- This is a broad concept including a state in which the required heat quantity deviates.
- the term “coincidence between the input heat amount and the required heat amount” means that the input heat amount and the required heat amount are different to the extent that it may be determined that the input heat amount and the required heat amount are substantially the same. It is a broad purpose including the state of being.
- the “input heat amount” is the amount of heat input to the heater core through the cooling water passing through the heater core (in other words, the amount of heat recovered by the heater core through the cooling water passing through the heater core). In consideration of the fact that the amount of heat input to the heater core is directly used in applications such as heating, it can be said that the input heat amount is the same as the amount of heat output from the heater core in applications such as heating.
- the “required heat amount” is, for example, the amount of heat required by the heater core to achieve desired heating or the like (that is, the amount of heat that should be input to the heater core or recovered by the heater core). If the input heat quantity and the required heat quantity match, the desired intended heating or the like is realized. On the other hand, when the input heat amount is less than the required heat amount, the originally intended heating or the like is not realized.

- the amount of heat can be matched to the required amount of heat. In particular, for example, if the target heat amount line defines a target value that gradually increases toward the required heat amount, the first control means can more appropriately suppress the adjustment amount of the output of the internal combustion engine, while making the input heat amount more suitable.
- the cooling water control apparatus of the present invention is practical in that it has such an effect. It can be said that it is very useful.

- the first control means can cause the input heat amount to follow the target heat amount line and finally match the input heat amount with the required heat amount at a desired time point while suppressing the adjustment amount of the engine output. Therefore, the various effects described above are favorably enjoyed.

- the first control means fixes the adjustment amount of the output of the internal combustion engine. That is, when adjusting the output of the internal combustion engine, the adjustment amount of the output of the internal combustion engine does not fluctuate. For this reason, compared with the case where the adjustment amount of the output of an internal combustion engine fluctuates, the discomfort given to the passenger is reduced or eliminated.
- the first control means adjusts the flow rate of the cooling water flowing through the first passage, as will be described later, in order to make the input heat amount follow the target heat amount line. May be.
- the second control means is used by circulating cooling water in the second passage as will be described later. Also good.
- the cooling device when the input heat amount cannot follow the target heat amount line even after adjusting the output of the internal combustion engine, the cooling device is arranged so that the first control means circulates the cooling water in the first passage.
- the second control means controls the cooling device to circulate cooling water in the second passage.
- cooling water having a relatively high water temperature is supplied to the heater core via the second passage. That is, the heater core has not only the amount of heat recovered by the cooling water passing through the exhaust heat recovery device (that is, the cooling water circulating through the first passage) but also the cooling water passing through the internal combustion engine (that is, the second passage).
- the amount of heat recovered by the circulating cooling water is also input. Therefore, even if the input heat quantity cannot be made to follow the target heat quantity line even if the output of the internal combustion engine is adjusted, the input heat quantity can be made to follow the target heat quantity line.
- the first control means can further increase the output of the internal combustion engine to cause the input heat quantity to follow the target heat quantity line.
- the output of the internal combustion engine is further increased, there is a risk that the sense of discomfort given to the passenger will increase. Therefore, in this aspect, it is possible to suppress the passenger's uncomfortable feeling caused by further fluctuations in the output of the internal combustion engine rather than suppressing deterioration of fuel consumption caused by the circulation of the cooling water in the second passage.

- the second control means can cause the input heat amount to follow the target heat amount line by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the second passage. This is because, as the flow rate of the cooling water circulating through the second passage increases, the amount of heat input to the heater core through the cooling water circulating through the second passage increases.
- the amount of input heat is made to follow the target heat amount line by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the second passage. Therefore, it is possible to make the input heat amount follow the target heat amount line while suppressing the uncomfortable feeling given to the passenger.

