2、　　If you have ever driven a car with an automatic transmission, then you know that there are two big differences between an automatic transmission and a manual transmission: </p><p>　　There is no clutch peda

3、l in an automatic transmission car. </p><p>　　There is no gear shift in an automatic transmission car. Once you put the transmission into drive, everything else is automatic. </p><p>　　Both the

4、automatic transmission (plus its torque converter) and a manual transmission (with its clutch) accomplish exactly the same thing, but they do it in totally different ways. It turns out that the way an automatic transmiss

5、ion does it is absolutely amazing!</p><p>　　Automatic Transmission Image Gallery</p><p>　　In this article, we'll work our way through an automatic transmission. We'll start with the key

6、to the whole system: planetary gearsets. Then we'll see how the transmission is put together, learn how the controls work and discuss some of the intricacies involved in controlling a transmission. </p><p&

7、gt;　　Just like that of a manual transmission, the automatic transmission's primary job is to allow the engine to operate in its narrow range of speeds while providing a wide range of output speeds.</p><p&g

8、t;　　Without a transmission, cars would be limited to one gear ratio, and that ratio would have to be selected to allow the car to travel at the desired top speed. If you wanted a top speed of 80 mph, then the gear ratio

9、would be similar to third gear in most manual transmission cars. </p><p>　　You've probably never tried driving a manual transmission car using only third gear. If you did, you'd quickly find out that

10、 you had almost no acceleration when starting out, and at high speeds, the engine would be screaming along near the red-line. A car like this would wear out very quickly and would be nearly undriveable.</p><p&

11、gt;　　So the transmission uses gears to make more effective use of the engine's torque, and to keep the engine operating at an appropriate speed. </p><p>　　The key difference between a manual and an autom

12、atic transmission is that the manual transmission locks and unlocks different sets of gears to the output shaft to achieve the various gear ratios, while in an automatic transmission, the same set of gears produces all o

13、f the different gear ratios. The planetary gearset is the device that makes this possible in an automatic transmission. </p><p>　　Let's take a look at how the planetary gearset works. </p><p&g

14、t;　　Planetary Gearsets & Gear Ratios</p><p>　　When you take apart and look inside an automatic transmission, you find a huge </p><p>　　An ingenious planetary gearset </p><p>　　A

15、 set of bands to lock parts of a gearset </p><p>　　A set of three wet-plate clutches to lock other parts of the gearset </p><p>　　An incredibly odd hydraulic system that controls the clutches an

16、d bands </p><p>　　A large gear pump to move transmission fluid around </p><p>　　The center of attention is the planetary gearset. About the size of a cantaloupe, this one part creates all of the

17、 different gear ratios that the transmission can produce. Everything else in the transmission is there to help the planetary gearset do its thing. This amazing piece of gearing has appeared on HowStuffWorks before. You m

18、ay recognize it from the electric screwdriver article. An automatic transmission contains two complete planetary gearsets folded together into one component. See How </p><p>　　Any planetary gearset has three

19、 main components: </p><p>　　The sun gear </p><p>　　The planet gears and the planet gears' carrier </p><p>　　The ring gear </p><p>　　Each of these three components c

20、an be the input, the output or can be held stationary. Choosing which piece plays which role determines the gear ratio for the gearset. Let's take a look at a single planetary gearset. </p><p>　　One of t

21、he planetary gearsets from our transmission has a ring gear with 72 teeth and a sun gear with 30 teeth. We can get lots of different gear ratios out of this gearset.</p><p>　　Also, locking any two of the thr

22、ee components together will lock up the whole device at a 1:1 gear reduction. Notice that the first gear ratio listed above is a reduction -- the output speed is slower than the input speed. The second is an overdrive --

23、 the output speed is faster than the input speed. The last is a reduction again, but the output direction is reversed. There are several other ratios that can be gotten out of this planetary gear set, but these are the o

24、nes that are relevant to our</p><p>　　So this one set of gears can produce all of these different gear ratios without having to engage or disengage any other gears. With two of these gearsets in a row, we ca

25、n get the four forward gears and one reverse gear our transmission needs. We'll put the two sets of gears together in the next section. </p><p>　　Compound Planetary Gearset</p><p>　　This aut

26、omatic transmission uses a set of gears, called a compound planetary gearset, that looks like a single planetary gearset but actually behaves like two planetary gearsets combined. It has one ring gear that is always the

27、output of the transmission, but it has two sun gears and two sets of planets. </p><p>　　Let's look at some of the parts: </p><p>　　The figure below shows the planets in the planet carrier. N

