  • Publication number: 20240117823
    Abstract: A supply device for an apparatus includes: a first flow path through which a fluid can flow; a first consumer which is arranged in the first flow path and can be supplied with the fluid via the first flow path; a pump which is arranged in the first flow path and by which the fluid can be pumped out of a reservoir through the first flow path; a throttle which is arranged in the first flow path upstream of the first consumer and downstream of the pump; a second flow path through which the fluid can flow and which is fluidically connected to the first flow path at a first connection point located in the first flow path upstream of the throttle and downstream of the pump; and a second consumer which is arranged in the second flow path and can be supplied with the fluid via the second flow path.

  • Patent number: 11231103
    Abstract: A lubricant supply for a powertrain in an electrically driven motor vehicle has a hydraulic oil pump, which can be driven by a drive actuator, a lubricant supply point and a lubricant reservoir. The hydraulic oil pump can generate a first lubricant volume flow from the lubricant reservoir to the lubricant supply point and a second lubricant flow volume from the lubricant supply point or an additional lubricant supply point in the lubricant reservoir. The drive actuator is an electric motor. The lubricant supply point is arranged in a traction motor with a rotor shaft and a motor housing. The additional lubricant supply location is disposed in a traction transmission. The lubricant supply points can be supplied with lubricant by way of the first lubricant volume flow.

  • Publication number: 20180229623
    Abstract: A system (18) for a transmission (16) of an electric vehicle, including: a pump (34), accumulator (36), control valve (38), sensor (40), check valve (42), and sequence valve (44). The accumulator (36) stores fluid from the pump (34). The control valve (38) modulates pressure to the transmission (16) from the pump (34). The sensor (40) is between the control valve (38) and transmission (16) and generates a signal. The check valve (42) is between the accumulator (36) and pump (34). The sequence valve (44) has: an input (56) communicating with the pump (34), an output (58) communicating with the accumulator (36), a closed position (44A) wherein flow is interrupted between the accumulator (36) and pump (34), and an open position (44B) wherein fluid from the pump (34) can be stored in the accumulator (36); and is movable between positions (44A, 44B) in response to changes in the sensor (40) signal.

  • Patent number: 9726235
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a freewheel (4) having an inner ring (38), an outer ring (40) and at least one wedging element (48) between the inner ring (38) and the outer ring (40), which can be moved from a wedging position, in which the wedging element (48) prevents rotation of the outer ring (40) relative to the inner ring (38) in a first circumferential direction (24), into a release position, in which the outer ring (40) can be rotated in an opposite, second circumferential direction (26) relative to the inner ring (38), wherein the wedging element (48) is preloaded into the wedging position by means of a spring element (64). The spring element (64) has an elongate spring body (66), which extends in a radial plane and has a corrugated profile in the radial direction (20, 22). The present invention furthermore relates to a freewheel arrangement (2) having a freewheel (4) of this kind.

  • Patent number: 9638269
    Abstract: A starter freewheel is provided. The starter freewheel has a first race, a second race, a wedging gap formed between the first and second races, at least one wedging element arranged in the wedging gap, and at least one further component. The further component is in rotary drive connection with one of the races. The component is formed by at least two sheet-metal parts connected to one another in sandwich-fashion. A freewheel arrangement having a starter freewheel of this kind is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9624989
    Abstract: A freewheel (4) having a first running ring (28), a second running ring (30), a clamping gap (32) formed between the first and second running rings (28, 30), and at least one clamping element (34) in the clamping gap (32), the clamping gap (32) being assigned a side wall (40; 52) on which the at least one clamping element (34) can be or is supported. A side (60; 64) of the clamping element (34) which faces toward the side wall (40; 52) and/or that side (68; 72) of the side wall (40; 52) which faces toward the clamping element (34) is provided with a friction-reducing, wear-reducing and/or corrosion-reducing coating (62, 66; 70, 74) or surface treatment.

  • Patent number: 9371871
    Abstract: A freewheel device having a switchable freewheel which may include a first race, a second race, locking elements arranged between the first and second races and a locking element cage for receiving the locking elements. The locking element cage may be rotated relative to the first race to a first rotational position in which the first race is in rotationally entraining connection to the second race via the locking elements and to a second rotational position in which the first race is not in rotationally entraining connection to the second race. The switching device may be formed by a first planetary gear, a second planetary gear and a switching drive.
