And extend from both ends of the second motor 2B.

[Planetary gear reducer]
The first and second planetary gear reducers 12A and 12B include sun gears 21A and 21B, ring gears 24A and 24B, and a plurality of planetary gears 22A and 22B engaged with the sun gears 21A and 21B and the ring gears 24A and 24B. The planetary gears 23A and 23B rotatably and rotatably support the planetary gears 22A and 22B, and the driving forces of the first and second motors 2A and 2B are input from the sun gears 21A and 21B and decelerated. The driving rotation is output to the axles 10A and 10B through the planetary carriers 23A and 23B.

  The sun gears 21A, 21B are integrally formed with the motor output shafts 16A, 16B. The planetary gears 22A and 22B are double pinions having large diameter first pinions 26A and 26B directly meshed with the sun gears 21A and 21B and second pinions 27A and 27B smaller in diameter than the first pinions 26A and 26B. The first and second pinions 26A and 26B and the second pinions 27A and 27B are integrally formed coaxially and axially offset from each other. The planetary gears 22A, 22B are supported by the pinion shafts 32A, 32B of the planetary carriers 23A, 23B via needle bearings 31A, 31B as shown in FIG. 4, and the planetary carriers 23A, 23B have axially inner end portions It extends radially inward and is spline-fitted to the axles 10A and 10B so as to be integrally rotatably supported, and is supported by the partition walls 18A and 18B via bearings 33A and 33B.

  The ring gears 24A and 24B have smaller diameters than the gear portions 28A and 28B whose inner peripheral surfaces are engaged with the small diameter second pinions 27A and 27B, and smaller diameters than the gear portions 28A and 28B. It comprises the portions 29A, 29B, and the connecting portions 30A, 30B which radially connect the axially inner end portions of the gear portions 28A, 28B and the axially outer end portions of the small diameter portions 29A, 29B.

  The gear portions 28A and 28B are axially opposed to each other with the cylindrical wall 46 formed at the inner diameter side end of the left and right divided wall 45 of the central case 11M. A space is secured between the coupling portions 30A and 30B of the ring gears 24A and 24B opposed in the axial direction, and a two-way clutch 50 described later is disposed in the space. The small diameter portions 29A and 29B are spline-fitted to the inner peripheral portion of the rotary plate 51 of the two-way clutch 50, the outer peripheral surfaces of which are described later. Thus, the ring gears 24A and 24B are coupled to each other so as to rotate integrally with the rotation plate 51 of the two-way clutch 50. Further, the inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical wall 46 is spline-fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the first fixed plate 52 of the two-way clutch 50 described later. As a result, the first fixed plate 52 of the two-way clutch 50 is positioned by the central case 11M and prevented from rotating.

[Two-way clutch]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5A to 5C, the two-way clutch 50 includes a rotating plate 51, a first fixed plate 52, a second fixed plate 53, and a selector plate 54. The rotating plate 51 is an annular plate member, and an inner peripheral portion thereof is formed with a spline 51a which is spline fitted with the small diameter portions 29A, 29B of the ring gears 24A, 24B. Further, the rotation plate 51 has a first opposing surface 51b facing the first fixed plate 52 on one side in the axial direction, and a second opposing surface 51c facing the second fixed plate 53 on the other side in the axial direction. Have. On the second opposing surface 51c, a plurality of retractable second engagement pieces 55 biased toward the second fixed plate 53 by the springs 55a are disposed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction, A plurality of groove-shaped first engagement concave portions 51d, which are engagement counterparts of the first engagement pieces 56 described later, are formed on the facing surface 51b at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction.

  The first fixing plate 52 integrally has an annular plate portion 52a and a cylindrical portion 52b extending in the axial direction from the outer peripheral portion of the plate portion 52a, and the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion 52b has a central case. A spline 52c spline-fitted to the inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical wall 46 of 11M is formed. Further, the inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion 52b rotatably supports the outer peripheral portion of the rotating plate 51, and splines non-rotatably with the outer peripheral portion of the second fixed plate 53. Further, on the surface of the plate portion 52a facing the first opposing surface 51b of the rotary plate 51, a retractable first engagement piece 56 biased toward the rotary plate 51 by a spring 56a is circumferentially spaced by a predetermined distance A plurality of openings are placed. As a result, when the rotating plate 51 rotates in one direction (the direction of the white arrow in FIG. 5B) between the first fixed plate 52 and the rotating plate 51, the first engagement piece 56 of the rotating plate 51 When the rotating plate 51 is rotated in the other direction (in the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5A), the first engagement is achieved. The second one-way clutch OWC2 is configured in an engaged state (ON: see FIG. 5A) in which the piece 56 engages with the first engagement recess 51d of the rotation plate 51.

  Focusing on only the second one-way clutch OWC2, when the second one-way clutch OWC2 is in the non-engaged state, one direction of the ring gears 24A and 24B coupled to the rotating plate 51 together with the rotating plate 51 (white arrow in FIG. 5B Rotation is permitted, and the power transmission path between the first and second motors 2A, 2B and the rear wheel Wr is cut off. On the other hand, when the second one-way clutch OWC2 is in the engaged state, the rotation in the other direction (the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5A) of the ring gears 24A and 24B coupled to the rotating plate 51 together with the rotating plate 51 is restricted. A power transmission path between the first and second motors 2A, 2B and the rear wheel Wr is connected.

  More specifically, the second one-way clutch OWC2 is provided on the power transmission path between the first and second motors 2A, 2B and the rear wheel Wr, and the first and second motors 2A, 2B are provided. When the rotational power in the forward direction (rotational direction when advancing the vehicle V) is input to the rear wheel Wr side, it becomes non-engaging state and rotates in the reverse direction of the first and second electric motors 2A, 2B When the power is input to the rear wheel Wr side, the engagement state is established, and when the forward rotational power of the rear wheel Wr side is input to the first and second motors 2A and 2B, the engagement state is established. When rotational power in the reverse direction on the rear wheel Wr side is input to the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B, it is in the non-engagement state.

