  However, in the power transmission device disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the output-side rotor is always connected to the input shaft of the transmission, the loss of regenerative power increases due to the friction torque of the transmission when the regenerative power is acquired. There was a problem. Further, since the output-side rotor is always connected to the input shaft of the transmission, the torque transmitted to the drive wheels when the gear of the transmission is changed is cut off, so-called torque loss occurs, and the passenger feels uncomfortable. There was a risk of causing it.

  In the power transmission device disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the output side rotor is always connected to the output shaft of the transmission, the output side rotor needs to rotate at a high speed as the vehicle speed increases. However, since the motor torque that can be output tends to decrease if the output-side rotor rotates at a higher speed than the predetermined rotation speed, the rotation speed at which the required motor torque cannot be output when the output-side rotor is in a high-speed rotation state. (Hereinafter, referred to as “the rotational speed at which the motor cannot operate”). For example, there is a problem in that motor assist during high-speed traveling cannot be effectively performed.

In this way, torque transmission from the output-side rotor during shifting can be switched to the out position, and torque can be transmitted to the drive wheels by the output-side rotor of the rotating electrical machine (shift assist) without going through the transmission. . As a result, it is possible to prevent a “torque loss” at the time of shifting and to secure a traveling state that does not cause the passenger to feel uncomfortable.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, when the switching mechanism is in the in position and the deceleration control signal of the traveling vehicle control state control device is sent, the regeneration high efficiency control device switches the switching mechanism to the out position. Thus, loss caused by the friction torque of the transmission can be prevented, and regenerative power can be obtained efficiently.
Further, when the switching mechanism is in the out position and the motor over-rotation prevention signal of the traveling vehicle control state control device is transmitted, the motor over-rotation prevention control device switches the switching mechanism to the in-position, thereby The required motor torque can be output by using a high gear ratio and lowering the rotational speed of the output side rotor.
Further, when the switching mechanism is in the in position and the shifting vehicle control signal is sent from the traveling vehicle control state control device, the lockup clutch is switched to the disengaged position, and the switching mechanism is switched to the out position, thereby shifting the transmission. Torque loss associated with the change can be prevented.
In this way, by switching the switching mechanism between the in position and the out position according to the traveling state of the vehicle, efficient regenerative power can be obtained, riding comfort can be improved, and motor assistance at high speed can be achieved.

For example, the system control device 18 may select a shift operation signal such as “shift start signal”, “during shift signal”, “shift end signal” at the time of shifting, or “motor” when the rotor of the rotating electrical machine 10 is at a high speed. An “over-rotation prevention signal”, a “deceleration control signal” during deceleration, and the like are sent to the power transmission mechanism control device 20. It is to be noted that the vehicle is controlled by a shift operation signal, a motor over-rotation prevention signal, a deceleration control signal, an instruction signal for increasing / decreasing the engine speed to the engine control unit 26, an instruction signal for shifting timing to the transmission control unit 28, etc. A signal is constructed.

Thereby, the supply amount of the air-fuel mixture containing fuel increases, and the engine speed increases. Further, when the engine control device 26 receives a deceleration command from the system control device 18, the engine control device 26 decreases the throttle opening to decrease the engine speed.

  The transmission 8 is a so-called AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) in which a clutch device (not shown) whose engagement and disengagement is controlled by the operation of a clutch actuator (not shown) is attached to an existing manual transmission to automate the shifting. The transmission 8 is a parallel-shaft gear transmission having, for example, six forward speeds and one reverse speed, and includes an input shaft (transmission device input shaft 32) and an output shaft (transmission device output shaft 34). A transmission gear train having a gear ratio is provided.

  The transmission input shaft 32 is connected so as to be able to transmit rotation from the engine 4 and the rotating electrical machine 10 side, and a differential device (differential device) 36 is connected to the drive shaft 7 that drives the drive wheels 6 of the vehicle from the transmission output shaft 34. The rotation is transmitted through the via.

  The transmission 8 is connected to a transmission control device 28, and includes a group of shifting actuators (the above-described clutch actuator, shift actuator, and select actuator) for operating switching of a gear stage controlled by the transmission control device 28. Is provided. In this case, the clutch actuator may be omitted if the function of the clutch actuator is performed by the power transmission mechanism, or if the torque converter operation by the rotating electrical machine 10 or the lock-up clutch 68 has a transmission function. The transmission control device 28 has shift line data set for each shift stage. When the engine speed (or the rotational speed of the output shaft of the rotating electrical machine) reaches, for example, the speed indicated by the shift line, the transmission control device 28 operates the clutch actuator to disconnect the clutch device, and the shift actuator and select The actuator is appropriately driven to switch the gear position of the transmission 8.

  The transmission 8 is provided with an input shaft rotation sensor 38 that detects the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft 32, and the transmission speed input that is detected by the engine rotation sensor 30 and the input shaft rotation sensor 38. The rotational speed of the shaft 32 is compared.

