Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2017-200411 filed on Oct. 16, 2017, the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a hybrid vehicle or more specifically to a hybrid vehicle including an engine, a planetary gear, two motors, two inverters, a power storage device and a step-up/down converter.
- A proposed configuration of a hybrid vehicle includes an engine; a first motor configured to generate a reverse voltage by rotation; a planetary gear configured to include a sun gear, a carrier and a ring gear respectively connected with the first motor, the engine and an output shaft coupled with drive wheels; a second motor connected with the output shaft; a first inverter configured to drive the first motor; a second inverter configured to drive the second motor; a battery; and a converter connected with a first power line, which the battery is connected with, and with a second power line, which the first inverter and the second inverter are connected with, and configured to transmit electric power between the first power line and the second power line with regulation of a voltage of the second power line (as described in, for example, JP 2017-65604A). During a run of the hybrid vehicle with shutting off gates of the first inverter and the second inverter and operating the engine, the hybrid vehicle of this configuration controls the engine and the converter such that the reverse voltage of the first motor is higher than the voltage of the second power line. This causes the first motor to generate a reverse torque, and outputs a drive torque as a reactive force of this reverse torque to the output shaft to enable the hybrid vehicle to run forward.
-
- PTL 1: JP2017-065604A
- During a drive in which the hybrid vehicle of this configuration is driven with shutting off the gates of the first inverter and the second inverter and operating the engine, an increase in a difference between the reverse voltage of the first motor and the voltage of the second power line basically increases the electric current that is flowed from the first motor via the converter to the battery and thereby increases the reverse torque of the first motor. An increase in the electric current that is flowed from the first motor via the converter to the battery makes it likely that the converter has a temperature rise and thereby overheats.
- A hybrid vehicle of the present disclosure mainly aims to suppress a step-up/down converter from overheating.
- In order to achieve the above primary object, the hybrid vehicle of the disclosure is implemented by an aspect described below.
- The present disclosure is directed to a hybrid vehicle. The hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a first motor configured to generate a reverse voltage by rotation, a planetary gear configured to include three rotational elements respectively connected with three axes of the first motor, the engine, and a driveshaft coupled with drive wheels, such that the first motor, the engine and the driveshaft are aligned in this sequence in an alignment chart, a second motor configured to input and output power into and from the driveshaft, a first inverter configured to drive the first motor, a second inverter configured to drive the second motor, a power storage device, a step-up/down converter connected with a low voltage-side power line, which the power storage device is connected with, and with a high voltage-side power line, which the first inverter and the second inverter are connected with, and configured to transmit electric power between the low voltage-side power line and the high voltage-side power line with regulation of a voltage of the high voltage-side power line, and a control device configured to control the engine and the step-up/down converter such that a reverse voltage of the first motor is higher than the voltage of the high voltage-side power line, during a predetermined drive in which the hybrid vehicle is driven with shutting off gates of the first inverter and the second inverter and operating the engine. In an event of an increase in an operation amount of an accelerator during the predetermined drive, the control device controls the engine and the step-up/down converter to limit an increment of a difference between the reverse voltage of the first motor and the voltage of the high voltage-side power line when a temperature of the step-up/down converter is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, compared with an increment of the difference when the temperature of the step-up/down converter is lower than the predetermined temperature.
- During the predetermined drive in which the hybrid vehicle is driven with shutting off the gates of the first inverter and the second inverter and operating the engine, the hybrid vehicle of this aspect controls the engine and the step-up/down converter such that the reverse voltage of the first motor is higher than the voltage of the high voltage-side power line. Such control causes the first motor to generate a regenerative torque (reverse torque) corresponding to the voltage difference between the reverse voltage of the first motor and the voltage of the high voltage-side power line, and enables a reactive torque of this regenerative torque to be output to the driveshaft as a drive torque (forward torque) and thereby cause the hybrid vehicle to run forward. In the event of an increase in the operation amount of the accelerator during the predetermined drive, the hybrid vehicle of this aspect controls the engine and the step-up/down converter to limit the increment of the difference between the reverse voltage of the first motor and the voltage of the high voltage-side power line when the temperature of the step-up/down converter is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, compared with the increment of the difference when the temperature of the step-up/down converter is lower than the predetermined temperature. The “predetermined temperature” is determined to be a temperature rather lower than an overheat temperature of the step-up/down converter. Such control suppresses an increase in electric current that is flowed from the first motor via the step-up/down converter to the power storage device, due to an increase in the difference between the reverse voltage of the first motor and the voltage of the high voltage-side power line. As a result, this suppresses a temperature rise of the step-up/down converter and thereby suppresses the step-up down converter from overheating.

