Publication number: 20250274015Abstract: A hydraulic module for a drive unit of a motor vehicle, including a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, an electronics unit, a suction opening formed on a pump housing of the hydraulic pump, and a delivery outlet located at the end of a delivery riser, which is formed on the side of the pump housing remote from the suction opening. An assembly includes an oil pan and such a hydraulic module. The connection socket extends through a connection opening in the bottom of the oil pan and in that the hydraulic module is screwed to the bottom of the oil pan such that the edge of the suction opening is pressed against the bottom of the oil pan.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2025Publication date: August 28, 2025Applicant: VALEO EMBRAYAGESInventors: Manuel MERKLE, Anton SAUTER, Roland STOESSEL, Patrick GEGNER, Gerd ROTTENBACH

Patent number: 12326189Abstract: An oil supply system for a machine, such as for a power unit of a motor vehicle, with a module body made of plastic including a collection tank which is divided into a prechamber and a main chamber. A predelivery pump can extract oil from the prechamber and pump it into the main chamber, a main delivery pump can extract oil from the main chamber and pump it to the machine, and a return line can return oil from the machine to the prechamber and/or the main chamber. A power unit for a motor vehicle can include such an oil supply system, wherein a predelivery suction opening is arranged on the floor of the prechamber and a main delivery suction opening is arranged on the floor of the main chamber, and the power unit is configured to be mounted in the motor vehicle with an orientation such that a line running through the two suction openings is arranged approximately parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2023Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: Valeo Powertrain GmbHInventors: Kevin Heider, Matthias Pfister, Michael Krause, Joachim Hoch, Roland Stoebel, Rolf Seidl, Vladimir Nickel, Katrin Ebert, Patrick Gegner

Patent number: 12117047Abstract: A hydraulic assembly with a lubricant output, a control output and a pump which can supply a hydraulic fluid flow to the lubricant output and the control output. A switching valve with structurally predefined hysteresis is arranged between a pump output and the control output of the hydraulic assembly. Depending on the pressure in the branch between the pump output and the control output, the valve can be switched between an open position in which the control output is connected to the pump output, and a blocking position in which the control output is blocked off. The switching valve switches from the open position to the blocking position when the pressure provided by the pump exceeds an upper switching threshold, and returns from the blocking position to the open position when the pressure provided by the pump falls below a lower switching threshold. A clutch can be switched by means of such a hydraulic assembly, and a method for actuating the clutch.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: FTE AUTOMOTIVE GmbHInventors: Christian Sperber, Benjamin Wüchner, Patrick Gegner
