DOUBLE-MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVE DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply appropriate amount of lubricant oil to right and left side speed reducers through splashing of lubricant oil at double-motor vehicle drive device having a speed reducer casing for storing two speed reducers in right and left parallel arrangement.SOLUTION: This invention comprises two electric motors for independently driving each of right and left drive wheels; two speed reducers for individually reducing speed of power force of two electric motors and transmitting power force to the right and left drive wheels; and a speed reducer casing for storing the speed reducers. The speed reducer casing has a partition wall 21 for partitioning the speed reducer casing into right and left two storing chambers at the center, the two speed reducers are independently stored in the right and left storing chambers, the partitioning wall 21 is provided with open holes 32c for communicating the right and left storing chambers to each other and then lubricant oil scraped up by a gear in one storing chamber is supplied to the other storing chamber through the open holes 32c.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
