以下では、上記第1の実施形態に係る係合装置100を備えた、第1の実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1000について、図5から図9を参照して説明する。図5及び図6に示すように、車両用駆動装置1000は、ステータST及びロータRTを備えた回転電機MGと、ロータRTと一体的に回転する入力軸ISと、車輪W(図6参照)に駆動連結される出力ギヤOGと、当該出力ギヤOGに連動して回転するように連結された駆動ギヤDGと、遊星歯車機構PL及び上記の係合装置100を備えた変速機TMと、を備えている。本実施形態では、車両用駆動装置1000は、それぞれが互いに異なる車輪Wと一体的に回転する一対の出力部材OMと、出力ギヤOGの回転を一対の出力部材OMに分配する差動歯車機構DFと、を更に備えている。
また、本構成によれば、駆動ギヤDGと出力ギヤOGとの軸間距離(第1軸X1と第4軸X4との径方向Rの距離)を小さく抑え易い。したがって、車両用駆動装置1000の径方向Rの寸法を小さく抑え易い。
以下では、第2の実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1000について、図8及び図9を参照して説明する。本実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1000は、出力ギヤOGが、駆動ギヤDGに直接噛み合わず、駆動ギヤDGに噛み合うアイドラギヤIGに噛み合っている点で、上記第1の実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1000とは異なっている。以下では、上記第1の実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1000との相違点を中心として説明する。なお、特に説明しない点については、上記第1の実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1000と同様とする。
ロータRTを備えた回転電機MGと、
ロータRTと一体的に回転する入力軸ISと、
車輪Wに駆動連結される出力ギヤOGと、
遊星歯車機構PL及び係合装置100を備えた変速機TMと、を備えた車両用駆動装置1000であって、
遊星歯車機構PLは、第1回転要素E1、第2回転要素E2、及び第3回転要素E3を備え、第1回転要素E1、第2回転要素E2、及び第3回転要素E3の回転速度の順が記載の順となるように構成され、

入力軸ISは、駆動ギヤDGを軸方向Lに貫通して、ロータRTと第1回転要素E1とを一体的に回転するように連結し、
出力ギヤOGは、駆動ギヤDGよりも大径であり、
駆動ギヤDGと出力ギヤOGとが噛み合い、又は、駆動ギヤDGに噛み合うアイドラギヤIGと出力ギヤOGとが噛み合っている。
また、本構成によれば、ロータRTと変速機TMと駆動ギヤDGとが同軸上に配置され、軸方向LにおけるロータRTと変速機TMとの間に駆動ギヤDGが配置されている。これにより、駆動ギヤDGが径方向Rに沿う径方向視でロータRT及び変速機TMの少なくとも一方と重複するように配置された構成と比べて、車両用駆動装置1000の径方向Rの寸法を小さく抑えることができる。更に、駆動ギヤDGと出力ギヤOGとの径方向Rの寸法差を大きくして、駆動ギヤDGと出力ギヤOGとの間の減速比を大きく確保し易い。その結果、回転電機MGの小型化を図り易い。
以上のように、本構成によれば、遊星歯車機構PL及び係合装置100を有する変速機TMを備えた構成において、小型で簡素な構成の車両用駆動装置1000を実現できる。
車輪Wと一体的に回転する出力部材OMを更に備え、

