    摘要: A drive module for a vehicle includes an input extending along an axis and configured to be driven by an engine. An electric motor has a rotor carrier hub configured to be rotated about the axis. The rotor carrier hub is non-rotatably connected to a torque converter cover and is selectively coupled to the input via a clutch. The rotor carrier hub has an inner surface defining an interior, an outer surface defining an exterior, and a plurality of holes extending through the rotor carrier hub from the inner surface to the outer surface to enable oil to transfer from the interior to the exterior. This provides a controlled and relative constant oil flow for cooling the drive module.

    摘要: A starter-generator module for a vehicle includes a bulkhead wall, a module housing fixed to the bulkhead wall, an e-motor stator fixed to the module housing, an e-motor rotor disposed radially inside of the e-motor stator, and a power electronics unit fixed to the module housing. The module housing has a first opening and the power electronics unit covers the first opening. The e-motor rotor has a rotor carrier arranged for fixing to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine. In an example embodiment, the rotor carrier includes holes arranged for receiving respective fasteners for fixing the rotor carrier to an engine crankshaft, and a bolt circle diameter of the holes is less than an inside diameter of the first opening. In an example embodiment, the rotor carrier is fixed to a crankshaft by a bolt, and the first opening is arranged for receiving a tool to secure the bolt.

    摘要: A hybrid module includes a housing, an electric motor, a hydraulic coupling, a first clutch, a second clutch, and a flow plate assembly. The housing is arranged for fixing to a planetary transmission and an engine. The electric motor is disposed in the housing. The electric motor has a stator fixed to the housing and a rotor rotatable relative to the housing. The hydraulic coupling is disposed in the housing and is at least partially radially inside of the electric motor. The first clutch is for drivingly connecting the rotor to the engine. The second clutch is arranged in parallel with the hydraulic coupling for drivingly connecting the rotor to an input shaft of the planetary transmission. The flow plate assembly is fixed to the housing. The flow plate assembly has a first flow plate with a first radial groove forming a first portion of a first radial flow channel, and a second flow plate, fixed to the first flow plate, forming a second portion of the first radial flow channel.

    摘要: A hybrid module is configured for arrangement in a torque path upstream from a transmission and downstream from an internal combustion engine. The hybrid module includes a hybrid drive unit including an electric motor including a rotor. The hybrid module also includes a torque converter and a connector non-rotatably fixing the rotor to the torque converter. The connector includes a first section non-rotatably fixed to the rotor, a second section non-rotatably fixed to the torque converter and a retainer axially fixing the first section and the second section together in an intermeshing arrangement so the first section and the second section are non-rotatably fixed together.

    摘要: A torque converter including an axis of rotation and a flange rotatable about the axis of rotation is disclosed. The torque converter includes a turbine shell independently rotatable about the axis of rotation relative to the flange. A first plate, disposed between the flange and the turbine shell, may be fixed to the turbine shell. A second plate, disposed between the flange and the turbine shell, may be radially outward relative to the first plate. The torque converter further includes a cover having an inner surface and a third plate disposed between the flange and the cover. The first plate may include at least one ramp protruding in an axial direction toward the flange, wherein the ramp is rotatably engageable with the flange for urging the flange axially in a direction toward the cover, and for transmitting an axial force for urging a clutch to engage.
