    摘要: Powertrain, comprising an inverter unit comprising an inverter configured for converting direct current to alternating current and an inverter housing defining an inverter housing interior volume accommodating the inverter, and an electric motor comprising a rotor and a stator, the rotor defining a motor axis and the electric motor being configured for providing torque, and an electric motor housing, and a reducing gear unit comprising a reducing gear and a reducing gear cover surrounding the reducing gear, the reducing gear defining an output reducing gear axis, wherein the output reducing gear axis is parallel to the motor axis, and in that the reducing gear cover and the inverter housing are arranged at opposite ends of the electric motor with respect to the motor axis, and in that the inverter housing comprises a cut-out, wherein the cut-out defines a cut-out region fully contained within the convex hull of the inverter housing, wherein the cut-out region is disjoint from the inverter housing interior volume, and in that the output reducing gear axis passes through the cut-out region without passing through the inverter housing interior volume. Inductive charging module may be rigidly attached to at least one of the inverter housing, the electric motor housing, the reducing gear cover, and the inductive charging module may be configured to utilize electric components of the inverter, and/or the inductive charging module may be configured to be cooled by a liquid cooling circuit cooling the inverter and/or the electric motor and/or the reducing gear unit.

    摘要: A drive unit includes: a rotating electric machine having a rotation axis extending in a horizontal direction; a rotating electric machine case; and a power conversion device. The power conversion device is arranged on one side of the rotating electric machine in an orthogonal direction. The power conversion device includes a first connector to which a first electric power line through which electric power supplied to the rotating electric machine and electric power supplied from the rotating electric machine flow are connected. The first connector is provided on a first end side and is arranged to protrude from the power conversion device at a predetermined angle in a direction away from the rotating electric machine in the orthogonal direction, as the first connector goes away from the power conversion device in the rotation axis direction, when viewed from above.

    摘要: A power transmission device of a four-wheel drive electrically driven vehicle comprises a transverse engine that is supported on one right side surface of two side surfaces of the gear case, and a motor that is supported on the other left side surface of the two side surfaces of the gear case. The power transmission device includes a transfer case that is supported by a gear case and the distributes power from a power source between the left and right front wheels and the left and right rear wheels. The transfer case wraps around from the side surface to a rear surface of the gear case, as seen from above, and outputs power to the left and right rear wheels from the rear surface side of the gear case.
