Description

本発明は、内燃機関から動力を入力して自動車の駆動車輪などを駆動する変速装置において、補助動力として電動機を備えた変速装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a transmission that includes an electric motor as auxiliary power in a transmission that inputs power from an internal combustion engine to drive a driving wheel of an automobile.

内燃機関から動力を入力して自動車の車輪などを駆動する変速装置には、例えば特許文献1に示すように、電動機によっても車輪を駆動するようにしたハイブリッド式のものがある。この特許文献1では、内燃機関からの第1の動力は変速装置により変速され、差動装置及びアクスルシャフトを介して駆動車輪を駆動し、電動機からの第2の動力は変速装置を介することなく差動装置のケースに伝達され、アクスルシャフトを介して駆動車輪を駆動している。
米国特許第6719654号明細書(明細書第1頁右欄第57〜62行、図1〜図3)
As a transmission that inputs power from an internal combustion engine to drive a wheel of an automobile, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, there is a hybrid type that drives a wheel also by an electric motor. In this Patent Document 1, the first power from the internal combustion engine is shifted by the transmission, the driving wheel is driven through the differential and the axle shaft, and the second power from the electric motor is not transmitted through the transmission. It is transmitted to the case of the differential device and drives the drive wheels via the axle shaft.
US Pat. No. 6,719,654 (Specification, page 1, right column, lines 57-62, FIGS. 1-3)

図5はこの種の自動車の車速に対する駆動車輪の駆動力及び走行抵抗の特性を示す図である。第1〜第5の各変速段における車速に対する内燃機関による駆動力の特性は、図5の各特性曲線S1〜S5に示すとおりであり、車速に対する電動機による駆動力の特性は、図5の特性曲線Mに示すとおりである。これに対し車速に対する走行抵抗は、路面状況により異なるが、通常はほゞ走行抵抗曲線Rに示すとおりである。従って走行抵抗曲線Rが電動機による駆動力特性曲線Mがよりも大となる車速がVa以上の範囲では、電動機により車輪の駆動力を増大させる効果は殆ど期待できない。しかし上述した特許文献1の技術では、電動機はこの車速がVa以上の範囲でも差動装置に連結されているので車輪側から逆駆動されて連れ回りされる。車速がVa以上の範囲は変速装置が最高速段である第5速となる範囲と大体一致するが、通常の運転では自動車は変速装置の最高速段で使用される期間が長く、その間は電動機は高速で連れ回りされて発熱され、その熱の蓄積により高温になるので、電動機は水冷などの特別な冷却手段により冷却する必要があるという問題がある。   FIG. 5 is a graph showing the characteristics of the driving force and running resistance of the driving wheel with respect to the vehicle speed of this type of automobile. The characteristics of the driving force by the internal combustion engine with respect to the vehicle speed at each of the first to fifth gears are as shown in the characteristic curves S1 to S5 in FIG. 5, and the characteristics of the driving force with the motor with respect to the vehicle speed are the characteristics of FIG. As shown by curve M. On the other hand, the running resistance with respect to the vehicle speed is usually as shown in the running resistance curve R, although it varies depending on the road surface condition. Therefore, in the range where the vehicle speed at which the running resistance curve R is larger than the driving force characteristic curve M by the electric motor is Va or higher, the effect of increasing the driving force of the wheels by the electric motor can hardly be expected. However, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described above, since the motor is connected to the differential device even when the vehicle speed is in the range of Va or higher, the motor is driven reversely from the wheel side. The range where the vehicle speed is Va or higher is roughly the same as the range in which the transmission is at the fifth speed, which is the highest speed stage. However, in normal driving, the automobile is used at the highest speed stage of the transmission for a long period of time. Since the motor is heated at a high speed and generates heat and becomes high temperature due to the accumulation of the heat, there is a problem that the motor needs to be cooled by a special cooling means such as water cooling.

