Patent ID: 8647230

Claim:
A moving apparatus that moves by transmitting motive power to driven parts thereof, comprising: a prime mover including an output portion for outputting motive power; an accessory driven by input of motive power to an input portion thereof; a first rotating machine that includes a first rotor and is capable of converting input electric power to motive power to output the motive power from said first rotor, and converting motive power input to said first rotor to electric power; restriction means for restricting rotation of the driven parts; a controller for controlling operations of said first rotating machine and said restriction means; and a power transmission mechanism including a first element, a second element, and a third element that are capable of transmitting motive power therebetween, said first to third elements being configured to rotate during transmission of the motive power while maintaining a collinear relationship in rotational speed therebetween, with straight lines representing respective rotational speeds of said first to third elements being sequentially aligned in a collinear chart representing the collinear relationship in rotational speed, wherein said first element is mechanically connected to said first rotor, one of said second and third elements being mechanically connected to said output portion and said input portion while the other of said second and third elements being mechanically connected to the driven parts, and wherein when said accessory is driven in a state where the driven parts are at rest during stoppage of said prime mover, said controller controls the operations of said first rotating machine and said restriction means such that motive power is input to said input portion and a rotational speed of the driven parts is restricted to approximately 0.
