A power distribution device can be arranged. Further, since the output gear is integrally provided on the outer peripheral surface of the distribution output member, the output gear can also be arranged in the space occupied by the distribution output member in the axial direction. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the axial length of the space occupied by the distribution output member, the power distribution device, and the output gear by accommodating the power distribution device and the output gear in the space occupied by the distribution output member. In addition, since the output bearing that rotatably supports the distribution output member is arranged on the radially inner side of the distribution output member, the output gear can be connected to the outer peripheral surface of the distribution output member without being restricted by the axial position of the output bearing.

Accordingly, the axial length of the second rotating electrical machine output gear is often set longer than the axial length of the output gear. In such a case, if the torque output by the second rotating electrical machine is effectively transmitted to the first gear without waste while suppressing the axial dimension of the entire device, the axial length of the first gear is The axial direction length of the second rotating electrical machine output gear is set equal to the axial length of the second rotating electrical machine, and thus the axial length of the first gear is set longer than the axial length of the output gear. According to this configuration, the vacancy formed on the engine side in the axial direction and at a predetermined position from the input member in the radial direction is premised on the axial length settings of the first gear and the output gear as described above.

Therefore, since the first rotating electrical machine can be disposed close to the distribution output member side, the axial dimension of the entire apparatus can be shortened in consideration of the layout of the first rotating electrical machine.

A locking mechanism having a gear portion and a claw portion configured to be swingable about a predetermined fulcrum, and forcibly stopping the rotation of the distribution output member while the claw portion is engaged with the gear portion; It is preferable that the gear portion is provided integrally with the distribution output member at a position on the outer peripheral surface of the distribution output member and in a different axial direction from the output gear.

According to this configuration, by engaging the claw portion with the gear portion of the lock mechanism, the rotation of the distribution output member can be forcibly stopped and the wheel can be prohibited from rotating. Therefore, a parking lock function for maintaining the vehicle in a complete stop state can be given to the hybrid drive device. At this time, by providing the gear portion at a position different from the output gear in the axial direction, the gear portion can be integrally provided on the outer peripheral surface of the distribution output member without causing interference with the output gear. Thus, the gear mechanism can be housed in the space occupied by the power distribution device, the output gear, and the distribution output member, and the lock mechanism can be configured while suppressing an increase in the axial length.

It is an axial direction expanded sectional view of a hybrid drive concerning an embodiment of the present invention. It is principal part sectional drawing of the hybrid drive device which concerns on embodiment of this invention.

  An embodiment of a hybrid drive device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The hybrid drive device 1 is a drive device for a hybrid vehicle that can travel using both the engine E and the rotating electrical machines MG1 and MG2 as drive power sources. The hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the hybrid drive device 1 is disposed adjacent to the engine E placed horizontally in the vehicle in the width direction of the vehicle and connected in the axial direction of the output shaft Eo of the engine E. It is a hybrid drive device for FF (Front Engine Front Drive) vehicles.

  The hybrid drive device 1 is configured as a so-called two-motor split type hybrid drive device. The hybrid drive apparatus 1 distributes the torque of the engine E transmitted to the input shaft I and the first rotating electrical machine MG1 to the input shaft I that is drivingly connected to the engine E, the first rotor Ro1. A power distribution device PT that distributes and transmits to the output member 21 and an output gear 22 that can output torque transmitted to the distribution output member 21 to the wheel W side are provided. In addition, the second rotating electrical machine MG2 is drivingly connected to the distribution output member 21 and the output gear 22 via the counter gear mechanism C. In such a configuration, the hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment rotatably supports the arrangement configuration of the power distribution device PT, the distribution output member 21, and the output gear 22, and the output gear 22 and the distribution output member 21. The bearing 61 has a feature in the arrangement configuration.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the power distribution device PT is entirely disposed radially inward of the distribution output member 21 in the axial direction with the distribution output member 21, and the power distribution device PT. The ring gear R is provided integrally with the distribution output member 21 on the inner peripheral surface 21 b of the distribution output member 21, and the output gear 22 is provided integrally with the distribution output member 21 on the outer peripheral surface 21 a of the distribution output member 21. ing. In addition, an output bearing 61 is provided that is disposed on the radially inner side of the distribution output member 21 and rotatably supports the distribution output member 21 from the radially inner side. The output bearing 61 and the output gear 22 overlap in the axial direction. Are arranged. By the combination of these characteristic arrangement configurations, the hybrid drive device 1 that can shorten the axial dimension of the entire device is realized. Below, the hybrid drive device 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated in detail.

