Lubricant drip pan for a transmission housing of a vehicle transmission

A lubricant drip pan for a housing for a vehicle transmission, comprising:

• a cup-shaped separating section that at least partially encloses a receiving area in which a receiving chamber for a rotating gear element in the vehicle transmission is defined when the drip pan is installed in the housing, wherein the cup-shaped separating section separates the receiving area from a lubrication collection area at a bottom of the drip pan in which a lubricant reservoir for the vehicle transmission is formed when the drip pan is installed in the housing;
• a suction section radially outside the separating section and partially lying in the lubricant collecting area, wherein the suction section comprises a suction port and at least partially delimits a suction chamber, which supplies lubricant from the lubricant reservoir when the drip pan is installed, into which the suction port opens;
• and
• a collecting section that at least partially defines a collecting chamber, wherein there is at least one intake on the collecting section configured to allow lubricant to be supplied therethrough to the collecting chamber, and/or at least one outlet configured to allow the lubricant to be removed therethrough from the collecting chamber.

• and
• a suction section radially outside the separating section and partially lying in the lubricant collecting area, wherein the suction section comprises a suction port and at least partially delimits a suction chamber, which supplies lubricant from the lubricant reservoir when the drip pan is installed, into which the suction port opens;
• wherein an inner wall of the at least one hollow section is interrupted at least once, in which drains are formed, each of which is tangential to the inner wall, running radially outward and transitioning into a pocket formed on the at least one hollow section, which is connected in each case by a passage to the exterior.
