an oil collection space. The lubricant is collected in this oil collection space at low rates of rotation. The oil thrower prevents the lubricant from ending up on the turbine wheel.