The respective phases of the three-phase coils (U phase, V phase and W phase) of the motor MG1 are connected with connection points of the respective pairs of the transistors T11 to T16. Accordingly, when a voltage is applied to theinverter 41, a motor electronic control unit (hereinafter referred to as “motor ECU”) 40 regulates the rates of ON times of the respective pairs of the transistors T11 to T16 to provide a rotating magnetic field in the three-phase coils and thereby rotate and drive the motor MG1.

When a voltage is applied to theinverter 42, themotor ECU 40 regulates the rates of ON times of the respective pairs of the transistors T21 to T26 to provide a rotating magnetic field in the three-phase coils and thereby rotate and drive the motor MG2. - The step-up/
down converter 55 is connected with the high voltage-side power lines 54 a and with low voltage-side power lines 54 b and includes two transistors T31 and T32 serving as two switching elements, two diodes D31 and D32 respectively connected in parallel to the two transistors T31 and T32, and a reactor L.

The reactor L is connected with a connection point between the transistors T31 and T32 and with a positive electrode line of the low voltage-side power lines 54 b. Themotor ECU 40 regulates the rates of ON times of the transistors T31 and T32, such that the step-up/down converter 55 steps up an electric power of the low voltage-side power lines 54 b and supplies the stepped-up electric power to the high voltage-side power lines 54 a, while stepping down an electric power of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a and supplying the stepped-down electric power to the low voltage-side power lines 54 b, accompanied with regulation of a voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a. Acapacitor 57 for smoothing is mounted to the positive electrode line and the negative electrode line of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a. Acapacitor 58 for smoothing is mounted to the positive electrode line and the negative electrode line of the low voltage-side power lines 54 b. - The motor ECU 40 is configured as a CPU-based microprocessor and includes a ROM configured to store processing programs, a RAM configured to temporarily store data, input/output ports and a communication port, in addition to the CPU, although not being illustrated. As shown in
FIG. 1 , signals from various sensors required for drive control of the motors MG1 and MG2 and the step-up/down converter 55 are input into the motor ECU 40 via the input port. The signals input into themotor ECU 40 include, for example, rotational positions θm1 and θm2 from rotationalposition detection sensors current sensors temperature sensor 55 a configured to detect the temperature of the transistor T31 of the step-up/downconverter 55, and a temperature TL of the reactor L from atemperature sensor 55 b configured to detect the temperature of the reactor L of the step-up/downconverter 55. The input signals also include a voltage (high voltage-side voltage) VH of the capacitor 57 (high voltage-side power lines 54 a) from avoltage sensor 57 a mounted between terminals of thecapacitor 57 and a voltage (low voltage-side voltage) VL of the capacitor 58 (low voltage-side power lines 54 b) from avoltage sensor 58 a mounted between terminals of thecapacitor 58. Various control signals for drive control of the motors MG1 and MG2 and the step-up/downconverter 55 are output from themotor ECU 40 via the output port. The signals output from themotor ECU 40 include, for example, switching control signals to the transistors T11 to T16 of theinverter 41 and the transistors T21 to T26 of theinverter 42 and switching control signals to the transistors T31 and T32 of the step-up/downconverter 55. Themotor ECU 40 is connected with theHVECU 70 via the respective communication ports. Themotor ECU 40 calculates electrical angles θe1 and θe2, angular velocities ωm1 and ωm2 and rotation speeds Nm1 and Nm2 of the respective motors MG1 and MG2, based on the rotational positions θm1 and θm2 of the respective rotors of the motors MG1 and MG2 input from the rotationalposition detection sensors - The
battery 50 is configured as, for example, a lithium ion rechargeable battery or a nickel metal hydride battery having a rated voltage of, for example, 200 V and is connected with the low voltage-side power lines 54 b. Thisbattery 50 is under management of a battery electronic control unit (hereinafter referred to as “battery ECU”) 52. - The
battery ECU 52 is configured as a CPU-based microprocessor and includes a ROM configured to store processing programs, a RAM configured to temporarily store data, input/output ports and a communication port, in addition to the CPU, although not being illustrated. Signals from various sensors required for management of thebattery 50 are input into thebattery ECU 52 via the input port. The signals input into thebattery ECU 52 include, for example, a voltage Vb of thebattery 50 from avoltage sensor 51 a placed between terminals of thebattery 50, an electric current Ib of thebattery 50 from acurrent sensor 51 b mounted to an output terminal of thebattery 50, and a temperature Tb of thebattery 50 from atemperature sensor 51 c mounted to thebattery 50. Thebattery ECU 52 is connected with theHVECU 70 via the respective communication ports. Thebattery ECU 52 calculates a state of charge SOC, based on an integrated value of the electric current Ib of thebattery 50 input from thecurrent sensor 51 b. The state of charge SOC denotes a ratio of the capacity of electric power dischargeable from thebattery 50 to the overall capacity of thebattery 50. - The system