- the input heat quantity cannot be made to follow the target heat quantity line by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage in the stopped state
- the cooling water is supplied to the first passage.
- Circulate And, (i-2) to stop the circulation of the coolant in the second passage, (ii) as the heat input amount to follow the target heat amount line adjusts the output of the internal combustion engine.
- the control means adjusts the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage instead of adjusting the output of the internal combustion engine. Adjustment of the flow rate of the cooling water circulating through the first passage leads to adjustment of the flow rate of the cooling water passing through the exhaust heat recovery device. The adjustment of the flow rate of the cooling water passing through the exhaust heat recovery device leads to the adjustment of the amount of heat transmitted to the cooling water by the exhaust heat recovery device. Adjustment of the amount of heat transferred to the cooling water by the exhaust heat recovery device leads to adjustment of the input heat amount input to the heater core. Therefore, the first control means can cause the input heat amount to follow the target heat amount line by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage.
- the first control means In addition to or instead of adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage, the output of the internal combustion engine is adjusted. As a result, as described above, the first control unit can cause the input heat amount to follow the target heat amount line.
- the first control means preferably operates when the internal combustion engine is warmed up.
- the operation of the first control means when the input heat amount can be made to follow the target heat amount line by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage while the circulation of the cooling water in the second passage is stopped, the operation of the first control means Thus, the cooling water circulates through the first passage and the cooling water stays in the second passage. Therefore, compared with the aspect in which the cooling water circulates through the second passage, heating of the cooling water staying in the second passage passing through the internal combustion engine is promoted (in other words, cooling of the cooling water is suppressed). As a result, warm-up of the internal combustion engine is promoted. Therefore, deterioration of fuel consumption is suitably suppressed. In addition, in this case, since the output of the internal combustion engine does not have to be adjusted, there is little or no discomfort to the passenger.
- the operation of the first control means Even when the input heat quantity cannot follow the target heat quantity line by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water that circulates in the first path while the circulation of the cooling water in the second path is stopped, the operation of the first control means Thus, the cooling water circulates through the first passage and the cooling water stays in the second passage. For this reason, warm-up of the internal combustion engine is promoted. Therefore, deterioration of fuel consumption is suitably suppressed.

- the input heat amount cannot be made to follow the required heat amount by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage while the circulation of the cooling water in the passage is stopped, and the output of the internal combustion engine If the input heat quantity falls below the target heat quantity line even if the adjustment is performed, (i) the cooling water is circulated through the first passage and (ii) the cooling water is circulated through the second passage.
- the input heat amount can be made to follow the target heat amount line by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage while the circulation of the cooling water in the second passage is stopped. If the input heat quantity falls below the target heat quantity line even if the output of the internal combustion engine is adjusted, the first control means controls the cooling device so that the cooling water is circulated through the first passage. The second control means controls the cooling device so as to circulate the cooling water in the second passage. At this time, the second control means may adjust the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the second passage so that the input heat amount follows the target heat amount line. Accordingly, the input heat amount follows the target heat amount line by both the heat amount of the cooling water circulating through the first passage and the heat amount of the cooling water circulating through the second passage.
- the second control means does not reduce the flow rate of the cooling water circulating through the first passage as compared with the flow rate of the cooling water circulating through the first passage when the input heat amount does not fall below the target heat amount line (for example, The flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the second passage may be adjusted while maintaining the maximum flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage).
- the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the second passage may be adjusted while maintaining the maximum flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage.
- an increase in the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the second passage can be minimized as compared with the cooling water control device of the comparative example in which the flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the first passage decreases. Therefore, the flow rate of the cooling water passing through the internal combustion engine is relatively difficult to increase as compared with the cooling water control device of the comparative example.
- the amount of heat generated in the internal combustion engine is relatively less likely to be taken away by the cooling water. For this reason, compared with the cooling water control apparatus of the comparative example, warming up of the internal combustion engine is facilitated. Therefore, deterioration of fuel consumption is suitably suppressed.
- the second control means operates when the internal combustion engine is warmed up.