28、otice how the planet on the right sits lower than the planet on the left. The planet on the right does not engage the ring gear -- it engages the other planet. Only the planet on the left engages the ring gear. </p>

29、;<p>　　Next you can see the inside of the planet carrier. The shorter gears are engaged only by the smaller sun gear. The longer planets are engaged by the bigger sun gear and by the smaller planets. </p>&

30、lt;p>　　Automatic Transmission Gears</p><p>　　First Gear</p><p>　　In first gear, the smaller sun gear is driven clockwise by the turbine in the torque converter. The planet carrier tries to sp

31、in counterclockwise, but is held still by the one-way clutch (which only allows rotation in the clockwise direction) and the ring gear turns the output. The small gear has 30 teeth and the ring gear has 72, so the gear r

32、atio is: </p><p>　　Ratio = -R/S = - 72/30 = -2.4:1</p><p>　　So the rotation is negative 2.4:1, which means that the output direction would be opposite the input direction. But the output directi

33、on is really the same as the input direction -- this is where the trick with the two sets of planets comes in. The first set of planets engages the second set, and the second set turns the ring gear; this combination rev

34、erses the direction. You can see that this would also cause the bigger sun gear to spin; but because that clutch is released, the bigger sun gear </p><p>　　Second Gear </p><p>　　This transmissio

35、n does something really neat in order to get the ratio needed for second gear. It acts like two planetary gearsets connected to each other with a common planet carrier. </p><p>　　The first stage of the plane

36、t carrier actually uses the larger sun gear as the ring gear. So the first stage consists of the sun (the smaller sun gear), the planet carrier, and the ring (the larger sun gear). </p><p>　　The input is the

37、 small sun gear; the ring gear (large sun gear) is held stationary by the band, and the output is the planet carrier. For this stage, with the sun as input, planet carrier as output, and the ring gear fixed, the formula

38、is: </p><p>　　1 + R/S = 1 + 36/30 = 2.2:1</p><p>　　The planet carrier turns 2.2 times for each rotation of the small sun gear. At the second stage, the planet carrier acts as the input for the s

39、econd planetary gear set, the larger sun gear (which is held stationary) acts as the sun, and the ring gear acts as the output, so the gear ratio is: </p><p>　　1 / (1 + S/R) = 1 / (1 + 36/72) = 0.67:1</p&

40、gt;<p>　　To get the overall reduction for second gear, we multiply the first stage by the second, 2.2 x 0.67, to get a 1.47:1 reduction. This may sound wacky, but it works. </p><p>　　Third Gear</p&

41、gt;<p>　　Most automatic transmissions have a 1:1 ratio in third gear. You'll remember from the previous section that all we have to do to get a 1:1 output is lock together any two of the three parts of the pla

42、netary gear. With the arrangement in this gearset it is even easier -- all we have to do is engage the clutches that lock each of the sun gears to the turbine.</p><p>　　If both sun gears turn in the same dir

43、ection, the planet gears lockup because they can only spin in opposite directions. This locks the ring gear to the planets and causes everything to spin as a unit, producing a 1:1 ratio. </p><p><b>　　O

44、verdrive</b></p><p>　　By definition, an overdrive has a faster output speed than input speed. It's a speed increase -- the opposite of a reduction. In this transmission, engaging the overdrive acco

45、mplishes two things at once. If you read How Torque Converters Work, you learned about lockup torque converters. In order to improve efficiency, some cars have a mechanism that locks up the torque converter so that the o

46、utput of the engine goes straight to the transmission. </p><p>　　In this transmission, when overdrive is engaged, a shaft that is attached to the housing of the torque converter (which is bolted to the flywh

47、eel of the engine) is connected by clutch to the planet carrier. The small sun gear freewheels, and the larger sun gear is held by the overdrive band. Nothing is connected to the turbine; the only input comes from the co

48、nverter housing. Let's go back to our chart again, this time with the planet carrier for input, the sun gear fixed and the ring gear for o</p><p>　　Ratio = 1 / (1 + S/R) = 1 / ( 1 + 36/72) = 0.67:1</p

49、><p>　　So the output spins once for every two-thirds of a rotation of the engine. If the engine is turning at 2000 rotations per minute (RPM), the output speed is 3000 RPM. This allows cars to drive at freeway

50、speed while the engine speed stays nice and slow. </p><p><b>　　Reverse</b></p><p>　　Reverse is very similar to first gear, except that instead of the small sun gear being driven by t

51、he torque converter turbine, the bigger sun gear is driven, and the small one freewheels in the opposite direction. The planet carrier is held by the reverse band to the housing. So, according to our equations from the l

