Definitions
- the invention relates to a drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle that is preferably used in a hybrid vehicle provided with an engine and an electric motor, which are two types of power sources having different characteristics, and which runs by using the driving power from these two power sources in a combination that is optimal for the conditions.
- One proposal includes the use of a first motor generator, a power splitting mechanism portion, and a second motor generator.
- the first motor generator serves mainly as a generator.
- the power splitting mechanism portion includes a planetary gear set and divides the power generated by the engine into power for the first motor generator and power for the driven wheels.
- the second motor generator serves mainly as a motor and generates power to assist in driving the driven wheels. This power is different from the power that is from the engine.
- a drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle is provided with a first motor generator which functions as one of a motor and a generator; a power splitting mechanism portion that divides power generated by an engine into power for the first motor generator and power for a driven wheel; a second motor generator which is arranged on a side of the first motor generator opposite the engine, which functions as one of a motor and a generator, which generates power to drive the driving wheel, this power being different from the power that is from the engine, and which has an outside diameter that is smaller than an outside diameter of the first motor generator; and a speed reducing mechanism portion which is arranged on a side of the second motor generator opposite the engine, which has an outer diameter that is smaller than an outside diameter of the second motor generator, and which reduces a rotation speed and increases a torque of the second motor generator.
- the power generated by the engine is divided into two by the power splitting mechanism portion. Part of the power is transmitted mechanically to the driven wheel so as to rotate it and the rest of the power is transmitted to the first motor generator.
- the first motor generator functions as a generator and generates electricity which is supplied to the second motor generator.
- the second motor generator functions as a motor. The power generated by this second motor generator is added to the power that was split by the power splitting mechanism portion and transmitted to the wheels, thereby assisting the output of the engine in driving the driven wheel.
- the drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle at least both of the motor generators and the speed reducing mechanism portion, from among the component parts, are arranged in the order of the first motor generator, the second motor generator, and the speed reducing mechanism portion from the side near the engine to the side away from the engine.
- the outside diameter of the speed reducing mechanism portion is also smaller than the outside diameter of the second motor generator. Therefore, by having the outside diameter of the power splitting mechanism portion be smaller than the outside diameter of the first motor generator, the drive apparatus takes on a conical shape in which the outside diameter thereof becomes increasingly small away from the engine. In this way, according to the invention described above, it is possible to incorporate the speed reducing mechanism portion into the drive apparatus while making the entire apparatus compact.
- the mountability in the hybrid vehicle of this drive apparatus that has been made compact in this way is excellent.
- the shape of the entire drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle is substantially the same as the shape of a typical automatic transmission with a torque converter and a gear change mechanism. Therefore, by designing the drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle so that it is substantially the same size as the automatic transmission, the drive apparatus is able to be housed in a floor runnel that already exists in vehicles for housing the automatic transmission. Therefore, it is possible to arrange the drive apparatus, instead of the automatic transmission, in this floor tunnel.
- a drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle has an outside shape that becomes increasingly narrow away from the engine, and is further provided with a core case in which to mount both of the motor generators and the power splitting mechanism portion, a case formed separate from the core case, in which to mount the speed reducing mechanism portion, and a joining portion with which to join the case to the core case.
- the motor generators and the power splitting mechanism portion and the like can be used as they are as common parts.
- the case in which the speed reducing mechanism portion is mounted is independent from the core case in which both of the motor generators and the power splitting mechanism portion are mounted, and these cases can be joined to, and separated from, one another.
- a drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle is further provided with a first connecting portion to electrically connect a first cable to the first motor generator, and a second connecting portion to electrically connect a second cable to the second motor generator.
- the power splitting mechanism portion is arranged between the first motor generator and the second motor generator and includes a planetary gear set which has a ring gear that has a smaller outside diameter than the outside diameters of the first motor generator and the second motor generator.
- the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are provided in a space that exists toward the outside in the radial direction of the ring gear between the first motor generator and the second motor generator.
- the power splitting mechanism portion is constructed with a planetary gear set arranged between the two motor generators.
- the outside diameter of the ring gear which determines the outer shape of the entire planetary gear set, is smaller than the outside diameters of both of the motor generators.
- a space is created toward the outside in the radial direction of the ring gear between the two motor generators.
- a first connecting portion to electrically connect a first cable to the first motor generator is provided in this space.