それぞれが互いに異なる車輪Wと一体的に回転する一対の出力部材OMと、
第2サンギヤS2、第2キャリヤC2、及び第2リングギヤR2を備え、出力ギヤOGの回転を一対の出力部材OMに分配する、遊星歯車式の差動歯車機構DFと、を更に備え、
出力ギヤOGは、リングギヤよりも径方向Rの外側であって、径方向Rに沿う径方向視でリングギヤと重複する位置に配置されている。
また、本構成によれば、出力ギヤOGが第2リングギヤR2よりも径方向Rの外側に配置されている。これにより、出力ギヤOGの大径化を図り、駆動ギヤDGと出力ギヤOGとの間の減速比を大きく確保し易い。その結果、回転電機MGの小型化を図り易い。
また、本構成によれば、出力ギヤOGが径方向Rに沿う径方向視で第2リングギヤR2と重複するように配置されている。これにより、出力ギヤOGが第2リングギヤR2に対して軸方向Lにずれて配置された構成と比べて、車両用駆動装置1000の軸方向Lの寸法を小さく抑えることができる。
以下では、上記第2の実施形態に係る係合装置100を備えた、第3の実施形態に係る車両用駆動装置1000について、図10から図12を参照して説明する。図10及び図11に示すように、車両用駆動装置1000は、ステータST及びロータRTを備えた回転電機MGと、ロータRTの回転が伝達される入力部材IMと、車輪W(図11参照)と一体的に回転する出力部材OMと、入力部材IMの回転を減速して出力部材OMに伝達する減速機RDと、入力部材IMと非回転部材NRとを選択的に係合するブレーキ機構2と、を備えている。本実施形態では、車両用駆動装置1000は、ロータRTと入力部材IMとを選択的に係合するクラッチ機構1と、ブレーキ機構2及びクラッチ機構1の双方の係合の状態を変化させる駆動機構7と、非回転部材NRとしてのケース9と、を更に備えている。なお、本実施形態では、車両用駆動装置1000は、インホイールモータと称される、車輪Wの駆動装置として構成されている。
本構成によれば、ロータRTと入力部材IMとを選択的に係合するクラッチ機構1が設けられている。これにより、駆動力の伝達経路に過大なトルクが作用した場合に、クラッチ機構1がスリップすることで、ロータRTと入力部材IMとの間で伝達される駆動力が過大になることを回避できる。したがって、駆動力の伝達経路上に配置された部材の小型化を図ることができる。
また、本構成によれば、クラッチ機構1を解放状態とすることで、ロータRTを入力部材IM(延いては車輪W)から切り離すことができる。これにより、車両が慣性で走行している間や他の駆動源の駆動力により走行している間等に、回転電機MGを停止させることができる。したがって、車両用駆動装置1000のエネルギ効率を高めることができる。
ブレーキ機構2とクラッチ機構1とが軸方向Lに並んで配置され、
駆動機構7は、ブレーキ機構2を係合状態とすると共にクラッチ機構1を解放状態とする第1状態と、ブレーキ機構2を解放状態とすると共にクラッチ機構1を係合状態とする第2状態と、に状態変化するように構成されている。

ロータRTの回転が伝達される入力部材IMと、
車輪Wと一体的に回転する出力部材OMと、
入力部材IMの回転を減速して出力部材OMに伝達する減速機RDと、
入力部材IMと非回転部材NRとを選択的に係合するブレーキ機構2と、を備えた車両用駆動装置1000であって、
ブレーキ機構2は、ロータRTに対して径方向Rの内側であって、径方向Rに沿う径方向視でロータRTと重複する位置に配置され、
ロータRT、入力部材IM、及びブレーキ機構2が、出力部材OMと同軸上に配置されている。
また、本構成によれば、ロータRT、入力部材IM、及びブレーキ機構2が、車輪Wと一体的に回転する出力部材OMと同軸上に配置されている。これにより、例えばインホイールモータのような車輪Wの駆動装置に適した構成を実現できる。
(1)上記の実施形態に係る係合装置100では、直動機構33が第2連結部8bに対して軸方向第2側L2に配置された構成を例として説明した。しかし、そのような構成に限定されることなく、例えば、直動機構33が第2連結部8bと径方向Rに沿う径方向視で重複するように配置されていても良い。

前記直動機構(33)によって前記被駆動部(32)が前記軸方向第1側(L1)に移動するか前記軸方向第2側(L2)に移動するに応じて、前記クラッチ機構(1)と前記ブレーキ機構(2)とが選択的に係合される。
前記第2回転部材(82)は、前記第2摩擦係合要素(12)が連結された第2連結部(8b)を備え、

前記第1連結部(8a)は、前記第1摩擦係合要素(11)に対して径方向(R)の外側であって、前記径方向(R)に沿う径方向視で前記第1摩擦係合要素(11)と重複する位置に配置され、
前記第3連結部(8c)は、前記第3摩擦係合要素(21)に対して前記径方向(R)の外側であって、前記径方向視で前記第3摩擦係合要素(21)と重複する位置に配置され、

前記第1押圧部分(311)と前記第2押圧部分(312)とは、相対回転可能な状態で、前記軸方向(L)に連動するように構成され、
前記被駆動部(32)は、前記第2押圧部分(312)と一体的に前記軸方向(L)に移動するように連結されていると好適である。
前記ナット部材(332)は、前記被駆動部(32)と一体的に前記軸方向(L)に移動するように連結され、
前記ねじ軸(331)は、前記第1摩擦係合要素(11)、前記第2摩擦係合要素(12)、前記第3摩擦係合要素(21)、及び前記第4摩擦係合要素(22)に対して、同軸上であって径方向(R)の内側に配置されていると好適である。

係合装置(100)は、前記ねじ軸(331)を回転駆動するための駆動源(4)と、前記駆動源(4)と前記ねじ軸(331)との間の動力伝達を行う伝達機構(5)と、を更に備え、
