Title:
CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HYBRID VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015077849
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable reduction in vibration and noise generated in association with engagement of a clutch and improvement in the fuel economy of a vehicle while realizing seamless switching of drive force in a control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle performing drive-force switching control for drive force of the vehicle between the drive force of a motor and that of an internal combustion engine (an engine).SOLUTION: When performing drive-force switching control, before starting an engine (1), a rotation speed of an output shaft (1a) of the engine (1) is controlled by drive force of a travelling motor (4) at a rotation speed having a highest efficiency of the engine (1) in response to a requirement output of a driver of the vehicle; a clutch (3) is engaged when a difference between an input-side rotation speed of the clutch (3) and an output-side rotation speed thereof is reduced to or less than a given speed; and thereafter when starting the engine (1), an output of the travelling motor (2) or that of a generating-starting motor (4) is reduced synchronously with explosion timing of the engine (1).
