Patent ID: 6958549

Claim:
A hybrid type driving apparatus, the hybrid type driving apparatus including a generator that is driven by an engine, a battery that is electrically charged by the generator, a motor for motive-power use, wherein the generator can operate as a starter motor for starting the engine, comprising: a regulator that regulates the output electric power of the generator to appropriately fit for charging the battery; a driving circuit that drives the motor for motive-power use and the generator as the starter motor by an output of the battery, a switching means that only when starting the engine connects the output of the driving circuit to the generator to operate it as the starter motor; wherein the switching means is configured so as to disconnect the generator from the driving circuit then connects the generator to the battery via the regulator after start up of the engine, and connects the battery to the motor for motive-power use via the driving circuit that is disconnected from the generator, while the generator that is disconnected from the driving circuit is connected with the battery via the regulator.
