Why is the Transmission Valve Body Like a Maze?

[MayaRose]

Transmission valve bodies resemble mazes because they are designed based on hydraulic schematics to fulfill functional requirements. These schematics are then transformed into the valve body design, with the channels serving as oil passages. Introduction to Transmissions: A transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. It has evolved from manual transmissions in the past to continuously variable transmissions (CVT) today, enabling the engine to operate with lower fuel consumption at higher power outputs. Transmissions can alter the vehicle's rotational speed and expand the driving wheel's torque and speed range. Classification of Transmissions: Automatic transmissions have become the mainstream internationally, primarily including AT, AMT, CVT, and DCT types. Early AT transmission systems were predominantly 4AT. AT transmissions achieve automatic gear shifting through electronically controlled automatic operating systems.