1. Overall Configuration of Hybrid Drive Device First, the overall configuration of the hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the input shaft I is drivingly connected to the engine E. Here, the engine E is an internal combustion engine that is driven by the combustion of fuel. For example, various known engines such as a gasoline engine and a diesel engine can be used. In this example, the input shaft I is drivably coupled to an engine output shaft Eo such as a crankshaft of the engine E via a damper D. A configuration in which the input shaft I is directly coupled to the engine output shaft Eo via a clutch or the like in addition to the damper D or directly without the damper D or the clutch is also suitable. In the present embodiment, the input shaft I corresponds to the “input member” in the present invention.

  The first rotating electrical machine MG1 includes a first stator St1 fixed to the case 2 and a first rotor Ro1 that is rotatably supported on the radially inner side of the first stator St1. The first rotor Ro1 is drivingly coupled so as to rotate integrally with the sun gear S of the power distribution device PT. The first rotating electrical machine MG1 can perform a function as a motor (electric motor) that generates power upon receiving power supply and a function as a generator (generator) that generates power upon receiving power supply. It is said that. Therefore, the first rotating electrical machine MG1 is electrically connected to a power storage device (not shown). In this example, a battery is used as the power storage device. Note that it is also preferable to use a capacitor or the like as the power storage device. In this example, the first rotating electrical machine MG1 generates power by the torque of the input shaft I (engine E) mainly input via the power distribution device PT, charges the battery, or drives the second rotating electrical machine MG2. It functions as a generator that supplies power to However, the first rotating electrical machine MG1 may function as a motor that powers and outputs driving force when the vehicle is traveling at high speed or when the engine E is started.

  The second rotating electrical machine MG2 includes a second stator St2 fixed to the case 2 and a second rotor Ro2 that is rotatably supported on the radially inner side of the second stator St2. The second rotor Ro <b> 2 is drivingly connected so as to rotate integrally with the second rotating electrical machine output gear 37. The second rotating electrical machine MG2 can perform a function as a motor (electric motor) that generates power by receiving power supply and a function as a generator (generator) that generates power by receiving power supply. It is said that. Therefore, the second rotating electrical machine MG2 is also electrically connected to a battery as a power storage device. In this example, the second rotating electrical machine MG2 mainly functions as a motor that assists the driving force for running the vehicle. However, when the vehicle is decelerated, the second rotating electrical machine MG2 may function as a generator that regenerates the inertial force of the vehicle as electric energy.

  In the present embodiment, the power distribution device PT is a single pinion type planetary gear mechanism arranged coaxially with the input shaft I. In other words, the power distribution device PT has three rotating elements: a carrier CA that supports a plurality of pinion gears, and a sun gear S and a ring gear R that mesh with the pinion gears. The sun gear S is drivingly connected so as to rotate integrally with the first rotor shaft 31 of the first rotor Ro1 of the first rotating electrical machine MG1. The carrier CA is drivingly connected so as to rotate integrally with the input shaft I. The ring gear R is formed integrally with the distribution output member 21. These three rotating elements of the power distribution device PT are a sun gear S (first rotating element), a carrier CA (second rotating element), and a ring gear R (third rotating element) in the order of rotation speed. The “order of rotational speed” is either the order from the high speed side to the low speed side or the order from the low speed side to the high speed side, depending on the rotational state of the planetary gear mechanism constituting the power distribution device PT. In any case, the order of the rotating elements does not change.

