Systems and methods for selectively cooling a vehicle fluid are disclosed. Particularly, systems and methods for selectively cooling axle fluid of a vehicle are disclosed. By selectively cooling the axle fluid, energy is conserved by avoiding continuously circulating the axle fluid through a cooling system when a temperature of the axle fluid does not satisfy a selected criteria. The systems and methods also disclose selectively heating a fluid, such as an axle fluid, such as upon startup of the vehicle, and selectively cooling the axle fluid once operation of a power source of the vehicle, such as an engine of the vehicle, has ceased.

A device for a vehicle including: a memory configured to store mapping data including machine learning data defining a mapping that uses an estimation variable that is a variable indicating a vehicle operation status of the vehicle and a detection value of a sensor detecting an oil temperature of a power transmission device as input variables, and uses an element corresponding to the input variables as an output variable; and a processor configured to: acquire the input variables; use the mapping to acquire the element as the output variable of the mapping corresponding to the input variables; and determine based on the element whether the detection value becomes equal to or higher than a threshold value due to occurrence of an abnormality in the power transmission device or a mode of vehicle operation by the driver of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes: an electric motor; and a temperature-control circuit through which a non-conductive temperature-control medium for temperature control for the electric motor circulates. The temperature-control circuit includes: a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the non-conductive temperature-control medium and a conductive temperature-control medium; and a pump driven in accordance with driving of the vehicle to circulate the non-conductive temperature-control medium. The temperature-control circuit further includes a liquid pressure holding unit configured to hold liquid pressure of the non-conductive temperature-control medium in the heat exchanger equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure.

A powertrain-cooling system of a hybrid vehicle may include an electric oil pump, a pressure control valve, which includes an input port receiving fluid discharged from the electric oil pump, an output port outputting the fluid to a transmission while adjusting the pressure of the fluid, and a drain port discharging a portion of the fluid in accordance with adjustment of the pressure of the fluid, a first motor cooling path connecting the drain port of the pressure control valve to a first motor forming a hybrid powertrain, and a controller electrically connected to the electric oil pump and configured for controlling the electric oil pump to cool the transmission and the first motor.

A drive device including: a motor; a transmission device including a reduction gear; a housing; an electric oil pump; and a control unit including a motor control unit and an electric oil pump control unit. The electric oil pump control unit includes: control mode switching means that, in oil supply processing, switches between and executes a normal control mode in which the output of the electric oil pump is changed in a plurality of stages according to the temperature of the stator or the rotor, and a startup mode in which the electric oil pump is operated at a maximum output in the normal control mode for a predetermined time at the start of power supply; and pump driving means that operates the electric oil pump.

Methods and systems are provided for integrating a gearbox into an electric motor. In one example, a system may include enclosing a gearbox containing a planetary gear set and a differential within an envelope of a rotor of the electric motor.

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body provided with a travel device; a prime mover provided in the vehicle body; a transmission device capable of speed-changing a driving force from the prime mover and transmitting the driving force to the travel device; a transmission case housing the transmission device and being filled with lubricating oil; and a control device capable of switching between a warm-up operation mode in which a gear of the transmission device is rotated in a state in which transmission of power from the transmission device to the travel device is blocked and a travel operation mode in which the gear is rotated in a state in which the power is transmitted from the transmission device to the travel device.

A housing of a drive device includes a refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows. The refrigerant flow path includes a first flow path, a second flow path, and a connection flow path. The refrigerant to be sent from a pump flows through the first flow path. The refrigerant to be supplied to the motor portion flows in the second flow path. The first flow path and the second flow path are connected to the connection flow path. At least a part of the connection flow path is disposed in the motor accommodation space for accommodating the motor portion.

A drive system for a tiltrotor aircraft operable to transition between rotary and non rotary flight modes. The drive system includes an engine to provide rotational energy and a proprotor assembly to receive rotational energy from the engine when the tiltrotor aircraft is in the rotary flight mode. The proprotor assembly is disengaged from the engine in the non rotary flight mode. The drive system includes a proprotor gearbox including one or more gears mechanically interposed between the engine and the proprotor assembly. The proprotor gearbox transfers rotational energy from the engine to the proprotor assembly when the tiltrotor aircraft is in the rotary flight mode. The drive system includes a lubricant operable to reduce friction between the gears and a lubrication management system to affect a temperature of the lubricant to enhance lubrication between the gears in the proprotor gearbox in the rotary flight mode.

A gear system includes at least one gear stage, a pump system and oil channels for circulating a first lubricant oil flow via first elements of the gear stage and a second lubricant oil flow via second elements of the gear stage, and an oil conditioning system for controlling temperatures of the first and second lubricant oil flows so that the temperatures of the first and second lubricant oil flows are different from each other and flow rates of the first and second lubricant oil flows are different from each other. Thus, it is possible to utilize for example the fact that bearings do not need as much oil flow as gear wheels but, on the other hand, lowering oil temperature of the bearings provides more advantages than lowering oil temperature of the gear wheels.
