Abstract

During a downshift while coasting, a torque-down request is outputted to an engine controller (6) simultaneously with the start (t2) of shift control, and ignition timing retardation is executed. The ignition timing retardation, i.e., the torque-down of the internal combustion engine (1) is performed until gear changing is complete (time t4). The speed (Ne) of the internal combustion engine (1) decreases rapidly due to the torque-down, and the speed (Ne) of the internal combustion engine (1) and the input speed (Nt) of the transmission mechanism (23) maintain the relationship "Ne < Nt" until gear changing is complete. Therefore, when the input speed (Nt) of the transmission mechanism (23) begins to increase (time t3), shock caused by backlash does not occur.

Abstract

This drive device comprises a first torque transmission path and a second torque transmission path and is capable of alternatively transmitting torque from a drive source to an object to be driven via the first torque transmission path or the second torque transmission path. When a sun gear is driven by the drive source to rotate to one side in the circumferential direction, a first clutch unit is engaged and a second clutch unit is disengaged, whereby torque is transmitted to the object to be driven via the first torque transmission path, and the object to be driven rotates to the other side in the circumferential direction. When the sun gear is driven by the drive source to rotate to the other side in the circumferential direction, the first clutch unit is disengaged and the second clutch unit is engaged, and torque is transmitted to the object to be driven via the second torque transmission path and the object to be driven rotates to the other side in the circumferential direction. When the object to be driven rotates to the one side in the circumferential direction, the second clutch unit is disengaged.

Abstract

This drive device comprises a motor that is accommodated in a motor compartment and a gear mechanism that is accommodated in a gear compartment, and is configured so that the motor and the gear mechanism are cooled by a circulating coolant. The drive device comprises a connecting path that allows the coolant to flow between the bottom of the motor compartment and the bottom of the gear compartment. The drive device comprises a backflow prevention mechanism that is provided in the connecting path, restricts the flow of the coolant from the gear compartment to the motor compartment, and permits the flow of the coolant from the gear compartment to the motor compartment in cases when the pressure applied by the coolant on the gear compartment side is greater than the pressure applied by the coolant on the motor compartment side by at least a prescribed value.

Abstract

In this drive device, when a sun gear is driven by a motor to rotate to one side in a circumferential direction, a first clutch unit engages to lock a planetary carrier and a hub shaft. When the sun gear is driven by the motor to rotate to the other side in the circumferential direction, a second clutch unit engages to integrally rotate a planetary gear mechanism. When both the first clutch unit and the second clutch unit are in an engaged state, a third clutch unit separates so as to release a transmission connection between the second clutch unit and a ring gear. A clutch hub of the third clutch unit is connected in power-transmitting fashion to a hub that is able to rotate around the hub shaft. On the clutch hub is formed a sliding surface on which the outer peripheral surface of the ring gear slides in the axial direction of the hub shaft. The third clutch unit switches between the engaged state and the separated state due to the ring gear moving in the axial direction in relation to the clutch hub. In the axial direction, at least an end edge of the sliding surface on one side in the axial direction always moves in the axial direction range of the outer peripheral surface of the ring gear.