  The rotating electrical machine 10 is a so-called double rotor type, and includes a stator 42 fixed to a housing (not shown), an input-side rotor 44 that is disposed on the radial inner side of the stator 42 and can rotate relative to the stator 42, and the stator 42. And the input side rotor 44, the stator 42 and the output side rotor 46 that can rotate relative to the input side rotor 44. The input side rotor 44 is mechanically connected to an input shaft (input side rotor input shaft) 48 of the rotating electrical machine 10, and the input side rotor input shaft 48 is mechanically connected to the output shaft 5 of the engine 4, thereby The rotation from the engine 4 is transmitted to the side rotor 44.

  The output side rotor 46 is mechanically connected to an output shaft (output side rotor output shaft) 50 of the rotating electrical machine 10, and the output side rotor output shaft 50 is mechanically connected to the drive shaft 7 via the transmission 8. Thus, the rotation from the output-side rotor 46 is transmitted to the drive wheel 6 by being shifted by the transmission 8 as a power transmission path.

  Next, the rotating electrical machine 10 will be described in detail below. As shown in FIG. 2, the stator 42 includes a stator core 52 and a plurality of (for example, three-phase) stator windings 54 disposed on the stator core 52 along the circumferential direction thereof. A plurality of teeth (not shown) protruding radially inward are arranged on the stator core 52 of the stator 42 at intervals along the circumferential direction, and each stator winding 54 is wound around these teeth. Thus, a magnetic pole is formed. When a three-phase alternating current flows through the multi-phase stator winding 54, the stator winding 54 generates a rotating magnetic field that rotates in the circumferential direction of the stator 42.

  The input-side rotor 44 includes a rotor core 56 and, for example, a three-phase rotor winding 58 disposed on the rotor core 56 along the circumferential direction thereof. On the rotor core 56 of the input side rotor 44, a plurality of teeth (not shown) projecting radially outward are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the input side rotor 44. A magnetic pole is formed by being wound around the teeth. For example, when a three-phase alternating current flows through the multi-phase rotor winding 58, the rotor winding 58 generates a rotating magnetic field that rotates in the circumferential direction of the input-side rotor 44.

  The output-side rotor 46 includes a rotor core 60, and a first permanent magnet 62 and a second permanent magnet 64 that generate a field magnetic flux disposed along the circumferential direction of the rotor core 60. The first permanent magnet 62 is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the rotor core 60 to face the stator 42, and the second permanent magnet 64 is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of the rotor core 60 to face the input-side rotor 44. ing. The teeth of the stator 42 and the first permanent magnet 62 of the output-side rotor 46 are disposed opposite to each other in the radial direction perpendicular to the rotation axis CL of the output-side rotor 46 (which coincides with the rotation axis CL of the input-side rotor). The teeth of the side rotor 44 and the second permanent magnets 64 of the output side rotor 46 are arranged to face each other in the radial direction. The first and second permanent magnets 62 and 64 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the output side rotor 46, and the first permanent magnet 62 is embedded in the rotor core 60 in a V shape.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the input side rotor 44 has a lockup output shaft 66 having the same rotational axis as the input side rotor input shaft 48 on the transmission 8 side, and the lockup output shaft 66 is shifted with the rotating electrical machine 10. It is connected to one joining plate of a lockup clutch 68 that is intermittently connected to the device 8. The other joint plate of the lockup clutch 68 is connected to the transmission input shaft 32. The lockup clutch 68 is connected to transmit the rotation of the engine 4 directly to the transmission 8. By disconnecting the lock-up clutch 68, the rotation of the engine 4 is output via the electromagnetically coupled input-side rotor 44 and output-side rotor 46, so that the input-side rotor 44 and the output-side rotor 46 It is possible to function as an electromagnetic coupling that allows a difference in rotational speed between the two.

Next, the battery 13, the inverter 22, the starter inverter 24, and the like that supply electric power to the rotating electrical machine 10 to control the operation will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the battery 13 is provided as a DC power source that can be charged and discharged, and stores electrical energy as a secondary battery. The electric power of the battery 13 is supplied to the inverter 22 or the starter inverter 24. The inverter 22 includes a switching element (not shown), and converts DC power from the battery 13 into alternating current (for example, three-phase alternating current) by the switching operation of the switching element, and converts each phase of the stator winding 54 of the stator 42. Supply. At this time, a detection signal indicating the accelerator opening indicating the depression amount of the accelerator pedal (not shown) of the vehicle is sent from the accelerator opening sensor 74 to the system control device 18, and the detection signal indicating the vehicle speed is controlled by the vehicle speed sensor 76. Sent to the device 18. Further, a detection signal representing the engine torque is output to the system controller 18 by an engine torque sensor (not shown). The system control device 18 calculates the difference between the required torque calculated from the accelerator opening and the engine torque as the required motor torque, and uses the power of the battery 13 controlled by the inverter 22 according to the calculated motor torque as the stator winding. Supply to each phase of line 54.

  On / off of the brake switch is detected by a brake switch sensor 78 provided on the brake pedal (not shown), and the detected on / off of the brake switch is sent to the system control device 18.