  The second fixing plate 53 is an annular plate member, and the outer peripheral portion thereof splines with the first fixing plate 52. Further, on the surface of the second fixed plate 53 facing the second opposing surface 51c of the rotary plate 51, a groove-shaped second engagement recess 53b, which is a mating partner of the second engagement piece 55, is circumferentially specified. A plurality of spaces are formed at intervals. Thus, when the rotary plate 51 rotates in one direction (the direction of the white arrow in FIG. 5B) between the rotary plate 51 and the second fixed plate 53, the second engagement piece 55 is the second fixed plate. When the rotation plate 51 is rotated in the other direction (the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5A, FIG. 5C), the second engagement recess 53b is engaged. The first one-way clutch OWC1 is configured to be in a non-engaging state (OFF: see FIGS. 5A and 5C) in which the engagement piece 55 is disengaged from the second engagement recess 53b of the second fixed plate 53. .

  Focusing on only the first one-way clutch OWC1, when the first one-way clutch OWC1 is in the engaged state, one direction of the ring gears 24A and 24B coupled to the rotating plate 51 together with the rotating plate 51 (shown by the white arrow in FIG. Rotation is restricted, and the power transmission path between the first and second motors 2A and 2B and the rear wheel Wr is connected. On the other hand, when the first one-way clutch OWC1 is in the disengaged state, free rotation in the other direction (the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5A) of the ring gears 24A and 24B coupled to the rotating plate 51 together with the rotating plate 51 is The power transmission path between the first and second motors 2A, 2B and the rear wheel Wr is cut off.

  More specifically, the first one-way clutch OWC1 is provided in parallel with the second one-way clutch OWC2 on the power transmission path between the first and second motors 2A and 2B and the rear wheel Wr. When the forward rotational power on the 1st and 2nd electric motors 2A and 2B side is input to the rear wheel Wr side, it is in the engaged state and the reverse rotational power on the 1st and 2nd electric motors 2A and 2B side is back When it is input to the wheel Wr side, it becomes disengaged, and when the forward rotational power of the rear wheel Wr is input to the first and second motors 2A, 2B, it becomes disengaged and When rotational power in the reverse direction on the wheel Wr side is input to the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B, an engaged state is established.

  The selector plate 54 is an annular thin plate member, and is disposed between the first fixed plate 52 and the first opposing surface 51 b of the rotating plate 51. In the selector plate 54, a plurality of window portions 54a which allow the first engagement pieces 56 to protrude and retract are formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. The selector plate 54 is supported so as to be displaceable (rotatable) in the circumferential direction in the cylindrical portion 52b of the first fixed plate 52, and the window portion 54a is made to coincide with the position of the first engagement piece 56. In the non-operational state (OPEN: see FIGS. 5A and 5B) which allows the engagement of the joint piece 56 into the first engagement recess 51d, the window 54a is not aligned with the position of the first engagement piece 56. The switching means SLC is configured to be switchable to an operation state (CLOSE: see FIG. 5C) for restricting the engagement of the first engagement piece 56 into the first engagement recess 51d.

  As described above, when the rotation plate 51 rotates in the other direction (the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5A), the first engagement piece 56 is engaged with the first engagement of the rotation plate 51 by the second one-way clutch OWC2. When the switching means SLC is in the operating state (CLOSE: see FIG. 5C), the rotating plate 51 is in the other direction (black arrows shown in FIGS. 5A, 5C). Engagement of the first engagement piece 56 with the first engagement recess 51d is restricted. Thus, the selector plate 54 makes the second one-way clutch OWC2 effective or ineffective by switching between the inoperative state and the operative state.

  When the selector plate 54 is in the non-operating state, that is, when the second one-way clutch OWC2 is in the active state, the second one-way clutch OWC2 is in the non-engaging state according to the rotation direction of the rotating plate 51 as described above. Or it will be in the engaged state.

  When the selector plate 54 is in the activated state, that is, when the second one-way clutch OWC2 is in the inactivated state, the rotation plate 51 rotates in the other direction (the direction of the solid arrow in FIGS. 5A and 5C). In addition to the one-way clutch OWC1, the second one-way clutch OWC2 is also disengaged, and in the other direction of the ring gears 24A and 24B coupled to the rotating plate 51 with the rotating plate 51 (the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5A). Free rotation is permitted, whereby the power transmission path between the first and second motors 2A, 2B and the rear wheel Wr is interrupted.

  In other words, selector plate 54 restricts the engagement of first engagement piece 56 with first engagement recess 51d when actuated to transmit power between first and second motors 2A, 2B and rear wheel Wr. The path is cut off (see FIG. 5C), and engagement of the first engagement piece 56 to the first engagement recess 51d is allowed when not in operation, and the first and second motors 2A, 2B and the rear wheel Wr And connecting and disconnecting means for making the power transmission path between them into the connection permitted state (see FIGS. 5A and 5B).

  More specifically, selector plate 54 is disposed in parallel with first one-way clutch OWC1 on the power transmission path between first and second motors 2A, 2B and rear wheel Wr, and is connected to the second one-way clutch An actuator 58 provided in series with the OWC 2 and switched to the rear wheel drive device 1 switches between an inoperative state and an operative state. A hydraulic actuator is used as the actuator 58, and switching of the selector plate 54 is performed via the connection arm 59 (see FIG. 4).

[Arrangement Configuration in Rear Wheel Drive]

The first one-way clutch OWC1, the second one-way clutch OWC2, and the two-way clutch 50 constituting the switching means SLC are the first planetary gear reducer 12A and the second planetary gear reducer 12B in the vehicle width direction. It is placed between. At this time, the two-way clutch 50 is disposed inside the outermost diameter portion R1 of the first planetary gear reducer 12A and the second planetary gear reducer 12B.

  Further, an actuator 58 for switching the selector plate 54 is disposed on the outer diameter side of the first planetary gear reducer 12A. The actuator 58 is at least partially disposed inside the outermost diameter portion R1 of the first planetary gear reducer 12A. The actuator 58 may be disposed on the outer diameter side of the second planetary gear reducer 12B.

