  • Publication number: 20240151307
    Abstract: A torque transmission unit is designed to be used in a hybrid transmission of a motor vehicle and includes a shaft configured to mechanically couple to a rotor of a rotary electric machine and a ratchet wheel for a parking lock device configured to block a rotational movement of the torque transmission unit. The rachet wheel includes teeth that, at least in part, have a greater hardness than the shaft. The ratchet wheel is rotationally fixed to the shaft rivets.

  • Patent number: 11646553
    Abstract: A method for installing a heavy and bulky switching module, in particular a static transfer switch, in an electrical cabinet, by way of an installation kit to make the switching module easily removable and interchangeable, regardless of its size and weight. The electrical cabinet is equipped with the installation kit including at least two support rails, extendable between an extended position outside, and a retracted position inside, the electrical cabinet, and forming two parallel rolling paths. The switching module is equipped with rollers in two parallel rows, arranged to circulate on the rolling paths to enable movement of the switching module relative to the electrical cabinet by pushing and pulling with minimal effort. A raised transport pallet is also used to facilitate handling of the switching module outside of the electrical cabinet by a simple industrial truck, without resorting to a lifting device.

  • Patent number: 11479106
    Abstract: A hybrid module includes a first, motor-side pre-assembly group and a second, transmission-side pre-assembly group. A separating clutch is arranged between the motor-side pre-assembly group and the transmission-side pre-assembly group, via which the pre-assembly groups can be connected in a torque-transmitting manner.

  • Patent number: 11173779
    Abstract: A drive unit for a powertrain of an electrically driveable motor vehicle is disclosed having a first electrical machine and a second electrical machine and an output shaft, wherein a rotor of the second electrical machine is connected to the output shaft for conjoint rotation. The drive unit also has a disconnect clutch, by which a rotor of the first electrical machine for torque transmission is connectable to the output shaft, wherein the rotor of one of the electrical machines is at least indirectly supported radially on the rotor of the other electrical machine by at least one bearing.

  • Publication number: 20210010569
    Abstract: A hybrid module for a drivetrain of a motor vehicle comprises a drive shaft which can be driven by an internal combustion engine and a connecting shaft which can be driven by an electric motor. The shafts can be connected to one another in a torque-transmitting manner by an endless traction means, wherein an eccentric tensioner is used to tension the endless traction means. A drivetrain for a motor vehicle is disclosed with an electric machine and an internal-combustion engine which are connected to one another via a hybrid module.
