Vehicle driving force distribution device
09759308 · 2017-09-12 · ·

A vehicle driving force distribution device includes: a differential gear; a driving force transmission device; and a case member having a first accommodating chamber accommodating the differential gear and a second accommodating chamber accommodating the driving force transmission device. The case member has a first flow passage that allows lubricating oil to flow from the first accommodating chamber into the second accommodating chamber, and a second flow passage that allows lubricating oil to flow from the second accommodating chamber into the first accommodating chamber. In a two-wheel drive mode, lubricating oil flows from the second accommodating chamber into the first accommodating chamber through the second flow passage. In a four-wheel drive mode, lubricating oil flows from the first accommodating chamber into the second accommodating chamber through the first flow passage.

DUAL-MOTOR ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL METHOD

A dual-motor transmission therefor, comprising a first and a second electric traction motor, a first gear arrangement, a second gear arrangement, and a summation box. The first gear arrangement includes a shaft and at least a first gear and a second gear, wherein each of the first and the second gears can be selectively engaged and disengaged with the shaft via a clutch, and the first gear arrangement supplies a first torque from the first motor to the summation box. The second gear arrangement includes a shaft and at least a first gear, wherein the first gear can be engaged and disengaged with the shaft via a clutch, and the second gear arrangement supplies a second torque from the second motor to the summation box, and the summation box is configured to combine the first and second torques and to output a combined output torque.

Drive assembly with lubricant reservoir

A drive assembly for a motor vehicle includes a housing having a transmission housing chamber, a reservoir, and a clutch housing chamber. At least one of the transmission housing chamber or the clutch housing chamber are fluidically connected to the reservoir. A transmission is disposed in the transmission housing chamber. A clutch is disposed in the clutch housing chamber. The clutch is drivingly connected to the transmission. An actuator has an actuating element engaged with the clutch. The clutch is moveable by the actuating element between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A valve is operatively connected to the actuating element of the actuator to allow lubricant flow from the reservoir to at least one of the transmission housing chamber and the clutch housing chamber when the clutch is in the engaged position and to prevent lubricant flow from the reservoir when the clutch is in the disengaged position.