[Control device]
The control device CTR shown in FIG. 1 is a control device for performing various controls of the entire vehicle, and the control device CTR has wheel speed sensor values, motor rotational speed sensor values of the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B, and steering. While the angle, accelerator pedal position, shift position, state of charge in the battery BAT, oil temperature, etc. are input, the control device CTR controls a signal for controlling the internal combustion engine, and controls the first and second electric motors 2A, 2B. A signal, a control signal for controlling the actuator 58 via a hydraulic pressure drive mechanism 71 described later, and the like are output.

  FIG. 6 describes the relationship between the front wheel drive (FDS), the rear wheel drive 1 (RDS), the first and second electric motors 2A (rear motor), and the two-way clutch 50 (OWC1, SLC, OWC2) in each vehicle state. Table. In the figure, the coast represents a driven state. Further, FIGS. 7 to 11 show speed alignment charts in each state of the rear wheel drive device 1, and LMOT represents the first motor 2A, RMOT the second motor 2B, and S and C on the left side represent the first motor 2A. The sun gear 21A of the first planetary gear type reducer 12A connected, the planetary carrier 23A of the first planetary gear type reducer 12A, and S and C on the right are the sun gear 21B of the second planetary gear type reducer 12B and the second planet The planetary carriers 23B and R of the gear type reduction gear 12B represent ring gears 24A and 24B of the first and second planetary gear type reduction gears 12A and 12B. In the following description, the rotation direction of the sun gears 21A and 21B at the time of forward movement of the vehicle by the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B is taken as a forward direction. Further, in the figure, from the stopped state, the upper side is forward rotation and the lower side is reverse rotation, and the arrow indicates that the upward torque indicates the forward torque and the downward arrow indicates the reverse torque.

  While the vehicle is stopped, neither the front wheel drive device FDS nor the rear wheel drive device 1 is driven. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, since the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B of the rear wheel drive device 1 are stopped and the axles 10A and 10B are also stopped, torque acts on any of the elements. Not. At this time, the switching means SLC is in the non-operating state (OPEN). Further, the first and second one-way clutches OWC1 and OWC2 are not engaged (OFF) because the first and second motors 2A and 2B are not driven.

  Then, after the starter switch or the key position is turned ON, the rear wheel drive by the rear wheel drive device 1 is performed when the vehicle speed is low and motor efficiency is high such as EV start and EV cruise. As shown in FIG. 8, when the first and second motors 2A, 2B are driven in a power-running manner so that the first and second motors 2A, 2B rotate in the forward direction while the switching means SLC is in the non-operating state (OPEN). , Torque in the forward direction is applied to the sun gears 21A and 21B, which are power points, and torque in the reverse direction acts on the ring gears 24A and 24B, which are action points, using the planetary carriers 23A and 23B connected to the rear wheel Wr as fulcrums Do. As a result, a torque in the reverse direction also acts on the rotating plate 51 coupled to the ring gears 24A and 24B, and the rotating plate 51 rotates in one direction (the direction of the white arrow in FIG. 5B) (see FIG. 5B). At this time, although the second one-way clutch OWC2 is disengaged, the first one-way clutch OWC1 is engaged and the ring gears 24A and 24B are locked. As a result, the planetary carriers 23A and 23B rotate in the forward direction, and the vehicle V travels forward. The running resistances from the axles 10A and 10B act on the planetary carriers 23A and 23B in the reverse direction, and the reaction force from the first one-way clutch OWC1 acts on the ring gears 24A and 24B in the forward direction.

  As described above, when the vehicle V starts moving, the first and second electric motors 2A, 2A, and 2B generate forward powering torque from the first and second electric motors 2A, 2B while keeping the switching means SLC in the non-operating state (OPEN). By driving 2B by power running, the first one-way clutch OWC1 is mechanically engaged, and the first and second motors 2A, 2B side and the rear wheel Wr side are connected, and the first and second motor 2A , 2B power running torque is transmitted to the rear wheel Wr.

  From low vehicle speed traveling to high vehicle speed traveling with high vehicle speed and high engine efficiency, rear wheel drive by the rear wheel drive unit 1 to front wheel drive by the front wheel drive unit FDS. When the second one-way clutch OWC2 is engaged in the front wheel drive, the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B may over-rotate due to corotation, so when the vehicle speed reaches a predetermined vehicle speed, as shown in FIG. As shown, the switching means SLC is operated (CLOSE), and the second one-way clutch OWC2 is disabled. As a result, both the first one-way clutch OWC1 and the second one-way clutch OWC2 are disengaged, and rotation in the other direction (the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5C) of the rotating plate 51 is permitted (see FIG. 5C), along with this, the ring gears 24A, 24B rotate in the forward direction. Therefore, the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B and the rear wheel Wr side are disconnected, and the co-rotation of the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B is prevented. The friction of the first and second motors 2A and 2B acts on the sun gears 21A and 21B in the opposite direction, and the friction of the rotation plate 51 acts on the ring gears 24A and 24B in the reverse direction.

  When the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B are to be regeneratively driven during forward travel, as shown in FIG. 10, torques in the forward direction for continuing forward travel from the axles 10A and 10B to the planetary carriers 23A and 23B. It is working. That is, torque is applied in the forward direction to the planetary carriers 23A and 23B, which are power points, and the ring gears 24A and 24B, which are action points, have the sun gears 21A and 21B connected to the first and second motors 2A and 2B as supporting points. The torque in the forward direction acts. As a result, forward torque acts on the rotating plate 51 coupled to the ring gears 24A and 24B, and the rotating plate 51 rotates in the other direction (the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5A) (FIG. 5A). At this time, although the first one-way clutch OWC1 is in the non-engagement state, the second one-way clutch OWC2 is in the engagement state by bringing the switching means SLC into the non-operating state (OPEN). Is locked. In this state, the first and second motors 2A, 2B are regeneratively driven so that the regenerative torque in the opposite direction is generated from the first and second motors 2A, 2B. The deceleration is regenerated. Thus, when the forward torque on the rear wheel Wr side is input to the first and second motors 2A and 2B, the ring gears 24A and 24B are locked by the mechanical engagement of the second one-way clutch OWC2. Therefore, energy loss can be reduced as compared with the conventional case where the hydraulic brake is engaged in such a situation.

