Abstract

A stator assembly for a hybrid module includes a stator carrier, a stator segment, and a water jacket. The stator carrier has an inner cylindrical surface and the stator segment is installed in the inner cylindrical surface. The water jacket is fixed to the stator carrier to enclose a sealed chamber therebetween. The water jacket may be fixed to the stator carrier by a pair of circumferential welds at opposite ends of the sealed chamber. The stator assembly may include a fluid port fixed to the water jacket and arranged to guide a fluid into or out of the sealed chamber to cool the stator assembly.

Claims (44)

1. A stator assembly for a hybrid module comprising:

a stator carrier comprising an inner cylindrical surface;

a stator segment installed in the inner cylindrical surface; and

a water jacket is welded to the stator carrier to enclose a sealed chamber therebetween, wherein:

the stator carrier or the water jacket comprises a radial wall with an aperture; and

the stator assembly is secured to a transmission case for a multi-speed planetary transmission by a fastener installed in the aperture.

2. The stator assembly of claim 1 wherein the water jacket is welded to the stator carrier by a pair of circumferential welds at opposite ends of the sealed chamber.

3. The stator assembly of claim 1 further comprising a fluid port fixed to the water jacket and arranged to guide a fluid into or out of the sealed chamber to cool the stator assembly.

4. The stator assembly of claim 1 further comprising a resolver stator, wherein:

the stator carrier or the water jacket comprises an extension; and

the resolver stator is fixed to the extension.

5. The stator assembly of claim 4 wherein the resolver stator is fixed to the extension by riveting.

6. The stator assembly of claim 4 further comprising a high voltage bus bar electrically connected to the stator segment, wherein:

the extension comprises an opening for connecting the high voltage bus bar to a high voltage transmission connector.

7. The stator assembly of claim 1 wherein the stator segment is installed in the inner cylindrical surface by shrink fitting.

8. The stator assembly of claim 1 further comprising a resolver stator, wherein:

the water jacket is disposed radially outside of the stator carrier and fixed to the stator carrier by a pair of circumferential welds at opposite ends of the sealed chamber;

the water jacket comprises an extension extending axially away from the stator segment and radially inward; and

the resolver stator is riveted to the extension.

9. A hybrid module comprising:

the stator assembly of claim 8 ;

a rotor assembly disposed radially inside of the stator assembly, the rotor assembly comprising:

a rotor carrier;

a torque converter impeller fixed to the rotor carrier; and

a resolver rotor fixed to the torque converter impeller and axially aligned with the resolver stator.

10. A hybrid module comprising:

a stator assembly comprising:

a stator carrier comprising an inner cylindrical surface;

a stator segment installed in the inner cylindrical surface;

a water jacket fixed to the stator carrier to enclose a sealed chamber therebetween, the water jacket or the stator carrier comprising an extension extending axially away from the stator segment and radially inward; and

a resolver stator fixed to the extension; and

a rotor assembly comprising:

a rotor carrier;

a torque converter impeller fixed to the rotor carrier; and

a resolver rotor fixed to the torque converter impeller and axially aligned with the resolver stator.

11. The hybrid module of claim 10 , wherein the water jacket is disposed radially outside of the stator carrier and fixed to the stator carrier by a pair of circumferential welds at opposite ends of the sealed chamber.

12. The hybrid module of claim 10 wherein:

the water jacket comprises the extension; and

the resolver stator is riveted to the extension.

13. The hybrid module of claim 10 further comprising a fluid port fixed to the water jacket and arranged to guide a fluid into or out of the sealed chamber to cool the stator assembly.

14. The hybrid module of claim 10 , wherein:

the stator assembly further comprises a high voltage bus bar electrically connected to the stator segment; and

the extension comprises an opening for connecting the high voltage bus bar to a high voltage transmission connector.

15. The hybrid module of claim 10 , wherein the stator assembly is secured to a transmission case for a multi-speed planetary transmission.
