Method for controlling idle stop mode in hybrid electric vehicle
View Patent ↗A method for controlling an idle stop mode in a hybrid electric vehicle is disclosed. The control method accords an oil pressure drain time that a continuously variable transmission clutch oil pressure is fully drained, a final off time of an engine, and a final control time of a motor when a hybrid electric vehicle enters an idle stop mode, thereby preventing a shock or shaking of the vehicle.
1. A method for controlling an idle stop mode in a hybrid electric vehicle, which accords an oil pressure drain time that a continuously variable transmission (CVT) clutch oil pressure is fully drained, a final off time of an engine, and a final control time of a motor when a hybrid electric vehicle enters an idle stop mode.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control for according the oil pressure drain time, the final engine off time and the final motor control time comprises the steps of:
generating a signal “I/Stop for a transmission control unit (TCU)” through a map for setting a vehicle speed condition for allowing the entrance of the idle stop mode for the TCU based on information about CVT oil temperature and deceleration;
transmitting the signal “I/Stop for TCU” to the TCU from a hybrid control unit (HCU) in advance when the hybrid electric vehicle reaches an idle stop mode entrance vehicle speed;
opening a CVT clutch in advance by control of the TCU to block an engine power;
turning off an engine by an engine control unit (ECU) in a state that the CVT oil pressure is fully drained at the same time when the CVT clutch is opened; and
controlling the motor to generate kill torque by the HCU.
