Patent ID: 7000718

Claim:
A power output apparatus, that outputs power to a drive shaft, said power output apparatus comprising: an internal combustion engine; a drive shaft motor that is capable of inputting and outputting power to and from said drive shaft; a three-shaft-type power input output mechanism connecting with an output shaft of said internal combustion engine, said drive shaft, and a rotating shaft, where settings of power input and output to and from any two shafts among said three shafts automatically specify a setting of power input and output to and from a residual shaft among said three shafts; a rotating shaft motor that is capable of inputting and outputting power to and from said rotating shaft; a battery that transmits electric power to and from said drive shaft motor and said rotating shaft motor; a lubricating oil feed pump that is linked to said output shaft of said internal combustion engine via a damper and is driven by power of said output shaft of said internal combustion engine to feed a supply of lubricating oil to at least a portion of mechanical part of said power output apparatus; and a controller that, when a starter switch for starting said power output apparatus is an ON operation and a, predetermined condition for temperature status in said power output apparatus is fulfilled in an operation stop state of said internal combustion engine, controls actuation of said rotating shaft motor to drive said lubricating oil feed pump with the power output to said output shaft of said internal combustion engine via said three-shaft-type power input output mechanism.
