Description

  The present invention relates to a hybrid system, a hybrid vehicle, and a method for starting an internal combustion engine of the hybrid system, and more particularly, when the voltage of a high-voltage battery connected to a motor generator decreases when the internal combustion engine is started. The present invention relates to a hybrid system, a hybrid vehicle, and a method for starting an internal combustion engine of a hybrid system that can activate a high voltage battery early while shortening the start time of the internal combustion engine.

  In a hybrid system using a high-voltage battery, the voltage is remarkably reduced under a low temperature environment such as −10 degrees or less, and it is difficult to start the engine using the motor generator of the hybrid system.

  On the other hand, the conventional method of cranking the engine with a low-voltage battery and starter motor to start the engine also reduces the electrical performance of the low-voltage battery, increases engine friction, and the intake air temperature and the engine itself are cold. There is a problem of deterioration of startability due to a decrease in compression temperature due to the above.

  Therefore, when at least one of the engine temperature, the engine room temperature, the vehicle exterior temperature, the engine coolant temperature, and the intake chamber temperature is equal to or lower than a preset low temperature threshold value, it is determined that the engine is cold starting. Has proposed a device that outputs a drive command to the starter motor and the first power converter, operates the starter motor and the motor generator, and starts the engine with both torques (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .

  However, for example, when the high voltage battery is a lithium ion battery, the voltage drop of the high voltage battery occurs when the temperature of the lithium ion battery is 5 degrees or less. Therefore, when only the temperature in a low temperature environment of -10 degrees or less is used as a parameter as in the above device, the engine is operated by the torque of both the starter motor and the motor generator in the environment of -10 degrees or more and 5 degrees or less. It cannot be started. Therefore, the engine is started in a state where the temperature of the high voltage battery is equal to or lower than the temperature at which the voltage of the high voltage battery is lowered, and the startability of the engine is deteriorated.

  In particular, when the starter motor is connected to the crankshaft via a pinion and a ring gear, it is necessary to drive the motor generator after the pinion is completely engaged with the ring gear.

Thereby, since a high voltage battery can be activated early, the charging / discharging efficiency of a high voltage battery can be improved immediately after the start of the internal combustion engine.

  Secondly, the starter motor is driven by driving the motor generator after the start of the starter motor is started, i.e., after the starter motor pinion and ring gear are securely connected. Noise and breakage caused by insufficient connection between the crankshaft and the crankshaft can be avoided.

  In the hybrid system, the voltage drop acquisition unit includes a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the high-voltage battery, and the temperature of the high-voltage battery detected by the temperature sensor is equal to the voltage of the high-voltage battery. It is desirable that the control device is configured to crank the internal combustion engine by driving both the starter motor and the motor generator when the temperature is equal to or lower than a voltage lowering temperature lower than a reference voltage. According to this configuration, when the voltage of the high voltage battery drops at a temperature other than a low temperature environment of −10 degrees or less, for example, higher than −10 degrees and a temperature of 5 degrees or less, the high voltage battery is activated early. be able to.

  In addition, in the above hybrid system, the rotation start acquisition unit includes a crank angle sensor, and the control device receives a rotation pulse signal output from the crank angle sensor by cranking the starter motor. As a cue, it is preferably configured to drive the motor generator.

  On the other hand, in the above hybrid system, the rotation start acquisition unit is configured to measure the drive time of the starter motor, and the control device determines in advance the drive time of the starter motor measured by the rotation start acquisition unit. It is preferable that the motor generator is configured to be driven with a signal indicating that the elapsed time has elapsed.

  According to these configurations, it is possible to avoid an incomplete connection between the pinion of the starter motor and the ring gear, and to drive the motor generator at an early stage. Thereby, a high voltage battery can be activated early, shortening the starting time of an internal combustion engine.

  And the hybrid vehicle of this invention for solving said subject is mounted and comprised.

