In a technology described in JP-A-2013-96552, the first input member and the second input member are configured to be linked to or separated from each other in accordance with a state of engagement of the first engagement device, but the second input member and the rotor supporting member are linked to each other.

SUMMARY

However, in the technology of JP-A-2013-96552, in a case where the first engagement device is engaged, the first input member and the second input member are linked to each other, and a vehicle is driven by a driving force of the internal combustion engine without using a driving force of the rotary electric machine, the rotating electric machine rotates together with the rotation of the internal combustion engine. As the rotary electric machine is rotated, power loss or friction loss occurs, and there is a concern that fuel efficiency deteriorates. However, when a mechanism, such as the second engagement device which can release a linked state of the second input member which is rotated by the driving force of the internal combustion engine and the rotor supporting member, and can separate the second input member and the rotor supporting member from each other, is provided, the device becomes long in the shaft direction, and there is a concern that the device becomes large.

Here, in the specification, “rotary electric machine” is used as a concept including any of a motor (electric motor), a generator (electric generator), and a motor-generator which achieves functions of both of a motor and a generator as necessary. In addition, in the specification, “overlapping when viewed in the A direction” means that there is an overlapping part when viewed in the A direction.

According to the above-described configuration, by efficiently using a space in a radially inner side than the rotor and the supporting tubular portion, it is possible to dispose the first engagement device and the second engagement device, and to prevent the device from becoming long in the shaft direction. In addition, according to the above-described configuration, it is possible to support the input tubular portion having a tubular shape which configures the second input from the radially inner side by the tubular case boss portion. In addition, it is possible to support the first oil chamber forming member of the first engagement device and the second oil chamber forming member of the second engagement device, by a common input tubular portion. Accordingly, it is possible to dispose each portion of the first engagement device and the second engagement device by efficiently using the space on the radially inner side of the rotor and the supporting tubular portion, and from this viewpoint, it is possible to prevent the device from becoming long in the shaft direction.