  During reverse, as shown in FIG. 11, the first and second motors 2A, 2B are rotated so that the first and second motors 2A, 2B rotate in the opposite direction while the switching means SLC is in the non-operating state (OPEN). When reverse driving is performed, torque in the reverse direction is applied to the sun gears 21A and 21B, which are power points, and the forward direction is applied to the ring gears 24A and 24B, which are action points, using the planetary carriers 23A and 23B connected to the rear wheel Wr as fulcrums. Torque acts. As a result, forward torque acts on the rotating plate 51 coupled to the ring gears 24A and 24B, and the rotating plate 51 rotates in the other direction (the direction of the solid arrow in FIG. 5A) (FIG. 5A). At this time, although the first one-way clutch OWC1 is disengaged, the second one-way clutch OWC2 is engaged and the ring gears 24A and 24B are locked. As a result, the planetary carriers 23A and 23B rotate in the reverse direction, and the vehicle V travels in reverse. The running resistances from the axles 10A and 10B act on the planetary carriers 23A and 23B in the forward direction, and the reaction force by the second one-way clutch OWC2 acts on the ring gears 24A and 24B in the reverse direction. Thus, when the torque in the reverse direction of the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B is input to the rear wheel Wr side, the mechanical engagement of the second one-way clutch OWC2 causes the first and second electric motors 2A to 2B and the rear wheel Wr side are connected, and the counteracting torque of the first and second motors 2A and 2B is transmitted to the rear wheel Wr, so the hydraulic brake is conventionally engaged in such a situation Energy loss can be reduced compared to

[Hydraulic drive mechanism]
Next, the hydraulic pressure drive mechanism 71 of the rear wheel drive system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12, 13A, 13B and 13C.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the hydraulic drive mechanism 71 includes a hydraulic actuator 58 for switching the selector plate 54 (switching means SLC) between the operating state (CLOSE) and the non-operating state (OPEN). An oil passage connecting the electric oil pump 70 and the actuator 58 with the electric oil pump 70 (referred to as "EOP" as appropriate in the drawing as needed) for supplying the oil taken in from the arranged suction port 70a to the actuator 58 as a hydraulic pressure. (The first line oil passage 75A, the second line oil passage 75B, the first switching oil passage 77A, the second switching oil passage 77B) and the oil discharged from the electric oil pump 70 are decompressed to produce the first and second electric motors Regulator valve 73 for supplying to the lubrication and cooling units such as 2A, 2B and the first and second planetary gear type reduction gears 12A, 12B, and the line oil passage 75A The open / close shift valve 81 and the switch shift valve 74 provided in order from the upstream side on 75 B, and the first line oil passage 75 A upstream of the open / close shift valve 81 when power is not supplied In order to switch the selector plate 54 to the operating state via the actuator 58 when the power is not supplied and the first electromagnetic valve 88 (referred to as "HL-SOL" in the drawing as appropriate) which puts the 1-line oil passage 75A into the high pressure state. A second solenoid valve 83 (also referred to as “SLC-SOL” as appropriate in the drawing) acting on the switching shift valve 74 and acting on the switching shift valve 74 so that the selector plate 54 is switched to the non-operating state via the actuator 58 at the time of power supply. To describe). The first line oil passage 75A connects the electric oil pump 70 and the on-off shift valve 81, and the second line oil passage 75B connects the on-off shift valve 81 to the switching shift valve 74, and the first switching oil The passage 77A and the second switching oil passage 77B connect the switching shift valve 74 and the actuator 58.

  The regulator valve 73 is a valve body 73a slidably accommodated in the valve accommodating chamber, and an annular supply port 73b formed on an inner peripheral surface of a substantially central portion of the valve accommodating chamber and communicating with the first line oil passage 75A. And an annular discharge port 73c formed at a position adjacent to the supply port 73b and communicating with the lubrication and cooling unit via the lubrication and cooling oil passage 76, and on the opposite side of the discharge port 73c from the supply port 73b. An annular line pressure introducing port 73d formed and communicating with the first line oil passage 75A, and disposed at one end side (left side in the drawing) of the valve storage chamber, with the valve body 73a attached to the other end side (right side in the drawing) And a valve body control port 73f provided at the other end of the valve storage chamber and to which the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A is selectively introduced by the first electromagnetic valve 88. .

  The first solenoid valve 88 is a two-position three-port switching valve having a valve body (ball) operated by on (power supply) / off (power non-supply) of the solenoid, and the first line oil passage 75A A line side port 88a connected to the valve side, a valve side port 88b connected to a first valve body control oil passage 78 connected to the valve body control port 73f of the regulator valve 73, and a drain port 88c connected to the drain passage Have. The first electromagnetic valve 88 is on / off controlled by the control device CTR, and shuts off the line side port 88a and the valve side port 88b and connects the valve side port 88b and the drain port 88c at the time of on control. Supplying the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A to the control port 73f is shut off, and at the time of off control, the line side port 88a and the valve side port 88b are connected and the valve side port 88b and the drain port 88c are shut off. The line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A is applied to the tip end surface 73a1 of the valve body 73a through the valve body control port 73f.

  On the regulator valve 73 side, when the first solenoid valve 88 is turned off (OFF), the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A acts on the tip surface 73a1 of the valve body 73a through the valve body control port 73f. The line pressure of the line oil passage 75 acts on the annular groove 73a2 of the valve body 73a through the pressure introducing port 73d. The valve body 73a balances the wall surface of the valve storage chamber and the constricted portion 73a3 of the valve body 73a by balancing the hydraulic load acting on the valve body 73a through the valve body control port 73f and the line pressure introduction port 73d and the spring load of the spring 73e. Is stopped at a position (first position) where a large gap is formed between the supply port 73 b and the discharge port 73 c via the large gap.

