Patent number: 9463788Abstract: A control device for a hybrid vehicle, including a mode whereby the vehicle runs using a motor only, and a mode whereby the vehicle uses both the motor and an engine. When the motor temperature of an MG(2) exceeds a threshold temperature, an ECU moves from a running mode that uses the MG(2) only, to a running mode that limits the load on the MG(2). The ECU performs control in accordance with the charging state of the battery for running, such that the work rate of an electric pump for cooling the MG(2) is increased when the charging state is higher, and the running mode that uses the MG(2) only is maintained.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Keiji Takizawa, Tomohiko Miyamoto, Shuhei Matsusaka