  A slip ring 80 is mechanically coupled to the input side rotor input shaft 48, and the slip ring 80 is electrically connected to each phase of the rotor winding 58 and the brush 82. The slip ring 80 rotates together with the input-side rotor 44 while sliding with respect to the brush 82 whose rotation is fixed.

The starter inverter 24 converts direct current power from the battery 13 into alternating current (for example, three-phase alternating current) and supplies it to each phase of the rotor winding 58 via the brush 82 and the slip ring 80. When starting the engine 4, cranking of the engine 4 can be performed using electric power supplied from the battery 13 to the rotor winding 58 via the slip ring 80.
At that time, a rotating magnetic field is formed in the input side rotor 44, and torque is applied to the input side rotor 44 connected to the engine 4 by an electromagnetic action of this rotating magnetic field and the field flux of the second permanent magnet 64 of the output side rotor 46. However, the output-side rotor 46 also receives the reaction force. Therefore, when starting the engine 4 during EV traveling, the switching operation of the inverter 22 is controlled so that power is supplied from the battery 13 to the stator winding 54 and the torque that cancels the reaction torque is applied to the output rotor 46. As a result, the output-side rotor 46 is rotationally driven using the power supplied to the stator winding 54. The inverter 22 and the starter inverter 24 are communicably connected to the power transmission mechanism control device 20, and the power transmission mechanism control device 20 is communicably connected to the system control device 18.

Next, the switching mechanism will be described below.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a dog clutch device 12 as a switching mechanism is provided at the end of the output side rotor output shaft 50 on the drive wheel 6 side. The dog clutch device 12 includes a clutch hub 86 that is spline-fitted to the outer periphery of the output-side rotor output shaft 50, and a first helical gear 14 that is supported on the output-side rotor output shaft 50 so as to be relatively rotatable and that constitutes a power transmission mechanism. An out-side clutch ring 88, an in-side clutch ring 90 that faces the out-side clutch ring 88 across the clutch hub 86 and is fixed to the transmission input shaft 32 so as not to rotate relative to the transmission hub 32; And a sleeve 92 that is externally fitted so as to be relatively movable in the rotational axis direction of the side rotor output shaft 50 and that meshes with any one of the in-side clutch ring 90 and the out-side clutch ring 88 in a detachable manner. The output side rotor output shaft 50 is formed of a hollow shaft, and is rotatably supported by a bearing (not shown) provided in a housing (not shown). A transmission input shaft 32 having the same rotation axis CL is passed through the output-side rotor output shaft 50, and is rotatably supported by a bearing (not shown) provided in the housing and is also supported with respect to the output-side rotor output shaft 50. It is provided so as to be relatively rotatable through a bearing (not shown) and not relatively movable in the direction of the rotation axis CL.

  The first helical gear 14 provided integrally with the out-side clutch ring 88 meshes with the second helical gear 15 provided on the transmission output shaft 34. The second helical gear 15 has a larger diameter than the first helical gear 14, and the rotation of the first helical gear 14 is decelerated when it is transmitted to the second helical gear 15. The first helical gear 14 and the second helical gear 15 correspond to a power transmission mechanism, and the first helical gear 14 corresponds to a power transmission mechanism input shaft. The sleeve 92 is formed in a substantially annular shape, and an outer peripheral groove 96 is formed on the outer periphery of the sleeve 92 in a circumferential direction in which a fork 94 of an axial movement device (not shown) is slidably engaged. The axial movement device reciprocates the sleeve 92 along the direction of the rotation axis CL, and when the sleeve 92 is pressed against the out side clutch ring 88 or the in side clutch ring 90, the out side clutch ring 88 or When a reaction force is applied from the in-side clutch ring 90, the sleeve 92 is configured to be allowed to move by the reaction force.

  Inner teeth (not shown) are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve 92, and mesh with the outer teeth (not shown) of the clutch hub 86 so as not to be relatively rotatable and to be relatively movable in the direction of the rotation axis CL. A chamfered surface (not shown) is formed on the end surfaces of the inner teeth of the sleeve 92 facing the in-side clutch ring 90 and the out-side clutch ring 88. An in-side dog clutch portion 102 is formed on the opposing surface of the sleeve 92 of the in-side clutch ring 90, and the in-side dog clutch portion 102 meshes with the internal teeth of the sleeve 92 so as to be disengageable from one direction. An out-side dog clutch portion 104 is formed on a surface of the out-side clutch ring 88 facing the sleeve 92, and the out-side dog clutch portion 104 meshes with the internal teeth of the sleeve 92 so as to be disengageable from the other direction.

  Since the clutch hub 86 and the sleeve 92 rotate together with the output-side rotor output shaft 50, the rotation of the output-side rotor 46 causes the inner teeth of the sleeve 92 to be in the in-position (corresponding to the in-position of the combined motor connection position). This is transmitted to the transmission input shaft 32 when meshing with the side dog clutch portion 102. When the inner teeth of the sleeve 92 mesh with the in-side dog clutch portion 102, a clutch device (not shown) provided in the transmission 8 connects the transmission input shaft 32 and the power transmission gear in the transmission 8 and the like. The connection is cut off, and the transmission input shaft 32 is allowed to idle.