本発明は、変速装置の最高速段では電動機と変速装置の出力側との間の動力伝達が遮断されるようにして、このような各問題を解決することを目的とする。   An object of the present invention is to solve each of these problems by interrupting power transmission between the electric motor and the output side of the transmission at the highest speed stage of the transmission.

このために、本発明による電動機を備えた変速装置は、内燃機関に連結された入力軸及び駆動車輪などに連結された主軸と、この両軸にそれぞれ設けられて互いに噛合する複数の変速ギヤ対と、この複数の変速ギヤ対をそれらの何れか1対により両軸の間の動力伝達がなされるように選択的に切り換えるシフト装置と、駆動車輪を内燃機関とは別に駆動する電動機を備えた変速装置において、複数の変速ギヤ対のうちの最高速段となる変速ギヤ対がシフト装置により選択されている状態では、電動機と駆動車輪の間の動力伝達はシフト装置により遮断されるよう構成したことを特徴とするものである。   To this end, a transmission including an electric motor according to the present invention includes an input shaft coupled to an internal combustion engine, a main shaft coupled to a drive wheel, and the like, and a plurality of transmission gear pairs that are provided on both shafts and mesh with each other. And a shift device that selectively switches the plurality of transmission gear pairs so that power is transmitted between the two shafts by any one of them, and an electric motor that drives the drive wheels separately from the internal combustion engine. In the transmission, the transmission between the electric motor and the drive wheel is cut off by the shift device when the shift gear pair that is the highest speed among the plurality of transmission gear pairs is selected by the shift device. It is characterized by this.

前項に記載の電動機を備えた変速装置において、電動機から駆動車輪に動力を伝達する連動機構は主軸に回転自在に設けられた最後の回転部材を有するものとし、シフト装置は最後の回転部材を主軸に係合または離脱する係合切換機構を備えたものとすることが好ましい。   In the transmission including the electric motor described in the preceding paragraph, the interlocking mechanism that transmits power from the electric motor to the driving wheel has a last rotating member rotatably provided on the main shaft, and the shift device has the last rotating member on the main shaft. It is preferable that an engagement switching mechanism that engages or disengages is provided.

前項に記載の電動機を備えた変速装置において、最高速段変速ギヤ対の従動側変速ギヤは連動機構の最後の回転部材に接近して主軸に回転自在に設けられ、係合切換機構は従動側変速ギヤと最後の回転部材の間となる主軸に軸線方向摺動のみ自在に設けられて従動側変速ギヤと最後の回転部材を主軸に選択的に連結する最高速段切換スリーブを備えたものとすることが好ましい。   In the transmission including the electric motor described in the preceding paragraph, the driven side transmission gear of the highest speed stage transmission gear pair is provided to be rotatable on the main shaft close to the last rotating member of the interlocking mechanism, and the engagement switching mechanism is driven side A main shaft between the transmission gear and the last rotating member is provided with a maximum speed stage switching sleeve provided so as to be freely slidable in the axial direction and selectively connecting the driven transmission gear and the last rotating member to the main shaft. It is preferable to do.

本発明の電動機を備えた変速装置によれば、複数の変速ギヤ対のうちの最高速段となる変速ギヤ対がシフト装置により選択されている状態では、電動機と駆動車輪の間の動力伝達はシフト装置により遮断されるよう構成したので、使用される期間が長い最高速段においては、電動機が駆動車輪により連れ回りされて発熱することはなく、高温となることもない。従って水冷などの特別な冷却手段は不要となり、空冷で足りるので電動機を備えた変速装置の構造を簡略化させることができる。   According to the transmission including the electric motor of the present invention, power transmission between the electric motor and the driving wheel is performed in a state where the transmission gear pair that is the highest speed among the plurality of transmission gear pairs is selected by the shift device. Since it is configured to be shut off by the shift device, the motor is not driven by the driving wheels and does not generate heat at the highest speed stage where the period of use is long, and the temperature does not rise. Accordingly, special cooling means such as water cooling is not necessary, and air cooling is sufficient, and the structure of the transmission including the electric motor can be simplified.