- the main purpose is to suppress the deterioration of fuel consumption as much as possible, and the cooling water circulation to the main passage that passes through the engine 20 is suppressed as much as possible, and the main that passes through the engine 20 is also suppressed. Even in a situation where it is necessary to circulate the cooling water to the passage, the flow rate of the cooling water in the main passage can be suppressed as much as possible. Therefore, deterioration of fuel consumption is suitably suppressed.
- the second operation for adjusting the output of the engine 20 is given priority over the third operation for allowing the coolant to pass through the engine 20 as well. Preferably it is done.
- the adjustment of the output of the engine 20 may give the passenger a sense of incongruity (that is, deterioration in riding comfort). Therefore, when the main purpose is to alleviate the uncomfortable feeling given to the occupant, the adjustment amount of the output of the engine 20 in the second operation is minimized, and the cooling water is also passed through the engine 20.
- the third operation may be performed positively. As a result, the uncomfortable feeling given to the passenger can be alleviated or eliminated.
- the engine 20 is used to quickly match the heater core input heat amount with the heater core required heat amount.
- the output adjustment amount (for example, the adjustment amount per unit time) may be relatively large. As a result, the passenger may feel a sense of incongruity due to the amount of adjustment of the output of the engine 20.
- the heat input to the heater core is adjusted by adjusting the output of the internal combustion engine or the like based on the target heat amount line that also defines an intermediate target value until the final target value is reached. .
- the amount of heat input to the heater core can be gradually increased while suppressing the adjustment amount of the output of the engine 20.
- the heater core input heat amount can be made to follow the target heat amount line, and the heater core input heat amount can be matched with the heater core required heat amount at the start of air blowing. Therefore, since the adjustment amount of the output of the engine 20 is suppressed, the uncomfortable feeling given to the passenger can be alleviated or eliminated.
- the third operation of opening the flow rate adjustment valve 13 that is, causing the cooling water to flow into the engine 20 in order to quickly match the heater core input heat amount with the heater core required heat amount.
- the necessity to perform the operation will increase. This is because, as shown in FIG. 6A, the amount of heat input from the cooling water passing through the engine 20 to the heater core is larger than the amount of heat input from the cooling water passing through the exhaust heat recovery unit 11 to the heater core. Therefore, the use of the cooling water passing through the engine 20 can quickly match the heater core input heat amount with the heater core required heat amount.
- the amount of heat input to the heater core can be positively adjusted at a time before the blow start time when the use of the amount of heat input to the heater core is actually started.
- the air blow start time when the air blow start time is reached, a state in which the heater core input heat amount and the heater core required heat amount coincide with each other is suitably realized. Therefore, at the same time as the start of air blowing, the use of heating or the like with the intensity originally intended by the passenger is started. If the adjustment of the heater core input heat amount is started for the first time after the air blowing start time, the heater core input heat amount may be lower than the heater required heat amount at the time when the air blowing start time is reached.
- the amount of adjustment of the output of the engine 20 tends to be relatively large in order to quickly match the heater core input heat amount with the heater core required heat amount.
- the necessity of performing the third operation for allowing the coolant to pass through the engine 20 may also increase.
- the amount of heat input to the heater core is positively adjusted before the air blow start time, the air blow start time is reached even if the adjustment amount of the output of the engine 20 is relatively small.
- the heater core input heat amount can be adjusted so that the heater core input heat amount and the heater core required heat amount coincide with each other.
- the heater core input heat amount and the heater core required heat amount coincide with each other when the air blowing start time is reached.
- the amount of input heat can be adjusted. Accordingly, if the amount of heat input to the heater core is positively adjusted before the start of air blowing, the uncomfortable feeling given to the occupant is alleviated or eliminated, and the deterioration of fuel consumption due to the inflow of cooling water to the engine 20 is also appropriate. To be suppressed.
- the hybrid vehicle 1 is described as a split hybrid vehicle in which the engine 20 and the motor generators MG1 and MG2 are connected via a power split mechanism.
- the cooling device may be controlled in the above-described manner.
- the cooling device may be controlled in the above-described manner even in a vehicle that does not travel using the driving force of the motor generator (that is, only travels using the driving force of the engine 20). In any case, the various effects described above are enjoyed accordingly.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist or concept of the invention that can be read from the claims and the entire specification, and cooling water control with such a change is possible.
- the apparatus is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

本発明の冷却水制御装置の他の態様では、前記第1制御手段は、前記内燃機関の回転数を維持したまま前記内燃機関のトルクを調整することで、前記内燃機関の出力を調整する。
