A power transmission device includes a motor, a gear mechanism connected downstream of the motor and lubricated by oil, and a box. The box has a wall part that covers an outer circumference of the gear mechanism, and a jacket part that covers an outer circumference of the wall part. A cooling chamber, in which cooling liquid is introduced, is formed between the wall part and the jacket part. The cooling chamber includes a portion that overlaps with the gear mechanism when seen from a radial direction, and a portion that overlaps the gear mechanism when seen from an axial direction.

A hybrid drive unit (HY, G) for a motor vehicle includes a housing (GG), in which a torque converter (TC) and an electric machine (EM) are accommodated. The electric machine (EM) and the torque converter (TC) are arranged directly next to each other such that the electric machine (EM) is arranged at a first face end (TC1) of the torque converter housing (TCG). An oil guide shell (LS) at least partially encompasses a section of the torque converter (TC). The oil guide shell (LS) has an L-shaped cross-section including a first section (LS1) and a second section (LS2) and is arranged in such that the first section (LS1) partially encompasses a second face end (TC2) of the torque converter housing (TCG) and the second section (LS2) partially encompasses a circumferential surface of the torque converter housing (TCG).

Systems are provided for an axle housing comprising at least one dam. In one example, an axle housing, comprising a center portion including a cavity configured to house a differential assembly and at least one dam arranged in an arm portion that extends from the center portion and is configured to receive an axle shaft, wherein the at least one dam comprises a flow facilitating protrusion that extends from the dam panel in a direction away from the center portion.

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 pump stage assembly including at least two pump suction stages and at least one pump pressure stage. The pump suction stages and the pump pressure stage are arranged spaced apart from one another in a pump housing PG and have a common drive shaft. The pump suction stages are formed by a first assembly of intermeshing external gearwheels that lie in a first plane, and the pump pressure stage is formed by a second assembly of intermeshing external gearwheels that lie in a second plane. A first delivery volume flow can be drawn in from a first region of a dry sump by a first pump suction stage, and a second delivery volume flow can be drawn in from a second region of the dry sump by a second pump suction stage. The two delivery volume flows intermix in the pump housing before they reach an oil tank.

A traction transmission for purposes of transmitting the rotation of an input drive shaft to a rail wheel which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to an output drive shaft, has at least two transmission stages, in each case having at least one small gear or pinion, and at least one large gear, and has a transmission housing with bearings for the input drive shaft and the output drive shaft, and has transmission oil arranged in the transmission housing, wherein in the position of use the input drive shaft is arranged below the output drive shaft. The transmission housing has an attachment element for purposes of a pivotable arrangement about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the input drive shaft and output drive shaft.

A driving force transmitting device includes a case, an electric motor, and a gearbox. The electric motor includes an output shaft. The gearbox includes a spur gear that rotates coaxially with the output shaft. The case includes a partition wall, a first accommodating chamber accommodating the electric motor, and a second accommodating chamber that accommodates a second driven gear. The partition separates the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber from each other. The partition wall includes a connecting hole that connects the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber to each other. The connecting hole is located on one direction side in relation to the central axis of the output shaft. At least part of the connecting hole overlaps with the spur gear when viewed in a direction along the central axis.

A gear unit to be mounted in a vehicle includes a housing for storing oil, a partition disposed inside the housing, and a helical gear. The partition defines first and second oil chambers and has a through-hole allowing the first oil chamber to communicate with the second oil chamber. The helical gear disposed inside the first oil chamber rotates during running of the vehicle and has an angled tooth that draws inner and addendum circles defining a virtual circumferential plane. The through-hole coincides with a portion of the virtual circumferential plane in a direction parallel to a central axis of the helical gear. When the helical gear rotates in conjunction with the running of the vehicle, the oil flows from the second oil chamber into the first oil chamber so that an oil level of the first oil chamber becomes higher than that of the second oil chamber.

A vehicle includes a motor, a gear mechanism connected downstream of the motor, a box that has a motor chamber that houses the motor, a gear chamber that houses the gear mechanism and lubricating oil, and an exhaust pipe. A first cooling box, in which cooling liquid that cools the motor is introduced, is configured on an outer circumference of the motor. A second cooling box, which is connected so that cooling liquid can circulate between the second cooling box and the first cooling box, is configured on an outer circumference of the box. The motor chamber is arranged at a position spaced further apart from the exhaust pipe than the gear chamber.

An apparatus case of a driving force transmission apparatus includes a first case member having an accommodating chamber that accommodates a clutch mechanism including a friction clutch, a second case member combined with the first case member to form a storage chamber that stores lubricating oil, and a partition wall member that partitions the accommodating chamber and the storage chamber from each other. The partition wall member is retained by being sandwiched between the first case member and the second case member.