52、ast page, we have: </p><p>　　Ratio = -R/S = 72/36 = 2.0:1</p><p>　　So the ratio in reverse is a little less than first gear in this transmission. </p><p>　　Gear Ratios</p>&l

53、t;p>　　This transmission has four forward gears and one reverse gear. Let's summarize the gear ratios, inputs and outputs:</p><p>　　After reading these sections, you are probably wondering how the diff

54、erent inputs get connected and disconnected. This is done by a series of clutches and bands inside the transmission. In the next section, we'll see how these work. </p><p>　　Clutches and Bands in an Auto

55、matic Transmission</p><p>　　In the last section, we discussed how each of the gear ratios is created by the transmission. For instance, when we discussed overdrive, we said: </p><p>　　In this tr

56、ansmission, when overdrive is engaged, a shaft that is attached to the housing of the torque converter (which is bolted to the flywheel of the engine) is connected by clutch to the planet carrier. The small sun gear free

57、wheels, and the larger sun gear is held by the overdrive band. Nothing is connected to the turbine; the only input comes from the converter housing. </p><p>　　To get the transmission into overdrive, lots of

58、things have to be connected and disconnected by clutches and bands. The planet carrier gets connected to the torque converter housing by a clutch. The small sun gets disconnected from the turbine by a clutch so that it c

59、an freewheel. The big sun gear is held to the housing by a band so that it could not rotate. Each gear shift triggers a series of events like these, with different clutches and bands engaging and disengaging. Let's t

60、ake a look at a </p><p><b>　　Bands</b></p><p>　　In this transmission there are two bands. The bands in a transmission are, literally, steel bands that wrap around sections of the gea

61、r train and connect to the housing. They are actuated by hydraulic cylinders inside the case of the transmission.</p><p>　　In the figure above, you can see one of the bands in the housing of the transmission

62、. The gear train is removed. The metal rod is connected to the piston, which actuates the band. </p><p>　　Above you can see the two pistons that actuate the bands. Hydraulic pressure, routed into the cylinde

63、r by a set of valves, causes the pistons to push on the bands, locking that part of the gear train to the housing. </p><p>　　The clutches in the transmission are a little more complex. In this transmission t

64、here are four clutches. Each clutch is actuated by pressurized hydraulic fluid that enters a piston inside the clutch. Springs make sure that the clutch releases when the pressure is reduced. Below you can see the piston

65、 and the clutch drum. Notice the rubber seal on the piston -- this is one of the components that is replaced when your transmission gets rebuilt. </p><p>　　The next figure shows the alternating layers of clu

66、tch friction material and steel plates. The friction material is splined on the inside, where it locks to one of the gears. The steel plate is splined on the outside, where it locks to the clutch housing. These clutch pl

67、ates are also replaced when the transmission is rebuilt. </p><p>　　The pressure for the clutches is fed through passageways in the shafts. The hydraulic system controls which clutches and bands are energized

78、。</p><p>　　因此這一套行星齒輪系可以產(chǎn)生所有需要的不同的齒輪傳動比，卻不需要接合或不接合其他齒輪。把兩套行星齒輪系置于一行，我們可以得到四個前進檔和一個后退檔。下一部分內(nèi)容我們將這兩個齒輪系組裝在一起。</p><p><b>　　復(fù)合行星齒輪系</b></p><p>　　自動變速器中使用了一系列的行星齒輪系，我們稱之為復(fù)合行星齒

79、輪系，看起來好像只有一個簡單的行星齒輪系，實際上卻實現(xiàn)這兩套齒輪系的功能。其中包含一個總是作為輸出的內(nèi)齒圈、兩個太陽和兩套行星裝置。</p><p>　　讓我們看其中的一些零件：</p><p>　　下圖中，行星輪裝在行星架上，可以看到，右邊的行星輪低于左邊的行星輪。右邊的行星輪不與內(nèi)齒圈嚙合——它和另一個行星輪嚙合。而只有左邊的行星輪與內(nèi)齒圈嚙合。 </p><p&g

80、t;　　在下個圖中，您可看到在行星架的內(nèi)部，短行星輪與小太陽輪嚙合，長行星輪同時與大太陽輪和小太陽輪嚙合。</p><p><b>　　自動變速檔位</b></p><p><b>　　第一檔</b></p><p>　　在一檔，小太陽輪在變矩器的渦輪驅(qū)動下順時針旋轉(zhuǎn)。行星架將自動做逆時針轉(zhuǎn)動，但是被離合器阻止了（離合器只