  The power distribution device PT distributes and transmits the torque of the engine E transmitted to the input shaft I to the first rotating electrical machine MG1 and the distribution output member 21. In the power distribution device PT, the input shaft I is drivingly connected to a carrier CA that is intermediate in the order of rotational speed. In addition, the first rotor Ro1 of the first rotating electrical machine MG1 is drivingly connected to the sun gear S on one side in the order of rotational speed, and the ring gear R on the other side in the order of rotational speed is formed integrally with the distribution output member 21. Has been. In the hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment, the torque in the positive direction of the engine E is transmitted to the carrier CA that is intermediate in the order of rotational speed via the input shaft I, and the sun gear S2 that is on the one side in the order of rotational speed. The negative torque output from the first rotating electrical machine MG1 is transmitted to the first rotor shaft 31. The torque in the negative direction of the first rotating electrical machine MG1 functions as a reaction force receiver for the torque of the engine E, so that the power distribution device PT is one of the torques of the engine E transmitted to the carrier CA via the input shaft I. The portion is distributed to the first rotating electrical machine MG1, and the torque attenuated with respect to the torque of the engine E is transmitted to the distribution output member 21 via the ring gear R.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the distribution output member 21 is a substantially cylindrical member provided so as to surround the radially outer side of the power distribution device PT. A ring gear R of the power distribution device PT is formed integrally with the distribution output member 21 on the inner peripheral surface 21 b of the distribution output member 21. An output gear 22 is formed integrally with the distribution output member 21 on the outer peripheral surface 21 a of the distribution output member 21. That is, in the present embodiment, the ring gear R and the output gear 22 of the power distribution device PT are integrally formed on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the distribution output member 21. Thereby, the torque transmitted to the distribution output member 21 via the ring gear R of the power distribution device PT can be output to the wheel W side via the output gear 22.

  The hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment further includes a counter gear mechanism C. The counter gear mechanism C reverses the rotation direction of the output gear 22 and further transmits the torque output from the output gear 22 to the wheel W side. The counter gear mechanism C includes a counter shaft 41, a first gear 42, and a second gear 43. The first gear 42 meshes with the output gear 22. Further, the first gear 42 meshes with the second rotating electrical machine output gear 37 at a position different from the output gear 22 in the circumferential direction. The second gear 43 meshes with a differential input gear 46 included in an output differential gear device DF described later. Therefore, the counter gear mechanism C reverses the rotation direction of the output gear 22 and the second rotating electrical machine output gear 37, and outputs the torque transmitted to the output gear 22 and the torque of the second rotating electrical machine MG2 to the output differential gear device. Communicate to DF.

  The hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment further includes an output differential gear device DF. The output differential gear device DF has a differential input gear 46 and distributes the torque transmitted to the differential input gear 46 to the plurality of wheels W for transmission. In this example, the output differential gear device DF is a differential gear mechanism using a plurality of bevel gears that mesh with each other, and is transmitted to the differential input gear 46 via the second gear 43 of the counter gear mechanism C. Is distributed to the two left and right wheels W via the axle O, respectively. At this time, the output differential gear unit DF transmits the rotation to the wheel W while reversing the rotation direction of the second gear 43. As a result, the hybrid drive device 1 rotates the wheel W in the same direction as the rotation direction of the input shaft I (engine E) and travels in the same direction as the input shaft I (engine E) and the second rotating electrical machine MG2 during forward travel. This torque is transmitted to the wheels W to drive the vehicle.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment includes an input shaft I, a power distribution device PT, a first shaft A1 on which the first rotating electrical machine MG1 is disposed, and a second rotating electrical machine MG2. The second shaft A2 is arranged, the third shaft A3 on which the output differential gear device DF is arranged, and the fourth shaft A4 on which the counter gear mechanism C is arranged separately. . The first axis A1, the second axis A2, the third axis A3, and the fourth axis A4 are arranged in parallel to each other. In the illustrated example, the first axis A1, the second axis A2, and the third axis A3 are arranged so that a line connecting these axes when viewed from the axial direction forms a triangle, and the fourth axis A4 is an axis. It is arranged inside the triangle as seen from the direction.

The partition wall 10 and the end support wall 4 are integrally formed. The rear cover 2c is formed as a substantially flat plate-like member having a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the case peripheral wall 3 so as to close the end opening on the other axial side of the case peripheral wall 3 of the case body 2a.

  The end support wall 4 has a shape extending at least in the radial direction, and extends in the radial direction and the circumferential direction in the present embodiment. The end support wall 4 is formed with an axial through hole, and an input shaft I inserted through the through hole is inserted into the case 2 through the end support wall 4. The end support wall 4 has a cylindrical (boss shape) axial direction around the input shaft I and protrudes to the other side in the axial direction (the power distribution device PT side that is the accommodation space P side when viewed from the end support wall 4). A protrusion 5 is provided. Further, the end support wall 4 is a cylindrical (boss-like) projecting to the other side in the axial direction at a position spaced apart from the axial projecting portion 5 on the radially outer side of the axial projecting portion 5. An axial protrusion 6 is provided. The axial protrusion 5 and the axial protrusion 6 are formed integrally with the end support wall 4.

