A description will be given of embodiment with reference to
A vehicle 100 according to this embodiment includes a one-way clutch 20 for fixing an engine input element of a planetary gear mechanism 10. The vehicle 100 is provided with an HV system that has an EV running mode in which an engine 1 is stopped, the one-way clutch 20 is fixed, and a first rotating machine MG1 and a second rotating machine MG2 are both driven.
When engaging a parking device 3 during running, as illustrated in
As illustrated in
The drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 according to the embodiment includes the engine 1, the planetary gear mechanism 10, the first rotating machine MG1, the second rotating machine MG2, the one-way clutch 20, the parking device 3, a friction brake device 41, and the drive wheel 32. The drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 may be configured by further including an ECU 50. The drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 is applicable to a front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FF) vehicle, a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive (RR) vehicle, or a similar vehicle. The drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 is, for example, mounted on the vehicle 100 to have the axial direction in the vehicle-width direction.
The braking device of the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 according to the embodiment includes the parking device 3 and the brake device 40.
The engine 1 as an engine converts combustion energy of fuel into a rotational motion of an output shaft and outputs the rotational motion. The output shaft of the engine 1 is coupled to the input shaft 2. The input shaft 2 is arranged coaxially with the output shaft of the engine 1 and on the extended line of the output shaft. The input shaft 2 is coupled to a carrier 14 of the planetary gear mechanism 10.
The planetary gear mechanism 10 is a single-pinion type, and includes a sun gear 11, a pinion gear 12, a ring gear 13, and the carrier 14. The ring gear 13 is arranged coaxially with the sun gear 11 and in the radially outward direction of the sun gear 11. The pinion gear 12 is arranged between the sun gear 11 and the ring gear 13, and meshes with each of the sun gear 11 and the ring gear 13. The pinion gear 12 is rotatably supported by the carrier 14. The carrier 14 is coupled to the input shaft 2, and rotates integrally with the input shaft 2. Accordingly, the pinion gear 12 is rotatable around the center axis line of the input shaft 2 together with the input shaft 2 (revolution). Additionally, the pinion gear 12 is supported by the carrier 14 and rotatable around the center axis line of the pinion gear 12 (rotation).
To the sun gear 11, a rotation shaft 33 of the first rotating machine MG1 is coupled. The rotor of the first rotating machine MG1 is coupled to the sun gear 11 via the rotation shaft 33, and rotates integrally with the sun gear 11. To the ring gear 13, a counter drive gear 25 is coupled. The counter drive gear 25 is an output gear that rotates integrally with the ring gear 13. The counter drive gear 25 is disposed on an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical-shaped cylindrical member 15 and the ring gear 13 is disposed on the inner peripheral surface.
The counter drive gear 25 meshes with a counter driven gear 26. The counter driven gear 26 is coupled to a drive pinion gear 28 via a counter shaft 27. The counter driven gear 26 and the drive pinion gear 28 rotate integrally. The counter driven gear 26 meshes with a reduction gear 35. The reduction gear 35 is coupled to a rotation shaft 34 of the second rotating machine MG2. That is, the rotation of the second rotating machine MG2 is transmitted to the counter driven gear 26 via the reduction gear 35. The reduction gear 35 has a smaller diameter than that of the counter driven gear 26, and decelerates the rotation of the second rotating machine MG2 to transmit the rotation to the counter driven gear 26.
The drive pinion gear 28 meshes with a differential ring gear 29 of a differential 30. The differential 30 is coupled to the drive wheels 32 via right and left drive shafts 31. The ring gear 13 is coupled to the drive wheel 32 via the counter drive gear 25, the counter driven gear 26, the drive pinion gear 28, the differential 30, and the drive shaft 31. The second rotating machine MG2 is coupled to a power transmission path between the ring gear 13 and the drive wheel 32, and can transmit power to each of the ring gear 13 and the drive wheel 32.
The first rotating machine MG1 and the second rotating machine MG2 each have a function as a motor (electric motor) and a function as an electric generator. The first rotating machine MG1 and the second rotating machine MG2 are coupled to a battery via an inverter. The first rotating machine MG1 and the second rotating machine MG2 can convert the electric power supplied from the battery into a mechanical power to output the mechanical power, and can be driven by an input power to convert the mechanical power into an electric power. The electric power generated by the rotating machines MG1 and MG2 can be stored in the battery. The first rotating machine MG1 and the second rotating machine MG2 can employ, for example, AC synchronous motor-generators.