  On the other hand, when the first solenoid valve 88 is controlled to be on (ON), the supply of the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A to the valve body control port 73f is cut off, and the line pressure inlet port 73d passes through the valve body 73a. The line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A acts on the annular groove 73a2. The valve body 73a has a small gap between the wall surface of the valve chamber and the constricted portion 73a3 of the valve body 73a by the balance between the hydraulic load acting on the valve body 73a through the line pressure introduction port 73d and the spring load of the spring 73e. It stops at the formed position (second position), and the supply port 73 b and the discharge port 73 c are connected via a small gap.

  Thus, the pressure receiving area of the valve body 73a to which the hydraulic pressure is applied in a direction to resist the spring load of the spring 73e changes depending on whether the first electromagnetic valve 88 is controlled off (OFF) or on (ON). The pressure receiving area when the first electromagnetic valve 88 is turned off (OFF) is larger than the pressure receiving area when the on control (ON) is performed. In addition, the gap between the wall surface of the valve chamber and the constricted portion 73a3 of the valve body 73a changes due to the change of the pressure receiving area due to the switching of the first electromagnetic valve 88 off and on, the first electromagnetic The gap when the first solenoid valve 88 is turned on (ON) is smaller than the gap when the valve 88 is turned off (OFF). Then, the pressure at the upstream side of the regulator valve 73 increases and the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A increases because the gap when the first solenoid valve 88 is turned on becomes smaller. That is, when the first solenoid valve 88 is turned on (ON), the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A becomes high (Hi), and when the first solenoid valve 88 is turned off (off) the first line The line pressure of the oil passage 75A becomes low (Lo).

  The open / close shift valve 81 is slidably accommodated in the valve accommodating chamber and is switchable between a first operating position (right end in the drawing) and a second operating position (left end in the drawing) An annular supply port 81b formed on the inner peripheral surface of the central portion and in communication with the first line oil passage 75A, and an annular discharge port formed at a position adjacent to the supply port 81b and in communication with the second line oil passage 75B. 81c, a spring 81d disposed at one end (left end in the drawing) of the valve storage chamber to bias the valve body 81a from the second operating position to the first operating position, and the other end (right end in the drawing) A first valve control chamber 81e is provided to urge the valve 81a from the first operating position to the second operating position by introducing the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A, and one end of the valve storage chamber (see FIG. Provided at the middle left end) and the first solenoid valve 8 And a second valve control chamber 81f for urging the valve 81a from the second operation position to the first operation position by selectively introducing the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A, and the drain passage connected to the second valve control chamber 81f. And a drain port 81g.

  In the open / close shift valve 81, when the first solenoid valve 88 is turned off (OFF), the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A is applied to both ends of the valve 81a through the first valve control chamber 81e and the second valve control chamber 81f. Acts to move the valve body 81a to the first operating position at the other end (right end in the figure) of the valve storage chamber by the spring load of the spring 81d. When the valve body 81a is in the first operation position, the on-off shift valve 81 is closed, and the valve body 81a shuts off the supply port 81b and the discharge port 81c.

  On the other hand, when the first solenoid valve 88 is turned on (ON), the line pressure (Hi) of the first line oil passage 75A is supplied to the first valve control chamber 81e, and the first valve control chamber 81f is subjected to the first control. When the supply of the line pressure in the line oil passage 75A is cut off, the valve body 81a moves to the second operating position at one end (the left end in the drawing) of the valve storage chamber against the spring load of the spring 81d. When the valve body 81a is in the second operation position, the open / close shift valve 81 is opened, and the valve body 81a brings the supply port 81b into communication with the discharge port 81c.

  As described above, the first solenoid valve 88 brings the first line oil passage 75A into a low pressure state at the time of off control (power non-supply). On the other hand, at the time of on control (power supply), the first line oil passage 75A is brought into a high pressure state. Further, when the first line oil passage 75A is in the low pressure state, the open / close shift valve 81 causes the valve 81a to shut off the supply port 81b and the discharge port 81c so that the first line oil passage 75A and the second line oil passage 75B. When the first line oil passage 75A is in a high pressure state, the valve 81a connects the supply port 81b and the discharge port 81c to connect the first line oil passage 75A and the second line oil passage 75B. Allow the communication of

  The switching shift valve 74 is slidably accommodated in the valve accommodating chamber and is switchable between a first operating position (right end in the drawing) and a second operating position (left end in the drawing); An annular supply port 74b formed on the inner peripheral surface of the central portion and in communication with the second line oil passage 75B, and a position adjacent to one (left side in the drawing) of the supply port 74b form the first switching oil passage 77A. And an annular second exhaust port 74d formed at a position adjacent to the other (right side in the drawing) of the supply port 74b and in communication with the second switching oil passage 77B; A spring 74e disposed at one end (left end in the drawing) of the chamber to bias the valve body 74a from the second operating position to the first operating position, and provided at the other end (right end in the drawing) of the valve storage chamber The solenoid valve 83 selectively allows the first line to Adjacent to one of the first control port 74c and the first discharge port 74c (left side in the drawing), which brings the valve body 74a from the first operating position to the second operating position by introducing the line pressure of the oil passage 75A. A first drain port 74g formed at a position and connected to the drain passage, and a second drain port 74h formed at a position adjacent to the other (right side in the figure) of the second discharge port 74d and connected to the drain passage And.

  The second solenoid valve 83 is a 2-position 3-port switching valve including a valve body (ball) operated by on (power supply) / off (power non-supply) of the solenoid, and the first line oil passage 75A A line side port 83a connected to the valve side, a valve side port 83b connected to a second valve body control oil passage 79 connected to the valve body control chamber 74f of the switching shift valve 74, and a drain port 83c connected to the drain passage Have. The second solenoid valve 83 is on / off controlled by the control device CTR, and connects the line port 83a and the valve port 83b and shuts off the valve port 83b and the drain port 83c during on control. The line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A is applied to the tip end face of the valve body 74a through the control chamber 74f, and the line side port 83a and the valve side port 83b are shut off during the off control, and the valve side port 83b and the drain port 83c It connects and interrupts | blocks supply of the line pressure of the 1st line oil path 75A to the valve body control room 74f.

