Abstract
Description
ENG走行モードは、エンジン3のみを動力源として用いる走行モードである。ENG走行モードでは、エンジン3の燃料噴射量、燃料噴射時期および点火時期を制御することによって、エンジン3の動力(以下「エンジン動力」という)が制御される。また、エンジン動力は、第1または第2変速機構11、31により変速され、駆動輪DWに伝達される。
EV走行モードは、モータ4のみを動力源として用いる走行モードである。EV走行モードでは、バッテリ51からモータ4に供給される電力を制御することによって、モータ4の動力(以下「モータ動力」という)が制御される。また、モータ動力が、第1変速機構11により1速段、3速段、5速段および7速段のうちの1つで変速され、駆動輪DWに伝達される。この場合、これらのいずれの変速段においても、第1および第2クラッチC1、C2を解放状態に制御することによって、クランク軸3aに対する第1および第2入力軸13、32の係合を解除する。これにより、モータ4および駆動輪DWとエンジン3との間が遮断されるので、モータ動力がエンジン3に無駄に伝達されることがない。また、第5シンクロクラッチSC5の制御によって、リバース軸42に対するリバースギヤ43の係合を解除する。
アシスト走行モードは、エンジン3をモータ4でアシストする走行モードである。アシスト走行モードでは、基本的に、エンジン3の良好な燃費が得られるように、エンジン3のトルク(以下「エンジントルク」という)を制御する。また、運転者から駆動輪DWに要求されるトルク(以下「要求トルク」という)TRQに対するエンジントルクの不足分が、モータ4のトルク(以下「モータトルク」という)によって補われる。要求トルクTRQは、検出されたアクセル開度APに応じて算出される。
充電走行モードは、エンジン動力の一部をモータ4で電力に変換し、発電を行うとともに、発電した電力をバッテリ52に充電する走行モードである。充電走行モードでは、基本的に、エンジン3の良好な燃費が得られるように、エンジントルクを制御する。また、要求トルクTRQに対するエンジントルクの余剰分を用いて、モータ4で発電が行われ、発電した電力がバッテリ52に充電される(回生)。
減速回生モードは、ハイブリッド車両Vが減速走行中であると判定されているときに、駆動輪DWの動力を用いてモータ4で発電を行うとともに、発電した電力をバッテリ52に充電する走行モードである。以下、モータ4で発電した電力をバッテリ52に充電することを適宜、「回生」という。なお、ハイブリッド車両Vが減速走行中であるか否かは、アクセル開度APに基づいて判定される。
ENG始動モードは、エンジン3を始動するための運転モードである。ENG始動モードにおいて、ハイブリッド車両Vの停止中にエンジン3を始動する場合には、第1クラッチC1を締結状態に制御することによって、第1入力軸13をクランク軸3aに係合させるとともに、第2クラッチC2を解放状態に制御することによって、クランク軸3aへの第2入力軸32の係合を解除する。また、第1変速機構11の変速段をすべて解除(ニュートラル)するとともに、バッテリ52からモータ4に電力を供給し、モータ動力を発生させる。