  When the inner teeth of the sleeve 92 mesh with the out-side dog clutch 104 that is in the out-position (corresponding to the out-position of the combined motor connection position), the rotation of the output-side rotor 46 is changed via the first helical gear 14 and the second helical gear 15. It is transmitted to the device output shaft 34 (without passing through the transmission mechanism of the transmission 8). The transmission output shaft 34 is integrally provided with a third helical gear 106 having a smaller diameter than the second helical gear 15, and the third helical gear 106 meshes with a fourth helical gear 108 provided integrally with an input shaft that inputs to the differential device 36. Has been. The fourth helical gear 108 has a larger diameter than the third helical gear 106 and is decelerated when the rotation of the third helical gear 106 is transmitted to the fourth helical gear 108. The output shaft of the differential device 36 is connected to each drive wheel 6 via the drive shaft 7.

  The connection state between the in position where the output of the output side rotor 46 is input to the transmission input shaft 32 and the out position where it is transmitted to the drive wheel 6 without passing through the transmission mechanism of the transmission 8 is determined by the combined motor connection The detection signal is detected by the position sensor 110, and the detection signal is output to the system controller 18. The operation of the axial movement device (not shown) that moves the sleeve 92 to the in position and the out position is controlled by the power transmission mechanism control device 20 that receives a command from the system control device 18.

  A brake switch 112 for detecting depression of the brake pedal is provided in the vicinity of the brake pedal (not shown), and an on / off signal of the brake switch 112 is sent to the system control device 18.

Next, the operation of the power transmission device 2 will be described below based on the time charts shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B and the flowchart of FIG.
Based on depression of an accelerator pedal (not shown), the system control device 18 sends a “start request signal” to the power transmission mechanism control device 20. When the “start request signal” is received, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 converts the direct current of the battery 13 into a three-phase alternating current by controlling the inverter 22 as shown in FIG. A three-phase alternating current is supplied to each phase of the stator winding 54 of the stator 42. A rotating magnetic field is created by the three-phase alternating current supplied to each phase of the stator winding 54, and this rotating magnetic field acts on the first permanent magnet 62 of the output side rotor 46, so that the rotational torque ( MG2 torque in FIG. 4A) is generated, and the output-side rotor 46 is rotated (T1 / EV start (A) in FIG. 4A (FIG. 6)). At this time, the combined motor connection position is positioned at the out position, and the rotation of the output side rotor 46 is transmitted to the drive wheels 6 without being lost by the friction torque of the transmission 8. And the rotation speed (MG2 rotation speed) of the output side rotor 46 increases, and a vehicle speed increases gradually. The transmission gear of the transmission 8 is connected to the first gear, and the lockup clutch 68 is in a disconnected state.

  The system control device 18 performs vehicle state acquisition based on each sensor as a vehicle state detection device in order to execute control of the combined motor connection position. Examples of the sensor include an engine rotation sensor 30, an input shaft rotation sensor 38, an accelerator opening sensor 74, a vehicle speed sensor 76, a brake switch sensor 78, and a composite motor connection position sensor 110. These sensors communicate with the system control device 18. Connected as possible.

  Next, when the rotational speed of the output-side rotor 46 increases to a predetermined rotational speed, the system control device 18 sends an “engine start request signal” to the power transmission mechanism control device 20. When the “engine start request signal” is received, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 controls the starter inverter 24 to convert the direct current of the battery 13 into a three-phase alternating current as shown in FIG. It is supplied to each phase of the rotor winding 58 of the input side rotor 44 via the ring 80. A rotating magnetic field is created by the three-phase alternating current supplied to each phase of the rotor winding 58, and this rotating magnetic field acts on the second permanent magnet 64 of the output side rotor 46 to rotate the input side rotor 44 as a reaction. Torque (MG1 torque in FIG. 4A) is generated, and cranking of engine 4 is performed (T2 in FIG. 4A, FIG. 5). At that time, as described above, the output-side rotor 46 also receives the reaction force. Therefore, when starting the engine 4 during EV traveling, power is supplied from the battery 13 to the stator winding 54, and the output-side rotor 46. By controlling the switching operation of the inverter 22 so as to apply the MG2 torque that cancels the reaction torque, the output side rotor 46 is rotationally driven using the power supplied to the stator winding 54.

Next, the start of the engine 4 stops the supply of electric power to the input side rotor 44 by the starter inverter 24. Although the power supply by the inverter 22 is continued to the output side rotor 46, the motor torque borne by the output side rotor 46 gradually decreases as the engine torque increases (T3 to T4 in FIG. 4A). In this case, the output side rotor 46 and the input side rotor 44 cause a coupling torque to act on each other by differential rotation (relative rotational speed), for example, as shown in FIG.
When the rotational speeds of the output side rotor output shaft 50 of the output side rotor 46 and the transmission device input shaft 32 substantially coincide with each other (the torque converter operation (C)), the system control device 18 engages the lockup clutch 68. (T4 in FIG. 4A). As a result, the rotation of the engine 4 can be directly transmitted to the drive wheels 6 without passing through the rotating electrical machine 10, thereby improving the efficiency of power transmission.

