A double clutch apparatus for a hybrid electric vehicle having a motor and an engine includes: first and second clutches transmitting a motor torque and an engine torque to first and second input shafts; and first and second slave cylinders disposed at a transmission case and configured to respectively operate the first and second clutches in an axial direction. In particular, a rotor hub of the motor is rotatably supported by an end of a radially interior side of a front cover, and is connected to the first input shaft through a clutch retainer of the second clutch and a first connection member to transmit the motor torque to the first input shaft. In addition, the first and second clutches are disposed in parallel in an interior circumference of the rotor hub to selectively transmit the engine torque to the first and second input shafts, respectively.

Double clutch apparatus for hybrid electric vehicle

A power transmission apparatus for hybrid electric vehicle includes: input shaft coaxially disposed with an engine output shaft receiving engine torque; first and second output shafts coaxially disposed forward and rearward sides on the input shaft; third output shaft coaxial with the first output shaft; a shared drum connected to the input shaft and formed with a motor gear gear-meshed with a motor; an engine clutch sharing the shared drum and selectively transmitting torque between the engine output shaft and the input shaft; first and third clutches disposed in rows within the shared drum and selectively transmitting torque from the input shaft to the first and third output shafts; a planetary gear set disposed on the second output shaft and connected to the second output shaft; and a second clutch external to the planetary gear set and selectively connecting the input shaft and the planetary gear set.
