Provided is a power drive system for a hybrid power vehicle, including an engine, a hybrid power module, and a dual input shaft speed change mechanism, wherein the hybrid power module consists of a motor, a composite planetary gear mechanism, a clutch, and a brake; the composite planetary gear mechanism is provided with at least four rotating shafts which are respectively connected to a rotor of the motor, a power output shaft of the engine, and a first input shaft and a second input shaft of the dual input shaft speed change mechanism; the brake is disposed on the power output shaft of the engine; and the clutch is disposed between any two of the four rotating shafts of the composite planetary gear mechanism.

A hybrid power transmission mechanism includes an engine; a motor/generator having a rotor and a stator; a driven machine; a planetary gear mechanism having a sun gear, an internal gear drivingly connected to the rotor, a planetary gear, and a planetary carrier shaft including first and second extension shaft parts extending from the planetary gear in opposite directions; a first clutch switchable between a state of allowing transmission of power between the first shaft and the internal gear and a state of not allowing transmission of power therebetween; and a second clutch switchable between a state of allowing rotation of the sun gear and a state of not allowing rotation thereof. A first shaft that outputs power of the engine and a second shaft that inputs power to the driven machine are drivingly connected to the first and second extension shaft parts of the planetary carrier shaft, respectively.

When a speed difference between a maximum rotation speed and an engine rotation speed, that is, an actual rotation speed difference, is equal to or less than a margin rotation speed difference, an engine operating point is changed such that the actual rotation speed difference becomes greater than the margin rotation speed difference. Accordingly, the speed difference between the maximum rotation speed and the engine rotation speed is prevented from becoming equal to or less than the margin rotation speed difference. As a result, since a relatively sufficient margin is secured in the difference between the maximum rotation speed and the engine rotation speed, it is possible to prevent the engine rotation speed from falling into a high-rotation state in which the engine rotation speed exceeds the maximum rotation speed.

A hybrid power system comprises an engine, a hybrid power module, and a dual input shaft speed change mechanism. The hybrid power module comprises a motor, a planetary gear system, and a first clutch. The planetary gear system is provided with at least three rotating shafts, which respectively are: a rotating shaft X1, a rotating shaft X2, and a rotating shaft X3. The first clutch is arranged between any two of the three rotating shafts. A power output shaft of the engine is connected to the rotating shaft X3 or the rotating shaft X1 and to a second input shaft of the dual input shaft speed change mechanism. A rotor of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft X1 or to the rotating shaft X3. The rotating shaft X2 is connected to a first input shaft of the dual input shaft speed change mechanism.

A plug-in hybrid powertrain for automotive vehicle is provided which has an internal combustion engine; an electric machine; multiple planetary gear sets, multiple selectively engageable clutch mechanisms and an output member. Selectively engaging those clutches will achieve multiple operation modes including multiple torque transfer ratio from electric machine to output member; multiple torque transfer ratio from internal combustion engine to output member; electric machine propulsion mode; internal combustion engine propulsion mode; generator assistant vehicle launch modes for forward and reverse in the internal combustion engine vehicle launch operations; motor assistant propulsion when in internal combustion engine vehicle propulsion operations; and engine cranking mode. The plug-in hybrid powertrain achieves more torque transfer ratios and operational mode with given number of planetary gear sets and clutches then any existing system.

A drive system for a vehicle includes a first planetary gear set including a first carrier, a second planetary gear set including a second carrier, and a third planetary gear set including a sun gear, a ring gear, a plurality of planetary gears coupling the sun gear to the ring gear, and a third carrier rotationally supporting the plurality of planetary gears. The third planetary gear set is directly coupled to the first carrier and the second carrier. The drive system further includes a first electromagnetic device coupled to the first planetary gear set, a second electromagnetic device coupled to the second planetary gear set, and an output shaft coupled to the first planetary gear set.

An MG1 torque at a time of decreasing an engine speed of an engine is made larger when a turbocharging pressure by a turbocharger is higher than when the turbocharging pressure is lower. In this way, even if the losses of pumps of the engine differ due to the remaining turbocharging pressure during a transition of stopping the engine in turbocharging, it is possible to appropriately reduce the engine speed. Therefore, when the engine is being brought to a stop, it is possible to appropriately suppress vibration generated in the vehicle.

When an acceleration request is issued, an electronic control unit for a hybrid vehicle performs control for producing an acceleration feeling of setting a target engine rotation speed to an initial rotation speed (=basic initial value+initial value correction value) which is lower than an optimal-fuel-efficiency rotation speed at which required engine power is able to be most efficiently output and increasing the engine rotation speed from the initial rotation speed to the optimal-fuel-efficiency rotation speed at a rotation speed increase rate (=basic increase rate+increase rate correction value) based on the elapse of time. When the target supercharging pressure is high, the initial value correction value is set to a greater value and the increase rate correction value is set to a greater value than when the target supercharging pressure is low.

A drive system for a hybrid motor vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a first electric machine and a second electric machine. A rotor shaft of the first electric machine is rotationally coupled to an output shaft of the internal combustion engine and is arranged coaxially to said output shaft. A rotor shaft of the second electric machine is arranged coaxially to the output shaft and can be uncoupled from the rotor shaft of the first electric machine via a clutch. At least one differential transmission has at least two outputs. The output shaft is connected to the rotor shaft of the first electric machine via a fixed transmission stage, and the rotor shaft of the second electric machine is coupled to an input of the at least one differential transmission via a two-speed transmission device.

A transmission assembly may include a first transmission input shaft and a second transmission input shaft. The first transmission input shaft and the second transmission input shaft are torque-transmittingly coupled to a first planetary transmission. A transmission output shaft of the transmission assembly is also torque-transmittingly coupled to a second planetary transmission. In the power flow, a first spur gear is arranged between the first planetary transmission and the second planetary transmission. In addition, a drive unit for driving a first vehicle axle is proposed, which has a transmission assembly of this type.