main relay 56 is provided on the battery 50-side of thecapacitor 58 in the low voltage-side power lines 54 b. This systemmain relay 56 is controlled on and off by theHVECU 70 to connect and disconnect thebattery 50 with and from the step-up/down converter 55-side. - The
HVECU 70 is configured as a CPU-based microprocessor and includes a ROM configured to store processing programs, a RAM configured to temporarily store data, input/output ports and a communication port, in addition to the CPU, although not being illustrated. Signals from various sensors are input into theHVECU 70 via the input port. The signals input into theHVECU 70 include, for example, an ignition signal from anignition switch 80 and a shift position SP from ashift position sensor 82 configured to detect an operating position of ashift lever 81. The input signals also include an accelerator position Acc from an acceleratorpedal position sensor 84 configured to detect a depression amount of anaccelerator pedal 83, a brake pedal position BP from a brakepedal position sensor 86 configured to detect a depression amount of abrake pedal 85, and a vehicle speed V from avehicle speed sensor 88. Examples of the shift position SP include a parking position (P position), a reverse position (R position), a neutral position (N position), a drive position (D position) and a brake position (B position). The B position provides an equivalent driving force in an accelerator-on state to the driving force at the D position and a greater driving force in an accelerator-off state than the driving force at the D position. TheHVECU 70 is connected with theengine ECU 24, themotor ECU 40 and thebattery ECU 52 via the respective communication ports as described above. - The
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment having the above configuration sets a required driving force of thedriveshaft 36 based on the accelerator position Acc and the vehicle speed V and controls the operations of theengine 22 and the motors MG1 and MG2 such that a required power meeting the required driving force is output to thedriveshaft 36. Thehybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment may employ, for example, the following three modes (1) to (3) as operation modes of theengine 22 and the motors MG1 and MG2: - (1) torque conversion operation mode that denotes a mode of operating and controlling the
engine 22 such that a power corresponding to the required power is output from theengine 22, and of driving and controlling the motors MG1 and MG2 such that the whole of the power output from theengine 22 is subjected to torque conversion by theplanetary gear 30 and the motors MG1 and MG2 and that the required power is output to thedriveshaft 36; - (2) charge-discharge operation mode that denotes a mode of operating and controlling the
engine 22 such that a power corresponding to the sum of the required power and an electric power required for charging or discharging thebattery 50 is output from theengine 22, and of driving and controlling the motors MG1 and MG2 such that the whole or part of the power output from theengine 22 is subjected to torque conversion by theplanetary gear 30 and the motors MG1 and MG2 accompanied with charging or discharging of thebattery 50 and that the required power is output to thedriveshaft 36; and - (3) motor operation mode that denotes a mode of stopping operation of the
engine 22 and of driving and controlling the motor MG2 such that the required power is output to thedriveshaft 36. - In the event of an abnormality occurring in any of the
inverters inverters 41 and 42 (for example, thecurrent sensors engine 22, thehybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment is driven in an inverter-less drive (emergency drive) with shutting off the gates of theinverters 41 and 42 (i.e., setting off all the transistors T11 to T16 and T21 to T26) and operating theengine 22. - In the inverter-less drive, the
HVECU 70 sets a target rotation speed Nm1* of the motor MG1 and a target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a, such that a reverse voltage Vcef1 generated by rotation of the motor MG1 is higher than the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a. The reverse voltage Vcef1 of the motor MG1 corresponds to the product of the angular velocity ωm1 of the motor MG1 and a reverse voltage constant Km1. - The