In the starting method of the internal combustion engine of the hybrid system connected to the crankshaft, when the voltage of the high voltage battery is not lower than a predetermined reference voltage when starting the internal combustion engine, the motor generator is When the internal combustion engine is cranked by driving and the voltage of the high voltage battery is lower than the reference voltage, the starter motor pinio Wherein the crankshaft was bitten directly coupled ring gear, the pinion as a cue that has started the rotation of the crankshaft in a state where the meshed with the ring gear, by driving the motor generator, and The internal combustion engine is cranked by driving both the starter motor and the motor generator.

  According to the hybrid system, the hybrid vehicle, and the internal combustion engine start method of the present invention, when the voltage of the high voltage battery decreases due to low temperature, the starter motor and the motor generator connected to the low voltage battery The internal combustion engine is cranked by driving both of them, and the temperature of the battery cell can be increased by discharging the high voltage battery connected to the motor generator while shortening the start time of the internal combustion engine. .

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a hybrid system, a hybrid vehicle, and an internal combustion engine starting method of the hybrid system of the present invention will be described.

As shown in the example of FIG. 1, the hybrid system 2 of this embodiment includes an internal combustion engine (hereinafter referred to as an engine) 10, a motor generator 20, and a starter motor 21. In addition, the hybrid system 2 is connected to the crankshaft 11 of the engine 10 upstream of the clutch (power connection / disconnection device) 31 of the power transmission system 30 in which the motor generator 20 and the starter motor 21 transmit power from the engine 10. It is connected. Here, although this hybrid system 2 is described as being mounted on a hybrid vehicle (HEV: hereinafter referred to as a vehicle) 1, it is not necessarily limited to that mounted on the vehicle.

  The motor generator 20 is formed of an induction motor or a synchronous motor, and is connected to a high voltage battery 23 (nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery) 23 via an inverter 22. The motor generator 20 is connected to the crankshaft 11 via the power transmission mechanism 12. The power transmission mechanism 12 includes a first pulley 13 directly connected to the crankshaft 11, a second pulley 14 directly connected to a drive shaft of the motor generator 20, an endless loop wound around the first pulley 13 and the second pulley 14. A belt or chain (power transmission member) 15 is formed.

  As in this embodiment, the engine 10 is preferably configured such that the transmission 32 is connected to one of the crankshafts 11 and the power transmission mechanism 12 is connected to the other of the crankshafts 11. According to this configuration, it is possible to easily provide a motor generator for a combination (powertrain) of an existing engine and transmission that does not consider a hybrid system, and a powertrain that can be equipped with a hybrid system. It is easy to expand the kind of.

  In addition, the motor generator 20 generates power by receiving the driving force of the engine 10 as a generator, or generates regenerative power by generating regenerative power such as braking force of the vehicle 1. At this time, power is transmitted from the crankshaft 11 to the motor generator 20 through the first pulley 13, the power transmission member 15, and the second pulley 14 in this order by the power transmission mechanism 12. On the other hand, it drives as a motor and transmits the driving force to the crankshaft 11 of the engine 10 to assist the driving force of the engine 10. At this time, power is transmitted from the motor generator 20 to the crankshaft 11 via the second pulley 14, the power transmission member 15, and the first pulley 13 by the power transmission mechanism 12. The electric power obtained by power generation is converted by the inverter 22 via the wiring and charged to the high voltage battery 23. Further, when driving the motor generator 20, the electric power charged in the high voltage battery 23 is converted by the inverter 22 and supplied to the motor generator 20.

  The starter motor 21 is formed of a direct-current-winding motor that generates the largest torque at the start and decreases as the rotational speed increases. The starter motor 21 is coupled to the crankshaft 11 via the coupling mechanism 16 when the engine 10 is started. The coupling mechanism 16 has a ring gear 17 disposed on the outer periphery of a flywheel directly connected to the crankshaft 11 and a pinion 18 directly connected to the drive shaft of the starter motor 21.

  Further, in the starter motor 21, power from the starter motor 21 is transmitted to the crankshaft 11 when the pinion 18 slides in the rotation axis direction and engages with the ring gear 17. The starter motor 21 is driven by a carry-out current from a connected low voltage battery (lead storage battery) 24.

