Abstract
Description
また、本願において「回転電機」は、モータ(電動機)、ジェネレータ(発電機)、及び必要に応じてモータ及びジェネレータの双方の機能を果たすモータ・ジェネレータのいずれをも含む概念として用いている。
また、本願において「流体継手」は、トルク増幅機能を有するトルクコンバータ、及びトルク増幅機能を有さない通常の流体継手のいずれをも含む概念として用いている。
また、本願において、部材の形状に関し、ある方向に(或いは、ある方向へ)「延びる」とは、当該方向を基準方向として、部材の延在方向が前記基準方向に平行な形状に限らず、部材の延在方向が前記基準方向に交差する方向であっても、その交差角度が所定範囲内である形状も含む概念として用いている。
そして、第一軸受及び第二軸受とは別に動力伝達部材を径方向に支持する径方向支持軸受が備えられる場合には、当該径方向支持軸受に軸方向の荷重が作用することを抑制することができるため、第一軸受及び第二軸受を備えない場合に比べて、当該径方向支持軸受として寸法の小さな軸受を用いることが可能となる。また、このような径方向支持軸受が備えられる場合には、第一軸受及び第二軸受にて径方向の大きな荷重を受ける必要がないため、第一軸受及び第二軸受についても、寸法の小さな軸受を用いることが可能となる。従って、第一軸受及び第二軸受を含む各軸受を小型化することができ、各軸受を適切に配置して装置全体の小型化を図ることが容易となる。
また、上記の特徴構成によれば、第一軸受及び第二軸受の双方とも同一の壁部である支持壁部に対して動力伝達部材を支持する。そのため、第一軸受及び第二軸受が互いに別の壁部に対して動力伝達部材を支持する場合に比べて、ケース内における各部材(例えば、他の壁部等)についての設計の自由度を高めることが容易となり、この点からも、装置全体の小型化を図ることが容易となる。
図1は、本実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1の概略構成を示す模式図である。図1に示すように、この車両用駆動装置1は、回転電機MGと、トルクコンバータTCと、回転電機MG及びトルクコンバータTCを収容するケース3(図2参照)と、を備えている。トルクコンバータTCは、回転電機MGに駆動連結されており、具体的には、回転電機MGと出力軸Oとの間の動力伝達経路に設けられている。出力軸Oは、出力用差動歯車装置DFを介して車輪Wに駆動連結されており、出力軸Oに伝達された回転及びトルクは、出力用差動歯車装置DFを介して左右2つの車輪Wに分配されて伝達される。これにより、車両用駆動装置1は、回転電機MGのトルクを車輪Wに伝達させて車両を走行させることができる。本実施形態では、トルクコンバータTCが本発明における「流体継手」に相当する。

トルクコンバータTCは、図2に示すように、回転電機MGに対して軸第一方向L1側にて当該回転電機MGと同軸上に配置されている。トルクコンバータTCは、軸方向Lにおける第一支持壁部31と第三支持壁部33との間に配置されている。トルクコンバータTCは、回転電機MGのロータ部材21に駆動連結される継手入力部材2と、車輪Wに駆動連結される継手出力部材4と、を備えている。
動力伝達部材Tは、ロータ部材21と継手入力部材2とが連動して回転するように連結されて構成されている。ここで、「連動して」とは、ロータ部材21と継手入力部材2との回転速度の比が一意に定まる状態を意味する。本実施形態では、ロータ部材21と継手入力部材2とが一体回転するように連結されて、動力伝達部材Tが構成されている。なお、本実施形態では、ロータ部材21と継手入力部材2とは、以下に述べる連結部材10を介して連結されている。すなわち、本実施形態では、動力伝達部材Tは、ロータ部材21、継手入力部材2、及び連結部材10を含んで構成されている。
次に、本実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1における各構成部材の支持構造について、動力伝達部材Tの支持構造を中心に説明する。
図2及び図3に示すように、車両用駆動装置1は、ロータ部材21を径方向Rに支持する軸受として、第五軸受75と第七軸受77とを備えており、ロータ部材21はこれらの第五軸受75及び第七軸受77により、軸方向Lの両側で径方向Rに支持されている。第五軸受75は、ロータ部材21を第一支持壁部31に対して回転可能な状態で径方向Rに支持する軸受であり、径方向Rの荷重を受けることが可能なラジアル軸受(本例ではボールベアリング)が用いられる。第七軸受77は、ロータ部材21を第二支持壁部32に対して回転可能な状態で径方向Rに支持する軸受であり、径方向Rの荷重を受けることが可能なラジアル軸受(本例ではボールベアリング)が用いられる。本実施形態では、第五軸受75が本発明における「第三軸受」に相当し、第七軸受77が本発明における「第四軸受」に相当する。