HVECU 70 subsequently calculates a target rotation speed Ne* of theengine 22 according to Expression (1) given below using the target rotation speed Nm1* of the motor MG1, the rotation speed Nm2 of the motor MG2 (i.e., a rotation speed Nd of the driveshaft 36) and a gear ratio ρ (number of teeth of the sun gear/number of teeth of the ring gear) of theplanetary gear 30 and sends the calculated target rotation speed Ne* of theengine 22 to theengine ECU 24, while sending the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a to themotor ECU 40. The rotation speed Nm2 of the motor MG2 is calculated based on the rotational position θm2 of the rotor of the motor MG2 detected by the rotationalposition detection sensor 44 and is input from themotor ECU 40 by communication. When receiving the target rotation speed Ne* of theengine 22, theengine ECU 24 performs intake air flow control, fuel injection control and ignition control of theengine 22, such that the rotation speed Ne of theengine 22 becomes equal to the target rotation speed Ne*. When receiving the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a, themotor ECU 40 performs switching control of the transistors T31 and T32 of the step-up/downconverter 55, such that the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a becomes equal to the target voltage VH*. -
Ne*=(Nm1*ρ+Nm2)/(1+ρ) (1) -
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating one example of an alignment chart of theplanetary gear 30 in the inverter-less drive. InFIG. 3 , an S axis on the left side shows the rotation speed of the sun gear of theplanetary gear 30 that is equal to the rotation speed Nm1 of the motor MG1. A C axis shows the rotation speed of the carrier of theplanetary gear 30 that is equal to the rotation speed Ne of theengine 22. An axis R shows the rotation speed of the ring gear of theplanetary gear 30 that is equal to the rotation speed Nm2 of the motor MG2 (and equal to the rotation speed Nd of the driveshaft 36). Expression (1) given above can readily be derived fromFIG. 3 . - In the inverter-less drive, the higher reverse voltage Vcef1 of the motor MG1 than the voltage VH of the high voltage-
side power lines 54 a causes a regenerative torque (reverse torque) Tcef1 to be generated by the motor MG1 and causes a reactive torque (−Tcef1/ρ) of this regenerative torque Tcef1 to be output as a drive torque (forward torque) Td to thedriveshaft 36 and thereby drive thehybrid vehicle 20. More specifically, the regenerative torque Tcef1 of the motor MG1 is generated when the motor MG1 is rotated by the operation of theengine 22 and an electric current (power) corresponding to a difference (Vcef1−VH) between the reverse voltage Vcef1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a is supplied to thebattery 50 via the step-up/down converter 55 (the transistor T31 and the reactor L). An increase of this difference (Vcef1−VH) increases the electric current (power) that is flowed from the motor MG1-side via the step-up/downconverter 55 to the battery 50-side, increases the regenerative torque Tcef1 of the motor MG1, and increases the drive torque Td of thedriveshaft 36. - The following describes operations of the
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment having the above configuration and more specifically a series of operations in the event of an increase in the accelerator position Acc during the inverter-less drive.FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing one example of a processing routine performed by theHVECU 70 in the event of an increase in the accelerator position Acc during the inverter-less drive. - When the processing routine of
FIG. 4 is triggered, theHVECU 70 first obtains the input of the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 and the temperature TL of the reactor L (step S100). The temperature T31 of the transistor T31 is a value that is detected by thetemperature sensor 55 a and that is input from themotor ECU 40 by communication. The temperature TL of the reactor L is a value that is detected by thetemperature sensor 55 b and that is input from themotor ECU 40 by communication. - After the data input, the
HVECU 70 compares the input temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 with a reference value Tswref (step S110) and compares the input temperature TL of the reactor L with a reference value TLref (step S120). The reference value Tswref and the reference value TLref are threshold values used to determine whether the step-up/down converter 55 (more specifically, the transistor T31 and the reactor L) is likely to overheat. The reference value Tswref is determined to be a temperature that is rather lower than an overheat temperature Tswoh of the transistor T31 and may be, for example, 140° C., 150° C. or 160° C. The reference value TLref is determined to be a temperature that is rather lower than an overheat temperature TLoh of the reactor L and may be, for example, 110° C., 120° C. or 130° C. - When the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is lower than the reference value Tswref at step S110 and the temperature TL of the reactor L is lower than the reference value TLref at step S120, the
