<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a generator-motor usable as an engine starter and a drive assist device, and capable of using an existing power train with a simple and compact structure. SOLUTION: A first shaft 2 of a clutch means 4 is connected to a shaft for an engine and a second shaft 3 is connected to a shaft of a transmission. The clutch means 4 is of a multiple-disk type and has a structure having an electromagnetic clutch 14, at least, in a part. A unit housing 1 is connected to the engine or a block of the transmission and is provided with a stator 21 of a generator-motor 20 fixed to its internal circumferential face. A rotor 22 of the generator-motor 20 is fixedly installed on the outer circumferential face of a clutch case 9 connected to the second shaft 3. The generator-motor 20 and the clutch means are controlled according to the driving state of a vehicle so as to provide them with a plurality of functions. The unit itself can be thus formed compact.</p> |
