Abstract: An automatic transmission includes two clutches that are disposed such that they overlap in an axial direction and occupy different positions in a radial direction. Each of the two clutches includes a clutch drum, a piston that forms a working fluid chamber for which a portion of the clutch drum serves as a cylinder, a plurality of friction plates that engage the clutch drum, and a cancel oil chamber that is disposed on a rear face side of the piston and that cancels a centrifugal oil pressure that acts on the working fluid chamber.

Abstract: An automatic transmission that includes two clutches that are disposed at positions that overlap in an axial direction and are different in a radial direction. The two clutches each include: a clutch drum, a piston that structures a working oil chamber with a portion of the clutch drum used as a cylinder, a plurality of friction plates that engage the clutch drum, and a cancel oil chamber that is disposed on a back surface side of the piston and that cancels a centrifugal hydraulic pressure that acts on the working oil chamber. An inner spline is formed on the clutch drum of one clutch, among the two clutches, that is positioned on an outer diameter side. An outer spline is formed on the clutch drum of the other clutch, among the two clutches, that is positioned on an inner diameter side.

Abstract: A first element of a duplex planetary gear set is selectively coupled to an input shaft via a third clutch, or is selectively fixed via a first brake. A second element is selectively coupled, via a second clutch, to an intermediate shaft that is directly coupled to a speed-increasing element of a simplex planetary gear set which increases the rotational speed of the input shaft, or is selectively fixed via a second brake. A third element is directly coupled to an output shaft. A fourth element is selectively coupled to the input shaft via a first clutch. Therefore, by increasing the speed of the rotation of the input shaft by the simplex planetary gear set and transferring it to the duplex planetary gear set, it is possible to reduce the torques on individual components of an automatic transmission and therefore to reduce the sizes of the individual components and the capacities of the individual friction engagement elements.

Abstract: In a lubricating oil supply device for an automatic transmission which supplies lubricating oil to a clutch arranged inside an automatic transmission, an oil reception section in a circumferential direction which receives the lubricating oil and is open in a shaft direction of an input shaft is formed in an approximately annular-shaped carrier cover by a wall section of the carrier cover which, together with a carrier, attaches a pinion shaft, a base section of the carrier cover extending in the shaft direction of the pinion shaft, and an end section as a part in an inner direction of the clutch hub connected with the base section of the carrier cover.

Abstract: A lubricating oil feeding device includes a carrier and a carrier cover that are attached to both ends of the pinion shaft of the planetary gear and that are arranged in an axial direction of an input shaft of the automatic transmission; an oil sump groove that opens in a peripheral direction and the axial direction of the input shaft, the oil sump groove is structured by a wall portion of the carrier cover formed radiating from a center of the input shaft, a base portion of the carrier cover that extends in an axial direction of the pinion shaft, and an end portion on an inner peripheral surface of a clutch hub that is connected with the base portion; and an oil passage that feeds lubricating oil from the oil sump groove to the pinion shaft, and provides the lubricating oil for the planetary gear.

Abstract: An automatic transmission that includes one clutch that includes a clutch drum; a piston that forms a hydraulic oil chamber using a part of the clutch drum as a cylinder; a plurality of friction plates that engage with the clutch drum; and a cancel oil chamber that is provided on a rear side of the piston and that cancels a centrifugal oil pressure that acts on the hydraulic oil chamber. Oil is supplied to the cancel oil chamber from a boss portion formed in the clutch drum on a radially inner side, and the oil is discharged from discharge holes formed in the boss portion to an outside of a hydraulic oil chamber side of the clutch drum.

Abstract: A vehicle driving apparatus includes a rotating electrical machine; a power transmitting gear mechanism; and a case in which the rotating electrical machine and the gear mechanism are housed in series in an axial direction of the rotating electrical machine, wherein a low rigidity region, which is a region of the case having low rigidity located at an outer periphery of the rotating electrical machine, is covered by a silencer supported on a high rigidity region of the case having a higher rigidity than the low rigidity region.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission 1, a clutch C-1, a clutch C-3, and a clutch C-4 are disposed in an axial direction more toward the planetary gear DP side than the planetary gear unit PU. The friction plates 21 of the clutch C-1 and the friction plates 31 of the clutch C-3 are disposed on the outer peripheral side of the planetary gear DP, and at least a portion of the friction plates 41 of the clutch C-4 is disposed so as to coincide in an axial direction with the inner peripheral side of the friction plates 31 of the clutch C-3. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the length of the automatic transmission 1 in an axial direction by the amount that the friction plates 31 of the clutch C-3 and the friction plates 41 of the clutch C-4 coincide in an axial direction.
