Abstract:
An oil pump having an inner rotor with of external teeth; an outer rotor that is eccentrically provided and has internal teeth that mesh with the inner rotor external teeth, and an oil pump body that accommodates the outer and inner rotors. By rotationally driving the inner rotor to increase and decrease a space between the internal and the external teeth, an intake stroke suctions hydraulic oil from the oil pump body and a discharge stroke discharges the suctioned hydraulic oil to a discharge port formed in the oil pump body. Between the intake and discharge strokes, a confinement stroke cuts off the suctioned hydraulic oil and confines the suctioned hydraulic oil in the space, and a compression stroke reduces the space and compresses the confined hydraulic oil. Further, an interval is set between a finish end portion of the intake port of the oil pump body and a start end portion of the discharge port such that a rotation angle of the inner rotor during the compression stroke is 21 to 27 degrees.
Abstract:
A hybrid drive system includes an engine; at least one rotating electric machine, wherein the engine and the at least one rotating electric machine are capable of driving a vehicle; and a controller. The controller starts a load limit control that limits a load exerted to the rotating electric machine when a temperature of the rotating electric machine exceeds a load limit start temperature; detects a loading state or a towing state of the vehicle; and determines the load limit start temperature based on the loading state or the towing state detected.
Abstract:
A transmission has an oil drain passage for connecting an oil reservoir with a mission case in a pump casing. The automatic transmission has also a retainer serving as a shielding member to shield between a discharge opening of the oil drain passage from at least part of a multistage transmission mechanism. This ensures that breather oil blow, which is caused by the spattering and stirring of operating oil by the high-speed drum member, is shielded from at least part of the transmission mechanism.
Abstract:
A bottom portion of an intake port is provided with a sloped bottom surface formed of a plane such that sloped bottom surface approaches the side surfaces of external teeth and internal teeth from an upstream side to a downstream side in rotational direction of two rotors. Fluid that flows in the intake port is regulated by the sloped bottom surface and smoothly guided into individual inter-teeth chambers that are expanding. Since the sloped bottom surface on the bottom portion of the intake port is formed of a plane without spiral or twisting, design and manufacturing of a gear pump is extremely easy.
Abstract:
The level of quietness for an automatic transmission case is ensured by preventing vibration by improving the rigidity while suppressing the increase in the mass of a transmission case. In an automatic transmission case in which a valve body is attached to a case wall that covers the transmission mechanism, the rigidity of the automatic transmission case is increased by providing, in the case, an enclosing wall that projects out from the case wall and encloses the periphery of the valve body.
Abstract:
A vehicular automatic transmission includes three single pinion planetary gear sets and a plurality of engagement elements. A plurality of gears is selectively established by three of the plurality of engagement elements being engaged and three of the plurality of engagement elements being released. One of the plurality of engagement elements is a dedicated reverse engagement element that is engaged when a reverse gear is established and is released when a forward gear is established.

A vehicle drive device includes a case with a case main body portion accommodating the speed change mechanism, and a connection case portion connecting the engine and the case main body portion and having a diameter increased toward the engine; a hydraulic pressure control device that is provided under the speed change mechanism, and controls a hydraulic pressure to be supplied to the speed change mechanism; and an electric pump that generates the hydraulic pressure to be supplied to the speed change mechanism through the hydraulic pressure control device.
Abstract:
A vehicular power transmitting system including a transmission portion constituting a part of a power transmitting path, an electric motor connected to the power transmitting path, an electrically controlled differential portion connected to the electric motor and having a differential state controllable according to a change of an operating speed of the electric motor, a casing accommodating the transmission portion, the electric motor and the electrically controlled differential portion, and a support member for supporting a rotor of the electric motor, the support member including a support portion formed in one axial end portion thereof, at which the rotor is supported rotatably about its axis, and a tapered portion having a diameter increasing in an axial direction from the one axial end portion toward the other axial end portion at which the support member is fixed to the casing, and wherein a winding portion of a stator of the electric motor is disposed in a space formed radially outwardly of the tapered portion, while a fluid passage portion for supplying a working fluid to frictional coupling devices of the transmission portion is disposed in a space formed radially inwardly of the tapered portion.
Abstract:
A transmission case includes a housing that accommodates a starting device, the housing having rib portions on an inner surface; and a speed change mechanism case connected to the housing, the speed change mechanism case accommodating a speed change mechanism, wherein a thin wall portion is provided in the housing by a groove formed in the housing, and the transmission case is structured such that stress is concentrated on the thin wall portion by at least one of the rib portions when an impact load is applied to the transmission case.
Abstract:
A drain structure where oil sucked from the oil pan by the oil pump is supplied to the torque converter and circulates therein, and the oil is drained into the transmission case through a drain oil passage; and the drain oil passage passes through a gap between the torque converter and the oil pump, is guided to an upper part facing a fitting surface between the oil pump and the transmission case, and is further guided from the upper part to a part under the oil pump and opens above an oil level in the transmission case, and drain oil from the drain oil passage is discharged toward the oil pan.
