A control device that switchably has a first drive mode which is attained with the fixing mechanism being in the non-fixing state and in which a rotational speed of the input is steplessly shifted and transmitted to the output and torque of the second rotating electrical machine is transmitted to the output, and a second drive mode which is attained with the fixing mechanism being in the fixing state and the decoupling mechanism being in the non-transmitting state and in which, with the second rotating electrical machine being decoupled from the output, the rotational speed of the input is shifted according to a gear ratio of the differential gear unit and transmitted to the output.

Control device

An automatic transmission for adjusting the relative speed between an input and output member. The transmission being configured with four planetary gears, the first having first to third rotary elements, the second having fourth to sixth rotary elements, the third having seventh to ninth rotary elements, the fourth having tenth to twelfth rotary elements. Three couplings between (i) first and sixth rotary elements, (ii) second and fifth rotary elements, and (iii) eighth and twelfth rotary elements. Three clutches are provided between (i) the second coupling and input member, (ii) third coupling and input member, and (iii) seventh rotary element and input member. Three brakes are provided at (i) the fourth rotary element, (ii) third coupling element, and (iii) tenth rotary element. The output member is connected to the third rotary element.

Automatic transmission device

An automatic transmission configured with four planetary gear mechanisms, three clutches, and three brakes, which are configured to provide nine forward speeds and a reverse speed. The combination of elements results in, amongst other benefits, improved torque transfer efficiency. A first planetary gear mechanism including first to third rotary elements that form a sequence of the first rotary element, the second rotary element, and the third rotary element when arranged in an order at intervals corresponding to gear ratios in a velocity diagram. A second planetary gear mechanism including fourth to sixth rotary elements, a third planetary gear mechanism including seventh to ninth rotary elements, and a fourth planetary gear mechanism including tenth to twelfth rotary elements.

An automatic transmission device that changes a relative speed between an input and output member. The transmission configured with a first planetary gear mechanism including first to third rotary elements, a second planetary gear mechanism including fourth to sixth rotary elements, a third planetary gear mechanism including seventh to ninth rotary elements, and a fourth planetary gear mechanism including tenth to twelfth rotary elements. A first coupling between the third and eighth rotary element, a second coupling between the fifth and eleventh rotary element, a third coupling between the sixth and twelfth rotary element, a fourth coupling between the seventh and tenth rotary element. A first clutch between the first and third coupling, a second clutch between the first rotary element and the third coupling element, a third clutch between the first and fourth rotary element.

An automatic transmission () includes a planetary gear set (PS), first to third clutches (C-to C-), first to third brakes (B-to B-), and a counter gear () that outputs shifted rotation. The counter gear () is placed axially on one side of the planetary gear set (PS), and the second brake (B-) is placed axially on the opposite side from of the counter gear () from the planetary gear set (PS). The second brake (B-) that does not make higher speed rotation than other clutches and brakes can thus be separated from the planetary gear set (PS), and other clutches and brakes and the counter gear () are arranged near the planetary gear set (PS). Thus, members having a large thickness are reduced in length, whereby the automatic transmission is made compact and reduced in weight.

Automatic transmission

A vehicular automatic transmission includes three single pinion planetary gear sets and a plurality of engagement elements. A plurality of gears is selectively established by three of the plurality of engagement elements being engaged and three of the plurality of engagement elements being released. One of the plurality of engagement elements is a dedicated reverse engagement element that is engaged when a reverse gear is established and is released when a forward gear is established.

Vehicular automatic transmission

A lubricating oil supply device for an automatic transmission that includes a washer arranged inside the automatic transmission and regulating a movement of an input shaft in the automatic transmission in a shaft direction, wherein the washer includes: an oil reception section that receives lubricating oil scattered by a centrifugal force in a radial direction of the input shaft of the automatic transmission, and a guide path that guides the lubricating oil received by the oil reception section to a thrust surface at an end surface of the washer in the shaft direction.

Lubricating oil supply device for automatic transmission

An automatic transmission that includes an input shaft; an output shaft; and a speed change mechanism portion that shifts a rotation of the input shaft to be transmitted to the output shaft, wherein: the output shaft has a spline formed in a range in which the output shaft fits in a power transmission shaft included in a vehicle, and n-stage (n is an integer of at least 2) chamfering is performed on a larger diameter portion of the spline.