In the vehicle 100 of this embodiment, the one-way clutch 20, the counter drive gear 25, the planetary gear mechanism 10, and the first rotating machine MG1 are arranged coaxially with the engine 1 in this order from the side close to the engine 1. The drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 of this embodiment is a multi-shaft type where the input shaft 2 and the rotation shaft 34 of the second rotating machine MG2 are arranged on the different shafts.
The one-way clutch 20 is disposed at the input shaft 2. The one-way clutch 20 is a regulating mechanism that regulates the rotation of the carrier 14. Assuming that the rotation direction of the input shaft 2 during operation of the engine 1 is the positive direction, the one-way clutch 20 allows the rotation of the input shaft 2 in the positive direction and regulates the rotation in the negative direction.
The parking device 3 is a regulating device that restricts the rotation of the power transmission path of the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1. The parking device 3 restricts the rotation of the power transmission path coupling the ring gear 13 and the drive wheel 32. The parking device 3 of this embodiment is coupled to the ring gear 13. The parking device 3 restricts the rotation of the cylindrical member 15 having the ring gear 13. As illustrated in
The parking gear 4 is disposed at the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 15. The parking pole 5 is disposed to be movable between a lock position and an unlocked position. The lock position meshes with the parking gear 4 to disable the rotation of the drive wheel 32. The unlocked position does not mesh with the parking gear 4 to allow the rotation of the drive wheel 32.
To engage the parking device 3, the parking actuator 6 moves a rod 7 in an engaging direction indicated by an arrow A in
On the other hand, to release the parking device 3, the parking actuator 6 moves the rod 7 in the direction opposite to the engaging direction indicated by the arrow A. This moves the parking pole 5 to the unlocked position by the biasing force by the biasing member to release the parking device 3.
Now returning to
The ECU 50 is electrically coupled to a parking sensor 36. The ECU 50 can obtain operations and inputs to a parking button (not illustrated). When performing the operation input to engage the parking device 3 on the parking button, the parking sensor 36 outputs a signal indicative of the state of the parking button being 1. When the parking sensor 36 outputs the signal indicative of the state of the parking button being 1, the ECU 50 detects this signal as a command of engaging the parking device 3 by a driver (hereinafter also referred to as an “engagement command”). When the ECU 50 detects the engagement command, the ECU 50 outputs a command of moving the parking pole 5 to the lock position on the parking actuator 6 of the parking device 3.
When performing the operation input to release the parking device 3 on the parking button, the parking sensor 36 outputs a signal indicative of a state of the parking button being 0. When the parking sensor 36 outputs the signal indicative of the state of the parking button being 0, the ECU 50 detects this signal as a command of releasing the parking device 3 by the driver (hereinafter also referred to as a “release command”). When the ECU 50 detects the release command, the ECU 50 outputs a command of moving the parking pole 5 to the unlocked position on the parking actuator 6 of the parking device 3.
The ECU 50 is electrically coupled to a brake operation amount sensor 37. The brake operation amount sensor 37 is a sensor to detect an amount of operation of a brake pedal (not illustrated) or a similar component on a brake operator. The amount of brake operation is, for example, a pedal stroke, a pedal depressing force, and a pedal depressing speed. Based on the amount of brake operation obtained from the brake operation amount sensor 37, the ECU 50 calculates a required braking power requested by the driver. To ensure achieving the required braking power, which is calculated, the ECU 50 generates the braking power by the brake device 40.
The drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 of this embodiment has the brake device 40. The brake device 40 includes the friction brake device 41 and the second rotating machine MG2, which functions as a regenerative brake device. The regenerative brake device may further include the first rotating machine MG1.
The friction brake device 41 includes an electronically controlled brake system (ECB) as a brake control system. The friction brake device 41 generates the braking power by an actuator. The friction brake device 41 includes a brake unit 42 and a hydraulic controller 43. At each wheel of the vehicle 100, the brake unit 42 is disposed. The brake unit 42 provides the wheel with a braking torque to generate the braking power. The brake unit 42 generates the braking torque according to a hydraulic pressure supplied from the hydraulic controller 43. The brake unit 42 can be, for example, a disc brake mechanism.