(Speed change control 1)
The operation of the shift control device (power transmission mechanism control device 20) when shifting from the first speed to the second speed when the combined motor connection position is in the out position will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4A and 7. .
First, the system controller 18 determines from the map showing the relationship between the throttle valve opening, the vehicle speed, and the shift line shown in FIG. 13 (S101 in FIG. 7) that the shift line for switching from the first speed to the second speed has been exceeded. In addition, the system control device 18 sends a “shift start signal” to the power transmission mechanism control device 20 as a shift operation signal. Subsequently, the system control device 18 sends the shift operation signal to the power transmission mechanism control device 20 as a “shifting signal”. Then, the system control device 18 causes the power transmission mechanism control device 20 to disconnect the lockup clutch 68 (T5 in FIG. 4A). As a result, transmission of rotational torque from the engine 4 to the transmission input shaft 32 is interrupted. Then, the system control device 18 reduces the throttle opening by the engine control device 26.

Next, the system control device 18 confirms that the shift operation signal is a “shifting signal”, and the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft 32 and the engine rotation speed are determined by the engine rotation sensor 30 and the input shaft rotation sensor. When it is confirmed that they do not match based on the detected value 38 (S101 in FIG. 7), a “shift corresponding signal” is sent to the power transmission mechanism control device 20 as a shift operation signal (T5 to T6 in FIG. 4A, FIG. 7). S102).
Subsequently, the system control device 18 determines whether or not the combined motor connection position of the dog clutch device 12 is in the in position (see FIG. 9) (connected to the in position) (T5 to T6 in FIG. 4A). S103 in FIG.
In this case, since the combined motor connection position sensor 110 detects that the combined motor connection position is already in the out position (connected to the out position), the system controller 18 sends out a “shift corresponding signal”. However, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 is not allowed to switch the combined motor connection position to the out position.
Thus, in “shift control 1”, the combined motor connection position is not switched to the out position, but “shift assist” is performed as follows.

The power transmission mechanism control device 20 controls the switching operation of the inverter 22 to rotationally drive the output-side rotor 46 using the power supplied to the stator winding 54, thereby generating MG2 torque and performing shift assist ( T5 to T6 in FIG. 4A). This prevents a feeling of deceleration (torque loss) due to the torque from the engine 4 being cut off (shift assist (D)). At this time, the system control device 18 reduces the engine speed by reducing the throttle opening by the engine control device 26. The transmission input shaft 32 is in a free state by disengaging a clutch (not shown) in the transmission 8 and the rotational speed is reduced.
Subsequently, the engine speed is gradually increased by starting to increase the throttle opening, and the lockup clutch 68 is connected (T6 in FIG. 4A). In the process before the lockup clutch 68 is connected, when the engine speed and the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft 32 coincide with each other, the system control device 18 uses the transmission control device 28 to change the transmission gear from the first gear. Switch to second gear (T5 to T6 in FIG. 4A).

  At that time, the system controller 18 has a rotational difference between the input side rotor 44 and the output side rotor 46, but the coupling torque acts between the input side rotor 44 and the output side rotor 46. In order to prevent this, the starter inverter 24 is controlled so that no induced current flows through the rotor winding 58 of the input side rotor 44 (T5 to T6 in FIG. 4A).

  Note that the process proceeds to step 104 when at least one of shifting and in-position connection is not performed as in the present embodiment.

(Shift control 2)
Next, the operation of the shift control device (power transmission mechanism control device 20) when shifting from the second speed to the third speed when the combined motor connection position is in the in position will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4B and 7. Explained.
First, since the combined motor connection position is in the in-position, the output-side rotor 46 and the input-side rotor 44 are integrally rotated at the same rotational speed and the assist-drive is being executed by the output-side rotor 46. is there. The lockup clutch 68 is connected, and the engine 4 and the transmission input shaft 32 are rotated at the same rotational speed (FIG. 4B, T21 to T22).

  When the system control device 18 determines from the map showing the relationship between the throttle valve opening, the vehicle speed, and the shift line shown in FIG. 13 that the shift line for switching from the second speed to the third speed has been exceeded, the power transmission mechanism control apparatus 20, a “shift start signal” is sent as a shift operation signal. Then, the system control device 18 sends a “shifting signal” indicating that shifting is in progress to the power transmission mechanism control device 20 as a shifting operation signal. Then, the system control device 18 causes the power transmission mechanism control device 20 to disconnect the lockup clutch 68 (T22 in FIG. 4B).

  As a result, transmission of rotational torque from the engine 4 to the transmission input shaft 32 is interrupted. The system controller 18 reduces the engine speed by reducing the throttle opening to a small value by the engine controller 26. The transmission input shaft 32 rotates at the same rotational speed as the output side rotor 46 because the combined motor connection position is in the in position (T22 to T23 in FIG. 4B).

