Abstract

A P1 hybrid module for a vehicle includes a housing, a motor stator, an input shaft, a resolver rotor, an output flange, a motor rotor, a housing plate, and a resolver stator. The housing is arranged for fixing to an engine and a multi-speed transmission. The motor stator is fixed to the housing. The input shaft is arranged for driving connection to a flange of a damper. The resolver rotor is fixed to the input shaft. The output flange is arranged for fixing to a torque converter. The motor rotor is rotatably fixed to the output flange. The housing plate is fixed to the housing by a first fastener. The resolver stator is fixed to the housing plate radially outside of the resolver rotor.

Claims (40)

1. A P1 hybrid module for a vehicle, comprising:

a housing arranged for fixing to an engine and a multi-speed transmission;

a motor stator fixed to the housing;

an input shaft arranged for driving connection to a flange of a damper;

a resolver rotor fixed to the input shaft;

an output flange arranged for fixing to a torque converter;

a motor rotor rotatably fixed to the output flange;

a housing plate, fixed to the housing by a first fastener;

a resolver stator fixed to the housing plate radially outside of the resolver rotor; and

a connector for electrically connecting the P1 hybrid module to the vehicle, the connector comprising a first annular seal and a second annular seal for sealing the connector to the housing.

2. The P1 hybrid module of claim 1 wherein the input shaft is fixed to the output flange.

3. The P1 hybrid module of claim 1 wherein the housing plate includes an annular portion arranged axially adjacent to the motor stator.

4. The P1 hybrid module of claim 1 wherein the motor rotor is rotatably fixed to the output flange by staking.

5. The P1 hybrid module of claim 1 further comprising the torque converter fixed to the output flange.

6. The P1 hybrid module of claim 1 further comprising a bearing arranged radially between and in contact with the input shaft and the housing plate, wherein the housing plate comprises a tubular portion for receiving the bearing.

7. The P1 hybrid module of claim 6 wherein:

the resolver rotor includes a resolver rotor outer diameter; and,

the bearing includes a bearing inner diameter, greater than the resolver rotor outer diameter.

8. The P1 hybrid module of claim 6 wherein:

the resolver rotor includes a resolver rotor outer diameter; and,

the bearing includes a bearing inner diameter, greater than the resolver rotor outer diameter.

9. A P1 hybrid module for a vehicle, comprising:

a housing arranged for fixing to an engine and a multi-speed transmission;

a motor stator fixed to the housing;

an input shaft arranged for driving connection to a flange of a damper;

a resolver rotor fixed to the input shaft;

an output flange arranged for fixing to a torque converter;

a motor rotor rotatably fixed to the output flange;

a housing plate, fixed to the housing by a first fastener; and,

a resolver stator fixed to the housing plate radially outside of the resolver rotor; and

a bearing arranged radially between and in contact with the input shaft and the housing plate, wherein:

the resolver rotor includes a resolver rotor outer diameter; and,

the bearing includes a bearing inner diameter, greater than the resolver rotor outer diameter.

10. The P1 hybrid module of claim 9 wherein the input shaft is fixed to the output flange.

11. The P1 hybrid module of claim 9 wherein the housing plate comprises a tubular portion for receiving the bearing.

12. The P1 hybrid module of claim 9 wherein the housing plate includes an annular portion arranged axially adjacent to the motor stator.

13. The P1 hybrid module of claim 9 further comprising a connector for electrically connecting the P1 hybrid module to the vehicle and comprising a first annular seal and a second annular seal for sealing the connector to the housing.

14. The P1 hybrid module of claim 9 wherein the motor rotor is rotatably fixed to the output flange by staking.

15. The P1 hybrid module of claim 9 further comprising the torque converter fixed to the output flange.

16. The P1 hybrid module of claim 15 wherein the torque converter comprises a plurality of studs extending through the output flange, each stud being fixed to the output flange by a respective nut.
