Abstract
An oil guide of a hybrid module for a vehicle which is arranged in a drivetrain between a drive unit, particularly an internal combustion engine, and an output. An electric machine is provided, and a rotor of the electric machine is connected to the output. A clutch is provided between the drive unit and the electric machine. The clutch has oil conducting elements in order to supply the electric machine with cooling oil. A further aspect of the invention is a hybrid module with such an oil guide.
Claims8
An oil guide of a hybrid module for a vehicle arranged in a drivetrain between a drive unit and an output, wherein an electric machine is provided, and a rotor of the electric machine is connected to the output, comprising:
- a clutch between the drive unit and the electric machine;
- and
- oil conducting elements configured to supply the electric machine with cooling oil,
- wherein the clutch is a cone clutch having at least one outer friction ring and one intermediate friction ring,
- wherein the at least one outer friction ring is connected to the rotor, and
- wherein a cone of the cone clutch in an open state forms an oil guide to an axial end of the rotor,
- wherein, at the at least one outer friction ring, bores are provided at a tapered side of the cone to conduct cooling oil to an other axial end of the rotor.