Next, the system control device 18 confirms that the shift operation signal is a “shifting signal”, and the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft 32 and the engine rotation speed are determined by the engine rotation sensor 30 and the input shaft rotation sensor. Based on the detected value of 38, it is confirmed that they do not match. If the system control device 18 is a “shifting signal” and the rotational speed of the transmission input shaft 32 and the engine rotational speed do not match, the system control device 18 transmits the power using the “shift corresponding signal” as a shift operation signal. It is sent to the mechanism control device 20 (T22 to T23 in FIG. 4B, S102 in FIG. 7).
Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the combined motor connection position of the dog clutch device 12 is in the in position (see FIG. 9) (T22 to T23 in FIG. 4B, S103 in FIG. 7). When the combined motor connection position sensor 110 detects that the combined motor connection position is in the in position, the system control device 18 sends an “in position detection signal” to the power transmission mechanism control device 20.
The power transmission mechanism control device 20 switches the combined motor connection position to the out position (see FIG. 10) when receiving the “shift corresponding signal” and the “in position detection signal” (T23 in FIG. 4B, to the out position). Connection transition control / S108 in FIG.

  The combined motor connection position is switched to the out position through the neutral position (T23 to T24 in FIG. 4B). Since the output side rotor 46 is connected to an out position where it is connected to a power transmission mechanism (first helical gear 14, second helical gear 15, etc.) having a lower gear ratio than the second gear connected so far, the rotational speed is low. Will be increased. The transmission input shaft 32 is in a free state by disengaging a clutch (not shown) in the transmission 8 and the rotational speed is reduced. The engine speed is maintained in a reduced state.

The power transmission mechanism control device 20 controls the switching operation of the inverter 22 to rotationally drive the output-side rotor 46 using the power supplied to the stator winding 54, thereby generating MG2 torque and performing shift assist ( T24 to T26 in FIG. 4B). This prevents a feeling of deceleration (torque loss) due to the torque from the engine 4 being cut off.
Then, at T25, the system control device 18 causes the engine control device 26 to start increasing the throttle opening to increase the engine speed.
Subsequently, the system control device 18 connects the lockup clutch 68 by the power transmission mechanism control device 20 while gradually increasing the throttle opening (T26 in FIG. 4B). Before the lockup clutch 68 is connected, the engine speed and the speed of the transmission input shaft 32 coincide with each other, and the system control unit 18 uses the transmission control unit 28 to change the transmission gear from the second gear to the third gear. (T25 to T26 in FIG. 4B).
In step 108, when the shift control to the out position is completed for the combined motor connection position, the process proceeds to step 110, where the vehicle state is acquired by returning to the beginning (S101).

(Motor over-rotation prevention control)
Next, in the case where the combined motor connection position is at the out position, the motor over-rotation prevention control device (power transmission mechanism control device 20) in the case where the rotation speed of the output side rotor 46 becomes a rotation speed at which the motor cannot operate. The operation will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4A and 7.
First, the system control device 18 determines whether or not the rotational speed of the output-side rotor 46 is a rotational speed at which the motor cannot operate, based on each sensor (T6 to T7 in FIG. 4A and S104 in FIG. 7). In T6 to T7 of FIG. 4A, since the combined motor connection position is the out position, the rotation from the drive wheel 6 is transmitted via the first to fourth helical gears 14, 15, 106, and 108, so that the output The side rotor 46 rotates at a high speed.
For example, the system control device 18 obtains the vehicle speed by the vehicle speed sensor 76 and calculates the rotation speed of the output side rotor 46 from the connection gear ratio in the transmission mechanism of the transmission 8 and the differential ratio in the differential device 36 based on the vehicle speed. Then, the calculated “rotation speed of the output side rotor” value and the “required motor torque” value calculated from the accelerator opening, the engine torque, and the like by the system control device 18 are, for example, the map of FIG. To determine whether or not the rotation speed is incapable of motor operation.

  The system controller 18 determines whether or not the composite motor connection position of the dog clutch device 12 is in the out position (see FIG. 10) (connected to the out position) by the composite motor connection position sensor 110 (see FIG. 7). S105).

  When the system controller 18 determines that the rotational speed of the output-side rotor 46 has increased to a rotational speed at which the motor cannot operate and is in the out position, the system controller 18 And “out position detection signal” are sent to the power transmission mechanism control device 20.

  When receiving the “motor over-rotation prevention signal” and the “out position detection signal”, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 switches the combined motor connection position to the in position (see FIG. 9) (T7 to T8 in FIG. 4A, Control of transition to connection to in position ・ S109 in FIG.

  At this time, in the dog clutch device 12, the rotational speed of the in-side clutch ring 90 that rotates together with the transmission input shaft 32 is greater than the rotational speed of the out-side clutch ring 88 that rotates together with the output-side rotor output shaft 50. It is rotating slowly because it is connected to the 2nd speed. Therefore, the system control device 18 uses the power transmission mechanism control device 20 to once position the composite motor connection position at the neutral position (see FIG. 8) and reduce the rotational speed of the output-side rotor 46, so that the switching operation of the starter inverter 24 is performed. Is applied to the input side rotor 44, and the switching operation of the inverter 22 is controlled to apply the braking torque to the output side rotor 46. By reducing the rotational speed of the output-side rotor 46, the sleeve 92 is adjusted to the rotational speed of the in-side clutch ring 90 (T7 to T8 in FIG. 4A, regenerative braking (E)).

