Publication number: 20160059842Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus of embodiments includes a regeneration control portion, a judgment portion, a driving control portion and a discharge control portion. The regeneration control portion performs a regeneration control by the motor generator. The judgment portion determines whether or not the regeneration control by the motor generator is under execution and determining whether or not a state quantity of a battery exceeds a predetermined threshold value in a case where the regeneration control is under execution. The driving control portion disconnects between a driving shaft of the vehicle and the motor generator in a case where the regeneration control is under execution and the state quantity of the battery exceeds the predetermined threshold value.

Patent number: 9020677Abstract: A control apparatus for a vehicle including a second clutch capable of switching between input and output shafts connecting state in which a motor-generation is connected. The control apparatus drives the wheels by the motor-generation so a torque transmitted to the wheels does not fluctuate in case the gear shift is executed to the transmission when is in the output shaft connecting state of the second clutch, and synchronizes the input and output shafts at the gear shift by the motor-generation in case the gear shift is executed to the transmission when the second clutch state is in the input shaft connecting state. The second clutch state is switched to the output shaft connecting state when a drive power to the vehicle is equal or less than a value. The second clutch state is switched to the input shaft connecting state when the drive power is greater than the value.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignees: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki Kaisha, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takaaki Tanaka, Shinya Harada, Hiroshi Toyoda
