  • Torque converter and vehicle including the torque converter
    Patent number: 11773953
    Abstract: A torque converter includes a pump shell having pump blades; a turbine shell having a support portion supporting turbine blades, wherein the turbine blades are driven by the pump blades via a fluid to rotate about a rotational axis. The turbine shell further has a flange portion extending outward at the radially outside of the support portion and is integrally formed with the support portion. The torque converter further comprises a vibration damping device, the mass of which is mounted on the flange portion and configured to be movable relative to the flange portion and apply a torque to the turbine shell, thereby damping the torque vibration on the turbine shell. In addition, the invention also discloses a vehicle comprising the torque converter.
