HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

In controlling a hybrid vehicle, an internal combustion engine and an electric motor are controlled such that, when a power request is received while traveling with an operation of the internal combustion engine stopped and a requested power required for traveling is higher than a predetermined power, the operation of the internal combustion engine is started with an intake air volume based on the requested power and the hybrid vehicle travels with the requested power. When the power request is received for the first time after ignition-on, the start control for controlling the internal combustion engine is performed such that the operation of the internal combustion engine is started with an intake air volume lower than that based on the requested power. The hybrid vehicle includes a controller that performs the above control, an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, a battery, and a purification device.

主权项

1. A control device for controlling a hybrid vehicle including
an internal combustion engine of which a purification device having a purification catalyst for purifying an exhaust is installed in an exhaust system and which outputs a motive power for traveling; an electric motor that receives and outputs a motive power for traveling; and a battery that sends and receives an electric power to and from the electric motor, the control device comprising: a electronic control unit configured to control the internal combustion engine and the electric motor such that, when receiving a power request while traveling with an operation of the internal combustion engine stopped and a requested power required for traveling is higher than a predetermined power, the operation of the internal combustion engine is started with an intake air volume based on the requested power and the hybrid vehicle travels with the requested power, the electronic control unit being configured to perform a start control for controlling the internal combustion engine such that, when receiving the power request for the first time after an ignition switch is turned on, the operation of the internal combustion engine is started with an intake air volume lower than the intake air volume based on the requested power.
