PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress production of slip of driving wheels to be driven by the power from an induction motor. SOLUTION: When a vehicle travels on a low μ road surface, the number of primary delay revolutions Ntmp obtained by subjecting the number of revolutions Nm of the induction motor to primary delay processing is calculated (steps S110, S140). When no slip is produced, the number of primary delay revolutions Ntmp is used to subject the induction motor to variable voltage and variable frequency control (steps S150, S160). When slip is produced, the driving frequency Fs of the induction motor is set to a driving frequency Fpre used last time in executing the driving routine, to control the induction motor to be driven at the set driving frequency Fpre (steps S150, S170). Consequently, the slip of the induction motor and output torque are reduced, enabling the production of slip to be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a warmup control device for a hybrid vehicle capable of improving warmup ability during engine cold time and suppressing deterioration in fuel efficiency. SOLUTION: The warmup control device for a hybrid vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine 11, an MMT 12, a motor generator 17 for assisting power generation by engine output or engine output by electric power of a battery 20. The warmup control device is equipped with a warmup determination means for determining the warmup state of the engine 11, and an allocation ratio control means for controlling the allocation ratio of the output of the motor generator 17 and the output of the engine 11 according to a battery charge amount SOC and a driver demand output. The allocation ratio control means is structured to control the allocation ratio so that the output of the motor generator 17 is large and the output of the engine 11 is small until completion of warmup is determined by the engine warmup means.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a regeneration control method for an emission control device in a diesel hybrid vehicle capable of promoting the regeneration of PM of the emission control device by increasing the chance of the regeneration of PM of the emission control device also when an EV is running except when an engine is running. SOLUTION: When the engine is running and EV running conditions are established, low temperature combustion control as the temperature raising control of a PM collecting device is performed (steps S10 affirmation, step S20), and then the engine is stopped and PM is regenerated during the running of an EV (step S30, step S50, step S90). When the overheating of a catalyst must be avoided (step S40 affirmation) or air must be supplied to the catalyst (step S60 affirmation) during the running of the EV, a clutch is engaged to supply air to the PM collecting device to cool the catalyst so as to avoid overheating (step S100), and also oxygen is supplied to the catalyst in the shortage state of oxygen to promote oxidation reaction so as to promote the regeneration of PM (step S70).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To objectively achieve travel stability of a vehicle while no sense of discomfort such as a free running feeling (such feeling as a vehicle advances further against driver's will) is not given to a user, in a vehicle that runs on a road surface of low μ (road surface of relatively low friction factor μ). SOLUTION: The hybrid vehicle is provided with a motor generator, a drive shaft to which the power outputted from it is transmitted, and a battery which can be charged based on a prescribed regenerative control characteristics with the electric energy generated at a drive source by receiving a kinetic energy of the drive shaft when the vehicle slows down. The regenerative control characteristics of the motor generator is changed depending on whether the vehicle is in coasting or not as well as depending on the level of friction factor of the road surface on which the front wheel and the rear wheel connected to the drive shaft contact.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for preventing creep torque from being set low by the stop of an engine in a stop and start control system of an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: This stop and start control system of the internal combustion engine comprises a transmission allowing automatic clutch operation in gear shifting and an automatic stop/start means automatically stopping and starting the internal combustion engine. The control system also comprises a transmission control means for changing the creep torque while performing the clutch operation of the transmission. The transmission control means lowers the creep torque when an engine rotational speed is lowered to a specified rotational speed or lower, and based on the lowered amount of the creep torque, changes the set conditions for the creep torque and does not changes the set conditions when the engine is stopped and started by the automatic stop/start means.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller for a power source for a hybrid vehicle which can bring actual torque close to the feeling of torque production that the driver originally requests. SOLUTION: The assisting torque of a motor which is generated according to the difference between the torque requested by the driver and the real torque of an internal combustion engine decreases because the limitation processing is performed at decision of the driver-requested torque itself, when the torque transmitted to the axle changes suddenly at the speed change of the internal combustion engine or at the start of the vehicle or the like. Here, the motor-assisting torque is increased by relaxing the above limitation, whereby this controller can bring the actual torque close to the torque generation feeling that the driver originally requests.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transmit torque of a rotary device to wheels and control reduction of a speed change response property when performing speed change. SOLUTION: A controller for a power train for vehicles is provided with a power transmitting member, speed change gears mounted on the power transmitting member and capable of relatively rotating together with the power transmitting member, a synchronizing mechanism synchronizing the rotation speed between the speed change gears and the power transmitting member and performing speed change so that the power transmitting member and the speed change gears are connected with each other to rotate together, and a rotation device connected with the speed change gears in a power-transmittable state. In the controller, a synchronization control means (step S1 or step S3) controlling increase of time necessary for synchronization between the speed change gears and a power transmitting shaft during the speed change is arranged by differentiating first output control of the rotation device when performing the speed change and second output control of the rotation device when not performing the speed change.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power transmission of a vehicle capable of suppressing a power supply that supplies electricity to a motor from growing in capacity and in size. SOLUTION: The power of a drive source is transmitted to a wheel through a clutch and a transmission. The torque capacity of the clutch is reduced and the transmission changes speed while the power of a motor is transmitted to the wheel. Here, a power generating means generates electricity with the power of the drive source, and the generated electricity is supplied to an electric circuit connected to the motor. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
