A hybrid vehicle including an engine, a drive motor, a first oil pump, and a second oil pump is configured to, during forward travel, supply components to be cooled or lubricated with oil discharged from a discharge port of the first oil pump and a discharge port of the second oil pump via an oil passage, while the hybrid vehicle is configured to, during reverse travel, compensate for a driving force by supplying oil discharged from the discharge port of the second oil pump to the discharge port of the first oil pump via the oil passage to cause the first oil pump to operate as a hydraulic motor.

The invention relates to a system (1) for lubricating an aeronautical engine (5) and a reduction gearbox (4) associated with the engine (5), the system (1) comprising an oil reservoir (2) feeding at least one first supply pump (3) supplying a first circuit (6) of the gearbox (4) opening into at least one chamber (4a) of the gearbox (4) and, in parallel, a second circuit (7) of the engine (5) opening into chambers (5a) of the engine (5). The second circuit (7) comprises a jet pump (9) of variable cross section supplied at least by the first supply pump (3), bypassing the first circuit (6), a second driven supply pump (10) being integrated into the second circuit (7) downstream of the jet pump (9), a portion of a flow (Qp) in the first circuit (6) being drawn off by the jet pump (9) to supply the second circuit (7).

A turbofan engine includes a first spool including a first turbine, a second spool including a second turbine, and a fan. A fan drive gear system drives the fan. A first tower shaft engages the first spool, and a second tower shaft engages the second spool. A superposition gear system includes intermediate gears engaged to the sun gear and supported in a carrier and a ring gear circumscribing the intermediate gears. The first tower shaft drives the sun gear. A main oil pump is driven by the carrier and supplies oil to the fan drive gear system. An auxiliary oil pump supplies oil to the fan drive gear system and is driven by a ring gear shaft coupled to the ring gear. A shuttle valve selectively allows oil to be supplied to the fan drive gear system by one of the main oil pump and the auxiliary oil pump.

A variable oil pump includes a pump housing, an oil pump rotor accommodated in the pump housing, an adjustment member accommodated in the pump housing and configured to adjust a discharge amount of oil discharged from the oil pump rotor by displacing in a state where the adjustment member holds the oil pump rotor from an outer circumferential side in such a manner that the oil pump rotor is rotatable, and a guide portion including a guide hole provided at the adjustment member and a pin provided at the pump housing and engaging with the guide hole. The guide portion is configured to guide a displacement of the adjustment member relative to the pump housing by allowing the guide hole and the pin to engage with each other. The variable oil pump includes a drain passage configured to drain oil accumulated in the guide hole.

A bowed-rotor prevention system for a turbomachine is disclosed. The system comprises a first turbomachine having a first shaft rotatably supported by a plurality of bearings, a second turbomachine having a second shaft rotatably coupled to the first rotatable shaft, and a pump having a third shaft rotatably coupled to the second shaft. The system further includes a gear box having a fourth shaft rotatably coupled to the third shaft by an clutch configured to operate in a freewheel condition when the first shaft is rotating faster than a first predetermined speed, and further configured to rotatably engage the fourth shaft to the third shaft when the first shaft is rotating slower than a second predetermined speed to thereby drive a rotation of the third shaft, wherein the first predetermined speed is faster than the second predetermined speed.

An object of the present invention is to simplify portions of an oil supply passage which portions are formed at a cylinder block. An oil supply device according to the present invention includes a cylinder block, an oil pan, an oil pump, and an oil filter. Wall portions of the oil pan are coupled to wall portions of the cylinder block. An oil filter is attached to the oil pan. An upstream oil supply passage through which the oil filtrated by the oil filter flows is formed at the oil pan. A downstream oil supply passage including a main gallery extending in a cylinder column direction is formed at the cylinder block. A first communication passage through which the main gallery and the upstream oil supply passage communicate with each other is formed at the wall portion of the cylinder block and the wall portion of the oil pan.

A vehicle engine pump assembly (100, 1000, 1100) has a gerotor pump (102), a mechanical drive (106) driven by the engine and an electrical drive (104). A controller (107) selectively engages the mechanical drive to boost pumping effort when required via a clutch.

A control device for a multi-stage automatic transmission-equipped vehicle includes a hydraulic power controller, a combustion controller configured to, if a predetermined combustion stop condition is satisfied when the vehicle is traveling, perform deceleration-period combustion stop control, and limit combustion restart triggered by a reduction in rotational speed of an internal combustion engine, during execution of the deceleration-period combustion stop control, and a motoring controller configured to control the rotational drive of the internal combustion engine by a motor during execution of the deceleration-period combustion stop control so that the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine is maintained at a predetermined rotational speed during a period of time from the time that the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine decreases to the predetermined rotational speed until downshifting to a predetermined gear ratio is completed.

A vehicle cooling system comprises an oil circulation circuit in which a cooling oil is circulated by an electric oil pump to cool a predetermined cooling target with the cooling oil; an oil temperature sensor detecting an oil temperature that is a temperature of the cooling oil; and a control device including a cooling control portion outputting a rotation command for operating the electric oil pump so as to cool the cooling target. The control device includes a pump abnormality determination portion outputting the rotation command to the electric oil pump to determine a presence/absence of abnormality based on a rotation state of the electric oil pump when an operation stop time of the vehicle is longer than a predefined determination permission time and an oil temperature detection value detected by the oil temperature sensor is higher than a predefined determination permission temperature.
