POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS FOR HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

A POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS (1) FOR A HYBRID VEHICLE HAVING AN ENGINE (6) AND A MOTOR (7) IS PROVIDED WITH A PLANETARY GEAR MECHANISM (31) CONFIGURED TO DIFFERENTIALLY ROTATE A SUN GEAR (32), A CARRIER (36) AND A RING GEAR (35). THE SUN GEAR (32) IS CONNECTED TO ONE OF A FIRST INPUT SHAFT A SECOND INPUT SHAFT AND TO THE MOTOR (7). THE RING GEAR (35) IS CONNECTED TO A LOCK MECHANISM CAPABLE OF STOPPING A ROTATION STATE. THE CARRIER (36) IS CONFIGURED TO TRANSMIT POWER TO A COUNTER SHAFT (14). THE OTHER OF THE FIRST INPUT SHAFT AND THE SECOND INPUT SHAFT IS CONFIGURED TO TRANSMIT POWER TO THE COUNTER SHAFT (14) WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH THE PLANETARY GEAR MECHANISM (31).
