In the modern field of mechanical transmission, the hydraulic coupling stands out as a unique and vital transmission device, playing an indispensable role. Utilizing liquid as its medium, it efficiently and smoothly transfers power from one rotating device to another.
I. Structure and Working Principle of the Hydraulic Coupling
The hydraulic coupling primarily consists of three key components: the pump impeller, the turbine, and the housing34. The pump impeller is connected to the input shaft and is typically driven by a power source such as an engine or motor, while the turbine is linked to the output shaft, responsible for transmitting power to the working machinery. The housing is filled with working oil, providing the medium necessary for efficient power transmission17.
When the power source drives the impeller to rotate, the impeller blades generate centrifugal force on the oil fluid, causing it to form a high-speed rotating circulation within the impeller. Under the influence of the Coriolis force, this rapidly flowing oil fluid strikes the turbine blades at a specific velocity and pressure. As a result, the turbine begins to rotate under the impact of the oil fluid, effectively transferring power from the impeller to the turbine and ultimately delivering it to the working machinery via the output shaft. After exiting the edges of the turbine blades, the oil fluid returns to the impeller, completing a continuous circulation path.
II. Advantages of the Hydraulic Coupling
- Flexible Transmission and Automatic Adaptation The hydraulic coupling enables flexible power transmission, automatically adapting to changes in load during the process of power delivery. When the load suddenly increases or decreases, it can absorb shock through the flow and momentum changes of the fluid, thereby protecting both the power source and the working machinery from excessive stress. This feature is particularly crucial for equipment that experiences frequent starts or significant load fluctuations1.
- Mitigate impact and isolate torsional vibrations In mechanical transmission systems, impacts and torsional vibrations often occur due to uneven output from the power source or sudden changes in load. Hydraulic couplings can effectively absorb and mitigate these impacts and torsional vibrations, reducing vibration and noise levels in the transmission system while enhancing the operational stability and reliability of equipment1.
- Enhance startup capability For some large-inertia machinery, direct starting often requires significant inrush current and power. In contrast, a fluid coupling allows the working machinery to gradually accelerate during startup, reducing both the inrush current and the impact on the power grid. At the same time, it also alleviates the load on the power source, thereby extending its service life.
- Overload Protection Function When the working machinery encounters an overload condition, the hydraulic coupling limits the transmitted torque through the slip phenomenon of the oil fluid, thereby preventing damage to both the power source and the working machinery caused by excessive load. This overload protection feature helps avoid unexpected equipment shutdowns and failures, ultimately enhancing production efficiency and ensuring greater equipment safety1.
- Easy to operate and maintain The hydraulic coupling features a relatively simple structure, lacking complex mechanical transmission components and wear-prone parts. As a result, operation and maintenance are both straightforward—simply require periodic checks of the oil quality and fluid level, along with routine maintenance and upkeep of the housing and connection points1.
