Clutch device

Abstract

A clutch device includes a plurality of clutches; a plurality of cylinder chambers provided to respectively correspond to the clutches; a pump configured to discharge a hydraulic fluid; a plurality of control valves each of which is configured to control the hydraulic fluid supplied from the pump to a corresponding one of the cylinder chambers; and an oil passage that distributes the hydraulic fluid discharged from the pump, to the control valves. The oil passage includes at least one split point at which the hydraulic fluid discharged from the pump splits. At least one check valve is provided between the at least one split point and at least one control valve among the control valves, the at least one check valve being configured to block a flow of the hydraulic fluid in a direction from the at least one control valve toward the at least one split point.
