Abstract

When parking is expected at a predetermined point, state of charge reduction control is performed in a current trip to control an engine and a motor such that the state of charge of a power storage device when parking is expected at the predetermined point is lower than the state of charge of the power storage device when parking is not expected at the predetermined point. State of charge recovery control is then performed in a next trip to control the engine and the motor such that the state of charge is recovered during operation of the engine. Even when parking is expected at the predetermined point, execution of the state of charge reduction control is restricted in the case where the temperature of the motor is higher than a predetermined temperature.

Claims (40)

1. A hybrid vehicle, comprising:

an engine;

a motor;

a power storage device configured to transmit electric power to and from the motor; and

a control device configured to, when parking is expected at a predetermined point, perform state of charge reduction control in a current trip and to perform state of charge recovery control in a next trip, wherein the state of charge reduction control controls the engine and the motor such that state of charge of the power storage device when parking is expected at the predetermined point is lower than the state of charge of the power storage device when parking is not expected at the predetermined point, and the state of charge recovery control controls the engine and the motor such that the state of charge of the power storage device is recovered during operation of the engine, wherein

even when parking is expected at the predetermined point, the control device restricts execution of the state of charge reduction control, in a case where a temperature of the motor is higher than a predetermined temperature, and

when parking is expected at the predetermined point and the temperature of the motor is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature, in a case where the hybrid vehicle is in a low speed high load drive having a vehicle speed that is equal to or lower than a predetermined vehicle speed and having a load that exceeds or is expected to exceed a predetermined load, the control device performs the state of charge reduction control and forcibly drives a pressure feed pump configured to press feed a cooling medium to the motor.

2. A hybrid vehicle, comprising:

an engine;

a motor;

a power storage device configured to transmit electric power to and from the motor; and

a control device configured to, when parking is expected at a predetermined point, perform state of charge reduction control in a current trip and to perform state of charge recovery control in a next trip, wherein the state of charge reduction control controls the engine and the motor such that state of charge of the power storage device when parking is expected at the predetermined point is lower than the state of charge of the power storage device when parking is not expected at the predetermined point, and the state of charge recovery control controls the engine and the motor such that the state of charge of the power storage device is recovered during operation of the engine, wherein

when the hybrid vehicle is in a low speed high load drive having a vehicle speed that is equal to or lower than a predetermined vehicle speed and having a load that exceeds or is expected to exceed a predetermined load, the control device forcibly drives a pressure feed pump configured to press feed a cooling medium to the motor, while performing the state of charge reduction control.

3. The hybrid vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein the control device determines whether parking at the predetermined point is expected or not, based on whether a destination is the predetermined point, and

when no destination is set by a user, the control device obtains a destination that is estimated based on a driving history by a vehicle exterior system.

4. The hybrid vehicle according to claim 2 ,

the hybrid vehicle being a motor vehicle configured not to perform external charging that charges the power storage device using electric power from an external power supply.

5. The hybrid vehicle according to claim 2 ,

the hybrid vehicle being a motor vehicle configured to be capable of performing external charging that charges the power storage device using electric power from an external power supply, and

the predetermined point is a point where the external charging is not expected to be performed.

6. A hybrid vehicle, comprising:

an engine;

a motor;

a power storage device configured to transmit electric power to and from the motor; and

a control device configured to, when parking is expected at a predetermined point, perform state of charge reduction control in a current trip and to perform state of charge recovery control in a next trip, wherein the state of charge reduction control controls the engine and the motor such that state of charge of the power storage device when parking is expected at the predetermined point is lower than the state of charge of the power storage device when parking is not expected at the predetermined point, and the state of charge recovery control controls the engine and the motor such that the state of charge of the power storage device is recovered during operation of the engine, wherein

even when parking is expected at the predetermined point, the control device restricts execution of the state of charge reduction control, in a case where a temperature of the motor is higher than a predetermined temperature,

wherein the control device determines whether parking at the predetermined point is expected or not, based on whether a destination is the predetermined point, and

when no destination is set by a user, the control device obtains a destination that is estimated based on a driving history by a vehicle exterior system.

7. A hybrid vehicle comprising:

an engine;

a motor;

a power storage device configured to transmit electric power to and from the motor; and

a control device configured to, when parking is expected at a predetermined point, perform state of charge reduction control in a current trip and to perform state of charge recovery control in a next trip, wherein the state of charge reduction control controls the engine and the motor such that state of charge of the power storage device when parking is expected at the predetermined point is lower than the state of charge of the power storage device when parking is not expected at the predetermined point, and the state of charge recovery control controls the engine and the motor such that the state of charge of the power storage device is recovered during operation of the engine, wherein

even when parking is expected at the predetermined point, the control device restricts execution of the state of charge reduction control, in a case where a temperature of the motor is higher than a predetermined temperature,

the hybrid vehicle being a motor vehicle configured to be capable of performing external charging that charges the power storage device using electric power from an external power supply, and

the predetermined point is a point where the external charging is not expected to be performed.

8. A control device mounted on a hybrid vehicle, the hybrid vehicle comprising an engine, a motor, and a power storage device configured to transmit electric power to and from the motor,

the control device being configured to, when parking is expected at a predetermined point, perform state of charge reduction control in a current trip and to perform state of charge recovery control in a next trip, wherein the state of charge reduction control controls the engine and the motor such that state of charge of the power storage device when parking is expected at the predetermined point is lower than the state of charge of the power storage device when parking is not expected at the predetermined point, and the state of charge recovery control controls the engine and the motor such that the state of charge of the power storage device is recovered during operation of the engine,

when the hybrid vehicle is in a low speed high load drive having a vehicle speed that is equal to or lower than a predetermined vehicle speed and having a load that exceeds or is expected to exceed a predetermined load, the control device forcibly drives a pressure feed pump configured to press feed a cooling medium to the motor, while performing the state of charge reduction control.
