    摘要: A hybrid powertrain is provided that includes an engine operatively connected with an input member. The powertrain includes a transmission with first and second electric motor/generators, a differential gear set having multiple members, and selectively engagable torque-transmitting mechanisms. The input member, the output member, the engine and the motor/generators are selectively interconnected through the differential gear set by engagement of the torque-transmitting mechanisms in different combinations. An electronic controller controls the electric motor/generators, the engine and the torque-transmitting mechanisms to provide multiple operating modes between the input member and the output member, including an electric-only operating mode in which the engine is off and one motor generator acts as a motor to provide torque at the output member while the other electric motor/generator can remain substantially stationary, and another electric-only operating mode in which both electric motor/generators act as motors to provide torque at the output member.

    摘要: A method of making a motor stator core having a back iron and a plurality of teeth extending radially inward from the back iron includes providing the plurality of teeth and the back iron from oriented steel so that a magnetic flux transmission path is formed with superior properties in essentially one direction. At least one of the plurality of teeth and the back iron is annealed in selected portions so as to improve magnetic flux transmission in a second direction, different from the one direction.

    摘要: An electric motor power connection assembly diverts heat from an electrical conductor that carries electrical current between a power source and an electric motor. The electrical conductor is characterized by an effective cross-sectional area perpendicular to the direction of current flow and a length in the direction of current flow that is greater than the radius of a circle having the effective cross-sectional area. The “effective cross-sectional area” is the area perpendicular to the direction of current flow over which current is carried and thus depends on the cross-sectional shape and number of conductive components of the electrical conductor, which could be one or more wires. A heat diverting mechanism is positioned in thermal contact along the length of the electrical conductor to divert heat from the electrical conductor. The electric motor power connection assembly is suitable for use in a hybrid electro-mechanical transmission.

    摘要: A powertrain is provided with an input clutch that is disengagable to allow a transmission input member to rotate independently of engine speed under power of a motor and provide an alternative way to power vehicle accessories otherwise driven by engine torque, while still allowing the motor to start the engine. A powertrain having a parallel combination of input clutches including a friction input clutch and a selectable one-way clutch is provided, as well as a method of control of such a powertrain. Another method of controlling a hybrid vehicle powertrain includes starting the engine via torque from a motor with the input clutch biased in an engaged position. If vehicle operating conditions are more efficiently met without operating the engine, the input clutch is disengaged to so that torque is provided only by the motor to the output member and to vehicle accessories operatively connected to the input member.

    摘要: An electrically variable transmission includes: an input member to receive power from an engine; an output member; first and second motor/generators; and first and second differentially geared planetary gear sets each having first, second and third gear members. The input member is continuously connected to the first member of the first planetary gear set, and the output member is continuously connected to the first member of the second planetary gear set. The first motor/generator is continuously connected to the second member of the first planetary gear set, and selectively connected to the second member of the second planetary gear set. The second motor/generator is continuously connected with the third member of the second planetary gear set. A first torque transfer device selectively grounds the second member of the second planetary gear set. A second torque transfer device selectively connects the second member of the second planetary gear set to the second member of the first planetary gear set. An optional third torque transfer device selectively grounds the third member of the first planetary gear set. An optional fourth torque transfer device selectively connects at least two of the members together such that all members of the first planetary gear set rotate together at the same speed. An optional fifth torque transfer device selectively connects the third member of the first planetary gear set with the third member of the second planetary gear set.