  The intermediate support wall 7 has a shape extending at least in the radial direction, and extends in the radial direction and the circumferential direction in the present embodiment. A through hole in the axial direction is formed in the intermediate support wall 7, and the first rotor shaft 31 of the first rotating electrical machine MG <b> 1 inserted through the through hole penetrates the intermediate support wall 7 to drive power in the accommodation space P. It is connected to the sun gear S of the distributor PT. The intermediate support wall 7 has a cylindrical (boss-shaped) axial direction that protrudes around the first rotor shaft 31 in one axial direction (the power distribution device PT side that is the accommodation space P when viewed from the intermediate support wall 7). A protrusion 8 is provided. The axial protrusion 8 is formed integrally with the intermediate support wall 7. Therefore, in this example, the axial protrusion 5 and the axial protrusion 6 formed integrally with the end support wall 4 and the axial protrusion 8 formed integrally with the intermediate support wall 7 are: It arrange | positions so that it may mutually face in the accommodation space P. As shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the intermediate support wall 7 corresponds to a “support wall” in the present invention, and the axial protruding portion 8 of the intermediate support wall 7 corresponds to a “tubular portion” in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a pump cover 2d is attached to the end surface of the rear cover 2c on one side in the axial direction, which is the inner side of the case 2. The pump cover 2d is fastened and fixed to the rear cover 2c by a fastening member such as a bolt while being in contact with the rear cover 2c from one side in the axial direction. A pump chamber is formed between the rear cover 2c and the pump cover 2d, and an oil pump 55 is disposed in the pump chamber. As such an oil pump 55, in this embodiment, an inscribed gear pump having an inner rotor and an outer rotor is used. In the present embodiment, the inner rotor of the oil pump 55 is driven by a tubular pump drive shaft 54 that is coupled to rotate integrally with the input shaft I. The oil discharged by the oil pump 55 passes through the in-shaft oil passage 52 formed in the inner diameter portion of the pump drive shaft 54 and the input shaft I to the power distribution device PT, the plurality of gears, the plurality of bearings, and the like. Supplied to perform lubrication and cooling. The pump cover 2d includes a cylindrical (boss-shaped) axial protrusion 9 that protrudes on one axial side (the first rotating electrical machine MG1 side that is the inner side of the case 2). The axial protrusion 9 is formed integrally with the pump cover 2d.

  The input shaft I is a shaft for inputting the torque of the engine E into the hybrid drive device 1, and is connected to the engine E at one end in the axial direction as shown in FIGS. Here, the input shaft I is disposed so as to penetrate the case 2, and rotates integrally with the engine output shaft Eo of the engine E via the damper D on one side in the axial direction of the end support wall 4. It is connected. The damper D is a device that transmits the rotation of the engine output shaft Eo to the input shaft I while attenuating torsional vibration of the engine output shaft Eo, and various known devices can be used. In the present embodiment, the damper D is configured to have a shape that is symmetrical in the axial direction and that the axial width becomes narrower from the input shaft I toward the radially outer side. The input shaft I is supported by the axial projecting portion 5 of the end support wall 4 while being rotatable via the first needle bearing 69. An oil seal 59 is disposed between the end support wall 4 and the input shaft I to suppress oil leakage to one axial side (damper D and engine E side). In the present embodiment, the first rotor shaft 31 of the first rotating electrical machine MG1 is formed in a tubular shape having an axial through hole in the inner diameter portion, and the input shaft I is inserted into the through hole of the first rotor shaft 31. An end portion on the other side in the axial direction is inserted. At this time, the input shaft I is supported by the first rotor shaft 31 in a rotatable state via the second needle bearing 70.

  The input shaft I has a flange portion 51 extending in the radial direction from the input shaft I at the center in the axial direction. The flange portion 51 is formed integrally with the input shaft I. The flange 51 passes between the sun gear S connected to the first rotor shaft 31 of the first rotating electrical machine MG1 and the axial protrusion 5 of the end support wall 4 and is connected to the carrier CA of the power distribution device PT. Has been. On both sides in the axial direction of the flange portion 51, the axial protruding portion 5 and the sun gear S of the end support wall 4 are in contact with each other via a first thrust bearing 67 and a second thrust bearing 68, respectively. That is, the first thrust bearing 67 is disposed between the end face on one axial side of the flange portion 51 and the end face on the other axial side of the axial protrusion 5 so as to be in contact with them. A second thrust bearing 68 is disposed between the end surface on the other axial side of the flange portion 51 and the end surface on the one axial side of the sun gear S so as to be in contact therewith.