The hydraulic controller 43 controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the brake unit 42. The hydraulic controller 43, for example, includes a hydraulic pump, a pressure control valve, or a similar component. The hydraulic controller 43 controls a pump hydraulic pressure generated at the hydraulic pump and supplies the brake unit 42 at each wheel with the pump hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic controller 43 can independently control the hydraulic pressure supplied to the brake unit 42 at each wheel. In this embodiment, a brake actuator, which causes the friction brake device 41 to generate the braking power, includes the brake unit 42 and the hydraulic controller 43.
The ECU 50 determines target braking powers generated by the respective friction brake device 41 and second rotating machine MG2 based on the required braking power. The ECU 50, for example, determines target values of brake braking power and regenerative braking power so as to achieve the required braking power by the braking power generated by the friction brake device 41 (brake braking power) and the braking power generated by regenerative power generation by the second rotating machine MG2 (regenerative braking power).
The ECU 50 is electrically coupled to the hydraulic controller 43. The ECU 50 electrically controls the hydraulic controller 43. The ECU 50 controls the hydraulic pressure supplied from the hydraulic controller 43 to each of the brake units 42 so as to generate a targeted brake braking power by the brake unit 42. The ECU 50 controls a regenerative torque (MG2 torque) of the second rotating machine MG2 so as to generate a targeted regenerative braking power by the second rotating machine MG2.
The vehicle 100 can selectively execute hybrid (HV) running or EV running. The HV running is a running mode that causes the vehicle 100 to run using the engine 1 as a power source. In the HV running, the second rotating machine MG2 may additionally be used as the power source in addition to the engine 1.
The EV running is a running mode that causes running using at least any one of the first rotating machine MG1 or the second rotating machine MG2 as a power source. The EV running allows running while the engine 1 is stopped. The drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 according to this embodiment has a single-drive EV mode (single-motor EV mode) and a dual-drive EV mode (dual-motor EV mode) as the EV running mode. The single-drive EV mode causes the vehicle 100 to run using the second rotating machine MG2 as a single power source. The dual-drive EV mode causes the vehicle 100 to run using the first rotating machine MG1 and the second rotating machine MG2 as power sources. Here, in this description, the single-drive EV mode is also described as the “EV1 mode” and the dual-drive EV mode is also described as the “EV2 mode”.
In the engagement table of
In the HV mode, the engine 1 rotates and the input shaft 2 rotates positively. Accordingly, the one-way clutch 20 becomes a released state. The single-drive EV mode (EV1 mode) illustrated in
In the dual-drive EV mode (EV2 mode) illustrated in
Here, in the case where a command of engaging the parking device 3 is executed during running, as will be described later with reference to
Not limited to the dual-drive EV mode, during the EV running, the torque is possibly input to the one-way clutch 20. For example, in the single-drive EV mode (see
Upon a command of engaging the parking device 3, the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 according to this embodiment, as will be described with reference to
With reference to
At Step S10, the ECU 50 determines whether the command of engaging the parking device 3 is executed or not. The ECU 50 performs the determination of Step S10 based on the signal output from the parking sensor 36. When switching the signal output from the parking sensor 36 from a command of releasing the parking device 3 by the driver (0: exit) to a command of engaging the parking device 3 by the driver (1: enter), the ECU 50 performs an affirmative determination at Step S10. In
At Step S20, the ECU 50 determines whether the vehicle is during running or not. The ECU 50 determines whether the vehicle speed is greater than 0 or not. As the result of the determination, if determined as during running (Step S20-Y), the process proceeds to Step S30. If not (Step S20-N), the process proceeds to Step S50.
At Step S30, the ECU 50 determines whether the engine speed≈0 is met or not. Step S30 determines whether the engagement of the parking device 3 has a possibility that engaging the one-way clutch 20 inputs the torque to the one-way clutch 20 or not. For example, in the case where the engine speed is equal to or less than a predetermined rotation speed, the ECU 50 performs the affirmative determination at Step S30. The predetermined rotation speed is, for example, the rotation speed sufficiently smaller than the engine speed region while the engine 1 is driving. The predetermined rotation speed is, for example, set as an upper limit value of the rotation speed at which there is a possibility of engaging the parking device 3 engages the one-way clutch 20 and inputs the torque to the one-way clutch 20. As a result of the determination at Step S30, if determined that the engine speed≈0 is met (Step S30-Y), the process proceeds to Step S40. If not (Step S30-N), the process proceeds to Step S50.
