Abstract
The hybrid drive device characterized in that: a case space (G1, G2) is divided by a partition wall (24) into a first case part (22) and a second case part (23); a drive electric motor (8) is provided in the first case part (22); a friction engagement element (B1) is provided in the second case part (23); and a through hole (59) that communicates the case spaces (G1, G2) is formed.
Claims12
A hybrid drive device that includes:
- a case main body having i) at least one partition wall, ii) a first case part and iii) a second case part in which a first space and a second space divided by the partition wall are respectively formed;
- an electric motor that includes i) a stator fixed to the first case part and having a winding wire, ii) a rotor shaft provided in the stator for free rotation, and iii) a rotor fixed to the rotor shaft;
- a rotary shaft being coaxial with the rotor shaft and rotatable together with the rotor shaft;
- a friction engagement element that includes i) a first friction member spline-coupled to an inner peripheral part of the second case part, ii) a hub supported by the rotary shaft, and iii) a second friction member that is spline-coupled to the hub and that is frictionally or non-frictionally engaged with the first friction member;
- and
- lubricant supply means for supplying lubricant to the friction engagement element, the friction engagement element being provided in the vicinity of the partition wall,
- the hybrid drive device being characterized in that a through hole that communicates the first space and the second space is formed in the partition wall while facing the friction engagement element.