  The first rotor shaft 31 is a shaft for inputting the torque of the first rotating electrical machine MG1 to the sun gear S of the power distribution device PT (or inputting the torque transmitted to the sun gear S to the first rotating electrical machine MG1). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is splined to the sun gear S at one end in the axial direction. The first rotor shaft 31 is supported by the axial protruding portion 8 of the intermediate support wall 7 in a rotatable state via the first rotor bearing 63. Further, the first rotor shaft 31 is pumped in a rotatable state via the second rotor bearing 64 at a position different from the first rotor bearing 63 in the axial direction (in this example, the end portion on the other side in the axial direction). It is supported by the axial protrusion 9 of the cover 2d. In the present embodiment, a rotation sensor 57 for detecting the rotation phase of the first rotor Ro1 of the first rotating electrical machine MG1 is disposed so as to surround the first rotor shaft 31. The rotation sensor 57 is disposed adjacent to the pump cover 2d and the second rotor bearing 64 in the axial direction on one side in the axial direction. As such a rotation sensor 57, a resolver or the like can be used. In the present embodiment, the first rotor bearing 63 corresponds to the “rotor bearing” in the present invention.

  A distribution output member 21 is disposed on the outer side in the radial direction so as to surround the sun gear S and the carrier CA. The distribution output member 21 is a cylindrical member that occupies substantially the entire axial direction of the accommodation space P. A ring gear R of the power distribution device PT is formed integrally with the distribution output member 21 on the inner peripheral surface 21 b of the distribution output member 21. The ring gear R is formed at the center of the distribution output member 21 in the axial direction. In this example, the distribution output member 21 has two axial step portions 23 and 24 on its inner peripheral surface 21b. Here, the “step in the axial direction” on the inner peripheral surface is a portion formed at a predetermined position in the axial direction of the distribution output member 21 where the inner diameter of the distribution output member 21 changes at the position. The inner diameter of the portion between the two step portions 23 and 24 in the axial direction is formed to be smaller than the inner diameter of the portion that is on the outer side in the axial direction with respect to the two step portions 23 and 24. . And the ring gear R is formed in the internal peripheral surface 21b of the distribution output member 21 in the said small diameter part. As a result, the entire power distribution device PT is disposed on the radially inner side of the distribution output member 21 so as to overlap the distribution output member 21 in the axial direction.

  The distribution output member 21 is supported in a rotatable state with respect to the case 2 at a plurality of axial positions (here, two positions). In the present embodiment, the distribution output member 21 is connected to the case 2 via the first output bearing 61 and the second output bearing 62 that are disposed radially inward of the distribution output member 21 at both axial ends thereof. Is supported in a rotatable state. More specifically, the distribution output member 21 has an end portion on one side in the axial direction between the large-diameter portion on one side in the axial direction on the inner peripheral surface 21b and the axial projection 6 on the end support wall 4. Is supported rotatably via a first output bearing 61 disposed in the position. The distribution output member 21 is disposed between the large-diameter portion on the other axial side of the inner peripheral surface 21b and the axial protruding portion 8 of the intermediate support wall 7 at the end on the other axial side. A dual output bearing 62 is rotatably supported. In this way, the distribution output member 21 is 2 with respect to the axial protrusion 6 of the end support wall 4 and the axial protrusion 8 of the intermediate support wall 7 arranged to face each other in the accommodation space P. The two output bearings 61 and 62 are rotatably supported from the inside in the radial direction. Thus, by adopting a configuration that supports the distribution output member 21 from the radially inner side, the two output bearings 61 and 62 can be reduced in diameter compared to a configuration that supports the distribution output member 21 from the radially outer side. Is possible.

