Drive unit

A drive unit includes: a rotating electric machine having a rotation axis extending in a horizontal direction; a rotating electric machine case; and a power conversion device. The power conversion device is arranged on one side of the rotating electric machine in an orthogonal direction. The power conversion device includes a first connector to which a first electric power line through which electric power supplied to the rotating electric machine and electric power supplied from the rotating electric machine flow are connected. The first connector is provided on a first end side and is arranged to protrude from the power conversion device at a predetermined angle in a direction away from the rotating electric machine in the orthogonal direction, as the first connector goes away from the power conversion device in the rotation axis direction, when viewed from above.

VEHICLE DRIVE APPARATUS AND VEHICLE DRIVE APPARATUS MANUFACTURING METHOD

A first rotation shaft (which is provided with a first gear) is assembled to a first case member so as to provide a first assembly. A second rotation shaft (which is provided with a second gear) and a third rotation shaft (which is provided with a third gear) are assembled to a support member so as to provide a second assembly. When the second assembly is assembled to the first assembly, the second assembly is rotatable around a third axis from a first position where the first gear and the second gear are located away from each other to a second position where the first gear and the second gear are in mesh with each other, and is positioned at the second position by using a positioning member.

Vehicle

Provided is a vehicle capable of suppressing vibration of a drive unit having an engine and a motor to be small and having high vehicle motion performance. The drive unit for travel of the vehicle includes an engine and a motor. The engine is a rotary engine and has an engine output shaft and an engine housing. The motor has a motor output shaft, a rotor, and a stator that are accommodated in a motor housing. The engine housing of the engine and the motor housing of the motor are directly joined to each other. The engine output shaft and the motor output shaft are directly joined to each other. The rotor of the motor has: a main body section that generates a rotational magnetic field with the stator; and a weight section that functions as a balance weight of the engine.

Hybrid module for a drive train of a motor vehicle, hybrid unit and method for assembling a hybrid module

A hybrid module includes a first, motor-side pre-assembly group and a second, transmission-side pre-assembly group. A separating clutch is arranged between the motor-side pre-assembly group and the transmission-side pre-assembly group, via which the pre-assembly groups can be connected in a torque-transmitting manner.

TORQUE TRANSMITTING SYSTEM WITH CONCENTRICALLY ARRANGED ROLLING BEARINGS, DRIVE UNIT, AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY

A torque transmitting system, a drive unit, and a drive assembly are provided. The torque transmitting system includes a torque transmitting element and a support element which supports it via rotary bearings. The torque transmitting element has a first connection device for coupling to a first assembly in a rotationally fixed manner and a second connection device for coupling to a second assembly. One of the two elements forms a substantially hollow cylindrical shoulder, and the respective other element forms the outer cylindrical face and, correspondingly thereto, the inner face of a hollow cylinder radially outwards. The shoulder is arranged between the outer face and the inner face in a radial direction. A first rotary bearing is arranged between the outer face and the shoulder, and a second rotary bearing is arranged between the shoulder and the inner face. By using the torque transmitting system, less axial installation space is.

DEVICE

A device includes a rotary electric machine, a liquid supply member configured to supply liquid to the rotary electric machine, and a facing member facing the rotary electric machine in an axial direction with the liquid supply member interposed therebetween. The liquid is supplied to the liquid supply member via the facing member.

ELECTRIFIED MILITARY VEHICLE

A military vehicle including an engine coupled to the chassis for providing mechanical power to the military vehicle, a motor/generator coupled to the engine, and an energy storage system including a battery electrically coupled to the motor/generator. The military vehicle is operable in a silent mobility mode with the engine inactive and the energy storage system providing power to the motor/generator to operate the military vehicle. The motor/generator and the battery are sized such that electrical power generation through engine drive of the motor/generator is greater than the power depletion through operation of the military vehicle in the silent mobility mode. The motor/generator can charge the energy storage system while the military vehicle is driving or stationary.
