Hybrid vehicle and control method of hybrid vehicle
First Claim
1. A hybrid vehicle comprisingan engine,a first motor,a planetary gear mechanism including three rotary elements, the three rotary elements being connected to three shafts respectively, the three shaft being an output shaft of the engine, a rotary shaft of the first motor, and a drive shaft connected to an axle,a second motor configured to input and output a power to and from the drive shaft,a battery configured to exchange electric power with the first motor and the second motor, andas a result of an electronic control unit determining that a brake of the hybrid vehicle is turned on during travel of the hybrid vehicle, the electronic control unit configured to:
- set a required braking force required for the drive shaft based on a brake depression amount;
set a base rotation speed of the engine based on the required braking force;
set a shift stage based on the base rotation speed and a vehicle speed;
set a target rotation speed of the engine based on the shift stage and the vehicle speed; and
control the engine, the first motor, and the second motor such that the engine operates at the target rotation speed and the required braking force acts on the drive shaft.

Abstract
When a brake is turned on during travel of a hybrid vehicle, a required braking force required for a drive shaft is set based on a brake depression amount, a base rotation speed of an engine is set based on the required braking force, a shift stage is set based on the base rotation speed and a vehicle speed, a target rotation speed of the engine is set based on the shift stage and the vehicle speed, and the engine, the first motor, and the second motor are controlled such that the engine operates at the target rotation speed and the required braking force acts on the drive shaft.

12. A control method of a hybrid vehicle, the hybrid vehicle including an engine, a first motor, a planetary gear mechanism including three rotary elements, a second motor, a battery, and an electronic control unit,
the three rotary elements being connected to three shafts respectively, the three shafts being an output shaft of the engine, a rotary shaft of the first motor, and a drive shaft connected to an axle, the second motor being configured to input and output a power to and from the drive shaft, the battery being configured to exchange electric power with the first motor and the second motor, the control method comprising determining, by the electronic control unit, whether or not a brake of the hybrid vehicle is turned on during travel of the hybrid vehicle, as a result of the electronic control unit determining that the brake is turned on, the control method further comprising: -
setting, by the electronic control unit, a required braking force required for the drive shaft based on a brake depression amount; setting, by the electronic control unit, a base rotation speed of the engine based on the required braking force; setting, by the electronic control unit, a shift stage based on the base rotation speed and a vehicle speed; setting, by the electronic control unit, a target rotation speed of the engine based on the shift stage and the vehicle speed; and controlling, by the electronic control unit, the engine, the first motor, and the second motor such that the engine operates at the target rotation speed and the required braking force acts on the drive shaft.