- a second connecting portion to electrically connect a second cable to the second motor generator is also provided in this space.
- a drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle is further provided with a drive case in which the first motor generator and the second motor generator are mounted, and which has an outside shape that becomes increasingly narrow away from the engine; a first outlet, which is provided in the drive case and which is formed curved away from the engine, and through which the first cable that is connected to the first motor generator is led out of the drive case; and a second outlet, which is provided in the drive case on a side of the first outlet opposite the engine and which is formed parallel to the first outlet, and through which the second cable that is connected to the second motor generator is led out of the drive case.
- the first cable that is connected to the first motor generator is led out of the drive case through the first outlet.
- the second cable that is connected to the second motor generator is led out of the drive case through the second outlet.
- the first outlet and the second outlet are both provided in the drive case which becomes increasingly narrow away from the engine.
- the second outlet is positioned on the side- of the first outlet opposite the engine, i.e., in a location having a smaller diameter than the first outlet in the drive case.
- both the first outlet and the second outlet are curved away from the engine and parallel to each other.
- a drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle is further provided with a drive case which has an outside shape that becomes increasingly narrow away from the engine and in which the first motor generator and the second motor generator are mounted; a first case which forms part of the drive case and which is provided with a first main portion fixed to the engine and a first housing portion formed within the first main portion, which houses the first motor generator; a second case which forms part of the drive case and which is joined to the first main portion; a first cover which is arranged on the engine side of the first generator within the first main portion and which covers the first motor generator; and a first fastening member that attaches a first flange formed on an outer edge portion of the first cover to the first housing portion.
- the drive case in which the motor generator is mounted has an outside shape that becomes increasingly narrow away from the engine.
- the first case that forms part of the drive case is fixed to the engine at the first main portion which is the outside portion (outer shell) of the first case.
- the motor generator is housed in the first housing portion formed within the first main portion.

- the rotation of the output shaft 49 is then transmitted to the driven wheels 13 through the propeller shaft 15 and the like. In this way, the driven wheels 13 are driven by only the power from the MG2.
- the first rotor 33 in the MG1 is idling.
- the engine 12 is operated and power therefrom is transmitted to the driven wheels 13 after being split into two paths by the power splitting mechanism portion 27.
- One of the paths transmits the power input to the input shaft 45 to the pinion gear 55 and the ring gear 53.
- the power transmitted along this path is transmitted to the output shaft 49 via the middle shaft 48.
- the other path transmits power to the generator to drive it so as to generate electricity. More specifically, this path transmits the power input to the input shaft 45 to the first rotor 33 of the MG1 via the pinion gear 55 and the sun gear 52.

- the following effects are obtained from the exemplary embodiment described in detail above.
- the MG1, the power splitting mechanism portion 27, the MG2, and the speed reducing mechanism portion 28 are arranged inline in that order from the side near the engine 12 to the side away from the engine 12. Furthermore, the outside diameter of the MG2 is made smaller than the outside diameter of the MG1, the outside diameter of the power splitting mechanism portion 27 is made smaller than the outside diameter of the MG1 and the MG2, and the outside diameter of the speed reducing mechanism portion 28 is made smaller than the outside diameter of the MG2. As a result, the outside diameter of the drive apparatus 14 becomes increasingly smaller away from the engine 12. Also, the drive apparatus 14 has a conical shape and is compact. In this way, according to this exemplary embodiment, the speed reducing mechanism portion 28 is able to be incorporated into the drive apparatus 14 while the apparatus on the whole is able to be made compact. Furthermore, the mountability in the hybrid vehicle 11 of this drive apparatus
- the foregoing shape is substantially the same as the shape of a typical automatic transmission with a fluid type torque converter and a gear change mechanism, which is mounted in a conventional vehicle having an FR type drive system. Therefore, by designing the drive apparatus 14 so it that is substantially the same size as the automatic transmission, the drive apparatus 14 is able to be housed in the floor tunnel 19 that already exists in vehicles for housing an automatic transmission. Therefore, it is possible to arrange the drive apparatus 14, instead of the automatic transmission, in this floor tunnel 19. Phrased differently, the automatic transmission, as well as the drive apparatus 14, are able to be housed in an identical floor 18 that includes the floor tunnel 19, so the same floor 18 can be used.
