  • Patent number: 10781767
    Abstract: A fuel injection control apparatus switches between MPI and DI+MPI modes. The apparatus includes a unit calculating a DI direct combustion rate that is the rate of that portion of the amount of DI injection corresponding to a fuel combusted instead of adhering to inside of the cylinder, and a unit calculating a cylinder vaporization rate that is the rate of the amount of that portion of the fuel adhering to the inside of the cylinder which vaporizes. The former unit controls fuel injection based at least on the DI direct combustion rate and the cylinder vaporization rate. When the mode is switched between the MPI mode and the DI+MPI mode, the former unit corrects the DI direct combustion rate or the cylinder vaporization rate to set the amount of fuel injection to a value different from that set when the fuel injection modes are maintained.

After a lapse of a predetermined period from the establishment of the real failure, fault determination is established, a failure level is sent, and a hybrid fail-safe process is performed. Then, when the abnormality is eliminated, the real failure is not established, and the fail-safe process of an engine is finished. Then, when the ignition switch is turned off and then again turned on, sending of the failure level to a hybrid control unit is stopped, and the hybrid fail-safe process is finished.

  • Patent number: 9410508
    Abstract: A controlling apparatus for an engine includes a purge path connected to a sealing-type fuel tank and an intake system of an engine and is configured to allow purge gas containing evaporated fuel from the fuel tank to flow therethrough. A purge valve placed in the purge path is configured to adjust a flow rate of the purge gas. A calculation unit calculates a degree of opening of the purge valve based on a target introduction ratio of the purge gas, and a controlling unit controls the purge valve so as to establish the degree of opening calculated by the calculation unit. The calculation unit corrects, in high-pressure purge performed when a pressure in the fuel tank increases exceeding a predetermined pressure, the degree of opening using a tank pressure flow velocity correction coefficient K2 corresponding to an upstream pressure of the purge valve.

  • Patent number: 9376103
    Abstract: A traveling mode switching controller of a hybrid electric vehicle has a velocity detection unit, a state-of-charge detection unit, and a switching control unit for selectively switching among first to third traveling modes. In the first traveling mode, an engine is deactivated and a drive motor is activated to actuate drive wheels. In the second traveling mode, the engine activates a generator to activate the drive motor. In the third traveling mode, the engine activates the drive wheels. When the state of charge is less than a first state of charge, the switching control unit performs switching between the second traveling mode and the third traveling mode at a first velocity. When the state of charge is the first state of charge or more, the switching control unit performs switching between the first traveling mode and the third traveling mode at a predetermined velocity higher than the first velocity.

  • Publication number: 20160059843
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a first motor, a second motor, a battery, a decider, a first calculator, a second calculator and a controller. The decider detects a state of the battery and determines whether the detected state is a state where charging the battery is restricted. The first calculator calculates, when the first motor generates the regenerative electric power under the state where charging the battery is restricted, a target energy consumption representing a target value of electric power that the second motor is to consume to drive the engine by using the regenerative electric power. The second calculator calculates an actual energy consumption that the second motor requests to maintain rotating speed of the engine. The controller adjusts angular acceleration of the engine and the second motor, using a difference between the target energy consumption and the actual energy consumption.