  An output gear 22 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 21 a of the distribution output member 21. In other words, in the present embodiment, the output gear 22 is, for example, a relatively small-diameter sleeve formed so as to be radially connected to the distribution output member 21 via another member and to surround the input shaft I. It is not formed on a member (see, for example, FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1) or the like, but is formed integrally with the distribution output member 21 on the outer peripheral surface 21a of the distribution output member 21. As described above, in the present embodiment, the distribution output member 21 is supported from the radially inner side by the two output bearings 61 and 62, so that the output gear 22 formed on the outer peripheral surface 21 a of the distribution output member 21 includes two output gears 22. There is no restriction on the axial position of the output bearings 61 and 62. Therefore, such a configuration has an advantage that the degree of freedom regarding the axial position of the output gear 22 becomes very high.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the output gear 22 is formed with a position setting such that the output gear 22 is disposed close to the end portion on the one axial side (engine E side) of the distribution output member 21. As a result, the components of the counter gear mechanism C, the second rotating electrical machine MG2, the output differential gear device DF, and the like disposed on the downstream side of the power transmission path with respect to the output gear 22 are also axially one side (engine E side) can be arranged. In the position setting of the output gear 22 as described above, the output gear 22 is axially connected to the first output bearing 61 disposed at the end on the one axial side, on the radially inner side of the distribution output member 21. It will be arranged in duplicate. Thereby, compared with the case where the distribution output member 21, the first output bearing 61, and the output gear 22 are arranged side by side in the axial direction, the axial length of the space in which these are arranged is shortened.

  In the present embodiment, a parking gear 82 is formed at the end on the other axial side (the intermediate support wall 7 side) of the outer peripheral surface 21 a of the distribution output member 21. The parking gear 82 is formed integrally with the distribution output member 21. The parking gear 82 is disposed on the radially inner side of the distribution output member 21 so as to overlap with the second output bearing 62 disposed at the end portion on the other axial direction side in the axial direction. Thereby, compared with the case where the distribution output member 21, the 2nd output bearing 62, and the parking gear 82 are arrange | positioned along with an axial direction, the axial direction length of the space where these are arrange | positioned is shortened. The parking gear 82 constitutes a part of the parking lock mechanism 81. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the parking lock mechanism 81 has a lock member 83 configured to be swingable about a predetermined swing support point 84, and the lock member 83 has a claw portion 85. It is integrally formed. The lock member 83 and the claw portion 85 are swung within a predetermined movable range by a cam mechanism (not shown), and the parking lock mechanism 81 outputs the distribution output in a state where the claw portion 85 is engaged with and engaged with the parking gear 82. The rotation of the member 21 is forcibly stopped. On the other hand, the parking lock mechanism 81 allows the distribution output member 21 to rotate in a state in which the pawl portions 85 are not engaged with the parking gear 82 and are disengaged. In the present embodiment, the parking gear 82 corresponds to the “gear portion” in the present invention, and the parking lock mechanism 81 corresponds to the “lock mechanism” in the present invention.

  The second rotor shaft 36 is a shaft for inputting the driving force of the second rotating electrical machine MG2 to the second rotating electrical machine output gear 37 formed integrally with the shaft member 38. As shown in FIG. The inner peripheral surface of the end portion on one side in the direction is splined to the outer peripheral surface of the end portion on the other side in the axial direction of the shaft member 38. The second rotor shaft 36 and the shaft member 38 that rotate integrally are supported by the case 2 in a state that they can rotate via a plurality of bearings at a plurality of positions in the axial direction. Although not shown, a rotation sensor such as a resolver for detecting the rotation phase of the second rotor Ro2 of the second rotating electrical machine MG2 is provided so as to surround the second rotor shaft 36.

