Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change a gear shift step of a transmission suppressing variable speed shock, even when the gear shift step of the transmission cannot be changed, by performing synchronization of rotation speed of a motor by output limitation of a capacitor device. SOLUTION: When carrying out down shifting of the gear shift step of the transmission in the midst of carrying out motoring of the engine by a motor MG 1 by input limitation Win of a battery during accelerator-off, when an excess power ΔP calculated by output limitation Wout of the battery becomes less than a threshold Pref that is the power required for control of revolution speed synchronization, and when a value 1 is set to a flag F, increase adjustment is performed to make a value obtained by adding increase power ΔW to the output limitation Wout become a new output limitation Wout (S130). In the range of increase adjusted output limitation Wout, down shifting of the gear shift step of the transmission is carried out by synchronizing the revolution speed of the motor MG2 to the target revolution speed Nm2* after gear change (S180-S210), while continuing a motoring status of the engine by the motor MG 1.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform motoring of an internal combustion engine at stable rotation speed, irrespective of the fuel cut. SOLUTION: When performing motoring of the engine, motoring of the engine is performed by setting a motor torque instruction Tm1* using values k11 and k21 (S140) in supplying fuel as gains k1 and k2 of a feedback term along with setting feedforward term FF using a map (S130) for fuel supply, when not performing fuel cut, and by setting the motor torque instruction Tm1* using values k12 and k22 (S160) when fuel cut as gains k1 and k2 of a feedback term along with setting the feedforward term FF using a map (S150) for fuel cut when performing fuel cut. As a result, motoring of the engine can be performed at stable rotation speed, irrespective of fuel cut. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To exhibit performance of a battery to improve performance of a vehicle. SOLUTION: In the vehicle, a power generator, an engine, and a driving axle are connected to a sun gear of a planetary gear mechanism, a carrier, and a ring gear, and an electric motor is connected to the driving axle. The vehicle has a battery exchanging power with the power generator and the electronic motor. In the vehicle, when stopping the engine or staring the engine by the power generator, input limit Win of the battery is changed by an excess tolerance Wset (S360-S420). It is controlled such that a required torque is output to the driving axle by a torque input/output from the electric motor and a torque applied to the driving axle from the power generator through the sun gear including a torque based on a change of a rotation speed of an inertial system including the power generator within a range of the input limit Win. Thereby, the engine can be started or stopped by the power generator, and the required torque can be satisfied. As a result, the performance of the battery is exhibited to improve the performance of the vehicle. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve fuel economy of a vehicle and to secure a chance to learn an idle controlled variable as a controlled variable during idling of an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: The engine is controlled by setting a predetermined number of revolutions N3 smaller than a predetermined number of revolutions N2 during a travel at a low vehicle speed as a lower-limit number of revolutions Nemin during stop (S410), and setting the lower-limit number of revolutions Nemin as a target number of revolutions Ne* and setting a value 0 as target torque Te* (S500) when idling is requested (S490). Consequently, the fuel economy of the vehicle can be made better during idling of the engine during stop than idling of the engine at the lower-limit number of revolutions Nemin which is set as the predetermined engine number N2 irrelevantly to whether the engine is at stop.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a shock that can occur when demanded drive force required for a drive shaft in an accelerator-off state varies from a positive value to a negative value. SOLUTION: When an output limit Wout of a battery is smaller than a threshold Wref while an accelerator is off in a state in which an engine is operated, torque T* for working that is actual torque to be output to a drive shaft is gradually reduced (S220), while the engine is operated self-sustaindedly until the torque T* becomes within a range of the vicinity of zero (S160), and the engine is brought into fuel cut and engine speed is suddenly reduced when the torque T* reaches the range of the vicinity of zero (S180, S190), and a part of the variation of power due to the fuel cut is compensated by using inertia power caused by the sudden reduction in the engine speed. Thereby, the shock occurs when the torque output to the drive shaft from the positive value to the negative value may be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly change a speed change shift of a transmission, and to restrain excessive rotation of an electric motor in a system having the electric motor for outputting power to a drive shaft via the transmission. SOLUTION: When a request for Hi-Lo speed change is made (S230 and S240), speed change processing for changing speed change shifts of the transmission 60 (S260) is carried out after confirming that the request for Hi-Lo speed change continues for a designated period (S250). Thus, it is avoided that the shift of the transmission 60 is changed by executing the Hi-Lo speed change though an actual speed V is greater than a Hi-Lo speed change line Vlo. Therefore, excessive rotation of the electric motor MG2 caused by executing the Hi-Lo speed change of the transmission 60 though the actual speed V is greater is suppressed, and the speed change shift of the Hi-Lo speed change for the transmission 60 can be executed more suitably.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the deterioration of a driving force when changing the rotational frequency of an internal combustion engine while a vehicle is traveling by a driving force based on a request driving force. SOLUTION: When changing the rotational frequency of an engine by a motor MG1 according to down shift by an operator while a vehicle is traveling by a driving force based on a request torque Tr* (S140), the expanded correction of the input/output limitation of a battery 50 is performed until the change of the rotational frequency of the engine is completed (S230), or until a predetermined time t passes after down-shift (S240), and the torque limitation of a motor MG2 is calculated by using the corrected input/output limitation (S170), and a torque command Tm2* of the motor MG2 is limited with the calculated torque limitation (S180).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly perform downshift by securing electric power required for synchronization of rotation speed of a second motor when the downshift of a transmission is required during motoring an engine with a first motor, in a vehicle where the first motor, the engine, and a driving shaft are connected to the sun gear of a planet gear, a carrier, and a ring gear, respectively, and the second motor is connected to the driving shaft via the transmission. SOLUTION: When the downshift is required during motoring the engine with the first motor, the engine is shifted from the motoring state to an autonomous operation state (S410) when consumable electric power Pm2* of the second motor obtained by subtracting power consumption Pm1 of the first motor and auxiliary machine electric power Pa from output limit Wout of a battery for exchanging electric power with two motors is less than a threshold α and electric power obtained by subtracting the auxiliary machine electric power Pa from the output limit Wout is the threshold α or more (S340 and S370). In this state, positive torque is outputted from the second motor, and the downshift is performed synchronously with the rotation speed (S440). COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