- the power splitting mechanism portion 27 includes a planetary gear set, and the ring gear 53, which determines the overall size of that gear set, has a smaller outside diameter than the MGl and the MG2, the space S 1 and the space S2 are created toward the outside in the radial direction of the ring gear 53 between the
- the space S 1 is used as a space in which to house the first connecting portion 65 for electrically connecting the first cable 63 to the stator coil 36 of the MGl.
- the space SI is also used as a space to house the second connecting portion 66 for electrically connecting the second cable 64 to the stator coil 44 of the MG2.
- the space S2 is used to house the oil pump 72, so space is used efficiently as well. Therefore, by using these spaces SI and S2, the connecting portions 65 and 66 and the oil pump 72 can be housed without losing the compactness of the drive apparatus 14.
- the first connecting terminal 68 which is connected to the stator coil 36 of the MGl is led out of the drive case 21 through the first outlet 67.
- the second connecting terminal 71 which is connected to the MG2 is also led out of the drive case
- first outlet 67 and the second outlet 69 are both provided in the drive case 21 which becomes increasingly narrow away from the engine 12.
- the second outlet 69 is positioned on the side of the first outlet 67 opposite the engine 12, i.e., in a location having a smaller outside diameter than the first outlet 67 in the drive case 21.
- both the first outlet 67 and the second outlet 69 are curved away from the engine 12 and parallel to each other.
- both the cables 63 and 64 can be led out of the drive case 21 together without interfering with one another and laid toward the inverter 61.

- a shaft other than the input shaft 45 and the output shaft 49 is provided parallel to these shafts, and a rotation fransrnitting part such as a gear or the like is provided on each shaft.
- the shaft in this case corresponds to a counter shaft used in a manual transmission.
- rotation from the input shaft 45 is able to be transmitted to the output shaft 49 via the shaft (i.e., counter shaft), the gears or the like.
- the shaft i.e., counter shaft
- the middle shaft 48 for transmitting rotation of the ring gear 53 to the output shaft 49 is integrally provided with the ring gear 53. Then this middle shaft 48 is inserted through the second rotor 41 of the MG2 and coupled to the ring gear 57 of the output shaft 49. This obviates the need for the aforementioned counter shaft. Because noise and vibration resulting from the meshing of gears is not generated, the noise and vibration characteristics are improved. (6) The torque after speed reduction by the speed reducing mechanism portion 28 is larger than before speed reduction. Therefore, the parts that transmit the increased torque must be very strong. According to this exemplary embodiment,- the output shaft 49 is larger in diameter than the input shaft 45 and the middle shaft 48 in order to meet this requirement.
- the speed reducing mechanism portion 28 is arranged on the engine 12 side of the MG2, the output shaft 49, which is large in diameter, would be inserted through the MG2, thus requiring that the diameter of the MG2 be larger, which would increase the overall size of the drive apparatus 14.
- the speed reducing mechanism portion 28 is arranged on the driven wheels 13 side of the MG2, as described above.
- the shaft i.e., the middle shaft 48
- the shaft that is inserted through the MG2 does not have to be of a large diameter, so an increase in size of the MG2 and the drive apparatus 14 is able to be avoided.

- the second support wall 38 and the second cover 37 of the second case 24 rotatably support the second rotor 41, as well as form a closed space for housing the MG2 and the like. It is therefore possible to suppress foreign matter from getting into the first housing portion 23b and the second housing portion 24b and causing poor operation with respect to rotation and the like of the first rotor 33 and the second rotor 41.
- the MGl and the MG2 are able to maintain their functions as a motor or generator well, and are thus able to be highly reliable.
- the first cover 29 is arranged on the engine 12 side (i.e., on the end portion on the engine side of the first housing portion 23b) of the MGl inside the first main portion 23a.
- the diameter of the first main portion 23a in this location is comparatively larger than the general outside diameter around the first main portion 23a.
- the diameter of the first main portion 23a in this location is definitely larger than the diameter of the first main portion 23a at a location corresponding to the end portion on the driven wheel side of the first housing portion 23b.
- the size relationship of the distance Dl between the inside surface of the first housing portion 23b and the inside surface of the first main portion 23 a is the same as described above.
- the first cover 29 can still be arranged within the first main portion 23a and fastened to the first housing portion 23b by the first bolt 30. In this way, it is possible to suppress the outside diameter of the first case 23 from becoming larger with the first cover 29 attached, and therefore maintain the original outer shape of the drive case 21, in which it becomes increasingly narrow away from the engine 12.