  The low voltage battery 24 is connected to the high voltage battery 23 via the DC-DC converter 25. The low voltage battery 24 is connected to an electric drive auxiliary machine such as a cooling water pump 26A and a hydraulic pump 26B. The low voltage battery 24 is charged with the high voltage power of the high voltage battery 23 such as 24V or 48V, for example, by the DC-DC converter 25 being dropped to 12V.

In the power transmission system 30, the power of the engine 10 is transmitted to the transmission 32 via the clutch 31, and further transmitted from the transmission 32 to the operating device 34 via the propulsion shaft 33.
4 is transmitted to the drive wheel 36 via the drive shaft 35. Thereby, the power of the engine 10 is transmitted to the drive wheels 36, and the vehicle 1 travels.

  On the other hand, regarding the power of the motor generator 20, the power charged in the high voltage battery 23 is supplied to the motor generator 20 via the inverter 22, and the motor generator 20 is driven by this power to generate power. The power of the motor generator 20 is transmitted to the crankshaft 11 through the power transmission mechanism 12, transmitted through the power transmission path of the engine 10, and transmitted to the drive wheels 36. Thereby, the power of the motor generator 20 is transmitted to the drive wheels 36 together with the power of the engine 10, and the vehicle 1 travels. During regeneration, the regenerative power of the drive wheels 36 or the regenerative power of the engine 10 is transmitted to the motor generator 20 through the reverse path, and the motor generator 20 can generate power.

  And this hybrid system 2 is provided with the control apparatus 40 as an apparatus which controls said structure. The control device 40 monitors the operating state such as the rotational speed and load of the engine 10, the operating state such as the rotational speed of the motor generator 20, and the state of charge (SOC) of the high-voltage battery 23 and the low-voltage battery 24. However, the power transmission mechanism 12, the motor generator 20, the inverter 22, the DC-DC converter 25, and the like are controlled. In addition, the control device 40 controls in-cylinder combustion, a turbocharger, an exhaust gas purification device, auxiliary equipment, and the like in the control of the engine 10.

  The control device 40 also includes a temperature sensor 41 that detects the temperature t1 of the high-voltage battery 23 as a voltage drop acquisition unit, and a crank angle sensor 42 that converts the rotation of the crankshaft 11 into a rotation pulse signal as a rotation start acquisition unit. Is provided. The crank angle sensor 42 is a device that is attached to face a projection (not shown) of the pulsar rotor 43 that is directly connected to the crankshaft 11, and that transmits a rotation pulse signal to the control device 40 for each projection of the pulsar rotor 43.

  Next, a method for starting the engine 10 of the hybrid system 2 will be described. Note that when the engine 10 is started, the transmission of power between the engine 10 and the motor generator 20 is disconnected by the clutch 31 or the transmission 32, and the engine 10 is started and then connected.

  When a start signal of the engine 10 is output by an ignition key (not shown) and the control device 40 receives the start signal, a mode for cranking the engine 10 is selected as shown in FIG. First, step S10 in which the temperature sensor 41 detects the temperature t1 of the high voltage battery 23 is performed.

  Next, when the temperature t1 detected by the temperature sensor 41 is output and the control device 40 receives the temperature t1, step S20 is performed to determine whether the temperature t1 is equal to or lower than the voltage drop temperature t1 '. In step S20, it is acquired that the voltage of the high voltage battery 23 has decreased below a predetermined reference voltage. When the temperature t1 is higher than the voltage drop temperature t1 ′, the voltage of the high voltage battery 23 is not lower than the reference voltage. On the other hand, when the temperature t1 is equal to or lower than the voltage drop temperature t1 ′, This is a state where the voltage of the high voltage battery 23 is lower than the reference voltage.

  This voltage drop temperature t1 'is set to a temperature value at which the voltage of the high voltage battery 23 falls below a predetermined reference voltage. In the high voltage battery 23, the internal resistance of the cell rises and the voltage drop increases due to the movement of internal ions becoming difficult at low temperatures, and the voltage drops when the temperature drops.

