HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a first MG (motor generator), a second MG, a battery electrically connected to the first MG and the second MG, an engine ECU configured to control the engine, and a hybrid ECU (Electronic Control Unit) configured to control the first MG and the second MG and communicate with the engine ECU. When an abnormality of communication with the engine ECU is not found and a history of an abnormality of the engine main body is not found and electric power generated by the first MG during cranking of the engine is lower than electric power receivable by the battery during MD (Motor Drive) running (fail-safe running) in which the engine is stopped, the hybrid ECU achieves recovery to normal running in which actuation of the engine is permitted, with cranking of the engine by power generation torque of the first MG.

主权项

1. A hybrid vehicle, comprising:
an engine; a first rotating electric machine; a second rotating electric machine connected to a driving wheel; a planetary gear mechanism configured to mechanically connect the engine, the first rotating electric machine and the second rotating electric machine such that an absolute value of a rotation speed of the first rotating electric machine decreases with a decrease in an absolute value of a rotation speed of the second rotating electric machine during a stop of the engine; a battery electrically connected to the first rotating electric machine and the second rotating electric machine; an engine control unit configured to control the engine; and a hybrid control unit configured to control the first rotating electric machine and the second rotating electric machine, and output an engine command to the engine control unit by communication with the engine control unit, when at least one of an abnormality of communication with the engine control unit and an abnormality of the engine occurs during a first mode in which actuation of the engine is permitted, the hybrid control unit being configured to switch a control mode from the first mode to a second mode in which the engine is stopped, when a predetermined condition is not satisfied during the second mode, the hybrid control unit being configured to maintain the control mode in the second mode, and when the predetermined condition is satisfied during the second mode, the hybrid control unit being configured to start the engine with cranking of the engine by the first rotating electric machine, and recover the control mode to the first mode, and the predetermined condition being a condition that the abnormality of communication is not found and a history of the abnormality of the engine is not found and electric power generated by the first rotating electric machine during cranking of the engine is lower than electric power receivable by the battery.
