Transmission for a Power Train of a Motor Vehicle, and Power Train Having Such a Transmission
A transmission for a power train of a motor vehicle has a first stationary housing part having a first axial contact surface, a second stationary housing part, and a first sealing element on the second stationary housing part, the first sealing element being axially compressible. Additionally, the transmission includes a first planetary gear set including a planet carrier, at least one planet gear, a sun gear, and a ring gear. The planet carrier is fixed relative to one or both of the first stationary housing part and the second stationary housing part. One side of the planet carrier rests against the first axial contact surface, where the first sealing element acts on another side of the planet carrier to axially preload the planet carrier against the first axial contact surface to prevent the planet carrier from tilting relative to a rotation axis of the first planetary gear set.
GEAR UNIT HAVING A HOUSING
A gear unit includes a housing, a trough for guiding oil and reducing losses due to splashing surrounding a circumferential section of a toothing part, particularly a gear wheel, especially in the radial and axial direction. The trough includes at least three parts, e.g., at least one bottom plate and two side walls, the bottom plate being screw-connected to the two side walls. The trough is fastened to the housing and includes an opening, particularly a channel, especially at its lowest surface area, e.g., particularly at the surface area having the greatest radial distance. In particular, during rotational movement of the gear wheel, oil is conveyed from the oil pan of the gear unit through the opening between the trough and gear wheel, especially to a position higher than the level of the oil pan. The bottom plate and the side walls are stamped bent parts.
MOTOR UNIT
A motor unit includes a motor including a rotor and a stator, a gear connected to the rotor, a housing including a housing space to house the motor and the gear, oil in a vertically lower region of the housing space, and an oil passage to lead the oil from the vertically lower region of the housing space to be fed to the motor. The housing space includes a motor chamber to house the motor; and a gear chamber to house the gear. The housing includes a partition to divide the motor chamber and the gear chamber. A bottom portion of the motor chamber is higher than a bottom portion of the gear chamber. A portion of the oil fed to the motor is in a vertically lower region of the motor chamber. A vertically lower region of the partition includes a partition opening to bring the gear chamber and the motor chamber into communication with each other. The partition opening is structured such that a rise in a liquid surface of the oil in the vertically lower region of the motor chamber causes an increase in an amount of transfer of the oil from the motor chamber to the gear chamber through the partition opening.
