The battery 73 is provided on either side of the transmission case 13, on the side where the first inverter 71 or the second inverter 72 is located. In this embodiment, the same battery 73 is connected to the first motor generator 21 and the second motor generator 22, but it is possible to connect separate batteries to the first motor generator 21 and the second motor generator 22.

[0037] In the low-speed transmission section 23, the power of the input shaft 18 is transmitted to the ring gear 23d to drive the ring gear 23d, the driving force of the first motor generator 21 is transmitted to the sun gear 23a to drive the sun gear 23a, the power from the engine 5 and the driving force from the first motor generator 21 are combined to produce a low-speed combined power, and the low-speed combined power is output from the low-speed output shaft 23g.

[0040] 2, the auxiliary transmission unit 28 includes an input gear 56 provided on the output shaft 53 of the forward / reverse switching unit 27, an output shaft 59 located rearward of the output shaft 53, and a shift gear 60 supported by the output shaft 59. The output shaft 53 is connected to the rear wheel differential mechanism 29.

[0041] In the auxiliary transmission unit 28, the output of the forward / reverse switching unit 27 is transmitted to the input gear 56. When the shift gear 60 is engaged with the side portion of the input gear 56, the power of the input gear 56 is transmitted to the output shaft 59 via the shift gear 60 and output from the output shaft 59, thereby establishing a high-speed transmission state. When the shift gear 60 is engaged with the side portion of the transmission gear 57 supported on the output shaft 59, the power of the input gear 56 is transmitted to the output shaft 59 via the transmission gear 58a, the transmission shaft 58, the transmission gear 58b, the transmission gear 57, and the shift gear 60, thereby establishing a low-speed transmission state.

The increased speed power is power that drives the front wheels 1 at a higher speed than the rear wheels 2. The output shaft 64 of the front wheel transmission unit 30 is connected to a front wheel differential mechanism 66 via a rotating shaft 65.

[0044] In the traveling power transmission device 15, the front wheels 1 and the rear wheels 2 are driven by the power of the engine 5 and the driving force of the first motor generator 21.

[0045] That is, the first motor generator 21 is driven by power supplied from the battery 73 via the first inverter 71. The power from the engine 5 transmitted to the input shaft 18 and the power from the first motor generator 21 are combined into a low-speed combined power by the low-speed transmission unit 23. The power from the engine 5 transmitted to the input shaft 18 and the power from the first motor generator 21 are combined into a high-speed combined power by the high-speed transmission unit 24. When the low-speed clutch 25 is switched on and the high-speed clutch 26 is switched off, the low-speed combined power from the low-speed transmission unit 23 is transmitted to the input shaft 50 of the forward / reverse switching unit 27. When the low-speed clutch 25 is switched off and the high-speed clutch 26 is switched on, the high-speed combined power from the high-speed transmission unit 24 is transmitted to the input shaft 50 of the forward / reverse switching unit 27. When the forward clutch 51 is switched to on and the reverse clutch 52 is switched to off, the low-speed combined power or the high-speed combined power transmitted to the input shaft 50 of the forward / reverse switching unit 27 is converted into forward power in the forward / reverse switching unit 27 and transmitted to the input gear 56 of the subtransmission unit 28. When the forward clutch 51 is switched to off and the reverse clutch 52 is switched to on, the low-speed combined power or the high-speed combined power transmitted to the input shaft 50 of the forward / reverse switching unit 27 is converted into reverse power in the forward / reverse switching unit 27 and transmitted to the input gear 56 of the subtransmission unit 28. When the shift gear 60 of the subtransmission unit 28 is engaged with the side of the input gear 56, the forward power or the reverse power transmitted to the input gear 56 is changed in speed to high-speed power and output from the output shaft 59. When the shift gear 60 of the auxiliary transmission unit 28 engages with the side of the transmission gear 57, the forward power or reverse power transmitted to the input gear 56 is changed in speed to low-speed power and output from the output shaft 59. The high-speed power or low-speed power output from the output shaft 59 is transmitted to the rear wheel differential mechanism 29 and the front wheel transmission unit 30. When the constant-speed clutch 61 in the front wheel transmission unit 30 is switched on, the constant-speed power is transmitted from the front wheel transmission unit 30 to the front wheel differential mechanism 66, and when the speed-increasing clutch 62 is switched on, the increased-speed power is transmitted from the front wheel transmission unit 30 to the front wheel differential mechanism 66.

[0046] In the traveling power transmission device 15, when the front wheels 1 and the rear wheels 2 are driven, the power from the engine 5 transmitted to the input shaft 18 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 22a of the second motor generator 22, driving the second motor generator 22 to generate electricity. The electric power generated by the second motor generator 22 is supplied to the battery 73 via the second inverter 72, and the battery 73 is charged.

[0047] The first motor generator 21 functions primarily as an electric motor to drive the front wheels 1 and rear wheels 2, but also functions as a generator during deceleration. The second motor generator 22 functions primarily as a generator, but can be configured to function as an electric motor to drive the front wheels 1 and rear wheels 2.