HVECU 70 determines that the step-up/down converter 55 (the transistor T31 and the reactor L) is not likely to (is sufficiently unlikely to) overheat. TheHVECU 70 then increases the target rotation speed Nm1* of the motor MG1 and decreases the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a (step S130) and terminates this routine. The procedure of the embodiment sets values according to the accelerator position Acc to the target rotation speed Nm1* of the motor MG1 and to the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a. More specifically, a value that increases with an increase in the accelerator position Acc is set to the target rotation speed Nm1* of the motor MG1, and a value that decreases with an increase in the accelerator position Acc is set to the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a. After setting the target rotation speed Nm1* of the motor MG1 and the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a, theHVECU 70 sets the target rotation speed Ne* of theengine 22 according to Expression (1) given above and sends the target rotation speed Ne* of theengine 22 to theengine ECU 24, while sending the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a to themotor ECU 40 as described above. Theengine ECU 24 controls theengine 22 using the target rotation speed Ne* of theengine 22, and themotor ECU 40 controls the step-up/downconverter 55 using the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a. - Increasing the rotation speed Nm1 of the motor MG1 and decreasing the voltage VH of the high voltage-
side power lines 54 a in this manner increases the difference (Vcef1−VH) between the reverse voltage Vcef1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a. This results in increasing the regenerative torque Tcef1 of the motor MG1 and thereby increasing the drive torque Td of thedriveshaft 36. As a result, this increases the drive torque Td of thedriveshaft 36 with an increase in the accelerator position Acc. - When the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is equal to or higher than the reference value Tswref at step S110 or when the temperature TL of the reactor L is equal to or higher than the reference value TLref at step S120, on the other hand, the
HVECU 70 determines that the step-up/down converter 55 (the transistor T31 and the reactor L) is likely to overheat. TheHVECU 70 then keeps the target rotation speed Nm1* of the motor MG1 and the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a unchanged (step S140) and terminates this routine. - Keeping the rotation speed Nm1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-
side power lines 54 a unchanged in this manner keeps the difference (Vcef1−VH) between the reverse voltage Vcef1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a unchanged. This suppresses an increase in electric current (power) that is flowed from the motor MG1-side via the step-up/downconverter 55 to the battery 50-side and suppresses a temperature rise of the step-up/down converter 55 (the transistor T31 and the reactor L). This accordingly suppresses the step-up/downconverter 55 from overheating (more specifically, suppresses the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 from becoming equal to or higher than the overheat temperature Tswoh and suppresses the temperature TL of the reactor L from becoming equal to or higher than the overheat temperature TLoh). As a result, this protects the step-up/downconverter 55. In this state, the regenerative torque Tcef of the motor MG1 and the drive torque Td of thedriveshaft 36 are kept unchanged. - As described above, in the event of an increase in the accelerator position Acc during the inverter-less drive, when the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is equal to or higher than the reference value Tswref or when the temperature TL of the reactor L is equal to or higher than the reference value TLref, the
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment keeps both the rotation speed Nm1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a unchanged and thereby keeps the difference (Vcef1−VH) between the reverse voltage Vcef1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a unchanged. This suppresses an increase in the electric current (power) that is flowed from the motor MG1-side to the battery 50-side and suppresses a temperature rise of the step-up/down converter 55 (temperature rises of the transistor T31 and the reactor L), thereby suppressing the step-up/downconverter 55 from overheating. As a result, this protects the step-up/downconverter 55. - In the event of an increase in the accelerator position Acc during the inverter-less drive, when the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is equal to or higher than the reference value Tswref or when the temperature TL of the reactor L is equal to or higher than the reference value TLref, the
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment keeps both the rotation speed Nm1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a unchanged and thereby keeps the difference (Vcef1−VH) between the reverse voltage Vcef1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a unchanged. A modification may decrease both the rotation speed Nm1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a, in order to keep the difference (Vcef1−VH) unchanged. A decrease in the rotation speed Nm1 of the motor MG1 decreases the rotation speed Ne of theengine 22 and thereby reduces the fuel consumption of theengine 22. A decrease in the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a reduces the loss of the step-up/downconverter 55. This modification accordingly keeps the difference (Vcef1−VH) unchanged, while reducing the fuel consumption of theengine 22 and the loss of the step-up/downconverter 55. - In the event of an increase in the accelerator position Acc during the inverter-less drive, when the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is equal to or higher than the reference value Tswref or when the temperature TL of the reactor L is equal to or higher than the reference value TLref, the
