A turbine ventilation structure includes: an exhaust diffuser including inner and outer tubes to form an exhaust passage for exhaust gas; a strut extending across the exhaust diffuser from a housing to support a bearing inside the inner tube; a strut cover in the exhaust passage that covers the strut; and a connecting member disposed downstream of the strut cover and including a hollow portion to connect the housing and the inner tube. The housing includes a first intake port to introduce an air from outside. The strut cover has a discharge hole at a rear edge portion thereof. The turbine ventilation structure includes a first ventilation passage extending from the first intake port through the hollow portion, then extending from an inner end portion of the strut through between the strut and the strut cover, and the discharge hole, into the exhaust passage.

A planetary gear device includes: a sun gear; a plurality of planet gears that mesh with the sun gear; and a baffle unit disposed in a circumferential gap between the adjacent planet gears. The baffle unit includes: a first introduction opening portion open in a radially inward direction to introduce lubricating oil, which has lubricated the sun gear and the planet gears, into the baffle unit; an end wall forming one end in an axial direction of the first introduction opening portion; a discharge opening portion to discharge lubricating oil in the baffle unit; and a guide portion disposed at a side portion of the baffle unit on a rear side in rotation direction of the sun gear, and configured to cover the first introduction opening portion in the circumferential direction and to guide the lubricating oil to an outer circumference of the adjacent planet gears.
