Abstract

Un aspect de cette unité de moteur concerne une unité de moteur qui fait tourner un essieu de roue d'un véhicule, l'unité de moteur comprenant : un moteur présentant un arbre de moteur qui tourne autour d'un essieu de moteur ; un réducteur de vitesse raccordé à l'arbre de moteur ; un dispositif de différentiel qui est raccordé au réducteur de vitesse et qui fait tourner l'essieu de roue autour d'un axe de différentiel ; un logement présentant une partie de réception de moteur qui reçoit le moteur et une partie de réception d'engrenage qui reçoit le réducteur de vitesse et le dispositif de différentiel et à l'intérieur de laquelle de l'huile est reçue ; et une partie de stockage qui s'ouvre verticalement vers le haut à l'intérieur de la partie de réception d'engrenage et qui peut stocker de l'huile. L'essieu de différentiel s'aligne avec l'essieu de moteur. L'arbre de moteur est un arbre creux qui s'ouvre sur les deux côtés dans une direction axiale. L'essieu de roue est passé à travers l'intérieur de l'arbre de moteur. Une extrémité axiale de l'arbre de moteur fait saillie dans la partie de réception d'engrenage. À l'intérieur de l'ouverture dans un côté axial de l'arbre de moteur, un espace diamétral entre l'arbre de moteur et l'essieu de roue est au moins partiellement positionné à l'intérieur de la partie de stockage.
