Control apparatus and control method of motive power apparatus for hybrid vehicle

摘要

In a control of a motive power apparatus for a hybrid vehicle, the coil temperatures of first and second rotary electric machines and an air pressure index value are acquired, and upper limit values of the outputs of the machines are determined on the basis of the values acquired. If the output of one of the machines is restricted by the determined upper limit value of the output, the output of the other is increased. Alternatively, the upper limit values of the outputs of rotary electric machines are determined by applying the acquired coil temperatures to a relation between the coil temperature and the upper limit value of the output which relation is set for each air pressure index value. If the output of one of the first and the second rotary electric machines is restrained by the determined upper limit values, the output of the other is increased.

主权项

1. A control apparatus of a motive power apparatus for a hybrid vehicle including a first rotary electric machine, a second rotary electric machine, an internal combustion engine, and a planetary gear mechanism having a first element, a second element, and a third element connected to a driving wheel, the control apparatus comprising:
an index value acquisition unit configured to acquire a value of air pressure index that correlates with air pressure; a first temperature acquisition unit configured to acquire a first coil temperature of the first rotary electric machine, the first rotary electric machine being connected to the internal combustion engine and the first element; a second temperature acquisition unit configured to acquire a second coil temperature of the second rotary electric machine connected to the second element; and a controller configured to determine an upper limit value of output based on the acquired first coil temperature, the acquired second coil temperature and the acquired value of the air pressure index, the controller being configured to increase the output of one of the first rotary electric machine and the second rotary electric machine if the output of another one of the first rotary electric machine and the second rotary electric machine is restrained by the determined upper limit value of the output.
