PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a feeling of operation in down-shift regardless of the input restriction of an electricity accumulating device. SOLUTION: When a shift position SP is changed from a D position to an S position, or down-shift is performed at the S position (S160), braking side torque is made to act on a driving shaft by the motoring of an engine by a first motor and a second motor, and request torque Tr* is output within the range of input/output restriction Win and Wout of a battery (S220 to S280), and torque which can not be output from the second motor since it exceeds the input restriction Win of the battery among the request torque Tr* is output to the driving shaft by a hydraulic brake for traveling (S290). Thus, it is possible to output torque Td (T) for down-shift giving a feeling of operation similar to shift feeling in a type of motor vehicle equipped with a stepped automatic shift to a driver (S170 to S210), and to improve the feeling of operation in down-shift regardless of input restriction Win.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress unexpected variations in the torque of a driving shaft, while outputting more appropriate torque from a motor when changing gear change ratio of a transmission and also outputting the torque from the motor which is equipped with the motor which outputs power to a driving shaft via the transmission. SOLUTION: When the transmission is not under gear change, its gear change ratio Gr is calculated assuming that input rotation speed Nm2 is the rotation speed for control Nm2*; and when it is under gear change, its gear change ratio Gr is calculated by assuming that the deviation ΔNm2, corresponding to a time-derivative component of the rotation speed Nm2 multiplied by a gain km and added to the rotation speed Nm2 as the rotation speed for control Nm2* (S130-S160). Torque instructions Tm1* and Tm2* of motors MG1 and MG2 are set by using these so that the engine is operated by an operation point, represented by a target rotation speed Ne* and a target torque Te* and the engine, and the motors MG1 and MG2 are controlled.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform control considering drive requirement of a driver, in a vehicle having a motor that can output power to an axle shaft. SOLUTION: When a torque exceeding a predetermined value is outputted from a motor for a predetermined time while a vehicle is in a stop state while outputting a corresponding torque based on the opening of an accelerator Acc, the torque from the motor 22 is reduced with a torque reduction ratio Rd2 to move the vehicle backward (Steps S300-S410). When the phase where the motor current is concentrated is switched (Step S330), a torque command Tm2* is set so as to increase the torque from the motor MG2 with the torque increase ratio Ri set based on the opening of the accelerator Acc in the stop state and an estimated gradient value θ (Steps S450-S470, S390-S410).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly respond to rapid change of a required driving force during the Lo-Hi shift of a gear stage of a transmission. SOLUTION: When shifting a gear stage of a transmission transferring a torque of a motor MG2 to a driving shaft in the Lo-Hi shift while an accelerator is off or an accelerator pedal is slightly stepped on, an engine is operated at or higher than the shift minimum rotation speed Nchg of a rotation speed higher than an idling rotation speed Nidl (S150, S200). Thereby, the engine may quickly output a large torque from the engine and may quickly output large power by means of a ring gear shaft 32a as the driving shaft. Since the rotation speed Nm1 of a motor MG1 may be decreased, the motor MG1 may reduce the power to charge and discharge a battery. As a result, the charge and discharge due to excess electric power of the battery may be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly respond to rapid change of required driving force during the shift change of a transmission. SOLUTION: When shifting a gear stage of a transmission transferring a torque of a motor MG2 to a driving shaft while an accelerator is off or an accelerator pedal is slightly stepped on, an upper limit rotation speed Nmax is set by using a variation rate Nrt of a value N2 smaller than a value N1 that is a rotation speed in no shifting (S140), a target rotation speed Ne* of an engine is set by using the rotation speed Nmax (S150-S170), and the engines is controlled so as to be operated at the rotation speed Ne*. Thus, when the pedal is stepped on to require a large required torque Tr*, the increase in rotation speed of the engine may be suppressed and reduces the power outputted from the engine to be used for increasing the rotation speed so that larger power may be outputted to the driving shaft.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately change a gear ratio of a transmission. SOLUTION: In the driving device changing the speed by the transmission and transmitting the power from a motor to a driving shaft, when an absolute value of a deviation between reference torque Tm2r0 as driving shaft side torque Tm2r at the time of starting of change of a shift stage of the transmission and driving shaft side torque Tm2r during changing of the shift stage is lower than a threshold α until change of the shift stage is completed (S280), learning of an engagement state of a brake of the transmission and a state of the oil pressure supplied to the brake during changing of the shift stage is done (S290). When changing the shift stage, an actuator of the transmission is drive-controlled using the learned result. Thereby, the deviation of the transmission by secular change is corrected, and the shift stage of the transmission is suitably changed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To lubricate a planetary gear mechanism more appropriately in a power output system, an automobile equipped therewith, a control device for the power output system, and a control method for the power output system. SOLUTION: In the automobile wherein an engine, a motor MG1 and a driveshaft are connected to the planetary gear mechanism and a motor MG2 is connected to the driveshaft via a transmission, if a hydraulic circuit 100 for actuating brakes B1 and B2 of the transmission fails and disables the supply of oil used in actuating the brakes B1 and B2 to the planetary gear mechanism 30 as a lubricant via an oil passage 116, the engine is continuously operated. Out of oil from a mechanical pump 102 having sufficient force feed performance in actuating the brakes B1 and B2 and oil from an electric pump 104 having minimum necessary force feed performance in actuating the brakes B1 and B2, oil not used in actuating the brakes B1 and B2 can be thus supplied to the planetary gear mechanism 30 via the oil passage 116 to lubricate the planetary gear mechanism 30.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle control device, which can provide a sense of large acceleration when a power mode is selected, compared with when a general mode is selected, even if a requested output of an internal combustion engine is the same between the case where the power mode is selected and the case where the general mode is selected.SOLUTION: A vehicle is provided with an MG 1 which changes a change gear ratio in a nonstep manner in transmission of rotational drive force of a crankshaft 16a to a rotational output shaft 6. An HV-ECU 30 executes operation control of the MG 1 when engine speed NE is raised to target engine speed NEtgr with an accelerator opening ACCP being fully opened so that the raising rate of the engine speed NE is large when the power mode is selected, compared with when the general mode is selected.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more surely start an internal combustion engine, and to more surely output a braking force when starting the internal combustion engine while a braking force acts on a vehicle during the stop of the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: When starting an engine while a vehicle is applied with a braking force, in motoring the engine, a start power Pstart equivalent to the sum of a power based on torque to be output from a motor MG1 and a power based on the revolution change of the motor MG1 is added to the input limit Win of a battery so that start-up input limit Wins is set (S110, S120), and braking torque from a motor MG2 exceeding the start-up input limit Wins is replaced with the braking force by a hydraulic brake (S130 to S190), and an engine 22 is motored by the motor MG1 while the replaced hydraulic brake is held, for starting the engine 22 (S200 to S270).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give a satisfactory feeling to a driver, and to suppress the deterioration in a catalyst for purifying the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine when an accelerator is turned off during traveling at a virtual shift position. SOLUTION: When an accelerator is turned off in such a state that a sequential shift position (S position) is selected as a shift position SP, and a catalyst temperature θc is equal to or more than a threshold θref (S160), input restriction Win in normal traveling is set to a target input restriction Win* of a battery until a shift start time t1 passes (S230), and an engine is independently operated (S240), and input restriction Wb for braking whose restriction is more strengthened than the input restriction Win in normal traveling is set to the target input restriction Win* of a battery 50 after the elapse of the shift start time t1 (S170), and fuel injection to the engine is stopped (S180).
