  • Patent number: 11919506
    Abstract: A vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine; a rotary electric machine; a connection-disconnection device; a hydraulic pressure supply device; a hydraulic pressure control device; and a control device. The hydraulic pressure supply device includes a mechanical hydraulic pressure supply device and a pressure accumulator. The control device executes fuel cut-off control to stop fuel supply to the internal combustion engine and rotation speed maintaining control to maintain a rotation speed of the internal combustion engine at a predetermined rotation speed by rotationally driving the internal combustion engine by the rotary electric machine or supplying fuel to the internal combustion engine.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9651137
    Abstract: An opening end of an inboard section includes: an end surface composed of a plane positioned farthest from the center of a differential device in the axial direction and perpendicular to the axial direction; a ledge positioned adjacent to the end surface in the circumferential direction of the opening end and closer to the center than the end surface in the axial direction; and a tapered section in a slope shape formed continuing to the inner diameter side of the ledge at the opening end, slanting toward the inner diameter side of the opening end and approaching the center. Lubricating oil supplied to the opening end of the inboard section flows to the tapered section via the ledge and flows from the tapered section into a spiral groove formed on an inner periphery of the inboard section.
