A vehicular power transmitting system including a power transmitting member, an oil pump, and an oil piping assembly, and the oil piping assembly includes an oil piping body having an oil inlet and fixed, and a branch pipe. The branch pipe has a width direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the oil piping body, and includes proximal and distal end portions. The proximal end portion is connected to the oil piping body, and the distal end portion has a delivery nozzle from which the oil is delivered toward the lubricated portion. The branch pipe has an opening formed in the proximal end portion, for communication of the branch pipe with the oil piping body, the opening having a dimension in a width direction of the branch pipe, which dimension is larger than a dimension of the distal end portion in the width direction of the branch pipe.

A transmission lubrication system for a vehicle providing a continuous return flow of a lubricant. The transmission lubrication system includes a differential housing, a transmission housing, a lubricant tank, a suction line, a lubricant pump, and an air suction pump. The transmission housing is connected to the differential housing in an air-tight manner and a lubricant through-passage is provided between the transmission housing and the differential housing. The lubricant tank is provided in the differential housing and has a lubricant suction opening in a lower region. The lubricant pump conveys lubricant from the lubricant tank through the suction line and conducts the lubricant to the lubrication points in the differential housing and transmission housing. The air suction pump pumps air from the lubricant tank into the transmission housing so that an excess air pressure is maintained in the transmission housing.

A power transmission device includes: a gear; a case receiving the gear; and a baffle plate positioned between the gear and the case; the baffle plate including a guide portion arranged to guide an oil scooped up by the gear, into between the baffle plate and the case, and the guide portion being disposed above an oil level within the case, the guide portion being adjacent to an axial side surface of the gear, the guide portion being positioned in the baffle plate on an upstream side in a rotation direction of the gear, and the guide portion including a first bent portion which is positioned on a tip end side, and which is bent in a direction from the case toward the gear.

Embodiments of a cold start lubricant distribution system include a lubricant distribution circuit, which fluidly interconnects first and second actively-lubricated work vehicle assemblies onboard a work vehicle. A flow divider section is included in the lubricant distribution circuit and through which lubricant flow is apportioned between the first and second actively-lubricated work vehicle assemblies. A lubricant supply pump is further located in the lubricant distribution circuit upstream of the flow divider section. The cold start lubricant distribution system further includes a lubricant flow modification assembly operably in a cold start mode. When operating in the cold start mode, the lubricant flow modification assembly reduces a volume of lubricant flow supplied to the first actively-lubricated work vehicle assembly through the flow divider section relative to a volume of lubricant flow supplied to the second actively-lubricated work vehicle assembly through the flow divider section.

A drive axle assembly includes a motor; a first shaft and a second shaft. A right planet row mechanism is disposed on the first shaft, and a left planet row mechanism is disposed on the second shaft. A right sun gear of the right planet row mechanism is connected with the first shaft. A left sun gear of the left planet row mechanism is connected with the second shaft. The right sun gear has a right central oil passage and a right radial oil passage. The right central oil passage is in communication with the first shaft. The left sun gear has a left central oil passage and a left radial oil passage. The left central oil passage is in communication with the second shaft. The first shaft is in communication with the second shaft to supply oil to the second shaft.

Methods and systems for and electric driveline are provided. The electric driveline system, in one example, includes an electric drive unit with a planetary gearset that includes a first gearset component that is rotationally coupled to a first electric machine and a second electric machine. The electric drive unit additionally includes an output shaft rotationally coupled to a second gearset component in the planetary gearset, a first friction clutch configured to selectively brake a third gearset component in the planetary gearset, and a second friction clutch configured to selectively couple the first gearset component to an output shaft.

A power transmission device includes first and second drive shafts, a differential mechanism, a case, a pinion shaft, a pinion gear, and a bearing. The differential mechanism is connected to the second drive shaft. The differential mechanism includes a first side gear connected to the first drive shaft, a second side gear, first and second pinion mate gears that engage with the first and second side gears, first and second pinion mate shafts that respectively support the first and second pinion mate gears. The pinion gear includes small and large diameter gear parts. The bearing is positioned between the pinion shaft and the pinion gear, and is lubricated via an oil hole that is open facing an outside of the case at a small diameter gear part side. The small diameter gear part is positioned between the first and second pinion mate shafts in a circumferential direction.

A differential case includes an outer shell wall portion configured to accommodate a pinion gear therein, and a first groove is formed in an inner surface of the outer shell wall portion on a back surface side of the pinion gear. In addition, a convex portion is formed on the inner surface of the outer shell wall portion on the back surface side of the pinion gear, and the first groove is formed in the convex portion. Further, a diameter of the convex portion is equal to or larger than a diameter of a back surface of the pinion gear.

Systems for a differential are provided. The differential includes two sets of pinion gears with an asymmetric split tooth profile. A case of the differential includes a plurality of lubrication ports which open adjacent to untoothed sections of one set of pinion gears and in a drive mode and an outboard axial load is exerted on the corresponding set of pinion gears.

A vehicle drive device includes: a rotary electric machine; a drive transmission mechanism provided in a power transmission path connecting a rotor shaft of the rotary electric machine and a wheel; a first hydraulic pump driven by a driving force transmitted through the power transmission path; a second hydraulic pump driven by a driving force source independent of the power transmission path; a first oil passage that supplies oil discharged from the first hydraulic pump to a rotor bearing that supports the rotor shaft such that the rotor shaft is rotatable; and a second oil passage that supplies oil discharged from the second hydraulic pump to an inner peripheral surface of the rotor shaft.
