| 20090256513 | Power output apparatus, vehicle equipped with power output apparatus, and control method of power output apparatus - A hybrid electronic control unit sends a combustion start command to an engine ECU when the rotation speed of an engine reaches a combustion start rotation speed by engine cranking. The engine ECU sends an initial explosion advance notification to the hybrid electronic control unit when the crank position of the engine reaches a specific position prior to an ignition timing of an initial explosion cylinder by a preset crank angle θec. Ignition of the initial explosion cylinder is performed at a timing when the crank position is further rotated by the preset crank angle θec. The hybrid electronic control unit sends a torque command in view of a counter torque Tα to a motor ECU after elapse of a preset time period tv. The preset time period tv is the sum of a first time period t | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090259391 | Hybrid vehicle and control method of hybrid vehicle - When a start command of an engine is given in the presence of the driver's power demand, the start control sets the ignition timing of the engine to a power demand ignition timing, in order to enable quick output of a large power from the engine in response to the driver's power demand. When the start command of the engine is given in the absence of the driver's power demand in a vehicle drive state, there is little possibility of the occurrence of gear chattering noise because of application of a torque to a driveshaft. The start control accordingly sets the ignition timing of the engine to a vibration control ignition timing, in order to reduce the vibration of the vehicle body. When the start command of the engine is given in the absence of the driver's power demand in a vehicle stop state, on the other hand, application of a small torque may cause the occurrence of chattering noise. The start control accordingly sets the ignition timing of the engine to a chattering control ignition timing, in order to generate a certain level of torque that prevents repeated contact and separation of gears in a gear mechanism even in the event of an engine-induced torque variation. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100094526 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE - On incompletion of port learning, an auto stop-permitting water temperature is set to a temperature which is higher than a temperature set on completion of the port learning and is higher than a port injection temperature as an upper limit temperature that enables an engine to be driven in a port injection drive mode. This arrangement increases the opportunity of continuing the operation of the engine with fuel injection from a port fuel injection valve without an auto stop, thus increasing the opportunity of the port learning. | 04-15-2010 |