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment keeps the difference (Vcef1−VH) between the reverse voltage Vcef1 of the motor MG1 and the voltage VH of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a unchanged. - In the event of an increase in the accelerator position Acc during the inverter-less drive, a modification may increase the difference (Vcef1−VH) by a smaller increment when the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is equal to or higher than the reference value Tswref or when the temperature TL of the reactor L is equal to or higher than the reference value TLref, compared with the increment of the difference (Vcef1−VH) when the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is lower than the reference value Tswref and the temperature TL of the reactor L is lower than the reference value TLref. The configuration of this modification increases the drive torque Td of the
driveshaft 36 with suppressing the step-up/downconverter 55 from overheating to some extent, compared with a configuration that increases the difference (Vcef1−VH) by an increment equal to the increment of the difference (Vcef1−VH) when the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is lower than the reference value Tswref and the temperature TL of the reactor L is lower than the reference value TLref. - In the event of an increase in the accelerator position Acc during the inverter-less drive, another modification may decrease the difference (Vcef1−VH) when the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 is equal to or higher than the reference value Tswref or when the temperature TL of the reactor L is equal to or higher than the reference value TLref. This configuration more effectively suppresses the step-up/down
converter 55 from overheating. This modification decreases the regenerative torque Tcef of the motor MG1 and thereby decreases the drive torque Td of thedriveshaft 36. - During the inverter-less drive, the
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment regulates the target rotation speed Nm1* (rotation speed Nm1) of the motor MG1 and the target voltage VH* (voltage VH) of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a, so as to adjust the difference (Vcef1−VH), the regenerative torque Tcef1 of the motor MG1 and the drive torque Td of thedriveshaft 36. A modification may keep one of the target rotation speed Nm1* of the motor MG1 and the target voltage VH* of the high voltage-side power lines 54 a unchanged and regulate the other, so as to adjust the difference (Vcef1−VH), the regenerative torque Tcef1 of the motor MG1 and the drive torque Td of thedriveshaft 36. - During the inverter-less drive, the
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment uses the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 and the temperature TL of the reactor L to determine whether the step-up/downconverter 55 is likely to overheat. A modification may use only one of the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 and the temperature TL of the reactor L to determine whether the step-up/downconverter 55 is likely to overheat. Another modification may use, for example, the temperature of a substrate equipped with the transistors T31 and T32 and the diodes D31 and D32, in place of the temperature Tsw of the transistor T31 or the temperature TL of the reactor L, to determine whether the step-up/downconverter 55 is likely to overheat. - The
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment uses thebattery 50 as the power storage device. The power storage device used may, however, be any device that is capable of accumulating electricity, such as a capacitor. - The
hybrid vehicle 20 of the embodiment is provided with theengine ECU 24, themotor ECU 40, thebattery ECU 52 and theHVECU 70. According to a modification, at least two of them may be configured as one single electronic control unit. - In the hybrid vehicle of the above aspect, in the event of the increase in the operation amount of the accelerator during the predetermined drive, when the temperature of the step-up/down converter is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, the control device may control the engine and the step-up/down converter to keep the difference unchanged. This configuration more effectively suppresses the step-up/down converter from overheating.
- In this case, in the event of the increase in the operation amount of the accelerator during the predetermined drive, when the temperature of the step-up/down converter is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, the control device may control the engine and the step-up/down converter to keep a rotation speed of the first motor and the voltage of the high voltage-side power line unchanged, so as to keep the difference unchanged.
