Abstract

A hybrid drive system for a motor vehicle includes an input shaft, which introduces torques from an internal combustion engine into the hybrid drive system and which is mounted rotatably around an axis of rotation. An output shaft is arranged coaxially to the input shaft. The system also includes an electric machine having a stator and a rotor, and a hub non-rotatably connected to the rotor. The system further includes a wet clutch which has a first actuating piston. The hub is formed as a one-piece forged part and has a first running surface for the first actuating piston. The wet clutch is provided to non-rotatably connect the hub to the output shaft.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hybrid drive system for a motor vehicle, the hybrid drive system comprising:
an input shaft which is coupled to an internal combustion engine, which introduces torques into the hybrid drive system, and which is mounted rotatably around an axis of rotation, wherein an axial direction is arranged parallel to the axis of rotation;
an output shaft arranged coaxially to the input shaft;
an electric machine having a stator and a rotor;
a hub non-rotatably connected to the rotor;
a wet clutch having a first outer lamella carrier, a first actuating piston and an associated first actuating chamber;
a separating clutch having a second outer lamella carrier, a second actuating piston and an associated second actuating chamber,
wherein the hub is a one-piece forged part and has a first running surface for the first actuating piston,
wherein the wet clutch is configured to non-rotatably connect the hub to the output shaft,
wherein the separating clutch is configured to non-rotatably connect the hub to the input shaft, wherein the hub forms a second running surface for the second actuating piston,
wherein the hub forms a second boundary for the second actuating chamber, wherein the second boundary has a radially inner second cylinder outer surface with respect to the axis of rotation,
wherein the second boundary has a second wall arranged perpendicularly to the axis of rotation,
wherein the hub forms a first boundary for the first actuating chamber, wherein the first boundary has a radially inner first cylinder outer surface with respect to the axis of rotation and a first wall arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation,
wherein the hub is non-rotatably connected to the second outer lamella carrier of the separating clutch and to a first inner lamella carrier of the wet clutch.

2. The hybrid drive system of claim 1 , wherein the hub comprises a first actuating oil duct configured to actuate the wet clutch and a second actuating oil duct configured to actuate the separating clutch.

3. The hybrid drive system of claim 2 , wherein the hub has a cooling oil duct configured to supply cooling oil to a first lamella set of the wet clutch.

4. The hybrid drive system of claim 3 , further comprising:
a bearing configured to radially mount the hub relative to the output shaft, wherein the bearing is arranged between the first actuating oil duct and the cooling oil duct, as viewed in the axial direction.

5. The hybrid drive system of claim 1 , wherein a first actuating device of the first actuating piston is directed opposite to a second actuating direction of the second actuating piston.

6. The hybrid drive system of claim 1 , wherein, in a region of the second cylinder outer surface, the hub forms a second seal receptacle in which a second seal is arranged to seal the second actuating chamber.

7. The hybrid drive system of claim 1 , wherein the hub forms a third cylindrical outer surface, and wherein the hub forms, in a region of the third cylindrical outer surface, a third seal receptacle in which a third seal is arranged to seal the second actuating chamber.

8. The hybrid drive system of claim 1 , wherein, in a region of the first cylinder outer surface, the hub forms a first seal receptacle in which a first seal is arranged to seal the first actuating chamber.

9. The hybrid drive system of claim 1 , wherein the first actuating piston and the second actuating piston are arranged between the second outer lamella carrier and the first outer lamella carrier, as viewed in the axial direction.
