Abstract

An engine clutch motor coupling structure for a hybrid transmission is disclosed. The motor coupling structure couples a retainer of the engine clutch with a rotor of a motor in the hybrid transmission, and includes at least one damping unit installed in the axial direction of the rotor in a rim of the retainer between an end of the rotor and the rim of the retainer, and connected with the end of the rotor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engine clutch motor coupling structure for a hybrid transmission for coupling a retainer of the engine clutch with a rotor of a motor in the hybrid transmission, the motor coupling structure comprising:
at least one damping unit installed in an axial direction of the rotor in the retainer between an end of the rotor and the retainer, and connected with the end of the rotor;
wherein the end of the rotor includes a plurality of crowns protruding therefrom, and an edge portion of the retainer includes a plurality of radial protrusions being inserted among the crowns, and
the at least one damping unit is coupled with the plurality of radial protrusions in the axial direction of the rotor and connected with an axial restraint among the crowns;
wherein the at least one damping unit comprises:
a washer coupled with a mounting hole formed in one of the plurality of radial protrusions in the axial direction of the rotor, and
a coupling pin fitted in the washer and axially coupled with the axial restraint; and

wherein the plurality of crowns are provided with a snap ring for supporting an axial compression repulsive force of the washer.

2. The motor coupling structure of claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one damping unit comprises a plurality of damping units disposed at intervals of 90° angles along a rotational direction of the rotor.

3. The motor coupling structure of claim 1 , wherein:
the plurality of crowns protrude along an axial direction of the rotor and are formed to be spaced in a concave-convex form along a rotating direction of the rotor, and
the plurality of radial protrusions protrude along a radial direction of the retainer, and are formed to be spaced in a concave-convex form along the edge direction of the retainer.

4. An engine clutch motor coupling structure for a hybrid transmission for coupling a retainer of the engine clutch with a rotor of a motor in the hybrid transmission, the motor coupling structure comprising:
a plurality of crowns protruding along an axial direction of at the end of the rotor and spaced along a circumferential edge of the rotor;
a plurality of radial protrusions extending from an edge portion of the retainer along a circumferential edge and inserted among the crowns;
a washer coupled with a mounting hole formed in at least one radial protrusion in the axial direction of the rotor; and
a coupling pin fitted into the washer and axially coupled with an axial restraint among the crowns;
wherein the washer comprises;
a washer body fitted into the mounting hole,
a first flange integrally formed on one side of the washer body and supporting one surface of one of the plurality of radial protrusions, and
a second flange integrally formed on the other side of the washer body and supporting an opposing surface of one of the plurality of radial protrusions and the axial restraint.

5. The motor coupling structure of claim 4 , wherein:
the washer body is formed with a coupling hole connected with the first and second flanges and coupled with the coupling pin in the axial direction of the rotor.

6. The motor coupling structure of claim 5 , wherein:
the axial restraint is formed with a coupling groove coupled with the coupling pin in the axial direction of the rotor.

7. The motor coupling structure of claim 4 , wherein:
the crowns are provided with a snap ring for supporting an axial compression repulsive force of the washer.

8. The motor coupling structure of claim 7 , wherein:
the crowns are provided with a mounting groove in which the snap ring is fitted.
