Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An oil guide of a hybrid module for a vehicle which is arranged in a drivetrain between a drive unit, particularly an internal combustion engine, and an output. An electric machine is provided, and a rotor of the electric machine is connected to the output. A clutch is provided between the drive unit and the electric machine. The clutch has oil conducting elements in order to supply the electric machine with cooling oil. A further aspect of the invention is a hybrid module with such an oil guide.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An oil guide of a hybrid module for a vehicle arranged in a drivetrain between a drive unit and an output, wherein an electric machine is provided, and a rotor of the electric machine is connected to the output, comprising: a clutch between the drive unit and the electric machine; and oil conducting elements configured to supply the electric machine with cooling oil, wherein the clutch is a cone clutch having at least one outer friction ring and one intermediate friction ring, wherein the at least one outer friction ring is connected to the rotor, and wherein a cone of the cone clutch in an open state forms an oil guide to an axial end of the rotor, wherein, at the at least one outer friction ring, bores are provided at a tapered side of the cone to conduct cooling oil to an other axial end of the rotor. 2. The oil guide according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one outer friction ring is integrally formed with a rotor carrier of the rotor of the electric machine. 3. The oil guide according to claim 1 , further comprising a retaining ring for axial positioning of the clutch that protrudes in radial direction relative to the rotor to serve as a retaining element for cooling oil. 4. The oil guide according to claim 1 , wherein a return spring of the clutch is formed as cup spring, and orifices are provided at an inner diameter of the cup spring for controlling oil. 5. The oil guide according to claim 1 , wherein an oil baffle is provided at the clutch. 6. The oil guide according to claim 5 , wherein the oil baffle is mounted in or welded to the one inner friction ring or the one intermediate friction ring. 7. A hybrid module with an oil guide for a vehicle arranged in a drivetrain between a drive unit and an output, wherein an electric machine is provided, and a rotor of the electric machine is connected to the output, comprising: a clutch between the drive unit and the electric machine; and oil conducting elements configured to supply the electric machine with cooling oil, wherein the clutch is a cone clutch having at least one outer friction ring and one intermediate friction ring, wherein the at least one outer friction ring is connected to the rotor, and wherein a cone of the cone clutch in an open state forms an oil guide to an axial end of the rotor, wherein, at the at least one outer friction ring, bores are provided at a tapered side of the cone to conduct cooling oil to an other axial end of the rotor. 8. The oil guide according to claim 1 , wherein the drive unit is an internal combustion engine.