Next, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 switches the combined motor connection position from the neutral position (see FIG. 8) to the in position (see FIG. 9), so that the output-side rotor 46 of the output side rotor 46 can be connected via the speed change mechanism of the transmission 8. The rotation can be output to the drive wheel 6 via the high-speed second gear (T8 in FIG. 4A and S109 in FIG. 7). Thereby, the rotation speed of the output side rotor 46 can be reduced to a rotation speed at which the motor can operate.
When the transition control to the in position (S109) is completed for the combined motor connection position, the process proceeds to step 110 and returns to the beginning to acquire the vehicle state (S101).
In Step 105, if at least one of the motor operation impossible rotation speed and the out position connection is not present, the routine proceeds to Step 106 (end of motor over-rotation prevention control).

Next, when the system control device 18 determines that there is an “acceleration request” by the accelerator opening sensor 74 or the like, an “acceleration request signal” is sent to the power transmission mechanism control device 20.
When the “acceleration request signal” is received, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 disconnects the lock-up clutch 68 and prevents the engine speed from increasing as the rotational speed of the output side rotor 46 increases.

The power transmission mechanism control device 20 controls the switching operation of the inverter 22 to increase the rotational speed of the output side rotor 46 (T9 to T10 in FIG. 4A, motor assist acceleration (F)). In this case, the dog clutch device 12 is switched to the in position by the “motor over-rotation prevention control” performed in T7 to T8, and the rotational speed of the output-side rotor is adjusted using the high gear ratio of the transmission 8. It is in a state where it can be reduced to a rotational speed at which the motor can operate. Thereby, traveling assistance by the rotating electrical machine 10 during high-speed traveling can be performed.
At this time, since the output side rotor 46 receives the assist reaction force accompanying the speed increase from the input side rotor 44, the switching operation of the inverter 22 is controlled so as to apply a torque that cancels the reaction force torque. Similarly, a torque for canceling the reaction torque is generated in the input side rotor 44.

  Next, when the system control device 18 determines that the vehicle speed has reached the required speed due to acceleration, the system control device 18 engages the lockup clutch 68 (T10 in FIG. 4).

(Regenerative high efficiency control)
Next, the operation of the regeneration efficiency improvement control device (power transmission mechanism control device 20) during deceleration when the combined motor connection position is in the in position will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4A and 7.

  First, the system control device 18 determines the presence / absence of deceleration intention from each sensor (S106 in FIG. 7). For example, if the accelerator opening degree is 0% or less by the accelerator opening sensor 74 or the brake switch is turned on by the brake switch sensor 78, it is determined that there is an intention to decelerate. Subsequently, the system control device 18 determines whether or not the composite motor connection position of the dog clutch device 12 is in the in position by the composite motor connection position sensor 110 (S107 in FIG. 7).

  When the system control device 18 determines that there is an intention to decelerate and determines that the combined motor connection position is in the in position, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 transmits the “deceleration control signal” and the “in position detection signal”. To send.

  When receiving the “deceleration control signal” and the “in-position detection signal” from the system control device 18, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 charges the battery 13 with the rotational torque of the drive wheels 6 via the output-side rotor 46. A preparatory operation for performing regenerative deceleration is performed (T11 in FIG. 4), and in the present embodiment, since it is in the in position, switching from the in position to the out position is performed (S108 in FIG. 7). At this time, the out-side clutch ring 88 at the out-position rotates without passing through the transmission 8, and thus rotates at a higher speed than the in-side clutch ring 90 at the in-position that rotates together with the transmission input shaft 32. Therefore, the composite motor connection position is switched from the in position (see FIG. 9) to the neutral position (see FIG. 8), and the rotation of the out side clutch ring 88 is increased by increasing the rotational speed of the sleeve 92 (output side rotor output shaft 50). Fit to the number. In order to increase the rotational speed of the output side rotor 46, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 controls the switching operation of the inverter 22 to apply rotational torque to the output side rotor 46. In addition, the torque which produces the regeneration in the direction decelerated from the differential rotation of the output side rotor 46 rotated at a faster rotational speed is generated in the input side rotor 44 (T11 to T12 in FIG. 4A).

  Next, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 switches the combined motor connection position from the neutral position to the out position (T12 / S108 in FIG. 4), and then disconnects the lockup clutch 68.

  When the vehicle decelerates, the rotational torque of the drive wheel 6 that rotates as the vehicle travels can be acquired as regenerative electric power. However, by changing the combined motor connection position of the dog clutch device 12 to the out position, the transmission 8 By rotating the output-side rotor 46 without passing through the speed change mechanism, regenerative power can be obtained without causing a loss of regenerative power due to the friction torque of the transmission 8. Further, by disconnecting the lockup clutch 68, the battery 13 can be charged without causing a loss of regenerative power due to the inertia of the engine 4 (regenerative deceleration (H)). And the more efficient regenerative electric power is acquired by stopping the engine 4 (T13 of FIG. 4A).

