What Connects the Dual-Clutch Transmission to the Engine?
1 Answers
It is achieved through a hydraulic automatic transmission. Working principle of hydraulic automatic transmission: When the engine is running, the flywheel and the pump wheel rotate together, driving the oil inside the pump to push the turbine wheel to rotate. This is similar to placing two fans face to face—when one fan is turned on, the other fan also starts to rotate. The guide wheel causes the oil thrown out by the turbine to impact the pump wheel again, thereby increasing torque. The greater the speed difference between the pump wheel and the turbine, the more the torque increases. This serves the purpose of the transmission amplifying torque. Advantages of hydraulic automatic transmission: The hydraulic automatic transmission does not use a mechanical clutch and has only three gears: low speed, high speed, and reverse. As a result, driving becomes very effortless—there's no need to depress a clutch or frequently shift gears. It operates smoothly and provides high torque at low speeds.
