  • Patent number: 11548366
    Abstract: A vehicle drive apparatus includes: a first bearing disposed between a rotor support member and a case in a radial direction so as to restrict movement of the rotor support member to a first axial side relative to the case; and a second bearing disposed between a connecting shaft and the case in an axial direction so as to restrict movement of the connecting shaft to a second axial side relative to the case. A fluid transmission device is disposed on the first axial side relative to the connecting shaft. The rotor support member includes a tubular portion having a tubular shape extending in the axial direction and fitted to an outer peripheral surface of the connecting shaft. Movement of the connecting shaft to the first axial side relative to the tubular portion is restricted.

  • Patent number: 11498408
    Abstract: A hybrid drive device including a rotary electric machine having a stator and a rotor, a transmission coupled to the rotary electric machine, a clutch that couples an engine and the rotary electric machine and that releases a connection of the two, and a case for housing the rotary electric machine and the clutch, the hybrid drive device including: a first transmitting shaft coupled to an output shaft of the engine; and a second transmitting shaft that transmits power from the rotor of the rotary electric machine to the transmission.

  • Publication number: 20220123630
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine rotor includes a rotor core and a core support member that supports the rotor core. The core support member includes a tubular portion formed in a tubular shape and a support portion supported so as to be rotatable with respect to a non-rotary member to support the tubular portion from the inner side in a radial direction. The core support member is formed such that a diameter of a fitting surface portion in a specific region, which includes an overlapping region which overlaps a connection region as viewed in the radial direction, is smaller than a diameter of the fitting surface portion in a general region which is a region other than the specific region.

  • Patent number: 8939196
    Abstract: A secondary pump-type heat source system includes: heat sources connected in parallel; a load system in which the heat source water flows; a primary pump supplying the heat source water to the load system; a secondary pump provided for each heat source and supplies the heat source water subjected to heat exchange in the load system to the heat source; and a heat source controller calculating flow quantity of the heat source water flowing in the heat source side and flow quantity of the heat source water flowing in the load system side by assigning a result from measurement by a water temperature sensor detecting heat source temperature to an operating characteristic of each heat source and controlling operation of the secondary pumps based on the calculation result.
