Patent number: 11267328Abstract: A drive train (10) for driving a motor vehicle has a combustion engine (12) for providing purely mechanical drive for the motor vehicle. A transmission (16) can be coupled to the combustion engine (12) via a shaft unit (14) for transmitting torque between the motor vehicle transmission (16) and the combustion engine (12). A reserve volume (18) is between the combustion engine (12) and the motor vehicle transmission (16) and is penetrated by the shaft unit (14). The reserve volume (18) can accommodate a high-voltage electric machine for purely electric drive of the motor vehicle or a low-voltage electric machine (32) for applying an electrically generated assistance torque to the motor vehicle transmission (16). As a result, a hybrid functionality can be made available to an at least limited degree, with the result that a cost-effective drive train (10) configured for a hybrid motor vehicle is made possible.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AGInventors: Immo Stache, Leo Spiegel, Henrik Schrage

Patent number: 9614416Abstract: A drive module for a vehicle has a transmission (12) and an electric machine (11) that is coupled to an input shaft (16) of the transmission (12). An air-filled cavity (23) is formed between the electric machine (11) and the transmission (12). The electric machine (11) is an external-rotor motor with a rotor (24) that surrounds the stator (25). A fan impeller (31) rotates with the rotor (24) and draws air out of the air-filled cavity (23) in an axial direction, draws the air through windings (27) of the stator (25) for cooling, and subsequently conveys the air in the radial direction into a housing-side flow duct (34) in which heated air can be accumulated and via which the air can be returned toward the cavity (23). The heated air can be cooled in the region of the flow duct (34) and/or in the region of the cavity (23).Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2014Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c. F.

Patent number: 8757305Abstract: A hybrid drive arrangement for a vehicle with an internal combustion engine for driving, under engine power, and at least one electric machine (1), for electric driving, and with a double-clutch transmission. The electric machine (1) can be separated from the internal combustion engine by at least one separator clutch (3), in the form of a wet-operating, hydraulically actuated disk clutch. The outer disk carrier (4) of the separator clutch (3) and the outer disk carriers (5, 5A) of the two double clutches, of the double-clutch transmission, are connected and mounted on the transmission housing (6).Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignees: ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Dr. Ing. h.c.F.

Patent number: 8684873Abstract: A drive system (1) for a motor vehicle has a double clutch transmission (2), with two component transmissions (3, 4), a double clutch (5) and an output shaft (6). An internal combustion engine (7) optionally can be connected operatively to one of the component transmissions (3, 4) via the double clutch (5) to drive the output shaft (6). A gear drive (8) is arranged rotatably on the output shaft (6). An electric machine (9) can be connected operatively via the gear drive (8) to at least one fixed gear (16, 17, 21) of one of the component transmissions (3, 4) to drive the output shaft (6) and/or to recover kinetic energy from the drive system (1).Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2011Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.
