Patent ID: 8857188

Claim:
A hybrid drive device for a vehicle, comprising: an electric motor; an internal combustion engine output shaft; an automatic transmission including: an input portion, and an output portion, the automatic transmission outputting rotation of the input portion to the output portion wherein a speed of rotation changes between the input portion and the output portion; a lubricating oil passage; a first lubricating oil passage configured to guide lubricating oil to the automatic transmission to lubricate the automatic transmission; a second lubricating oil passage configured to guide lubricating oil to the electric motor to lubricate the electric motor; a lubricating oil pressure is supplied to the lubricating oil passage; and a switching valve that is switched between: a first state, in which the lubricating oil passage communicates with the first lubricating oil passage that guides lubricating oil in the lubricating oil passage to the automatic transmission, and a second state, in which the lubricating oil passage communicates with the second lubricating oil passage that guides the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil passage to the electric motor, wherein: the electric motor and the internal combustion engine output shaft are operable in conjunction with the input portion, and the switching valve is switched from the first state to the second state in the case where the vehicle is in a stationary state or running at a speed of a predetermined value or less including the stationary state of the vehicle.