  The first gear 42 and the second gear 43 constituting the counter gear mechanism C are each formed integrally with the counter shaft 41. Thereby, the counter shaft 41, the first gear 42, and the second gear 43 rotate integrally. In the present embodiment, the second gear 43 is disposed on the other side in the axial direction with respect to the first gear 42. The counter shaft 41 is supported in a rotatable state with respect to the case 2 at a plurality of axial positions (here, two positions). In this example, the counter shaft 41 is supported in a state that it can rotate with respect to the case 2 via the first counter bearing 65 at one end in the axial direction, and the second counter bearing at the other end in the axial direction. It is supported in a rotatable state with respect to the case 2 via 66. The first gear support member 44 that supports the first gear 42 is disposed adjacent to the first counter bearing 65 on the other side in the axial direction, and the second gear support member 45 that supports the second gear 43 is the second counter. It is arranged adjacent to one side in the axial direction with respect to the bearing 66. The number of teeth of the second gear 43 is set to be smaller than the number of teeth of the first gear 42. These gear ratios (tooth ratio) can be appropriately changed according to vehicle characteristics and the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first gear 42 meshes with both the output gear 22 and the second rotating electrical machine output gear 37. In the present embodiment, since the second rotating electrical machine MG2 basically outputs a relatively large assist torque for driving the vehicle, the maximum value of the torque that can be transmitted from the output gear 22 to the first gear 42 and the second value. When the maximum value of the torque that can be transmitted from the rotary electric machine output gear 37 to the first gear 42 is compared, the latter becomes larger. Therefore, in the hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment, the axial length of the second rotating electrical machine output gear 37 is set to be longer than the axial length of the output gear 22 so as to enable greater torque transmission. . In the present embodiment, the shaft of the first gear 42 can be effectively transmitted to the first gear 42 without waste while suppressing the axial dimension of the entire hybrid drive device 1. The direction length is set equal to the axial length of the second rotating electrical machine output gear 37. Thereby, the axial length of the first gear 42 is longer than the axial length of the output gear 22. Therefore, the first gear 42 has a portion that is not meshed with the output gear 22 (here, “non-meshing portion N” (see FIG. 4)).

  The meshing positions of the first gear 42 and the output gear 22 are set so that the first gear 42 and the output gear 22 mesh with the other end in the axial direction aligned. In other words, the meshing positions of the first gear 42 and the output gear 22 are such that all of the non-meshing portions N in the first gear 42 are on one side in the axial direction (engine side) with respect to the output gear 22. Is set. In the present embodiment, the non-meshing portion N is disposed at a position overlapping with the first counter bearing 65 disposed adjacent to the first gear 42 on the one axial side (engine E). ing. The end support wall 4 at the radial position corresponding to the portion (or the non-meshing portion N) where the output gear 22 and the first gear 42 mesh with each other is formed thin in the axial direction as shown in FIG. ing. And the non-meshing part N of the first gear 42 is arranged in a vacant space formed on the radially outer side of the axially protruding part 6 of the end support wall 4 on the counter gear mechanism C side. Accordingly, it is possible to arrange the counter gear mechanism C as close as possible to the one side in the axial direction (engine E side) as much as possible by effectively utilizing the vacant space formed on the radially outer side of the axial protrusion 6. It has become. Accordingly, the second rotating electrical machine MG2 and the output differential gear device DF that are directly drive-coupled to the counter gear mechanism C may be arranged as close as possible to one side in the axial direction (engine E side). It is possible.

3. Arrangement Configuration of Each Part of Hybrid Drive Device Next, an arrangement configuration of each part of the hybrid drive device 1 according to this embodiment will be described. Here, according to the characteristic configuration of the present invention, the arrangement configuration of each component housed mainly in the housing space P, in particular, the first output bearing 61 and the second output bearing 62 that rotatably support the distribution output member 21. An arrangement configuration of each component centering on the above will be described.

  First, paying attention to the arrangement configuration of each component centering on the second output bearing 62, the first rotor bearing 63 overlaps the second output bearing 62 in the axial direction inside the second output bearing 62 in the radial direction. Are arranged. In the present embodiment, the second output bearing 62 and the first rotor bearing 63 are both disposed in contact with the axial protrusion 8 formed integrally with the intermediate support wall 7. Here, the axial protrusion 8 has an axial length slightly longer than the axial lengths of the second output bearing 62 and the first rotor bearing 63. Then, the second output bearing 62 is arranged in contact with the outer peripheral surface 8a of the axial projecting portion 8 with the end on one side in the axial direction aligned, and in contact with the inner peripheral surface 8b of the axial projecting portion 8, The first rotor bearing 63 is arranged with the end on the other side in the axial direction aligned. As a result, a part of the first rotor bearing 63 on one side in the axial direction (occupies most in this example) and a part on the other side in the axial direction of the second output bearing 62 overlap in the axial direction. Are arranged.