At Step S40, the ECU 50 positively rotates the first rotating machine MG1. The ECU 50 commands the rotation at the predetermined positive rotation speed on the first rotating machine MG1. In
At Step S50, the ECU 50 engages the parking device 3 to lock the rotation of the parking gear 4. The ECU 50 outputs a command of moving the parking pole 5 to the lock position to the parking actuator 6. In
When the parking device 3 engages, the ECU 50 sets the MG1 rotation speed 0. In
(Brake Control)
Next, the following describes the brake control of the brake device 40 by the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 of this embodiment. With the vehicle 100 of this embodiment, as will be described later with reference to
As will be described later with reference to
With reference to
At Step S100, the ECU 50 determines whether the brake request is performed or not. The ECU 50, for example, performs the determination of Step S100 based on the detection result by the brake operation amount sensor 37. The ECU 50, for example, performs the affirmative determination at Step S100 when a braking operation input to the brake operator by the driver is detected. In
At Step S110, the ECU 50 determines whether the vehicle is during running or not. The ECU 50 determines whether the vehicle speed is greater than 0 or not. As the result of the determination, if determined as during running (Step S110-Y), the process proceeds to Step S120. If not (Step S110-N), the process proceeds to Step S150.
At Step S120, the ECU 50 determines whether the sudden braking determination is performed or not. The ECU 50, for example, performs the determination of Step S120 based on a sudden braking determination flag. In this embodiment, based on an anteroposterior acceleration of a vehicle, a request brake torque, the vehicle speed, the request hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic controller 43, brake depression force, or a similar specification, the sudden braking determination flag is turned ON. For example, when the brake torque request is equal to or more than a predetermined value, the sudden braking determination flag is turned ON. In
At Step S130, the ECU 50 determines whether the engine speed≈0 is met or not. The ECU 50 determines whether there is a possibility that the braking by the brake device 40 engages the one-way clutch 20 and inputs the torque to the one-way clutch 20 or not. In the case where the engine speed is equal to or less than the predetermined rotation speed, the ECU 50, for example, performs the affirmative determination at Step S130. The predetermined rotation speed is, for example, set as an upper limit value of the rotation speed at which there is a possibility of the braking by the brake device 40 engages the one-way clutch 20 and inputs the torque to the one-way clutch 20. As a result of the determination at Step S130, if determined that the engine speed≈0 is met (Step S130-Y), the process proceeds to Step S140. If not (Step S130-N), the process proceeds to Step S150.
At Step S140, the ECU 50 relatively increases the MG1 rotation speed to the positive rotation side. The ECU 50 relatively changes a target value of the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side. If the MG1 rotation speed before changing the rotation speed is a negative rotation speed, the MG1 rotation speed after the change is, for example, set to a negative rotation speed and the rotation speed whose absolute value is smaller than the MG1 rotation speed before the change. Alternatively, the MG1 rotation speed may be changed from a negative rotation speed to a positive rotation speed or 0 rotations. In the case where the MG1 rotation speed before the change is the positive rotation, the MG1 rotation speed may be set to increase, or may be set so as to maintain the MG1 rotation speed as it is. After execution of Step S140, the process proceeds to Step S150.
At Step S150, the ECU 50 performs the brake control. The ECU 50 outputs the braking command to at least any one of the friction brake device 41 or the second rotating machine MG2 to generate the braking power. When the ECU 50, for example, outputs a command of relatively changing the MG1 rotation speed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side, the ECU 50 commands the friction brake device 40 and the second rotating machine MG2 to start braking. In
As described above, in response to the braking command (Step S10-Y and S100-Y), the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 according to this embodiment relatively changes the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side (Steps S40 and S140) to perform the braking by the braking device (Steps S50 and S150). This reduces the input of the torque to the one-way clutch 20 during braking.
The braking device of the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 includes the parking device 3 engaged by the parking actuator 6. The ECU 50 of the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 electrically controls the parking actuator 6. When executing the command of engaging the parking device 3 as the braking command, the ECU 50 positively rotates the first rotating machine MG1 and engages the parking device 3 by the parking actuator 6. Accordingly, the input of the torque to the one-way clutch 20 when the parking device 3 engages and the rotation of the drive wheel 32 is locked is reduced.
The braking device that the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 has includes the brake device 40. The brake device 40 is electrically controlled by the ECU 50 to generate the braking power. In response to the braking command, the ECU 50 relatively changes the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side to cause the brake device 40 to generate the braking power. This reduces the input of the torque to the one-way clutch 20 during braking by the brake device 40.
