  • Patent number: 9267573
    Abstract: This manual transmission includes a connection changeover mechanism which changes the state of connection between the output shafts of the motor generator and the transmission in accordance with a gear stage established by a driver's shift lever operation. When a gear stage for low speed travel is established, a power transmission system is established between the output shafts of the motor generator and the transmission, and the motor speed reduction ratio is set to a first speed reduction ratio. When a gear stage for intermediate speed travel is established, a power transmission system is established between the output shafts of the motor generator and the transmission, and the motor speed reduction ratio is set to a second speed reduction ratio. When a gear stage for high speed travel is established, no power transmission system is established between the output shafts.

  • Patent number: 9126589
    Abstract: This transmission include an input shaft to which power is input from an internal combustion engine and an output shaft to which power is input from an electric motor. This transmission has a gear stage (EV) for EV travel (different from the neutral) in which no power transmission system is established between the input and output shafts, and a plurality of gear stages (1-st to 5-th) for HV travel in which a power transmission system is established between the input and output shafts. “1-st” is used in place of “EV” so as to start a vehicle only when EV travel cannot be performed normally. On an H pattern, a “shift completion position for EV” is disposed at a position through which a shift operation member passes during a “shift operation” (operation in the front-rear direction of the vehicle) from a “1-2 selection position” to a “shift completion position for 1-st.

  • Patent number: 8961365
    Abstract: A manual transmission including an input shaft Ai receiving power from an internal combustion engine through a clutch, an output shaft Ao receiving power from an electric motor, an EV gear stage for EV travel (different from neutral) in which no power transmission route is established between Ai and Ao, and a plurality of gear stages for HV travel in which a power transmission route is established between Ai and Ao. The movement of a shift lever SL from the neutral position to an EV-gear-stage shift completion position and the movement of the shift lever SL from the neutral position to the EV-gear-stage shift completion position is permitted only in a state in which the clutch pedal CP is depressed to provide an HV-MT vehicle power transmission control apparatus that includes a mechanism requiring a driver to operate a clutch pedal at the time of gear change.

  • Publication number: 20140208893
    Abstract: This manual transmission includes an input shaft Ai to which power is input from an internal combustion engine E/G through a clutch C/T, an output shaft Ao to which power is input from an electric motor M/G, and a plurality of EV travel gear stages (EV, EV-R) in which no power transmission system is established between the input shaft Ai and the output shaft Ao, and a plurality of HV travel gear stages (2-nd to 5-th) in which a power transmission system is established between the input shaft Ai and the output shaft Ao. On an H-type shift pattern, the shift completion position of the EV travel gear stage for forward travel (EV) is disposed at the forward end of the leftmost shift line, and the shift completion position of the EV travel gear stage for reverse travel (EV-R) is disposed at the rearward end of the rightmost shift line.

  • Publication number: 20140202282
    Abstract: The manual transmission of this apparatus includes an input shaft Ai to which power is input from an internal combustion engine E/G through a clutch CIT and an output shaft Ao to which power is input from an electric motor M/G. This transmission has a plurality of EV travel gear stages (EV, EV-R) (different from the neutral) in which no power transmission system is established between the input shaft Ai and the output shaft Ao, and a plurality of HV travel gear stages (2-nd to 5-th) in which a power transmission system is established between the input shaft Ai and the output shaft Ao.

  • Publication number: 20140083247
    Abstract: This manual transmission includes an input shaft, an output shaft, and an MG shaft. This transmission includes a motor speed change mechanism which establishes a power transmission system between the output shaft and the MG shaft and can selectively set the ratio of rotational speed of the MG shaft to that of the output shaft to one of two values (Hi or Lo). During a period during which a selection operation, which is an operation in the left-right direction of a vehicle of a shift lever, is performed on a shift pattern, the motor speed change mechanism changes the motor speed reduction ratio in a manner interlocked with the selection operation. As a result, during the selection operation, which is a state in which a driver is unlikely to perceive an external shock, the driver receives a shock produced as a result of changing of the motor speed reduction ratio.
