Abstract:
A drive module with a housing, an electric motor coupled to the housing, a differential assembly, a transmission, and a filter-strainer assembly. The housing has an exterior wall member that defines an internal cavity and a suction tube. The internal cavity at least partly forms a lubricant sump with a sump outlet. The suction tube is spaced apart from and does not intersect the internal cavity such that the suction tube is not in direct fluid communication with the internal cavity. The differential assembly and transmission are received in the internal cavity and the transmission transmits rotary power between the electric motor and the differential assembly. The filter-strainer assembly is coupled to the housing and has a filter-strainer inlet, which is coupled in fluid communication to the sump outlet, and a filter-strainer outlet, which is directly coupled in fluid communication to a suction tube inlet of the suction tube.

Claim (Index 1):
An electric drive module comprising:\n a housing having an exterior wall member that defines an internal cavity and a suction tube, the internal cavity at least partly forming a lubricant sump with a sump outlet, the suction tube being spaced apart from and not intersecting the internal cavity such that the suction tube is not in direct fluid communication with the internal cavity; an electric motor coupled to the housing, the electric motor having a motor output member that is rotatable about a rotational axis; a differential assembly received in the internal cavity, the differential assembly having a differential input that is rotatable about the rotational axis; a transmission received in the internal cavity and transmitting rotary power between the electric motor and the differential assembly, the transmission having a transmission input, which is coupled to the motor output member for rotation therewith, and a transmission output, which is coupled to the differential input for common rotation; a filter-strainer assembly coupled to the housing, the filter-strainer assembly having a filter-strainer inlet, which is coupled in fluid communication to the sump outlet, and a filter-strainer outlet, which is directly coupled in fluid communication to a suction tube inlet of the suction tube.