  In the switching shift valve 74, when the second solenoid valve 83 is turned off (OFF), the supply of the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A to the valve control chamber 74f is cut off, and the spring load of the spring 74e causes the valve 74a moves to the first operating position of the other end (right end in the figure) of the valve storage chamber. When the valve body 74a is in the first operation position, the switching shift valve 74 establishes communication between the supply port 74b and the first discharge port 74c and establishes communication between the second discharge port 74d and the second drain port 74h. At this time, if the first solenoid valve 88 is controlled to be on (ON), the high-pressure oil is first switched from the second line oil passage 75B through the supply port 74b and the first discharge port 74c of the switching shift valve 74. The oil passage 77A is supplied, and the actuator 58 switches the selector plate 54 to the operating state (CLOSE).

  On the other hand, when the second solenoid valve 83 is turned on (ON), the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A acts on the valve body 74a through the valve body control chamber 74f, and the valve body resists the spring load of the spring 74e. 74a moves to the second operating position on one end side (left side in the drawing) of the valve storage chamber. When the valve body 74a is in the second operating position, the switching shift valve 74 establishes communication between the supply port 74b and the second discharge port 74d and establishes communication between the first discharge port 74c and the first drain port 74g. At this time, if the first solenoid valve 88 is controlled to be on (ON), the high pressure oil is switched from the second line oil passage 75B to the second switch via the supply port 74b and the second discharge port 74d of the switching shift valve 74. The oil passage 77B is supplied, and the actuator 58 switches the selector plate 54 to the OFF state (OPEN).

  When the controller CTR controls the actuator 58 via the hydraulic drive mechanism 71, a control signal for controlling the electric oil pump 70 and a control signal for controlling on / off of the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve 83. And output. By means of the control device CTR, the hydraulic drive mechanism 71 of the rear wheel drive 1 can assume the three states described below.

FIG. 13A is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing a hydraulic pressure drive mechanism when the selector plate is not switched (at low vehicle speed, high vehicle speed, etc.).
When the switching of the selector plate 54 is not performed, the control device CTR drives the electric oil pump 70 to control both the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 to be off. By turning off the first solenoid valve 88, the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A becomes a low pressure state (Lo), and the open / close shift valve 81 is closed, so that the first line oil passage 75A and the second line oil passage 75B is shut off. Therefore, the actuator 58 does not operate, and the selector plate 54 maintains the operating state or the non-operating state.

FIG. 13B is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing a hydraulic pressure drive mechanism when the selector plate 54 is switched from the inoperative state (OPEN) to the operative state (CLOSE).
The control device CTR turns on the first solenoid valve 88 and turns off the second solenoid valve 83 while driving the electric oil pump 70 when the selector plate 54 is switched from the non-operation state to the operation state. . By turning on the first solenoid valve 88, the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A becomes high (Hi), and the open / close shift valve 81 is opened, so that the first line oil passage 75A and the second line oil passage It communicates with 75B. Further, by controlling the second solenoid valve 83 to be off, the switching shift valve 74 brings the supply port 74b into communication with the first discharge port 74c, and switches the high line pressure from the second line oil passage 75B to the first The oil is supplied to the oil passage 77A. Thus, the actuator 58 operates to switch the selector plate 54 from the inoperative state to the operative state.

FIG. 13C is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing a hydraulic pressure drive mechanism when the selector plate 54 is switched from the actuated state (CLOSE) to the non-actuated state (OPEN).
The control device CTR turns on both the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve 83 while driving the electric oil pump 70 when switching the selector plate 54 from the operating state to the non-operating state. By turning on the first solenoid valve 88, the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A becomes high (Hi), and the open / close shift valve 81 is opened, thereby the first line oil passage 75A and the second line oil passage 75B. And are communicated. Further, by turning on the second solenoid valve 83, the switching shift valve 74 brings the supply port 74b and the second discharge port 74d into communication with each other, and switches the high line pressure from the second line oil passage 75B to the second The oil is supplied to the oil passage 77B. Thus, the actuator 58 operates in the direction to switch the selector plate 54 from the actuated state to the non-actuated state.

  According to such a fluid pressure drive mechanism 71, power is supplied to the first solenoid valve 88 only when switching between the operating state and the non-operating state of the selector plate 54, and the first line oil passage 75A is brought into a high pressure state. The power consumption of the hydraulic drive mechanism 71 can be reduced. Furthermore, the second electromagnetic valve 83 does not require power when the selector plate 54 is switched from the non-operation state to the operation state via the actuator 58, and when the selector plate 54 is switched from the operation state to the non-operation state via the actuator 58. The power consumption of the hydraulic drive mechanism 71 can be further reduced.

[operation]
Next, an example of control of the hydraulic pressure drive mechanism 71 by the control device CTR according to each vehicle state and transition of the vehicle state associated therewith will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 14 shows the first solenoid valve 88 (HL-SOL), the second solenoid valve 83 (SLC-SOL), the electric oil pump 70 (EOP), the first line oil passage 75A (oil pressure), and the selector plate in each vehicle state. It is a table | surface which described the operating state of 54 (SLC).

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the vehicle state, the vehicle stop state (RDS stop state), the low vehicle speed state (RWD) by the rear wheel drive device 1 (RDS), and the high vehicle speed state by the front wheel drive device FDS from the low vehicle speed state SLC_CLOSE switching state in which the selector plate 54 is switched from the non-operating state (OPEN) to the operating state (CLOSE) to prevent the co-rotation of the first and second motors 2A, 2B prior to the transition to the front wheel drive FDS The SLC_OPEN switching state, in which the selector plate 54 is switched from the operating state (CLOSE) to the non-operating state (OPEN) prior to the transition from the high speed state to the regenerative state, The regeneration state according to RDS) and the reverse state (RVS) are included.

