Abstract

A power transmission system ( 10 ) for a hybrid vehicle, the power transmission system ( 10 ) includes a transmission (TM, 20 ), a clutch ( 18 ), a motor (MG), an engine ( 14 ), a first oil pump ( 44 ), a second oil pump ( 68 ), a first hydraulic circuit in which the first oil pump ( 44 ) is provided, and a second hydraulic circuit in which the second oil pump ( 68 ) is provided. The motor (MG) is connected to a driving wheel ( 26 ) through the transmission (TM, 20 ). The engine ( 14 ) is connected to the motor (MG) through the clutch ( 28 ). The first oil pump ( 44 ) supplies oil to the transmission ( 20 ). The second oil pump ( 68 ) supplies oil to the motor (MG) and the clutch ( 28 ). The second hydraulic circuit is independent from the first hydraulic circuit. Selected drawing.

Claims (15)

1. A power transmission system for a hybrid vehicle, the power transmission system comprising:

a transmission;

a clutch;

a motor connected to a driving wheel through the transmission;

an engine connected to the motor through the clutch;

a first oil pump that supplies oil to the transmission;

a second oil pump that supplies oil to the motor and the clutch;

a first case that houses the first oil pump and the transmission;

a second case that houses the second oil pump, the clutch and the motor;

a first hydraulic circuit in which the first oil pump is provided, the first hydraulic circuit including a first valve body configured to switch an oil passage of the first hydraulic circuit and a first oil pan, the first valve body and the first oil pan being provided in the first case; and

a second hydraulic circuit in which the second oil pump is provided, the second hydraulic circuit being independent from the first hydraulic circuit, the second hydraulic circuit including a second valve body configured to switch an oil passage of the second hydraulic circuit and a second oil pan, the second valve body and the second oil pan being provided in the second case.

2. The power transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the second oil pump is connected to the motor and is driven by the motor.

3. The power transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second oil pump is provided at a position where at least a part of the second oil pump overlaps the motor in an axis direction of the motor.

4. The power transmission system according to claim 1 , further comprising a torque converter provided between the motor and the transmission, wherein the second oil pump is provided at a position where at least a part of the second oil pump overlaps the torque converter in an axis direction of the torque converter.