If the braking command commands the sudden braking (Steps S10-Y and S120-Y), the drive device for hybrid vehicle 1-1 relatively changes the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side to perform braking. This allows reducing the input of the torque to the one-way clutch 20 in the case where there is a possibility that a large torque is input to the one-way clutch 20.
In the embodiment (see
For example, in the case where a command to engage the parking device 3 is executed, before the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 becomes the positive rotation, the engagement command may be output to the parking actuator 6. Even if this operation is performed, as long as the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 is set to be the positive rotation before the parking device 3 engages and a negative torque Tc is input to the carrier 14, the torque input to the one-way clutch 20 can be reduced.
If the braking command is executed to the brake operator by operation input, before the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 relatively changes to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side after the change, the braking command can be output to the brake device 40. Even if this operation is performed, as long as the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 relatively changes to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side before the brake device 40 starts generating the braking power, the torque input to the one-way clutch 20 can be reduced.
The embodiment electrically controls the engagement and releasing of the parking device 3. However, instead of this, the parking device 3 mechanically engaged and released in conjunction with a shift operation with a wire or a similar component may be mounted on the vehicle 100. In this case, for example, based on the detection result by the sensor detecting the shift operation, a command of engaging the parking device 3 may be detected or predicted. For example, when detecting an operation of moving a shift lever to a parking (P) position, the release command to the parking device 3 by the driver may be detected or predicted and the first rotating machine MG1 may be positively rotated preliminary.
With the embodiment, the friction brake device 41 is electrically controlled to generate the braking power. However, instead of this, the friction brake device 41 that mechanically generates the braking power in conjunction with the braking operation to the brake operator may be mounted on the vehicle 100. In this case, for example, when detecting the braking command based on the detection result by the brake operation amount sensor 37, the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 may be relatively changed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side.
With the embodiment, regardless of whether the friction brake device 41 performs the braking or the second rotating machine MG2 performs the braking, in response to the braking command, the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 relatively changes to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side. However, instead of this, in the case where the friction brake device 41 performs the braking, the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 may be relatively changed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side.
For example, with the vehicle 100, for comparatively small required braking power, there may be a case where a braking by the regeneration of the second rotating machine MG2 is prioritized over the braking by the friction brake device 41. In the case where the regenerative braking power by the second rotating machine MG2 can achieve the required braking power, the second rotating machine MG2 runs the braking. In the case where only the regenerative braking power by the second rotating machine MG2 cannot achieve the required braking power, the second rotating machine MG2 and the friction brake device 41 can perform the braking. In such case, when the friction brake device 41 does not perform braking, even if the braking command is executed, the second rotating machine MG2 may perform the braking without the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 relatively changed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side. When the friction brake device 41 performs braking, in response to the braking command, the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 may be relatively changed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side to perform the braking by the friction brake device 41.
With the embodiment, the engine is the engine 1. However, instead of the engine 1, another engine may be mounted to the vehicle 100. With the embodiment, the parking device 3 is disposed at the cylindrical member 15. However, the parking device 3 may be disposed at another position. The parking device 3, for example, may restrict the rotation of the rotation shaft 34 of the second rotating machine MG2. That is, the parking device 3 may be directly coupled to the ring gear 13, or may be coupled via a gear mechanism or a similar mechanism. With the embodiment, the operation commands such as the engagement command and the release command of the parking device 3 are executed with the parking button. However, the operation commands are not limited to be performed with the parking button. For example, the operation commands may be performed by an operation input on a shift lever or a similar component or the operation command may be the operation command using touchscreen or using audio.
The configuration of the friction brake device 41 is not limited to the examples. The brake device 40 may include the brake apparatus other than the friction brake device 41 and the second rotating machine MG2.
With the embodiment, when meeting the engine speed≈0 (S30-Y and S130-Y), the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 is relatively changed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side. However, regardless of the engine speed, the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 may be relatively changed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side. With the embodiment, when performing the sudden braking determination (S120-Y), the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 is relatively changed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side. However, not limited to the case where the sudden braking determination is performed, the rotation speed of the first rotating machine MG1 may be relatively changed to the rotation speed of the positive rotation side.
The matters that are disclosed in the embodiment and each modifications described above may be combined as necessary.
