APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVE OF HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

A driving control apparatus (100) of a hybrid vehicle (10) is provided with: an internal combustion engine (200); a generator (MG1) capable of performing power generation by power of the internal combustion engine and capable of charging a storage battery with electric power obtained by the power generation; a power dividing mechanism (300) for dividing the power of the internal combustion engine into a drive shaft and a rotating shaft of the generator; an electric motor (MG2) capable of outputting power according to electric power supplied from at least one of the generator and the storage battery, to the drive shaft; a changing device (400) capable of changing an operating state of the generator, from one state to the other state out of a first state in which the rotating shaft of the generator can rotate and a second state in which the rotating shaft of the generator is fixed in a stop state; and a controlling device (100) for controlling the changing device to change the operating state of the generator from the one state to the other state in a predetermined period in which the rotating shaft of the generator does not rotate.
