Abstract

Connecting section for a two-part hub that support a driven shaft of a hybrid drive module having a first hub section and a second hub section. The connecting section can be arranged coaxially with the first hub section and the second hub section and can be arranged between the first hub section and the second hub section. The connecting section is designed as a sliding bearing.

Claims (37)

1. A connecting section for a two-part hub, configured to support a driven shaft of a hybrid drive module, comprising:

a first hub section; and

a second hub section,

wherein the connecting section is arranged coaxially with the first hub section so that a radially inner end of the connecting section is radially inside the first hub section,

wherein the connecting section is nonoverlapping with the second hub section,

wherein the connecting section is arranged axially between the first hub section and the second hub section, and

wherein the connecting section is a sliding bearing,

wherein the first hub section and the second hub section are each rotatable with respect to the connecting section.

2. The connecting section according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting section has a chamfer on an inner circumferential side.

3. The connecting section according to claim 1 ,

wherein an insertion section is arranged on an outer circumferential side of the connecting section, and

wherein the insertion section is configured for inserting the connecting section into the first hub section.

4. The connecting section according to claim 3 , wherein the insertion section is a step.

5. The connecting section according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting section is a plastics material.

6. A two-part hub configured to support a driven shaft, comprising:

a first hub section;

a second hub section; and

a connecting section,

wherein the connecting section is arranged coaxially with the first hub section so that a radially inner end of the connecting section is radially inside the first hub section,

wherein the connecting section is nonoverlapping with the second hub section,

wherein the first hub section and the second hub section are each rotatable with respect to the connecting section, and

wherein the connecting section is arranged coaxially with the first hub section and the second hub section.

7. The two-part hub according to claim 6 , wherein the first hub section has, at a first end, a receiving section, configured to receive the connecting section.

8. A hybrid drive module for a motor vehicle, comprising:

a two-part hub configured to support a driven shaft, comprising:

a first hub section;

a second hub section; and

a connecting section,

wherein the connecting section is arranged between the first hub section and the second hub section,

wherein the first hub section and the second hub section are each rotatable with respect to the connecting section, and

wherein the connecting section is arranged coaxially with the first hub section so that a radially inner end of the connecting section is radially inside the first hub section,

wherein the connecting section is nonoverlapping with the second hub section,

wherein the connecting section is arranged coaxially with the first hub section and the second hub section,

an electric machine; and

a torque converter;

wherein the second hub section comprises a turbine shaft of the torque converter.

9. The connecting section according to claim 1 , wherein the first hub section and the second hub section are each directly adjacent to the connecting section.
