Abstract
A hybrid drive device includes a fluid clutch including an inputting element to which an engine torque outputted from an engine is inputted and an outputting element connected to an input shaft of a transmission to integrally rotate therewith for outputting the torque to the input shaft, the fluid clutch transmitting the torque between the inputting element and the outputting element via a fluid either with or without incrementing the torque, and a motor generator connected to the input shaft for outputting a motor torque to the input shaft to drive the transmission.
Claims10
A hybrid drive device, comprising:
- a fluid clutch including an inputting element to which an engine torque outputted from an engine is inputted and an outputting element connected to an input shaft of a transmission to integrally rotate therewith for outputting the torque to the input shaft, the fluid clutch transmitting the torque between the inputting element and the outputting element via a fluid either with or without incrementing the torque;
- and
- a motor generator connected to the input shaft for outputting a motor torque to the input shaft to drive the transmission.
A hybrid drive device, comprising:
- a fluid clutch including a pump impeller to which an engine torque outputted from an engine is inputted and a turbine runner connected to an input shaft of a transmission to integrally rotate therewith for outputting the torque to the input shaft, the fluid clutch transmitting the torque between the pump impeller and the turbine runner via a fluid;
- a lock-up clutch positioned between the engine and the pump impeller;
- and
- a motor generator connected to the input shaft for outputting a motor torque to the input shaft to drive the transmission.