- This outer shape is similar to the outer shape of an automatic transmission provided with a torque converter and a gear change mechanism, which is housed in a vehicle having a FR type drive system.
- the drive apparatus 14 instead of the automatic transmission, in the floor tunnel 19, and improve mountability of the drive apparatus 14 in the vehicle.
- the diameter of the first main portion 23a increases closer to the engine 12. Therefore, even in the first main portion 23a, a sufficiently wide space is created around the first cover 29, and particularly around the first flange 29a, arranged near the engine 12. This space facilitates the operation of loosening and tightening the first bolt 30 when detaching and attaching the first cover 29.
- the second cover 37 is arranged on the engine 12 side (i.e., on the end portion on the engine side of the second housing portion 24b) of the MG2 within the second main portion 24a.
- the diameter of the second main portion 24a in this location is comparatively larger than the general outside diameter around the second main portion 24a.
- the diameter of the second main portion 24a in this location is definitely larger than the diameter of-the second main portion 24a at a location corresponding to the end portion on the driven wheel side of the second housing portion 24b.
- the size relationship of the distance D2 between the inside surface of the second housing portion 24b and the inside surface of the second main portion 24a is the same as described above.
- the second cover 37 can be arranged within the second main portion 24a and fastened to the second housing portion 24b by the second bolt 40. In this way, it is possible to suppress the outside diameter of the second case 24 from becoming larger with the second cover 37 attached, and therefore maintain the original outer shape of the drive case 21, in which it becomes increasingly narrow away from the engine 12. Accordingly, together with the effect of (2) above, mountability of the drive apparatus 14 in the vehicle is further improved. (12) The diameter of the second main portion 24a increases closer to the engine 12.
- the MGl and the MG2 may each also be able to perform both a regenerative operation and a powering operation, or either one of the two. Accordingly, a VR type (variable reluctance type) synchronous motor, a vernier motor, a direct current motor, an induction motor, a superconducting motor, a step motor, or the like may also be used instead of an alternating current synchronous motor of the type used in the foregoing exemplary embodiment.
- a VR type variable reluctance type
- the drive apparatus according to the invention is not limited to a FR type driving system, but may also be applied to a hybrid vehicle having another type of driving system such as a front engine front drive (FF) driving system.
- FF front engine front drive
- the planetary carrier 58 of the speed reducing mechanism portion 28 is fixed.
- the ring gear 57 may be fixed to the third case 25 or the like.
- the second flange 37a may be formed over the entire circumference of the outer edge portion of the second cover 37, or only on a portion thereof.
- the power splitting mechanism portion includes the planetary gear set which has a ring gear with an outer diameter smaller than the motor generator and which is arranged between the motor generators.
- the oil pump to supply oil to sliding parts is provided in a space that is outward in the radial direction from the ring gear between the motor generators. According to the foregoing construction, the oil pump is able to be incorporated without losing the compactness of the drive apparatus by efficiently using the space between the two motor generators.
- the first fastening member includes a first bolt that is inserted through the first flange and screwed into the first housing portion.
- the first fastening member includes a first bolt that is inserted through the first flange and screwed into the first housing means.
- the first cover can be reliably fastened to the end portion on the engine side of the first housing portion by the first bolt.
- the second fastening member includes the second bolt that is inserted through the second flange and screwed into the second housing portion.
- the second fastening member includes the second bolt that is inserted through the second flange and screwed into the second housing means.
- the second cover can be reliably fastened to the end portion on the engine side of the second housing portion by the second bolt.
- the first housing portion has a cylindrical shape and is provided with a support wall on the end portion on the side opposite the engine. That support wall is on the side of the motor generator opposite the engine and closes off that end portion. According to this construction, the support wall and the first cover close off both end portions of the first housing portion so as to suppress foreign matter from getting into the first housing portion and causing poor operation of the first motor generator.
- the second housing portion has a cylindrical shape and is provided with second support wall on the end portion on the side opposite the engine.
- That second support wall is on the side of the second motor generator opposite the engine and closes off that end portion. According to this construction, the second support wall and the second cover close off both end portions of the second housing portion so as to suppress foreign matter from getting into the second housing portion and causing poor operation of the second motor generator.
