    Abstract: A power transmission device mounted on a vehicle includes: a rotation transmission member that transmits power transmitted from a driving source to an input shaft; a power connection switching mechanism that is connected to or cut off from the driving source and the rotation transmission member; and an oil pump to which rotation of either a first rotational shaft on a driving source side of the power connection switching mechanism and a second rotational shaft on a driving wheel side of the power connection switching mechanism is selectively transmitted to drive the oil pump. The oil pump is coupled to the second rotational shaft via a gear transmission mechanism in which a plurality of gears mesh with each other. A first rotation ratio of the first rotational shaft and the oil pump, and a second rotation ratio of the second rotational shaft and the oil pump are different.

  • Publication number: 20120032405
    Abstract: A sealing structure for a continuously variable transmission, which seals a clearance between a movable sheave and a cylinder. The continuously variable transmission may change a groove width of each pulley of the cylinder by moving a corresponding movable sheave though supply and discharge of a hydraulic pressure to and from the cylinder. The sealing structure includes an outer peripheral side seal member that is ring-shaped and disposed in a ring-shaped groove formed in one of the movable sheave and the cylinder; and an inner peripheral side seal member that is more elastic than the outer peripheral side seal member, ring-shaped, and disposed in a layered manner in the ring-shaped groove on an inner peripheral side with respect to the outer peripheral side seal member. A side of the outer peripheral side seal member where it contacts the inner peripheral side seal member is chamfered.