電動機から駆動車輪に動力を伝達する連動機構は主軸に回転自在に設けられた最後の回転部材を有するものとし、シフト装置は最後の回転部材を主軸に係合または離脱する係合切換機構を備えたものとした電動機を備えた変速装置によれば、電動機と駆動車輪との間の動力伝達の遮断構造が簡略化されるので、製造コストを削減することができる。   The interlocking mechanism for transmitting power from the electric motor to the driving wheel has the last rotating member rotatably provided on the main shaft, and the shift device has an engagement switching mechanism for engaging or disengaging the last rotating member with the main shaft. According to the transmission including the electric motor, the structure for interrupting power transmission between the electric motor and the drive wheel is simplified, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

最高速段変速ギヤ対の従動側変速ギヤは電動機から主軸に動力を伝達する連動機構の最後の回転部材に接近して主軸に回転自在に設けられ、係合切換機構は従動側変速ギヤと最後の回転部材の間となる主軸に軸線方向摺動のみ自在に設けられて従動側変速ギヤと最後の回転部材を主軸に選択的に連結する最高速段切換スリーブを備えたものとした電動機を備えた変速装置によれば、最高速段切換スリーブにより最高速段となる変速ギヤ対を選択すれば直ちに電動機と主軸の間の動力伝達が遮断され、最高速段変速ギヤ対の選択と電動機と主軸の間の動力伝達の遮断を連動して行うための特別な手段は不要であるので電動機を備えた変速装置の構造は一層簡略化され、これにより製造コストをさらに一層削減することができる。   The driven side transmission gear of the highest speed transmission gear pair is provided so as to be rotatable on the main shaft close to the last rotating member of the interlock mechanism that transmits power from the motor to the main shaft, and the engagement switching mechanism is connected to the driven side transmission gear and the last gear. An electric motor provided with a high-speed stage switching sleeve which is provided only freely in the axial direction on the main shaft between the rotary members of the motor and which selectively connects the driven transmission gear and the last rotary member to the main shaft. According to the transmission, the transmission of power between the electric motor and the main shaft is immediately cut off when the transmission gear pair that achieves the highest speed is selected by the highest speed gear switching sleeve. Since no special means for interlocking the power transmission between the two is required, the structure of the transmission equipped with the electric motor is further simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be further reduced.

次に上述した実施形態の作動の説明を行う。先ず図2により、第1速走行時の説明をする。この状態では第1噛合切換機構20の第1切換スリーブ20aはシフト装置Tにより左向きにシフトされ、従動側変速ギヤ15bが主軸13に連結されて第1速変速ギヤ対15a,15bが選択され、第3噛合切換機構22の第3切換スリーブ22aはシフト装置Tにより右向きにシフトされて減速ギヤ列31の最後のギヤ31cは主軸13に連結され、クラッチ11は係合され、発電電動機30はコントローラ(図示省略)により電動機として作動するように切り換えられている。この第1速走行状態では、エンジン10の駆動力は、図2の実線の白抜き矢印に示すように、クラッチ11、入力軸12、第1速変速ギヤ対15a,15b及び第1切換スリーブ20aを介して主軸13に伝達されるとともに、発電電動機30の駆動力も、図2の破線の白抜き矢印に示すように、減速ギヤ列31及び第3切換スリーブ22aを介して主軸13に伝達されるので、主軸13はエンジン10及び発電電動機30の両方により回転駆動される。この主軸13の回転は、実線の白抜き矢印に示すように、ギヤ35,36、差動装置37及びアクスルシャフト38a,38bを介して駆動車輪39a,39bに伝達されるので、駆動車輪39a,39bはエンジン10及び発電電動機30の両方により駆動される。このときのエンジン10のスロットル開度は、エンジン10及び発電電動機30の両方によりそのときの走行状態に応じた駆動力が得られるような開度にされている。   Next, the operation of the above-described embodiment will be described. First, a description will be given of the first speed traveling with reference to FIG. In this state, the first switching sleeve 20a of the first mesh switching mechanism 20 is shifted leftward by the shift device T, the driven side transmission gear 15b is connected to the main shaft 13, and the first speed transmission gear pair 15a, 15b is selected. The third switching sleeve 22a of the third meshing switching mechanism 22 is shifted rightward by the shift device T, the last gear 31c of the reduction gear train 31 is connected to the main shaft 13, the clutch 11 is engaged, and the generator motor 30 is a controller. It is switched to operate as an electric motor (not shown). In this first speed running state, the driving force of the engine 10 is as shown by a solid white arrow in FIG. 2, the clutch 11, the input shaft 12, the first speed transmission gear pairs 15 a and 15 b, and the first switching sleeve 20 a. , And the driving force of the generator motor 30 is also transmitted to the main shaft 13 via the reduction gear train 31 and the third switching sleeve 22a, as indicated by the broken white arrows in FIG. Therefore, the main shaft 13 is rotationally driven by both the engine 10 and the generator motor 30. The rotation of the main shaft 13 is transmitted to the drive wheels 39a and 39b via the gears 35 and 36, the differential device 37 and the axle shafts 38a and 38b, as indicated by the solid white arrows. 39 b is driven by both the engine 10 and the generator motor 30. The throttle opening degree of the engine 10 at this time is set to such an opening degree that a driving force corresponding to the traveling state at that time can be obtained by both the engine 10 and the generator motor 30.

