POWER OUTPUT DEVICE, VEHICLE HAVING THE DEVICE, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING POWER OUTPUT DEVICE

摘要

The rotating shaft 45 of the motor MG2 is connected to and disconnected from the first coupled rotating shaft 36, the crankshaft 26 of the engine 22, and the drive shaft 39 is connected to and disconnected from the second coupled rotating shaft 37 and the third coupled rotating shaft 38. Thereby, the connection state when a power is output to the drive shaft 39 can be increased and the power to the drive shaft 39 can be output in a more efficient connection state in comparison with only connecting and disconnecting the rotating shaft 45 of the motor MG2 to and from the first coupled rotating shaft 36 and the crankshaft 26 of the engine 22.
