POWER OUTPUT APPARATUS, VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH THE SAME, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

In a vehicle having a planetary gear mechanism to which an engine, a first motor, a drive shaft and a second motor are connected, while the engine is stopped, an increase rate (?Tr) by which required torque (Tr*), which is the torque required to be output to a drive shaft, is allowed to increase, is set based on an output limit (Wout) of a battery, and an actual torque (T*) is set with the required torque (Tr*) limited by the set increase rate (?Tr) (S 150, S 160). A torque limit (Tmax) of the second motor is set by dividing the output limit (Wout) by the rotational speed of the second motor, and control is performed so that the actual torque (T*) is output from the second motor with the upper limit of the torque limit (Tmax) (S260 to S290).
