The invention relates to a hydraulic control system (21) for a dual wet clutch (1), having: housing (41) having an internal tube (42) extending axially around the axis X and configuring an internal space intended for passage of the two input shafts (2, 3) of a gearbox, and a first and a second annular chamber (43, 44) concentric around the axis X and disposed radially around the internal tube (42); a first and a second annular piston (45, 46), which are respectively mounted axially slidingly inside the first and the second annular chamber (43, 44), the first and the second annular piston (45, 46) each carrying a rotating stop (49, 50); the internal tube (42) having at least one flow conduit (55) for a cooling fluid, intended to direct the cooling fluid to the clutches (4, 5).

A lock-up device for a torque converter is configured to transmit a torque from a front cover to a transmission-side member through a turbine. The lock-up device includes a clutch portion, a piston and an elastic member. The clutch portion is disposed between the front cover and the turbine, and includes a clutch plate. The piston is movable in an axial direction. The piston includes a pressing surface for pressing the clutch plate. The piston turns the clutch portion into a torque transmission state. The elastic member is disposed on a same side as the pressing surface of the piston. The elastic member is begins to elastically deform before the pressing surface contacts the clutch plate in conjunction with movement of the piston toward the clutch portion.

A lock-up device for a torque converter transmits a torque from a front cover to a transmission-side member through a turbine. The lock-up device includes a clutch portion and a damper portion. The clutch portion includes a clutch plate and transmits the torque from the front cover toward the turbine. The damper portion includes an elastic member, a holding member and an output-side member. The elastic member attenuates a fluctuation in the torque. The holding member holds the elastic member and is provided with an engaging part integrated therewith. The engaging part is engaged with the clutch plate. The output-side member is rotatable relatively to the holding member within a range of a predetermined angle. The output-side member transmits the torque toward the turbine when the torque is transmitted to the elastic member through the holding member.

A dual clutch unit includes an outer disk carrier rotationally driven about a rotation axis, first and second inner disk carriers, first and second disk packs for torque transmission between the outer disk carrier and the respective inner disk carrier, wherein the first and second inner disk carriers are arranged rotatably relative to each other about the rotation axis, a central oil supply to supply the first and second disk packs with coolant, a first distributor channel being formed in the first inner disk carrier and comprising a feed opening through which the first distributor channel is fluidly connected to the central oil supply, a second distributor channel being formed in the second inner disk carrier and being fluidly connected to the central oil supply via the first distributor channel, and drain channels being formed in the inner disk carriers to conduct the coolant into the disk packs.

A control apparatus controls a driving force transmission device including: an electric motor; a pressing mechanism to convert the rotational force of the motor into an axial pressing force; friction clutches including friction members configured to come into frictional engagement with each other by the pressing force provided by the pressing mechanism. The driving force transmission device is configured to transmit a driving force between a pair of rotary members by the friction clutches. The apparatus includes: a target current calculating circuit to calculate a target current to be supplied to the motor, and a correction circuit to correct a voltage to be applied to the motor so as to reduce a difference between the target current and an actual current supplied to the motor. The correction circuit increases or reduces, in accordance with the actual current, the amount of correction of the voltage to be applied to the motor.

A number of variations may include a product including a stator assembly and/or a rotor assembly wherein at least one of the stator assembly and/or rotor assembly includes a central cavity, and at least two clutch assemblies, wherein at least a portion of each of the two clutch assemblies is received in the cavity. A number of variations may include a module wherein a plurality of clutches and electric motor are received in the same housing to form a module wherein the electromagnetic (motor performance and clutch performance can be tested prior to installing the module in a vehicle.

The present invention provides a modular transmission mechanism for a hybrid power system, and a hybrid power system; the modular transmission mechanism integrates a motor, a rotor support assembly, a clutch, a concentric slave cylinder, and an engine output shaft. On the one hand, the modular transmission mechanism enables an input/output bracket of the clutch to be in drive coupling with the engine output shaft, and the rotor support assembly to be in drive coupling with an input shaft of a transmission; on the other hand, the modular transmission mechanism enables the input/output bracket of the clutch to be in drive coupling with the input shaft of the transmission, and the rotor support assembly to be in drive coupling with the engine output shaft. In this way, the modular transmission mechanism according to the present invention can realize a conversion of the hybrid power system between a P1 architecture and a P2 architecture only by simple adjustment on the structure, thereby reducing the research and development cost and burden consumed by separately developing the P1 architecture and the P2 architecture.

This clutch control device is provided with: a supply valve and a supply valve control unit, which control the supply of an operating fluid to a pressure chamber; a first discharge valve and a first discharge valve control unit, which control the discharge of the operating fluid in the pressure chamber; and a second discharge valve and a second discharge valve control unit, which control the discharge of the operating fluid in the pressure chamber. When it is determined that the engagement and disengagement switching of a clutch device 2, which is necessitated by the discharge of the operating fluid in the pressure chamber, is required, the first discharge valve is controlled to be opened and then the second discharge valve is controlled to be opened.
