HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

In a hybrid vehicle, an electronic control unit is configured to: control an engine such that the engine is started and a self-sustained operation is performed in a case where i) torque for forward traveling is output from a second motor, ii) sliding down of the vehicle is tentatively detected before the sliding down is detected, and iii) permissible charge electric power is equal to or smaller than first prescribed electric power and rotation of the engine is in a stopped state; and execute drive control such that fuel injection is stopped and the engine is driven by a first motor at a rotational speed larger than that before the sliding down is detected in a case where i) the sliding down is detected thereafter and ii) the permissible charge electric power is equal to or smaller than second prescribed electric power.

主权项

1. A hybrid vehicle comprising:
an engine; a first motor; a planetary gear in which three rotational elements are connected to a rotational shaft of the first motor, an output shaft of the engine, and a drive shaft connected to an axle such that the rotational shaft, the output shaft, and the drive shaft are arranged in a stated order in a collinear diagram; a second motor connected to the drive shaft; a battery that exchanges electric power with the first motor and the second motor; and an electronic control unit configured to: control at least the second motor such that the hybrid vehicle travels in a state where charge electric power of the battery is within a range defined by permissible charge electric power and discharge electric power of the battery is in a range defined by permissible discharge electric power; control the engine such that the engine is started and a self-sustained operation of the engine is performed in a case where i) torque for forward traveling is output from the second motor, ii) sliding down of the hybrid vehicle is tentatively detected before the sliding down is detected, and iii) the permissible charge electric power is equal to or smaller than first prescribed electric power and rotation of the engine is in a stopped state; execute drive control that controls the engine such that fuel injection of the engine is stopped and controls the first motor such that the engine is driven by the first motor at a rotational speed larger than a rotational speed before the sliding down is detected in a case where i) the sliding down is detected after the self-sustained operation of the engine is started and ii) the permissible charge electric power is equal to or smaller than second prescribed electric power that is equal to or smaller than the first prescribed electric power; and continue the self-sustained operation of the engine in a case where the sliding down is not detected or the permissible charge electric power is larger than the second prescribed electric power after the self-sustained operation of the engine is started.
