Abstract

A lubrication system of a transmission includes a plurality of oil passages formed in an upper portion of a transmission case and supplied with churning oil, a plurality of oil outlets branched from respective oil passages formed in the transmission case and allowing oil supplied from the oil passages to free-fall, and an oil collecting portion formed at an interior of the case wall between the gear case and the motor case. In particular, the oil collecting portion collects oil free-falling from at least one oil outlet branched from at least one oil passage at the gear case, through a through-hole formed at a case wall of the gear case, and then supplies the collected oil to an exterior lubrication portion.

Claims (12)

1. A lubrication system of a transmission having a transmission case which is an assembly of a gear case and a motor case and in which churning oil is circulated, the lubrication system comprising:

a plurality of oil passages formed in an upper portion of the assembly of the gear case and the motor case, and supplied with the churning oil;

a plurality of oil outlets branched from respective oil passages formed in the assembly of the gear case and the motor case, and configured to allow the churning oil supplied from the plurality of oil passages to free-fall; and

an oil collecting portion formed at an interior of a case wall between the gear case and the motor case, the oil collecting portion configured to collect the churning oil free-falling from at least one oil outlet of the plurality of oil outlets branched from at least one oil passage of the plurality of oil passages at the gear case, through a through-hole formed at a case wall of the gear case, and then configured to supply the churning oil to an exterior lubrication portion,

wherein the through-hole is formed at a motor side of the case wall such that the churning oil free-falling at the motor side is collected by the oil collecting portion,

wherein the oil collecting portion is integrally formed with the case wall of the gear case at a lower portion of the through-hole, and protrudes inward and outward from the case wall of the gear case through the through-hole, and

wherein the oil collecting portion is slanted downward from the motor side to a gear side of the case wall of the gear case and configured to guide the churning oil collected at the motor side toward the gear side.

2. The lubrication system of claim 1 , wherein at least one oil passage of the plurality of oil passages is formed in a central top of the assembly of the gear case and the motor case, and at least two oil passages of the plurality of oil passages are formed in parallel with the at least one oil passage and on opposite sides of the at least one oil passage.

3. The lubrication system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of oil outlets are formed slanted and downward from the respective oil passages formed in the assembly of the gear case and the motor case.

4. The lubrication system of claim 1 , wherein the through-hole is formed across the case wall of the gear case, at an upper portion of the case wall of the gear case.

5. The lubrication system of claim 1 , wherein a leading guider is formed at the case wall of the gear case along an exterior of a motor drive gear, and configured to guide the churning oil by a differential drive gear toward the plurality of oil passages.

6. The lubrication system of claim 1 , wherein an oil dispensing guider is formed at the case wall of the gear case, and configured to supply the churning oil to the plurality of oil passages.