And the system control apparatus 18 will transfer to step 110, if the transfer control to an out position is complete | finished, returns to the beginning, and acquires vehicle state (S101).
In step 107, if there is not at least one of the intention to decelerate and the in-position connection, the process proceeds to step 110, and the process returns to the beginning to acquire the vehicle state (S101).

  As is clear from the above description, the power transmission device 2 according to the present embodiment outputs the rotation from the engine 4 or the rotating electrical machine 10 via the transmission device 8 when outputting the rotation to the drive shaft side. The in position (the position where the sleeve 92 of the dog clutch device 12 meshes with the in-side clutch ring 90) and the rotation from the engine 4 or the rotating electrical machine 10 are output by the first and second helical gears without passing through the transmission 8. The dog clutch device 12 has an out position (a position where the sleeve 92 of the dog clutch device 12 meshes with the out-side clutch ring 88).

  When the dog clutch device 12 is in the in position and the system control device 18 sends a deceleration control signal based on detection signals from the accelerator opening sensor 74 and the brake switch sensor 78, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 The dog clutch device 12 is switched to the out position where the rotation of the output side rotor 46 is coupled to the first helical gear 14.

  Thus, when regenerative power is obtained by rotation from the drive wheel 6 side during deceleration, the regenerative power can be obtained with high efficiency without causing power loss due to friction torque by the transmission mechanism of the transmission 8.

  Further, the value of the rotational speed of the output side rotor 46 calculated based on the vehicle speed of the vehicle speed sensor 76 and the value of the required motor torque are fitted to the map when the dog clutch device 12 is in the out position, When the system control device 18 sends a motor over-rotation prevention signal based on the determination that the rotation speed of the output-side rotor 46 is a rotation speed at which the motor cannot operate, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 The dog clutch device 12 is switched to the in position. When the output-side rotor 46 of the rotating electrical machine 10 rotates at a high speed, the rotation of the output-side rotor 46 is suppressed due to the generation of the counter electromotive force, resulting in a rotational speed at which the motor operation is impossible. By switching to the in position, the rotation speed of the output-side rotor 46 input to the transmission 8 can be kept low by outputting via the gear with a high transmission ratio of the transmission mechanism of the transmission 8. As a result, for example, acceleration assistance by the rotating electrical machine 10 is possible during high-speed traveling.

  Further, the dog clutch device 12 is in the in position, and a shifting signal indicating that the system control device 18 is shifting is transmitted based on the shift operation signal and the detection values of the engine rotation sensor 30 and the input shaft rotation sensor 38. In this case, the power transmission mechanism control device 20 switches the dog clutch device 12 to the out position. Thereby, torque transmission at the time of shifting can be performed to the driving wheel 6 from the output side rotor 46 of the rotating electrical machine 10 without passing through the transmission 8 (shift assist). As a result, it is possible to prevent a “torque loss” based on the fact that the torque from the engine is cut off at the time of shifting, and to ensure a running state that does not cause the passenger to feel uncomfortable.

  In this way, by switching the dog clutch device 12 between the in position and the out position according to the running state of the vehicle, it is possible to obtain efficient regenerative power, make riding comfort comfortable, and motor assist at high speeds. To.

  In the present embodiment, the dog clutch device 12 is used as the switching mechanism. However, the switching mechanism is not limited to this. For example, an electromagnetic clutch or various wet / dry clutches may be used.

  Also, when positioned at the out position, the power transmission mechanism transmits to the transmission output shaft without passing through the transmission mechanism of the transmission, and from the transmission output shaft to the drive wheels via the differential device, etc. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, rotation may be transmitted from the power transmission mechanism to the drive wheels via a rotation shaft other than the transmission output shaft.

  In addition, although the transmission is AMT, it is not limited to this. For example, an automatic transmission combining a torque converter and a planetary gear mechanism may be used.

  Also, in the double rotor type rotating electrical machine, a first stator winding is disposed on the inner circumference of the stator, the rotor winding is arranged on the outer circumference of the input side rotor, and the stator winding is arranged on the outer circumference of the output side rotor. While the permanent magnet is disposed and the second permanent magnet facing the rotor winding is disposed on the inner periphery of the output-side rotor, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first permanent magnet is disposed on the inner periphery of the stator. The second permanent magnet is disposed on the outer periphery of the input-side rotor, the first rotor winding facing the first permanent magnet is disposed on the outer periphery of the output-side rotor, and the second rotor magnet is disposed on the inner periphery of the output-side rotor. A second rotor winding facing the permanent magnet may be arranged. In this case, a rotational torque is generated between the stator and the output-side rotor by supplying a three-phase alternating current that generates a rotating magnetic field in the first rotor winding, and a rotational difference between the input-side rotor and the output-side rotor is generated. Thus, a rotating magnetic field is generated by generating an induced electromotive force in the second winding by the second permanent magnet, and a rotating torque is generated between the input side rotor and the output side rotor.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within a range not departing from the gist.
