The invention relates to a hybrid module including a clutch that includes a clutch actuator, also including an electric machine, an internal combustion engine end and a transmission end. The hybrid module is designed as a pre-assembled insertable module to be inserted into a transmission housing, and an actuator electronics module is already pre-mounted on the hybrid module. The invention further relates to a method for assembling a hybrid module, characterized in that the following step is carried out:pre-assembling the hybrid module as an insertable module, an actuator electronics module being pre-mounted on the hybrid module.

The present invention intends to provide a rotary tilling apparatus capable of separating a power transmission system starting from a flywheel to a passive movement device through an elastic coupler from another power transmission system starting from the flywheel to a rotor of a motor generator, and thereby reducing a load applied to the rotor and preventing the power transmission system of the passive movement device from providing an negative effect to an engine and the rotor. A parallel hybrid power transmission mechanism (1) includes an engine (2), a crank shaft (2A) disposed on the engine (2), a motor generator (3), a passive movement device (4) configured to receive a motive power of the motor generator (3), an input shaft (4A) disposed on the passive movement device (4), a flywheel (5) coupled to the crank shaft (2A), an elastic coupler (6) configured to couple the flywheel (5) to the input shaft (4A), and a rotor (7) disposed on the motor generator (3) and coupled to the fly wheel (5).

A charge termination system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a switch configured to transition from a first position to a second position and a charging circuit extending to an external power source. The switch in the first position permits the charging circuit to charge an electrified vehicle. The switch in the second position prevents the charging circuit from charging the electrified vehicle.

A vehicle body structure includes a first middle floor unit for a gasoline vehicle and a second middle floor unit for a hybrid vehicle, and the first and second middle floor units are made interchangeable with each other. A front floor unit and a rear floor unit are made shareable by the gasoline vehicle and the hybrid vehicle. That is, the front floor unit and the rear floor unit can be regarded as a platform. Additionally, the second middle floor unit includes a housing, and an IPU is stored in an interior of the housing.

A lubricating structure that includes a case, a center support, a bearing, an oil reservoir formed on the center support on a second side of the center support fixation portion in the axial direction to open on an upper side in a vertical direction, the second side being opposite to the first side, and an oil passage formed in the center support, one end of the oil passage opening in the oil reservoir, and the other end of the oil passage opening in a space between the clutch drum and the center support in the axial direction.

A control system for a hybrid vehicle to start an engine without causing a torque drop is provided. A combined planetary gear unit is configured in such a manner that an input element connected to the engine and an output element are situated between a reaction element connected to a first motor and a fixed element connected to a brake in a nomographic diagram. The first motor is selectively connected to the engine by a clutch. A controller is configured to start the engine by the first motor while engaging the brake to restrict rotation of the fixed element and engaging the clutch.

A drive unit for a hybrid vehicle an axial length thereof is shortened is provided. A power distribution device is disposed in an inner circumferential side of a cylindrical output gear, and at least a portion of a second clutch is also disposed in the inner circumferential side of the output gear while being adjacent to the power distribution device in an axial direction.

A cooling system for a power transmission unit that can cool a cooling site effectively is provided. The cooling system comprises: an oil pump; an oil cooler that cools the oil delivered from the oil pump; a first oil pipe for delivering the oil from the oil pump to the oil cooler; a second oil pipe for delivering the oil cooled by the oil cooler to a heat generating element. A housing chamber includes a high-temperature section where the heat generating element is arranged, and a low-temperature section. The second oil pipe is arranged in the housing chamber while passing through the low-temperature section, and an opening is formed on the second oil pipe in such a manner as to open toward the heat generating element.

A safety apparatus for a vehicle battery and a method for operating the same capable of preventing accidents such as fire and battery explosion are provided. The safety apparatus includes a fixed housing that is fixed to a vehicle body and a movable housing that is movably disposed in the fixed housing to move due to external impact. An impact sensor is disposed within the fixed housing configured to be fractured due to the movement of the movable housing and an elastic member is configured to provide a restoring force to the movable housing.
