Transmission for a motor vehicle
A transmission for a motor vehicle includes a housing with a gear set with a transmission input shaft and a transmission output shaft, and with a lubrication system, which includes a conveyor for conveying a lubricant mixture from the housing. A dry-sump lubrication can be brought about with the aid of the conveyor. A negative pressure in the housing is controllable in order to reliably bring about the dry-sump lubrication.
1. A transmission for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a housing with a gear set with a transmission input shaft and a transmission output shaft, and with a lubrication system, which comprises a conveying means for conveying a lubricant mixture from the housing,
wherein a dry-sump lubrication can be brought about with the aid of the conveying means,
wherein a negative pressure in the housing is controllable in order to reliably bring about the dry-sump lubrication,
wherein the lubrication system comprises a lubricant reservoir with a separator configured to materially separate the lubricant mixture into lubricant and air, and
wherein the negative pressure is controllable with the aid of a first throttle configured for the lubricant to flow through and/or with the aid of a second throttle configured for the air to flow through and/or with the aid of a third throttle of the lubrication system configured for the air to flow through.
2. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the negative pressure in the housing is controllable with the aid of the first throttle, the second throttle, and/or the third throttle formed in the lubrication system.
3. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the conveying means is an electric pump.
4. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the separator is a centrifuge.
5. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the first throttle, the second throttle, and/or the third throttle are controllable.
6. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the second throttle is connected to the housing so as to allow flow-through.
7. The transmission according to claim 6 , wherein the second throttle is configured to be screwed into the housing.
8. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the lubrication system comprises a compensating reservoir, which is formed between the lubricant reservoir and the housing.
9. The transmission according to claim 8 , wherein the third throttle is configured to control the negative pressure and a positive pressure in the lubricant reservoir.
10. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing ring of the transmission is configured to be adapted to the negative pressure.
11. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the lubrication system comprises at least one lubricant filter.
