  • Publication number: 20240132073
    Abstract: A vehicle moving control apparatus executes a regeneration charge coasting control when a stored electricity amount is equal to or smaller than a first deceleration charge threshold while a deceleration condition for decelerating a vehicle is satisfied, and executes a normal coasting control when the stored electricity amount of is greater than the first deceleration charge threshold while the deceleration condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20240123969
    Abstract: A vehicle moving apparatus executes a moving control to autonomously move a vehicle by controlling a power output from an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. When the vehicle is requested to be accelerated while the moving control is not executed, the apparatus keeps the engine deactivated and activates the motor while a requested power is smaller than a first start determination value, and starts to activate the engine when the requested power reaches the first start determination value. When the vehicle is requested to be accelerated while the moving control is executed, the apparatus keeps the engine deactivated and activates the motor while the requested power is smaller than a second start determination value, and starts to activate the engine when the requested power reaches the second start determination value. The second start determination value is smaller than the first start determination value.

  • Patent number: 11698020
    Abstract: A valve mounting structure includes a mounting portion, a valve, and a cushion. The valve includes a valve seat having a cylindrical joining portion that receives the mounting portion inserted thereto, or is inserted to the mounting portion. The cushion is arranged between the mounting portion and the joining portion, and fixed to each of the mounting portion and the joining portion. In a case where one of the mounting portion and the joining portion is a first portion and the other is a second portion, the first portion includes a peripheral wall and an opening portion without the peripheral wall formed therein. A fixing portion in which the second portion and the cushion are fixed to each other is at least partly arranged at a position adjacent to the opening portion along a radial direction of the mounting portion.

  • Publication number: 20230106671
    Abstract: A valve device includes a valve seat, a valve body, a buffer, and a non-overlapping portion. The valve seat has an opening that communicates with an exhaust flow path. The valve body is configured to open and close at least a part of the opening. The buffer is disposed between the valve seat and the valve body and is more flexible than the valve seat. The non-overlapping portion is configured so that the valve seat and the valve body do not overlap each other in an opening and closing direction of the valve body at at least a part of an outer periphery of the valve body in a state where the valve body is closed.

  • Publication number: 20220227233
    Abstract: Look-ahead deceleration assistance control includes: accelerator-off guidance control that is control to, when a target location related to deceleration of an electrically-powered vehicle is set, notify a driver of information prompting the driver to release an accelerator pedal; and regeneration increasing control that is control to, when the target location related to deceleration of the electrically-powered vehicle is set, increase a braking force generated by a motor generator as compared to when the target location is not set. The strong regeneration control is control to, when the strong regeneration mode is set by a switch operating unit, increase the braking force in a state where the accelerator pedal is released as compared to the normal mode. The control apparatus is configured to, when the strong regeneration mode is set by the switch operating unit, execute the strong regeneration control and not execute the look-ahead deceleration assistance control.
