Vehicle electric drive module with thermal management system
An electric drive module (EDM) configured to generate and transfer drive torque to a driveline for propulsion of an electric vehicle. The EDM includes a gearbox assembly, an electric motor having a rotor and a stator, and a thermal management system. The thermal management system includes a fluid circuit configured to supply a fluid to the gearbox assembly, the rotor, and the stator, and a pump configured to direct the fluid through the fluid circuit. A valve is disposed on the fluid circuit and configured to selectively move between (i) a closed position where the fluid is not supplied to the stator, and (ii) an open position where the fluid is supplied to the stator for cooling thereof.
Motor unit with oil colling passage
A motor unit includes a motor including a rotor to rotate about a motor axis, and a stator radially outside of the rotor, a reduction gear connected to the motor, a differential connected to the motor through the reduction gear, a housing including a housing space to house the motor, the reduction gear, and the differential, and an oil passage to lead an oil to the motor. The oil passage includes an electric pump and a cooler. The electric pump and the cooler are fixed to the housing. The electric pump includes a portion located vertically below the cooler.
Left-right wheel drive device
The disclosed left-right wheel drive device (30) includes first tubular surface portions (21), second tubular surface portions (22), and third tubular surface portions (23). The first tubular surface portion (21) is formed into a tubular surface shape along an outer circumference of a driven gear (8). The second tubular surface portion (22) is formed into a tubular surface shape along an outer circumference of a first counter gear (4). The third tubular surface portion (23) is formed into a tubular surface shape along an outer circumference of the first counter gear (4). The upper surface portion (24) is formed into a surface shape connected to an upper end of the third tubular surface portion (23), is arranged over the first bearing (23), and includes a first oil hole (25) that supplies lubricant to the first bearing (27).
Oil-water double-cooling electric drive assembly, and new energy automobile
An electric drive assembly with oil/water dual cooling is provided that includes a motor module, a gearbox module, a water cooling module and an oil cooling module. Lubricating oil is introduced into the front and rear windings of the motor through three oil conveying passages to improve the cooling performance of the motor. Moreover, the gearbox cavity and the motor cavity do not need to be sealed, which avoids the use of high-speed oil seal of motor shaft, and thus the cost of the drive assembly is reduced and the transmission efficiency is improved. The cooling fluid of the motor cools the lubricating oil through the heat exchanger of the gearbox, thereby solving the heat dissipation problem when the gearbox of the new energy vehicle operates at high speed constantly, and thus improving the service life and reliability of the gear and bearing.
Strain Wave Gear System
A strain wave gear system (10) includes first and second sets of ball bearings (80,82) located intermediate a flange (84) and a retainer plate (88) rotatable with an output (54) and a radially oriented flat disc (74) of the input including strain relief (76). Strain relief (76) is a helical slot in a coupling (70) located radially within the wave generator (94) and the ring gear (22). The ring gear (22) is sealed by a sealing system including sealant (42) forced by a protrusion (34) of the cap (24) entering into a cavity (36) through a channel (40) into a relief volume (38) of the housing (12). The bearing (48) rotatably mounting the housing (12) to the output (54) is lubricated by a lubricating system including plungers (110) threadably received in axial bores (102) intersecting with radial bores (104) in communication with radial holes (47) of the bearing (48).
GEARBOX ASSEMBLY WITH LUBRICANT EXTRACTION VOLUME RATIO
A gearbox assembly includes a gearbox having a gear assembly and a gutter for collecting a gearbox lubricant scavenge flow from the gearbox. The gutter is characterized by a lubricant extraction volume ratio between 0.01 and 0.3, inclusive of the endpoints. The lubricant extraction volume ratio is defined by
