Publication number: 20230406284Abstract: To inhibit clutch engagement during an engine restart from affecting cooperative regenerative braking control and switching of braking in a hybrid vehicle having a P2 module onboard, a control system for the hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a motor, a K0 clutch, drive shafts, a hydraulic friction brake system, and a controller capable of performing cooperative regenerative braking control. When start of the engine is requested during the cooperative regenerative braking control, the controller performs a first process of transitioning to braking only by the frictional brake system, a second process of raising an engine revolution speed while engagement of the K0 clutch is initiated after completion of transitioning to the braking, and a third process of controlling the engine to resume operating at a timing after the engine revolution speed increases to match a motor revolution speed after the engagement of the K0 clutch is initiated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Atsushi Yamasaki, Chikako Tsumura, Tomokuni Kusunoki, Yuichiro Yamane, Kanta Kono, Naoki Tsukamoto

Patent number: 11143118Abstract: To provide a control device for a vehicle capable of controlling the torque of a drive source so as to appropriately balance the suppression of body vibrations and the securing of a transient response during acceleration or deceleration. This control device for a vehicle includes an accelerator position sensor that detects the accelerator opening, a torque adjustment mechanism such as a throttle valve that adjusts the torque of an engine as the drive source of the vehicle, and a powertrain control module (PCM) that controls the torque adjustment mechanism based on the accelerator opening. The PCM sets the target acceleration of the vehicle based on the accelerator opening, sets the target torsion angle of the drive shaft based on the target acceleration, sets the target torque of the engine based on the target torsion, and controls the torque adjustment mechanism based on the target torque.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Yuichiro Yamane, Akira Tsuda, Yuki Ishiyama, Takefumi Takada, Yuto Sakasegawa, Kazuki Kawamoto, Jumpei Takeda, Hiroyuki Morioka, Shin Kato, Masahiro Nagoshi, Atsushi Yamasaki

Publication number: 20210082644Abstract: A movable main contact; a movable arc contact; a puffer cylinder including the movable main contact; a hollow rod that is arranged inside the puffer cylinder, includes the movable arc contact, and has an inner space through which an insulating gas flows; a thermal puffer chamber surrounded by the puffer cylinder and the hollow rod; an insulating cover that is provided to the hollow rod, and covers the movable arc contact; an insulating nozzle provided to the puffer cylinder; and a cylindrical flow guide extending in the axial direction are included. The flow guide is installed in the thermal puffer chamber, positioned on the outer circumference side of the hollow rod, and connected to the insulating nozzle. The space between the flow guide and the hollow rod is connected to the space between the insulating nozzle and the insulating cover, and serves as a flow path of the insulating gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Inventors: Hideyuki KOTSUJI, Hajime URAI, Masanao TERADA, Takahiro NISHIMURA, Yuichiro YAMANE