  In the present embodiment, the second gear 43 of the counter gear mechanism C is disposed on the radially outer side of the second output bearing 62 so as to overlap the second output bearing 62 in the axial direction. Further, the second gear 43 is arranged on the radially outer side of the first rotor bearing 63 so as to overlap with the first rotor bearing 63 in the axial direction. In the present example, the second output bearing 62 and the first rotor bearing 63 are respectively disposed so as to overlap the second gear 43 in the axial direction. In such a configuration, the first rotor bearing 63, the second output bearing 62, and the second gear 43 are all arranged overlapping in the axial direction. In the present embodiment, the parking gear 82 formed on the outer peripheral surface 21a of the distribution output member 21 is disposed so as to overlap the second output bearing 62 in the axial direction. All of the two-output bearing 62, the parking gear 82, and the second gear 43 are overlapped in the axial direction.

  Next, paying attention to the arrangement configuration of each component centering on the first output bearing 61, the output gear 22 overlaps the first output bearing 61 in the axial direction on the radially outer side of the first output bearing 61. Are arranged. As described above, the output gear 22 is integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface 21 a of the distribution output member 21 so as to approach the end portion on the one axial side of the distribution output member 21. The first output bearing 61 is arranged in contact with the inner peripheral surface 21b of the distribution output member 21 with the distribution output member 21 and the end on one side in the axial direction aligned. As a result, a part on one side in the axial direction of the output gear 22 and a part on the other side in the axial direction of the first output bearing 61 (occupying most of the parts in this example) overlap with each other in the axial direction. Has been. Since the output gear 22 is engaged with the first gear 42 of the counter gear mechanism C, the first gear 42 naturally overlaps with the first output bearing 61 in the axial direction.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first needle bearing 69 is arranged on the radially inner side of the first output bearing 61 so as to overlap the first output bearing 61 in the axial direction. In this example, the first needle bearing 69 is substantially entirely overlapped with the first output gear 61 in the axial direction. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first counter bearing 65 is disposed on the radially outer side of the first output bearing 61 so as to overlap the first output bearing 61 in the axial direction. In this example, the first counter bearing 65 is arranged such that a part of the other axial side of the first counter bearing 65 slightly overlaps with a part of the first output bearing 61 on the one axial side. Therefore, in the present embodiment, all of the first needle bearing 69, the first output bearing 61, the output gear 22, the first gear 42, and the first counter bearing 65 are arranged overlapping in the axial direction. .

  With reference to FIG. 4, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the first output bearing 61, the non-meshing portion N in the first gear 42, and the first counter bearing 65 are directed radially outward from the input shaft I. They are arranged in this order, and the amount of protrusion to the one axial side (engine E side) increases in this order. And the edge part support wall 4 also has the stepped shape according to it, and is comprised. However, in the present embodiment, the shape of the damper D disposed between the end support wall 4 and the engine E is symmetrical in the axial direction, and the axial width increases from the input shaft I toward the radially outer side. The shape becomes narrower. Therefore, since these are opposed to each other in a shape complementary to each other in the axial direction, there is almost no problem such as an increase in axial dimension.

  In the hybrid drive device 1 according to the present embodiment, since the output gear 22 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 21a of the distribution output member 21 formed in a cylindrical shape, the distribution output member 21 and the output gear 22 (here, these The axial length of the space occupied by other members (when other members are interposed between them) is equal to the axial length of the distribution output member 21 and is very short. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the power distribution device PT is disposed on the radially inner side of the distribution output member 21 having a short axial length so as to overlap the distribution output member 21 in the axial direction. Further, with respect to the arrangement of each component, the arrangement as described above centering on the two output bearings 61 and 62 that rotatably support the distribution output member 21 is employed. As a result, the power distribution device PT, the first output bearing 61, the second output bearing 62, the first rotor bearing 63, and the parking gear 82 are placed in a space occupied by the distribution output member 21 in the axial direction (substantially equal to the accommodation space P). All the components such as the first gear 42 and the second gear 43 can be arranged.

  In the present embodiment, the first rotor bearing 63 is disposed so as to overlap the second output bearing 62 in the axial direction, so that the first rotating electrical machine MG1 is close to the power distribution device PT and the distribution output member 21 in the axial direction. It is possible to arrange them. Therefore, the axial length of the space occupied by the first rotating electrical machine MG1, the distribution output member 21, and the output gear 22 (including other members when other members are interposed therebetween) is also greatly increased. It can be shortened. Thereby, in the hybrid drive device 1 which concerns on this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the axial direction dimension of the whole apparatus significantly compared with the past.