第2速走行時には、第1切換スリーブ20aが右向きにシフトされて従動側変速ギヤ15bの代わりに従動側変速ギヤ16bが主軸13に連結される点を除き第2図と同じであり、第1速の場合と同様、駆動車輪39a,39bはエンジン10及び発電電動機30の両方により駆動される。第3速及び第4速走行時には、第1切換スリーブ20aが図1に示す中立位置に戻されて両従動側変速ギヤ15b及び16bが主軸13との係合から離脱され、第2切換スリーブ21aがシフトされそのときの変速段に応じて駆動側変速ギヤ17a及び18aの何れか一方が入力軸12に連結される点を除き第2図と同じであり、第1速及び第2速の場合と同様、駆動車輪39a,39bはエンジン10及び発電電動機30の両方により駆動される。   When traveling in the second speed, the first switching sleeve 20a is shifted rightward and is the same as in FIG. 2 except that the driven transmission gear 16b is connected to the main shaft 13 instead of the driven transmission gear 15b. As in the case of the speed, the drive wheels 39 a and 39 b are driven by both the engine 10 and the generator motor 30. When traveling in the third speed and the fourth speed, the first switching sleeve 20a is returned to the neutral position shown in FIG. 1 so that both driven transmission gears 15b and 16b are disengaged from the main shaft 13, and the second switching sleeve 21a. Is the same as in FIG. 2 except that one of the drive side transmission gears 17a and 18a is connected to the input shaft 12 according to the gear position at that time, and in the case of the first speed and the second speed Similarly, the drive wheels 39 a and 39 b are driven by both the engine 10 and the generator motor 30.

