Abstract

A power transmission device includes: a planetary gear mechanism; a first rotary machine connected to a sun gear of the planetary gear mechanism; an engine and a one-way clutch that are connected to a carrier of the planetary gear mechanism; a second rotary machine and a drive wheel that are connected to a ring gear of the planetary gear mechanism; and a parking device connected to the ring gear. The power transmission device is configured to positively rotate the first rotary machine at a time a command to disengage the parking device is received and thereafter disengage the parking device, and a direction of the positive rotation is a rotational direction of the carrier rotary-driven by the engine.

Claims (12)

1. A power transmission device comprising:

a planetary gear mechanism;

a first rotary machine connected to a sun gear of the planetary gear mechanism;

an engine and a one-way clutch that are connected to a carrier of the planetary gear mechanism;

a second rotary machine and a drive wheel that are connected to a ring gear of the planetary gear mechanism; and

a parking device connected to the ring gear,

wherein the power transmission device is configured to positively rotate the first rotary machine at a time a command to disengage the parking device is received and thereafter disengage the parking device, and

a direction of the positive rotation is a rotational direction of the carrier rotary-driven by the engine.

2. The power transmission device according to claim 1 , configured to positively rotate the first rotary machine and disengage the parking device at a time the command to disengage the parking device is received on a climbing road.

3. The power transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an actuator that disengages the parking device; and

a controller configured to electrically control the actuator, wherein the controller positively rotates the first rotary machine at the time the command to disengage the parking device is received and thereafter disengages the parking device by the actuator.
