摘要:
A seal for use between the housing of an automatic transmission and the housing (can) of a transmission drive motor is disposed at each end of the drive motor housing. The seal includes a preferably metal annulus having inner and outer elastomeric ribbed seals secured thereto. The annulus, which defines a non-hardened “S” shape in cross section, maintains the shape and strength of the seal and the ribbed inner seal provides a fluid tight seal with the motor housing while the ribbed outer seal provides a fluid tight seal with the transmission housing.

A motor module is configured for attachment to a transmission housing of a modular transmission assembly. The motor module includes a motor and a support structure. The motor is configured for rotation about a central axis and extends between a first end and a second end. The support structure is operatively connected to the motor such that the support structure at least partially supports the motor. The support structure at least partially extends across the second end of the motor. The support structure is configured for internal attachment to the housing.

A motor/generator for a hybrid transmission includes a bearing support configured for attachment to the hybrid transmission. A stator can is bonded directly to the bearing support, possibly by welding. The motor/generator may further include a stator press-fit into said stator can. A method of assembling a hybrid transmission includes welding a stator can to a bearing support, forming a motor/generator housing. A stator is then pressed into the housing. A substantially-complete motor/generator is assembled by installing a rotor, a rotor hub, and a ball bearing into the housing, which are held in the motor/generator housing with a snap ring. The method may include rigidly attaching the substantially-complete motor/generator to a main case. The method may further include testing the substantially-complete motor/generator prior to transporting the motor/generator to a final place of assembly and rigidly attaching the motor/generator to the transmission main case.

A grounded clutch mechanism for a transmission includes a transmission housing and a backing plate fixedly secured to the transmission housing. The backing plate has a plurality of backing plate posts. A plurality of reaction plates have a plurality of radially-outward spline teeth configured to mate with the backing plate posts. Torque may be transferred between the backing plate and the reaction plates. The reaction plates do not transfer torque directly to the transmission housing. The backing plate may be radially symmetric with respect to an axis of rotation. A plurality of clutch plates may be configured to selectively transfer torque to the reaction plates. The clutch plates may be configured to be selectively rotatable with respect to the axis of rotation and the reaction plates are configured not to be rotatable with respect to the axis of rotation.

A cooling system for an electrically variable transmission includes an electric motor having a plurality of connectors. The plurality of connectors are each assembled within a plurality of connector openings in a terminal block. Fluid from within a passageway is supplied by a pressurized fluid source, and an orifice for the passageway is located adjacent to one of the plurality of connector opening. The fluid flowing from the passageway is directed onto one of the plurality of connectors.

A hybrid powertrain includes an engine driving an engine output member, such as a crankshaft. A damper is directly connected to the engine output member, and a transmission input shaft is directly connected to the damper, for common rotation therewith. A dry damper is configured to allow the hybrid powertrain to be characterized by a lack of either a flexplate or a flywheel. A method of manufacturing a hybrid powertrain is also provided, including assembling a fully-functional hybrid transmission at a first manufacturing facility and assembling a fully-functional engine by joining a dry damper to an engine at a second manufacturing facility different from the first. Each of the fully-functional engine and hybrid transmission may be tested separately from the other. The fully-functional engine and hybrid transmission may then be shipped to a common assembly facility, and dry-mated at the common assembly facility, forming an assembled hybrid powertrain.

A transmission system of a vehicle comprises a pump, an auxiliary pump, and a transmission. The pump pressurizes transmission oil when an engine is operating. The auxiliary pump operably coupled to the pump and located parallel to the pump that pressurizes the transmission oil when the engine is not operating. The transmission selects a gear ratio based on the pressurized transmission oil.