次に変速装置Gの連結状態が図2に示す第1速状態で、エンジン10のスロットル開度を最小とし、クラッチ11を離脱させて制動を行えば、発電電動機30はコントローラ(図示省略)により発電機として作動するように切り換えられ、アクスルシャフト38a,38bは駆動車輪39a,39b側から逆駆動されて連れ回りされる。この制動状態では、駆動車輪39a,39bからの逆駆動力は、図3の破線の白抜き矢印に示すように、アクスルシャフト38a,38b、差動装置37、ギヤ35,36、主軸13、第3切換スリーブ22a、及び減速ギヤ列31を介して発電電動機30を逆駆動して発電し、これにより生じた電力は発電電動機30の電源に戻されて充電される。この状態ではクラッチ11は離脱されているので、エンジン10は逆駆動されることはなくアイドリング状態となっており、変速装置Gの連結状態が第1速〜第4速の何れの場合でも、上述の状態となっている。なお必要ならば自動車がある程度減速されるまでは、クラッチ11を係合させたままとしてエンジンブレーキを併用してもよい。   Next, when the transmission G is in the first speed state shown in FIG. 2 and the throttle opening of the engine 10 is minimized and the clutch 11 is disengaged for braking, the generator motor 30 is controlled by a controller (not shown). It is switched to operate as a generator, and the axle shafts 38a, 38b are driven in reverse from the drive wheels 39a, 39b side. In this braking state, the reverse driving force from the drive wheels 39a, 39b is the axle shafts 38a, 38b, the differential device 37, the gears 35, 36, the main shaft 13, the first shaft 13, as shown by the broken white arrows in FIG. The generator motor 30 is reversely driven through the three-switching sleeve 22a and the reduction gear train 31 to generate power, and the electric power generated thereby is returned to the power source of the generator motor 30 and charged. In this state, since the clutch 11 is disengaged, the engine 10 is not driven in reverse and is in an idling state, and the above-described state is the same regardless of whether the transmission device G is connected to the first speed to the fourth speed. It is in the state of. If necessary, the engine brake may be used in combination with the clutch 11 kept engaged until the vehicle is decelerated to some extent.

次に、変速装置Gが最高速段である第5速状態では、図4に示すように、第3噛合切換機構22の第3切換スリーブ22aはシフト装置Tにより左向きにシフトされて従動側変速ギヤ19bが主軸13に連結されて最高速段である第5速変速ギヤ対19a,19bが選択され、減速ギヤ列31の最後のギヤ31cと主軸13の間の連結は解除され、発電電動機30の作動は停止されている。この最高速段である第5速走行状態では、エンジン10の駆動力は、実線の白抜き矢印に示すように、クラッチ11、入力軸12、第5速変速ギヤ対19a,19b及び第3切換スリーブ22aを介して主軸13に伝達され、さらにギヤ35,36、差動装置37及びアクスルシャフト38a,38bを介して駆動車輪39a,39bに伝達され、駆動車輪39a,39bはエンジン10のみにより駆動される。しかし減速ギヤ列31の最後のギヤ31cと主軸13の間の連結は解除されているので、発電電動機30はエンジン10によりあるいは駆動車輪39a,39bからの逆駆動により回転されることはなく停止されている。このときのエンジン10のスロットル開度は、エンジン10でけでそのときの走行状態に応じた駆動力が得られるような開度にされている。   Next, in the fifth speed state in which the transmission device G is at the highest speed, the third switching sleeve 22a of the third mesh switching mechanism 22 is shifted leftward by the shift device T as shown in FIG. The gear 19b is connected to the main shaft 13 to select the fifth speed transmission gear pair 19a, 19b which is the highest speed stage, the connection between the last gear 31c of the reduction gear train 31 and the main shaft 13 is released, and the generator motor 30 The operation of is stopped. In the fifth speed running state, which is the highest speed stage, the driving force of the engine 10 is the clutch 11, the input shaft 12, the fifth speed transmission gear pair 19a, 19b, and the third switching as shown by the solid white arrows. It is transmitted to the main shaft 13 via the sleeve 22a, and further transmitted to the drive wheels 39a and 39b via the gears 35 and 36, the differential gear 37 and the axle shafts 38a and 38b. The drive wheels 39a and 39b are driven only by the engine 10. Is done. However, since the connection between the last gear 31c of the reduction gear train 31 and the main shaft 13 is released, the generator motor 30 is stopped without being rotated by the engine 10 or by reverse driving from the drive wheels 39a and 39b. ing. The throttle opening degree of the engine 10 at this time is set to such an opening degree that the driving force corresponding to the traveling state at that time can be obtained by the engine 10 alone.

