Patent number: 9434377Abstract: A hybrid drive device has a clutch connecting and disconnecting an output shaft and an input shaft, a first motor generator that rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the input shaft, an allowable clutch heat generation amount calculation portion that calculates the allowable clutch heat generation amount, an allowable differential clutch rotation speed calculation portion which calculates the allowable differential clutch rotation speed for when engagement starts, on the basis of the allowable clutch heat generation amount, and a motor generator rotation control portion that controls the rotation speed of the first motor generator such that the differential clutch rotation speed when engagement starts and during engagement is no more than the allowable differential clutch rotation speed when engagement starts.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignees: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHA, AISIN AW CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshitomi Haneda, Yasuhiro Ishihara, Yoshinori Ono, Masaki Nomura, Shiko Yoshimura, Shigeki Takami, Tomoo Atarashi, Takafumi Koshida

Patent number: 9180858Abstract: A hybrid drive device in which an input shaft is connected to an engine, an output shaft is connected to wheels, and a wheel drive motor is connected between the input shaft and the output shaft. In the hybrid device, a friction engagement element that is provided between the input shaft and the output shaft and of which transfer torque is controllable. A control device controls the friction engagement element. The control device reduces the transfer torque of the friction engagement element during engine starting in a predetermined low temperature environment or during travel on a bad road, compared to the transfer torque of the friction engagement element in an engaged state.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignees: AISIN AW CO., LTD., AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hidetoshi Aoki, Takafumi Koshida, Yoshitomi Haneda, Tokiyoshi Kida, Hiroshi Imai