  Accordingly, the voltage drop temperature t1 'is set to a temperature equal to or lower than the temperature at which the voltage of the high voltage battery 23 is lower than the reference voltage, for example, with a temperature of 25 degrees as a reference voltage. When a lithium ion battery is used as the high voltage battery 23, the temperature is set to 5 degrees or less.

  Next, when the temperature t1 is equal to or lower than the voltage drop temperature t1 ′ in step S20, step S30 for selecting a combined mode in which the motor generator 20 and the starter motor 21 are used together to crank the engine 10 is performed to perform the cranking mode. End selection.

  On the other hand, if the temperature t1 is higher than the voltage drop temperature t1 ′ in step S20, step S40 for selecting the normal mode in which the engine 10 is cranked only by the motor generator 20 is performed to finish the selection of the cranking mode. .

  When the mode for cranking the engine 10 is selected as described above, cranking of the engine 10 is started. In the normal mode, first, a start signal for the motor generator 20 is output to the inverter 22. Then, a current is supplied from the high voltage battery 23 to the motor generator 20 via the inverter 22 to drive the motor generator 20 and crank the engine 10. Next, when the engine 10 is started by combustion of the injected fuel, the clutch 31 connects the power transmission of the power transmission system 30 to start running, and the engine 10 starting method is completed.

  On the other hand, in the combined mode, as shown in FIG. 3, first, current is supplied from the low voltage battery 24 to the starter motor 21, and the pinion 18 directly connected to the drive shaft of the starter motor 21 slides to cause the ring gear 17. Bite into. Thereby, step S110 which connects the starter motor 21 to the crankshaft 11 is performed. Next, a large current is supplied from the low voltage battery 24 to the starter motor 21, and step S120 for driving the starter motor 21 is performed. At this time, power is transmitted from the starter motor 21 to the crankshaft 11 via the pinion 18 and the ring gear 17 to rotate the crankshaft 11.

  Next, the crank angle sensor 42 detects the protrusion of the pulsar rotor 43 that rotates as the crankshaft 11 rotates, and the crank angle sensor 42 outputs a rotation pulse signal (step S130). At this time, the rotation pulse signal output from the crank angle sensor 42 is a rotation pulse signal output by cranking of the starter motor 21 when the engine 10 is started. For example, when the protrusions of the pulsar rotor 43 are arranged at an angle of 6 degrees, the rotation pulse signal is output when the crankshaft 11 is displaced at an angle of at most 6 degrees. The

  Next, the control device 40 performs step S140 for receiving the rotation pulse signal. At this time, the rotation pulse signal is output by cranking of the starter motor 21, that is, whether or not the rotation pulse signal is output when the pinion 18 is engaged with the ring gear 17 and the ring gear 17 is rotated by the pinion 18. It is good to judge. For example, the rotation pulse signal received first may be output due to movement when the pinion 18 bites into the ring gear 17. Therefore, whether or not the rotation pulse signal is output by cranking of the starter motor 21 depends on whether the rotation pulse signal is continuously received or the second rotation pulse signal is output excluding the first wave. It is preferred that

  Next, the control device 40 outputs a start signal for the motor generator 20 to the inverter 22 with a signal that the rotation pulse signal output from the crank angle sensor 42 has been received. Then, a current is supplied from the high voltage battery 23 to the motor generator 20 via the inverter 22, and step S150 for driving the motor generator 20 is performed. Next, the engine 10 is cranked by both the starter motor 21 and the motor generator 20. Next, when the engine 10 is started by combustion of the injected fuel, the clutch 31 connects the power transmission of the power transmission system 30 to start running, and the engine 10 starting method is completed.