  In the stop state, the selector plate 54 is in the non-operation state (OPEN) by stopping after passing through the low vehicle speed state in the previous vehicle traveling, and the electric oil pump 70 is stopped, and the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve Both 83 are controlled off. Therefore, the first line oil passage 75A is in the non-pressure state, and the selector plate 54 maintains the non-operation state (OPEN).

  In the low vehicle speed state, the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve 83 are both turned off while driving the electric oil pump 70. Therefore, the first line oil passage 75A is in the low pressure state, and the selector plate 54 maintains the inoperative state (OPEN).

  In the SLC_CLOSE switching state, while the electric oil pump 70 is driven, the first solenoid valve 88 is controlled to be on, and the second solenoid valve 83 is controlled to be off. Therefore, the first line oil passage 75A is in the high pressure state, and the selector plate 54 is switched from the non-operating state (OPEN) to the operating state (CLOSE).

  In the high vehicle speed state, both the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 are controlled to be off while driving the electric oil pump 70. Therefore, the first line oil passage 75A is in the low pressure state, and the selector plate 54 maintains the operating state (CLOSE).

  In the SLC_OPEN switching state, the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve 83 are both controlled to be on while driving the electric oil pump 70. Therefore, the first line oil passage 75A is in the high pressure state, and the selector plate 54 is switched from the operating state (CLOSE) to the non-operating state (OPEN).

  In the regeneration state, both the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 are controlled to be off while driving the electric oil pump 70. Therefore, the first line oil passage 75A is in the low pressure state, and the selector plate 54 maintains the inoperative state (OPEN). The same applies to the reverse state.

  According to such control of the hydraulic pressure drive mechanism 71, the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve 83 are ON-controlled only when the selector plate 54 is switched, so that the power consumption of the hydraulic pressure drive mechanism 71 can be suppressed.

  Next, control when the control device CTR switches the selector plate 54 from the inactive state (OPEN) to the active state (CLOSE), and the control device CTR from the active state (CLOSE) to the inactive state (OPEN) Control at the time of switching to will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation of the hydraulic pressure drive mechanism 71. FIG. 16 is a timing chart showing the transition from low vehicle speed to high vehicle speed in FIG. 14, FIG. 17 is a timing chart showing the transition from high vehicle speed to regeneration in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows the procedure of the process performed when switching from (CLOSE) to a non-operation state (OPEN).

  As shown in FIG. 15, the control device CTR stops the electric oil pump 70 and controls both the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 off while the rear wheel drive device 1 (RDS) is stopped. The selector plate 54 maintains the non-operation state (OPEN) (S1).

  When the control device CTR determines that the rear wheel drive device 1 (RDS) is activated, the control device CTR turns off both the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 while driving the electric oil pump 70, so that the selector plate 54 is not The operating state (OPEN) is maintained (S2). In this state, the vehicle V travels at low speed such as start and acceleration by the rear wheel drive device 1 (RDS).

  When the vehicle speed becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined vehicle speed (high vehicle speed determination value: CLOSE vehicle speed), control device CTR issues a torque reduction instruction prior to switching selector plate 54 from the inactive state (OPEN) to the active state (CLOSE). Do. The torque down instruction is a process for smoothly switching the selector plate 54, and in a state where both the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 are controlled to be off while driving the electric oil pump 70, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the driving torque (total torque of the first and second electric motors 2A and 2B) of the rear wheel driving device 1 (RDS) is decreased to 0 Nm (S3).

  When the torque down is completed, the controller CTR issues an SLC_CLOSE instruction. The SLC_CLOSE command turns on the first solenoid valve 88 while driving the electric oil pump 70, and turns off the second solenoid valve 83, thereby operating the selector plate 54 from the non-operating state (OPEN) (CLOSE Switching to)) (S4).

  The control device CTR monitors the switching operation stroke of the selector plate 54 via the stroke sensor 90, and when the switching operation stroke of the selector plate 54 is completed, the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the electric solenoid pump 70 are driven. The second solenoid valves 83 are both turned off (S5). In this state, the vehicle V travels at a high speed by the front wheel drive device FDS. Further, the control device CTR drives the first motor 2A and the second motor 2B of the rear wheel drive device 1 (RDS) separated from the rear wheel Wr, and the rotational speeds of the first motor 2A and the second motor 2B are calculated. A rotation adjustment is performed to match a predetermined number of idle rotations. The stroke sensor 90 is not limited to one that directly detects the switching operation stroke of the selector plate 54, but may be one that detects the switching operation stroke of the actuator 58, the switching shift valve 74, or the open / close shift valve 81. .

  When the vehicle speed becomes equal to or less than a predetermined vehicle speed (low vehicle speed determination value: OPEN vehicle speed), the control device CTR performs rotation alignment prior to switching from the operating state (CLOSE) of the selector plate 54 to the non-operating state (OPEN). The rotation alignment is a process for smoothly switching the selector plate 54, and in a state where the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve 83 are both controlled to be off while driving the electric oil pump 70, as shown in FIG. As shown, the rotation on the rear wheel drive device 1 (RDS) side (foot-axis converted rotational speed of the first and second motors 2A, 2B) is adjusted to the rotation on the rear wheel Wr side (Rr wheel speed) (S6).

  When determining that the differential rotation between the rear wheel drive device 1 (RDS) side and the rear wheel Wr side has become equal to or less than a predetermined value, the control device CTR issues an SLC_OPEN instruction. The SLC_OPEN command switches the selector plate 54 from the operating state (CLOSE) to the non-operating state (OPEN) by turning on both the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 while driving the electric oil pump 70. (S7).

