Patent number: 11338790Abstract: Since a maximum rotation speed is set to a lower value when a supercharging pressure from a supercharger is high than when the supercharging pressure is low, an engine torque is decreased at a relatively low engine rotation speed and the engine rotation speed is less likely to fall into a high-rotation state. Since the maximum rotation speed is set to a relatively high value when the supercharging pressure is relatively low and the engine rotation speed is less likely to fall into a high-rotation state, the engine torque is not decreased at a relatively high engine rotation speed and power performance can be easily secured. Accordingly, it is possible to curb a decrease in power performance due to a decrease in the engine torque and to prevent the engine rotation speed from falling into a high-rotation state.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Atsushi Tabata, Koichi Okuda, Tooru Matsubara, Takashi Kohno, Yasutaka Tsuchida

Patent number: 11279338Abstract: A control device for a hybrid vehicle includes an engine operating point control unit that shifts an engine operating point to an engine operating point on an optimal fuel-efficiency operating line outside a predetermined noise generation region in which combustion sounds of an engine become noise when the engine operating point is in the noise generation region. Accordingly, when the engine operating point is in the noise generation region, the engine operating point control unit shifts the engine operating point to an engine operating point on the optimal fuel-efficiency operating line outside the noise generation region. As a result, since the engine operating point is not separated from the optimal fuel-efficiency operating line even when the engine operating point departs from the noise generation region, it is possible to curb a decrease in fuel efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tooru Matsubara, Atsushi Tabata, Koichi Okuda, Yasuhiro Hiasa, Takashi Kohno

Patent number: 11267456Abstract: When the required driving force is larger than the first upper limit driving force, the control device sets a target compensation power of a power storage device, based on a difference between the required driving force and the first upper limit driving force. Further, the control device gradually increases a working compensation power toward the target compensation power when the gear ratio of the stepped transmission is changed, compared with an increase in the working compensation power when the gear ratio of the stepped transmission is not changed.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takashi Kohno, Shinichi Sasade, Takahiro Kimura, Yasutaka Tsuchida
