Patent number: 11982214Abstract: An oil inlet of a motor communicates with a first end of an oil pump through a first passage. A first oil sump of the motor communicates with a second end of the oil pump through a second passage. When the oil pump is rotating, a port at the first end is an oil outlet of the oil pump, and a port at the second end is an oil inlet of the oil pump. The first end of the oil pump communicates with a second oil sump through a third passage with a first valve. The second end of the oil pump communicates with the second oil sump through a fourth passage with a second valve. In this way, when the oil pump is reversing, coolant may be input into a motor cavity and accumulate in the motor cavity, so as to cool motor components in an immersion manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2023Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jiangang Wang, Chaoqiang Wu, Hongbing Liu, Jun Chen, Hu Zhong

Patent number: 11971089Abstract: This application provides a two-speed transmission system. The two-speed transmission system includes a first fixed gear fastened on a first shaft, a first floating gear connected to a second shaft through rotation, a first connection mechanism, and a one-way clutch. The first connection mechanism is configured to implement connection or disconnection between the first floating gear and the second shaft. The one-way clutch is located between the first floating gear and the first connection mechanism. An inner surface of the one-way clutch is connected to the first floating gear. An outer surface of the one-way clutch abuts against the first connection mechanism. The outer surface of the one-way clutch is connected to the first connection mechanism. An acting force of the outer surface directly acts on the first connection mechanism instead of a tooth surface of the first floating gear, to reduce an impact on accuracy of gear transmission.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hu Zhong, Xueyu Mei, Huan Wang
