    摘要: In a control system for a hybrid drive unit, in accordance with applied/released states of engagement elements, there can be set: a forward running range for a forward run by transmitting an input torque to an output member, a backward running range for a backward run by transmitting an input torque to the output member, and a stop range capable of driving one of the power sources by the other. The control system includes a range switching valve activated in response to the individual set ranges for switching and outputting an initial pressure for applying the engagement elements, to a plurality of passages, and adapted, when the stop range is set, to output the hydraulic pressure to the engagement element for establishing a torque transmission passage from one of the power sources to the other and to block the feed of the initial pressure to the engagement element for establishing, when applied, the torque at the output member.

    摘要: A drive control system for a hybrid vehicle in which an internal combustion engine is selectively coupled through a clutch mechanism to a power transmission line coupled to an electric motor. The drive control system comprises: motoring device for coupling the engine to the power transmission line to rotate the engine, with the feed of a fuel to the engine being stopped when the hybrid vehicle is driven to run by the output of the electric motor, by controlling the clutch mechanism in an applied state. Thus, it is possible to start the engine even at a low speed of the hybrid vehicle and to prevent the deterioration in the riding comfort, as might otherwise be caused by the fluctuation in a driving torque.

    摘要: A lubricating apparatus, for a friction engagement element that engages a rotatable member with a case includes a hub connected to the rotatable member, friction members disposed between the hub and the case, a hydraulic servo for engaging the friction members, and an oil passage for supplying lubricant from the case to the friction members. A discharge opening of the oil passage is formed at a position which is radially inward of the friction members and which is axially to a side of the friction members. The discharge opening is directed toward the friction members. A weir member for restricting escape of lubricant in the axial direction through a gap between the hub and the friction members is provided at the other axial side of the friction members. Therefore, the axial escape of lubricant exiting the friction members can be prevented by a non-contact leakage restriction that does not cause drag resistance. The radially outward stream of oil between the friction members is secured, and the friction members can be reliably cooled to remove heat generated by slip control of the friction engagement element.
