Abstract

A hybrid system includes an engine, a speed change device, a differential device, a rotary machine, a first engagement device, a case, and a cover wall. The first engagement device is configured to shift the speed change device, and be actuated by hydraulic pressure. The first engagement device includes a first oil chamber. The rotary machine is arranged between the first engagement device and the engine. The case houses the rotary machine, the speed change device, the differential device, and the first engagement device, and is connected to the engine and has an opening on the engine side. The cover wall covers the opening, and operating oil is supplied to the first oil chamber via the cover wall.

Claims (25)

1. A hybrid system comprising:

an engine;

a rotary machine;

a speed change device that has an input shaft, the input shaft being connected to a rotating shaft of the engine;

a differential device that has a plurality of differential rotating elements capable of differential rotation, the plurality of differential rotating elements including a first differential rotating element to which an output shaft of the speed change device is connected, and a second differential rotating element to which a rotating shaft of the rotary machine is connected;

a first engagement device configured to shift the speed change device, the first engagement device being configured to be actuated by hydraulic pressure, the first engagement device including a first oil chamber, the rotary machine being arranged between the first engagement device and the engine;

a case within which the rotary machine, the speed change device, the differential device, and the first engagement device are housed, the case being connected to the engine, and the case having an opening on the engine side; and

a cover wall that covers the opening, operating oil being supplied to the first oil chamber via the cover wall.

2. The hybrid system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first oil passage arranged inside the cover wall; and
