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 4):
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; a differential assembly received in the internal cavity; a transmission received in the internal cavity and transmitting rotary power between the electric motor and the differential assembly; and 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; wherein the differential assembly has a pair of differential outputs and wherein the electric drive module further comprises a pair of output shafts that are received into the housing, each of the output shafts being drivingly coupled to a corresponding one of the differential outputs.
