A hybrid propulsion system includes a heat engine configured to drive a heat engine shaft. An electric motor configured to drive a motor shaft. A transmission system is connected to receive rotational input power from each of the heat engine shaft and the motor shaft and to convert the rotation input power to output power. A first lubrication/coolant system is connected for circulating a first lubricant/coolant fluid through the heat engine. A second lubricant/coolant system in fluid isolation from the first lubrication/coolant system is connected for circulating a second lubricant/coolant fluid through the electric motor.

The present invention provides a motor, comprising: a housing; a motor stator located in the housing; a motor output shaft located in the housing; and an exhaust device connected to the housing and configured to exhaust air from the interior of the housing. According to an implementation mode of the present invention, a turbine device is mounted on the motor output shaft; when the motor rotates, an inner cavity of the motor is evacuated to be in a negative pressure state; the higher the motor speed, the lower the air pressure inside the motor, the higher the vacuum degree, and the smaller the frictional resistance between a rotor and the air, so that the motor speed can be effectively increased and a rotor having a relatively large diameter can be used, thereby enhancing the low speed torque while increasing the power density of the motor and facilitating the design of a high power motor.

An air pre-cleaning assembly includes a motor that has a stator and a rotor shaft assembly configured with a fan. The motor is disposed at the upstream of the fan, and rotation of the fan is configured to yield an air flow passing through the motor. A cyclone separating element on the upstream path of the air flow on the motor includes an air inlet, a separating chamber, a dust collecting chamber, and an air outlet. The separating chamber is communicated with the air inlet. The dust collecting chamber is communicated with the separating chamber and located at its outer periphery. The air outlet is communicated with the separating chamber and located at its inner periphery. The motor is located at the downstream of the air outlet. The cyclone separating element allows clean air filtered by cyclone filtering to pass through the motor via the air outlet.