上述した実施形態によれば、使用される期間の長い最高速段においては、発電電動機30は停止されているので、コイルに電流が生じることはなく、また軸受部に摩擦を生じたり、周囲の空気をかき回したりすることもなく、発電電動機30が発熱することはないので、たとえその期間が長くてもそのような熱が蓄積されて高温となることはない。従って発電電動機30を冷却するための水冷装置などの特別な冷却手段は不要となり、空冷で足りるので電動機を備えた変速装置の構造を簡略化させることができる。なお最高速段においては、前述のように、発電電動機30により駆動車輪39a,39bを駆動することは殆ど期待できないので、このようにしても最高速段における駆動車輪39a,39bの駆動力が実質的に減少することはない。   According to the above-described embodiment, since the generator motor 30 is stopped at the highest speed stage in which the period of use is long, no current is generated in the coil, friction is generated in the bearing portion, Since the generator motor 30 does not generate heat without stirring air, even if the period is long, such heat is not accumulated and does not reach a high temperature. Therefore, a special cooling means such as a water cooling device for cooling the generator motor 30 is not necessary, and air cooling is sufficient, so that the structure of the transmission including the motor can be simplified. At the highest speed stage, as described above, it is almost impossible to drive the drive wheels 39a and 39b by the generator motor 30, so that the driving force of the drive wheels 39a and 39b at the highest speed stage is substantially the same. There is no decline.

上述した実施形態では、発電電動機30から駆動車輪39a,39bへの動力伝達は、発電電動機30から主軸13に動力を伝達する減速ギヤ列31と、減速ギヤ列31から駆動車輪39a,39bに動力を伝達する機構に分けて後者はエンジン10から駆動車輪39a,39bに動力を伝達する場合と共用し、減速ギヤ列31の最後のギヤ31cは主軸13に回転自在に設け、この最後のギヤ31cを第3噛合切換機構22により主軸13に係合または離脱するようにしており、このようにすれば発電電動機30と駆動車輪39a,39bとの間の動力伝達の遮断構造が簡略化されるので製造コストを削減することができる。しかしながら本発明はこれに限られるものではなく、発電電動機30から差動装置37のケースに動力を伝達する動力伝達装置を設けてその途中に動力伝達の遮断機構を設けるようにして実施することも可能である。   In the above-described embodiment, the power transmission from the generator motor 30 to the drive wheels 39a and 39b is performed by the reduction gear train 31 that transmits power from the generator motor 30 to the main shaft 13, and the power from the reduction gear train 31 to the drive wheels 39a and 39b. The latter is shared with the case where power is transmitted from the engine 10 to the drive wheels 39a, 39b, and the last gear 31c of the reduction gear train 31 is rotatably provided on the main shaft 13, and this last gear 31c. Is engaged with or disengaged from the main shaft 13 by the third meshing switching mechanism 22, and in this way, the structure for interrupting power transmission between the generator motor 30 and the drive wheels 39a, 39b is simplified. Manufacturing costs can be reduced. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a power transmission device that transmits power from the generator motor 30 to the case of the differential device 37 may be provided, and a power transmission cutoff mechanism may be provided in the middle of the power transmission device. Is possible.

