Title:
A control device of a hybrid vehicle, and the control method of a hybrid vehicle
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5939221
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and a rotary electric machine. The internal combustion engine includes a variable valve actuating device configured to change an operation characteristic of an intake valve. The rotary electric machine is configured to generate driving force for propelling the hybrid vehicle. A controller for the hybrid vehicle includes a traveling control unit and a valve actuation control unit. The traveling control unit executes traveling control for causing the hybrid vehicle to travel by using the driving force of the rotary electric machine while stopping the internal combustion engine. The traveling control unit starts up the internal combustion engine while executing the traveling control. The valve actuation control unit controls the variable valve actuating device. The valve actuation control unit, when the internal combustion engine is started up while the traveling control is executed, sets at least one of a valve lift and valve operating angle of the intake valve such that the at least one of the valve lift and valve operating angle of the intake valve when the hybrid vehicle travels at a first vehicle speed is smaller than the corresponding at least one of the valve lift and valve operating angle of the intake valve when the hybrid vehicle travels at a second vehicle speed. The second vehicle speed is lower than the first vehicle speed.