  When the engine 10 is cranked by both the starter motor 21 and the motor generator 20, for example, when the temperature t1 of the high voltage battery 23 is -10 degrees or less, the start torque intervention by the motor generator 20 is not performed. It is preferable to increase the degree, that is, to maximize the output of the motor generator 20. On the other hand, when the temperature t1 of the high voltage battery 23 is higher than −10 degrees and lower than 5 degrees, the degree of start torque intervention by the motor generator 20 is small, that is, the output of the motor generator 20 is changed from −10 degrees to 5 degrees. It is preferable to make it gradually smaller toward the degree. When the temperature t1 is higher than −10 degrees and 5 degrees or less, the starting torque of the starter motor 21 is sufficiently large. The motor generator 20 at this time only needs to be driven to the extent that the high voltage battery 23 is activated. .

  According to the hybrid system 2, the vehicle 1, and the engine starting method of the hybrid system of this embodiment, when the voltage of the high-voltage battery 23 is lower than the reference voltage, the starter motor 21 and the motor generator 20 The engine 10 is cranked by driving both. Thereby, while shortening the starting time of the engine 10, the high voltage battery 23 connected to the motor generator 20 can be discharged to increase the temperature of the battery cell. Therefore, since the high voltage battery 23 can be activated at an early stage, the charge / discharge efficiency of the high voltage battery 23 can be improved immediately after the engine 10 is started.

  The starter motor 21 is driven to start the rotation of the crankshaft 11, that is, the motor generator 20 is driven after the starter motor 21 and the crankshaft 11 are securely connected. Abnormal noise and damage that occur when the motor 21 and the crankshaft 11 are not sufficiently connected can be avoided.

  In addition, the hybrid system 2, the vehicle 1, and the hybrid system engine starting method are also advantageous for starting the engine 10 in a cryogenic environment of -10 degrees or less. At an extremely low temperature, in addition to the voltage of the high voltage battery 23 decreasing, the discharge capacity of the low voltage battery 24 connected to the starter motor 21 is decreased, and the output for cranking the engine 10 is reduced. In addition, engine friction has also increased due to the increased viscosity of engine oil and the like. In this regard, by cranking the engine 10 by both the starter motor 21 and the motor generator 20 as described above, the start-up time can be shortened, and the high-voltage battery 23 can be activated early. .

  In addition, said embodiment is an example and is not limited to a diesel engine. For example, the present invention can be applied to a gasoline engine, and the number and arrangement of cylinders are not limited. Further, the parallel type hybrid vehicle that generates the driving force by combining the engine and the driving motor has been described as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to a series type hybrid vehicle.

  In the above embodiment, the power transmission mechanism 12 having an endless belt or chain that connects the motor generator 20 to the crankshaft 11 has been described as an example. For example, by changing the width of each pulley, Using a continuously variable transmission power transmission mechanism configured to change the position where the pulley and the power transmission member are in contact with each other so that the diameter of the position where the power transmission member contacts becomes smaller on the inside and vice versa. May be. In this case, the rotation speed of the rotation shaft of the motor generator 20 is controlled to a rotation speed suitable for the power generation or driving of the motor generator 20 without depending on the fluctuation of the rotation speed of the crankshaft 11 of the engine 10. Can do.

In addition to the above embodiment, a clutch may be provided between the crankshaft 11 and the motor generator 20. When the motor generator 20 is generated by the power of the crankshaft 11 of the engine 10 or when the driving force of the engine 10 is assisted by the driving force of the motor generator 20, the clutch is engaged and the crankshaft 11 Power is transmitted between the motor generators 20. On the other hand, when power generation by the motor generator 20 is unnecessary, the clutch is disengaged and the power transmission between the engine 10 and the motor generator 20 is cut off. As a result, it is possible to avoid the friction on the motor generator 20 side from being applied to the crankshaft 11 of the engine 10, so that fuel efficiency can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the start of the crankshaft 11 by the starter motor 21 is acquired by the crank angle sensor 42 as the rotation start acquisition unit has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the rotation start acquisition means is configured to measure the drive time of the starter motor 21 and counts the drive time t2 of the starter motor 21 as shown in FIG. 4 instead of steps S130, S140, and S150 of FIG. The step S160 may be configured to perform the step S170 and the step S170 of driving the motor generator 20 after the driving time t2 elapses a predetermined time t2 ′.