また上述した実施形態では、最高速段である第5速変速ギヤ対19a,19bの従動側変速ギヤ19bは発電電動機30から主軸13に動力を伝達する減速ギヤ列31の最後のギヤ31cに接近して主軸13に回転自在に設け、この両ギヤ19b,31cの間となる主軸13に軸線方向摺動のみ自在に設けた第3切換スリーブ22aによりこの両ギヤ19b,31cを主軸13に選択的に連結するようにしており、このようにすれば第3切換スリーブ22aにより最高速段となる第5速変速ギヤ対19a,19bを選択すれば直ちに発電電動機30と主軸13の間の動力伝達が遮断され、第5速変速ギヤ対19a,19bの選択と発電電動機30と主軸13の間の動力伝達の遮断を連動して行うための特別な機構あるいは電気的手段は不要であるので、電動機を備えた変速装置の構造は一層簡略化され、製造コストをさらに一層削減することができる。   In the embodiment described above, the driven side transmission gear 19b of the fifth speed transmission gear pair 19a, 19b, which is the highest speed stage, approaches the last gear 31c of the reduction gear train 31 that transmits power from the generator motor 30 to the main shaft 13. Then, the gears 19b and 31c are selectively provided to the main shaft 13 by a third switching sleeve 22a that is rotatably provided on the main shaft 13 and is provided on the main shaft 13 between the both gears 19b and 31c. In this way, the power transmission between the generator motor 30 and the main shaft 13 can be immediately performed when the fifth speed change gear pair 19a, 19b, which is the highest speed stage, is selected by the third switching sleeve 22a. There is no need for a special mechanism or electrical means for interlocking the selection of the fifth speed transmission gear pair 19a, 19b and the interruption of power transmission between the generator motor 30 and the main shaft 13 by being cut off. Runode, the structure of the transmission having an electric motor is further simplified, it is possible to further more reduce manufacturing costs.

なお上述した実施形態では、発電電動機30から主軸13に動力を伝達する連動機構31はギヤ31a,31b,31cからなる減速ギヤ列としたが、本発明はこれに限られるものではなく、発電電動機30の回転を主軸13に回転自在に設けた従動スプロケット(最後の回転部材31c)にチェーン・スプロケット機構を介して伝達し、この従動スプロケットと第5速変速ギヤ対の従動側変速ギヤ19bの間に、上述した実施形態における第3噛合切換機構22を設けるようにしてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the interlocking mechanism 31 that transmits power from the generator motor 30 to the main shaft 13 is a reduction gear train including the gears 31a, 31b, and 31c. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the generator motor is not limited thereto. The rotation of 30 is transmitted to a driven sprocket (the last rotating member 31c) rotatably provided on the main shaft 13 via a chain / sprocket mechanism, and between the driven sprocket and the driven side transmission gear 19b of the fifth speed transmission gear pair. In addition, the third meshing switching mechanism 22 in the above-described embodiment may be provided.

また上述した実施形態では、最高速段変速ギヤ対19a,19bが選択された場合のみに発電電動機30と駆動車輪39a,39bの間の動力伝達が遮断されるようにしているが、本発明はこれに限られるものではなく、最高速段変速ギヤ対19a,19bの前段の高速段変速ギヤ対18a,18bが選択された場合にも発電電動機30と駆動車輪39a,39bの間の動力伝達が遮断されるようにしてよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the power transmission between the generator motor 30 and the drive wheels 39a, 39b is cut off only when the highest speed transmission gear pair 19a, 19b is selected. The power transmission between the generator motor 30 and the drive wheels 39a, 39b is not limited to this, and even when the high-speed gear transmission gear pair 18a, 18b preceding the highest-speed gear transmission gear pair 19a, 19b is selected. It may be blocked.

また上述した実施形態では、エンジン10とは別に駆動車輪39a,39bを駆動するのに発電電動機30を使用しており、このようにすれば制動時に自動車の運動エネルギの一部を電力に変換して発電電動機30の電源に回収することができる。しかしながら本発明はこれに限られるものではなく、発電機能を備えていない電動機を使用して実施することも可能であり、それによっても使用される期間の長い最高速段において電動機が発熱することはなくなるので、それを冷却するための水冷装置などを不要として変速装置の構造を簡略化させることができるという効果を得ることができる。   In the embodiment described above, the generator motor 30 is used to drive the drive wheels 39a and 39b separately from the engine 10, and in this way, a part of the kinetic energy of the automobile is converted into electric power during braking. Thus, it can be recovered to the power source of the generator motor 30. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to carry out using an electric motor that does not have a power generation function, and the electric motor generates heat at the highest speed stage with a long period of use. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect that the structure of the transmission can be simplified without the need for a water cooling device for cooling it.
