A vehicle drive device that includes an input member that is drivingly connected to a driving force source for wheels; a hydraulic transmission device that includes a transmission input member coaxially disposed with the input member and changes a speed of rotation of the transmission input member and transmits the rotation to a transmission output member; a differential gear device that has an axis different from an axis of the input member and distributes a drive force transmitted from the transmission output member to the wheels; a case that houses at least the transmission device and the differential gear device; an electric oil pump that is driven by a pump rotary electric machine; and a hydraulic control device that controls a hydraulic pressure of oil discharged from the electric oil pump and supplies the oil at least to the transmission device.

Vehicle drive device

A vehicle driving apparatus includes a rotating electrical machine; a power transmitting gear mechanism; and a case in which the rotating electrical machine and the gear mechanism are housed in series in an axial direction of the rotating electrical machine, wherein a low rigidity region, which is a region of the case having low rigidity located at an outer periphery of the rotating electrical machine, is covered by a silencer supported on a high rigidity region of the case having a higher rigidity than the low rigidity region.

Driving apparatus for vehicle

A hybrid driving unit () is mounted to a vehicle by coupling a coupling section () at the front end of a casing member () with an internal combustion engine () and by mounting a mounting section () at the rear end of the casing member () to a part () of a body (). Still more, a second electric motor (), i.e., a heavy device, is disposed in the rearmost part among a first electric motor (), a power splitting planetary gear (), the second electric motor () and a transmission disposed on an axis () in the casing member (). Thereby, the vibration occurring in the casing member () is suppressed.

Hybrid drive device and automobile mounted with device

An output shaft is divided into a first output shaft and a second output shaft. Torque from a motive power distributing planetary gear is transferred to the first output shaft. The first output shaft is supported on partition walls by a both-end support structure via bearings. Assist torque from a transmission is applied to the second output shaft. The second output shaft is also supported on partition walls by a both-end support structure via bearings.

Hybrid drive apparatus

A front end portion of an output shaft is supported by a bearing mounted to an inner peripheral surface of a partition that separates a power distributing planetary gear and a speed change unit. A rear end portion of the output shaft is supported via a bearing which is interposed along a portion of the same plane along which also lies a mounting surface of a bearing in a rear wall that supports a rear end portion of a rotor of a second motor. As a result, the output shaft is supported by a twin support structure via the bearings by the partition and the rear wall.

Hybrid drive system

A hybrid driving unit in which a first electric motor (), a second electric motor (), a transmission () and a power splitting planetary gear () are disposed in order from the front side (the side of an internal combustion engine) on an axis within a casing member (). Since the first electric motor () and the second electric motor () are disposed adjacently to each other, partial cases for storing these first and second electric motors () and () may be combined, thus facilitating the accommodation for producing the unit in series.

Hybrid driving unit and vehicle carrying the same

A hybrid driving unit () in which a second electric motor () is disposed on the side closer to the front of a vehicle (the side closer to an internal combustion engine ()) than a first electric motor (). A casing member () is formed such that an inner diameter of a part thereof, in which a stator () of the second electric motor () is fixed, is larger than that of a part in which a stator of the first electric motor () is fixed. This allows the second electric motor () to be constructed so as to have a large radial dimension and, to that extent, allows the length thereof in the longitudinal direction to be suppressed. Accordingly, this allows the length of the whole hybrid driving unit () to be shortened.

A planetary gear lubrication unit includes a planetary gear unit having a sun gear and a carrier that has a plurality of pinion shafts, wherein each of the plurality of pinion shafts rotatably supports a pinion, a plurality of side plates that support the plurality of pinion shafts, and a rotating shaft arranged in a center portion of the planetary gear unit, in which lubrication oil supplied from the rotating shaft is led to a portion of the pinion shafts that support the pinions.