[Electromagnetic valve power supply order]
Next, the electromagnetic valve power supply sequence when the control device CTR switches the selector plate 54 from the operating state (CLOSE) to the non-operating state (OPEN) will be described with reference to FIG. 13C, FIG. 15 and FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 13C and FIG. 15, the control device CTR drives the electric oil pump 70 to switch the selector plate 54 from the operating state (CLOSE) to the non-operating state (OPEN). The second solenoid valve 83 is on-controlled together. By turning on the first solenoid valve 88, the line pressure of the first line oil passage 75A becomes high (Hi), and the open / close shift valve 81 is opened, thereby the first line oil passage 75A and the second line oil passage 75B. And are communicated. Further, by turning on the second solenoid valve 83, the switching shift valve 74 brings the supply port 74b and the second discharge port 74d into communication with each other, and switches the high line pressure from the second line oil passage 75B to the second The oil is supplied to the oil passage 77B. Thus, the actuator 58 operates in the direction to switch the selector plate 54 from the actuated state to the non-actuated state.

  However, when the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 are simultaneously turned on, the switching of the switching shift valve 74 by the second solenoid valve 83 is not in time, and the high line pressure from the second line oil passage 75B is There is a possibility that the switching shift valve 74 may be switched after flowing to the first switching oil passage 77A. Such a phenomenon delays the operation of the actuator 58, so that the responsiveness of the selector plate 54 when switching from the operating state (CLOSE) to the non-operating state (OPEN) is reduced.

  Therefore, the control device CTR according to the embodiment of the present invention supplies power to the second solenoid valve 83 when the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 are both turned on, and then the control device CTR sends the electric power to the first solenoid valve 88. Supply power. Thus, the switching of the switching shift valve 74 by the second solenoid valve 83 is started prior to the on control of the first solenoid valve 88, so the high line pressure from the second line oil passage 75B is (1) It is possible to prevent the fluid from flowing to the switching oil passage 77A, and to improve the responsiveness at the time of switching the selector plate 54 from the operating state (CLOSE) to the non-operating state (OPEN).

FIG. 19A is a timing chart when the first solenoid valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 are simultaneously controlled to be on. FIG. 19B is a timing chart when power is supplied to the first solenoid valve 88 after a predetermined time t when the power is supplied to the second solenoid valve 83.
19A and 19B, it can be seen that the required time until the detection value of the stroke sensor is fully increased is shorter than the required time T1 in FIG. 19A, and the required time T2 in FIG. 19B is shorter. This is because, in FIG. 19A, the hydraulic pressure Pc on the first discharge port 74c side rises once earlier than the hydraulic pressure Pd on the second discharge port 74d side, so the hydraulic pressure Pd on the second discharge port 74d side rises It takes time to In addition, after supplying electric power to the 2nd solenoid valve 83, predetermined time t until it supplies electric power to the 1st solenoid valve 88 is 0-20 milliseconds, for example, Preferably it is 5-15 milliseconds. The predetermined time t can be measured by a timer TIM (see FIG. 1) provided in the control device CTR. The control device CTR detects the end of switching of the switching shift valve 74 with a sensor device (not shown) provided on the switching shift valve 74 instead of measuring the predetermined time t with the timer TIM, and then sends the first electromagnetic valve 88 Power may be supplied.

  Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the control device CTR that realizes such an electromagnetic valve power supply sequence will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 18 shows a processing procedure performed by the control device CTR when the selector plate 54 is switched from the operating state (CLOSE) to the non-operating state (OPEN). First, the control device CTR sets the vehicle speed to the OPEN vehicle speed (see FIG. 17). It is judged whether it is the following or not (S11). If the determination result is NO, the control device CTR turns off the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve 83 because the selector plate 54 is in the operating state (CLOSE) (S12).

  On the other hand, when the controller CTR determines that the vehicle speed is equal to or less than the OPEN vehicle speed, the controller CTR performs rotation alignment prior to switching from the operating state (CLOSE) of the selector plate 54 to the non-operating state (OPEN) (S13). The rotation alignment is a process to match the foot axis converted rotation speed of the rotation on the side of the first motor 2A and the second motor 2B to the rotation on the side of the rear wheel Wr, and the rotation axis on the side of the first motor 2A and the second motor 2B. It is repeated until the differential rotation between the reduced rotation speed and the rotation on the rear wheel Wr side becomes equal to or less than a predetermined threshold (S14).

  When the rotation alignment is completed, the control device CTR first turns on the second solenoid valve 83, and then turns on the first solenoid valve 88 after a predetermined time t has elapsed (S15). Thereafter, the control device CTR determines whether or not the selector plate 54 has reached the non-operation position based on the detection value of the stroke sensor 90 (S16), and until the result of this determination becomes YES, the first electromagnetic The on control state of the valve 88 and the second solenoid valve 83 is maintained (S17). When the controller CTR determines that the selector plate 54 has reached the inoperative position, it turns off the first electromagnetic valve 88 and the second electromagnetic valve 83, and ends the switching process of the selector plate 54.

According to (1), since the second one-way power transmission means capable of mechanically transmitting the rotational power in the other direction of the drive source side to the driven portion side is provided, conventionally, the rotational power of the drive source side in the other direction Can be reduced in the fastening energy of the brake means, which has been required when transmitting to the driven portion (for example, during reverse travel). Further, since the second one-way power transmission means can mechanically transmit the rotational power in one direction on the driven part side to the drive source side, conventionally, the rotational power on one side of the driven part is on the drive source side It is possible to reduce the fastening energy of the brake means, which has been required for transmission (for example, during deceleration regeneration).

The hydraulic drive mechanism for controlling the switching means supplies power to the first solenoid valve only when switching between the first state and the second state of the switching means to bring the first hydraulic circuit into the high pressure state. As it is good, power consumption of the hydraulic drive mechanism can be reduced.
Further, the second electromagnetic valve does not require power when the switching means is switched to either the first state or the second state via the hydraulic actuator, and the switching means has the first state and the first state via the hydraulic actuator. Since it is only necessary to supply power when switching to the other of the two states, power consumption of the hydraulic drive mechanism can be further reduced.
