Clutch assembly having an oil accumulating device

摘要

The invention relates to a clutch assembly of a motor vehicle, in particular a clutch-controlled differential unit, comprising a switchable clutch apparatus that is able to transmit driving power from a drive element on the input side with regard to the clutch device to a drive element on the output side with regard to the clutch device, wherein an oil conveying apparatus is provided for the clutch oiling, which oil conveying apparatus conveys oil of an oil circuit serving the clutch device depending on the operating state. In order to ensure that the lubrication of components arranged on the output side with regard to the clutch device is ensured in operating states in which the oil conveying apparatus does not convey any oil, an oil accumulating device is provided.

主权项

1. A clutch controlled equalization unit designed to transmit power to a wheel of an axle of a motor vehicle, the clutch controlled equalization unit comprising:
a clutch device arranged to be engaged and disengaged, and to transmit drive power from a first drive member to a second drive member, the first drive member being on a drive side of the clutch device and the second drive member being on an output side of the clutch device; an oil-delivering device coupled to the first drive member and arranged to deliver oil depending on an operating state that is one of a first operating state in which oil is delivered and a second operating state in which oil is not delivered; and an oil-damming device, arranged to ensure lubrication of components arranged on the output side of the clutch device when the oil-delivering device does not deliver oil; wherein in the first operating state at least one of two conditions is present with the conditions being a first condition in which the first drive member is connected to a flow of drive power and a second condition in which the clutch device is engaged and wherein in the second operating state the clutch device is disengaged and the first drive member is disconnected from the flow of drive power and the oil delivering device is immobilized and the second drive member is rotating.
