20130124027 | CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HYBRID VEHICLE - A control apparatus and method for controlling a hybrid vehicle is arranged to prevent shock and to minimize adverse influence on lag and fuel consumption when one of a start/stop control of an engine and a shift control of an automatic transmission is requested while the other control is occurring. The control apparatus includes an engine, a motor/generator, a first clutch, an automatic transmission, an integrated controller, an AT controller and an engine/transmission coordinate controlling section. When a second control request is generated during the first control, the engine/transmission coordinate controlling section starts the second control at a request timing when a condition does not exist such that a shock does not exceed an acceptable level and starts the second control at a later timing when the condition exists such that the shock would exceed the acceptable level if the second control is started at the request timing. | 05-16-2013 |
20130204479 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE - A control device is provided to reduce an engine start shock when there is a request to start the engine in response to the accelerator pedal depression and the slip polarity of the second clutch is negative. The control device for a hybrid vehicle has an engine, a motor/generator, a first clutch, a second clutch, and a mechanism for an engine start permission controlling operation. The first clutch is selectively engaged during engine start in which the motor generator is operated as the starter motor. The second clutch is interposed between the motor/generator and tires, and is slip-engaged when the engine is started. The mechanism for the engine start permission controlling operation delays starting the engine until the slip polarity becomes positive when the engine start request is produced and the slip polarity of the second clutch is negative. | 08-08-2013 |
20130218389 | CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR HYBRID VEHICLE - A control system for a hybrid vehicle includes a mode selection unit for start request of an engine; a slip determination unit for determining whether or not a second clutch is allowed to slip; and a start determination unit for determining whether or not to allow the engine to start. The start determination unit prevents the engine from starting when an input rotation speed or an output rotation speed of an automatic transmission is less than a predetermined value in the presence of the start request of the engine from the mode selection unit and the slip determination unit determines that the second clutch is not allowed to slip. | 08-22-2013 |
20130226384 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE - A start operation is continuously performed until the internal combustion engine starts even when an accelerator pedal opening decreases between initiation and termination of the start operation of the internal combustion engine, and an EV mode is selected again. A motor/generator is controlled such that a torque of the motor/generator exerting to reduce a slippage of the second clutch increases as the accelerator pedal opening decreases during control of the second clutch to start the internal combustion engine, compared to a case where the accelerator pedal opening does not decrease during mode switching. | 08-29-2013 |
20130231815 | HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A hybrid vehicle control device is provided with an engine, a motor and a mode switch section, an automatic transmission and a controller. The controller outputs the gear shift command prior to an engine start command when a simultaneous output prediction condition is met that predicts the output of a gear shift request and a start request at the same time. In this way, the generation of a large shock by the entering of the engine start in the start prohibiting region during the gear shift is prevented. | 09-05-2013 |
20130231816 | VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN VEHICLE - A vehicle control system of the electrically driven vehicle, wherein the engagement element slip process is carried out for the slipping of the transmission engagement element on the basis of the detection by the detecting section; and the control system has a clutch torque control section that is programmed to work as follows: during the engagement element slip process, the target motor/generator torque, which is increased from the drive torque of the motor/generator by a clutch slip accelerating torque portion for accelerating the slipping of the drive transmission engagement element for the drive torque of the motor/generator, is output from the motor/generator. In addition, when the preset slip accelerating torque suppression condition is met, the torque control for decreasing the drive torque of the motor/generator is carried out. | 09-05-2013 |
20140303822 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE - A hybrid vehicle control device includes an engine start control section that begins an engine start control when a mode transition request to change to a hybrid vehicle mode occurs due to an accelerator operation while traveling in an electric vehicle mode in which a first clutch is opened. The engine start control section begins engagement of the first clutch after slip engagement of a second clutch is determined and starting the engine using a motor as a starter motor. A negative slip detecting/predicting section detects/predicts if a slip polarity of the second clutch has transitioned from positive slip to negative slip after the engine start control has begun and before the engine has started. A forced backup start control section starts the engine with the second clutch in a fully engaged state when a transition of the second clutch to negative slip has been detected or predicted. | 10-09-2014 |