81、允許單向旋轉(zhuǎn)），從而內(nèi)齒圈變成了輸出。小太陽輪有30齒，內(nèi)齒圈72齒，則速比為：</p><p>　　Ratio = -R/S = - 72/30 = -2.4:1</p><p>　　因此旋轉(zhuǎn)速率為負的2.4:1，這意味著輸出方向同輸入的方向是相反的。但事實上，輸出方向是與輸入方向相同的，這就是要引入兩套行星齒輪系的原因。第一套與第二套嚙合，而第二套輸出至內(nèi)齒圈，這樣的組合把方向轉(zhuǎn)回原先

82、輸入的方向。這樣還是使得大太陽輪自轉(zhuǎn)，而這時的離合器是不作用的，大太陽輪以同渦輪相反的方向（逆時針）自轉(zhuǎn)。</p><p><b>　　第二檔</b></p><p>　　變速器做一些單獨的事情來獲得二檔所需的傳動比。它像相互連接的兩套行星輪和共同的行星架相連接。</p><p>　　行星架的第一級事實上是把大太陽輪用作內(nèi)齒圈。所以第一級包括太

83、陽輪（小太陽輪）、行星架和“內(nèi)齒圈”（大太陽輪）。輸入是小太陽輪，內(nèi)齒圈(大太陽輪)由鋼帶保持靜止，輸出是行星架。對于一級，太陽輪作為輸入，行星架作為輸出，而內(nèi)齒圈固定，其公式為：</p><p>　　1 + R/S = 1 + 36/30 = 2.2:1</p><p>　　小太陽輪旋轉(zhuǎn)一圈，行星架則轉(zhuǎn)過2.2圈。在第二級，行星架作為第二套行星齒輪系的輸入，大太陽輪（被固定）作為太陽輪，

84、而內(nèi)齒圈則作為輸出，其齒輪速比為：</p><p>　　1 / (1 + S/R) = 1 / (1 + 36/72) = 0.67:1</p><p>　　要得到二檔的減速比，我們把第一級減速比和第二級減速比相乘， 2.2 x 0.67，得到1.47:1。 這也許聽起來有些怪，但卻是這么運作的。</p><p><b>　　第三檔</b>&l

85、t;/p><p>　　絕大多數(shù)的自動變速器在第三檔是1：1的速比。您還記得前面我們已經(jīng)得到速比為1：1的方法——三個組成中鎖住任何兩個組成。這樣的裝置實現(xiàn)就比較容易——我們所要做的就是接合離合器來鎖住太陽輪中的一個。 如果兩個太陽輪以同一方向旋轉(zhuǎn)，行星輪則被鎖定，因為它們反向旋轉(zhuǎn)。內(nèi)齒圈和行星輪固定使得它們作為一個整體旋轉(zhuǎn)，從而產(chǎn)生1：1的速比。</p><p><b>　　加速檔&

86、lt;/b></p><p>　　根據(jù)定義，輸出的速度要高于輸入的速度。它是速度的增加——減速的對立面。在變速器中，加速時在同一時刻完成兩件事情。如果您看過《變矩器是如何工作的》，就知道變矩器的鎖止的情況。為了提高效率，一些汽車用機械方式鎖住變矩器，使得發(fā)動機的扭矩直接輸出到變速器。</p><p>　　變速器中，當(dāng)加速時，聯(lián)接到變矩器的外殼（用螺栓連接到發(fā)動機的飛輪）的軸通過離合器

88、速就為3000轉(zhuǎn)每分鐘。這就允許發(fā)動機以相對合適的速度運轉(zhuǎn)，汽車也能夠在高速公路上行駛。</p><p><b>　　倒檔</b></p><p>　　倒檔和一檔非常類似，區(qū)別在于，不是小太陽輪被驅(qū)動，而是大太陽輪被驅(qū)動，而小行星輪以相反方向旋轉(zhuǎn)。行星架與變矩器外殼同步，則根據(jù)上述的公式可以得到：</p><p>　　Ratio = -R/S

91、帶同步，渦輪不接其他東西，而變矩器的外殼作為輸出。</p><p>　　要讓變速器工作在加速檔，很多零部件要通過離合器和鋼帶連接或斷開。行星架通過離合器與變矩器外殼連接。小太陽輪通過離合器斷開與渦輪連接，使其空轉(zhuǎn)。大太陽輪利用鋼帶與外殼同步，使其無法旋轉(zhuǎn)。像這樣通過離合器與鋼帶的接合或不接合，每個齒輪運動都會觸發(fā)一系列的事件。讓我們看一下鋼帶。</p><p><b>　　鋼帶&
