The present invention relates to a control device that controls a vehicle drive device in which a rotary electric machine is provided in a power transfer path that connects between an internal combustion engine and wheels and in which a first friction engagement device is provided between the internal combustion engine and the rotary electric machine and a second friction engagement device is provided between the rotary electric machine and the wheels.

Control device

A control device that controls a drive device for a power transfer path, the control device configured with a loss torque estimation section that estimates the value of loss torque due to drag resistance of a first engagement device, with the first engagement device in a disengaged state. A specific-slip hydraulic pressure control section sets a hydraulic pressure to be supplied to a second engagement device such that a transfer torque capacity of the second engagement device becomes a capacity corresponding to estimated input torque, which is determined as a difference between output torque of the rotary electric machine and the estimated loss torque. This is performed in the event that specific slip control, in which the second engagement device is controlled to a slip state from a state with the first engagement device in the disengaged state and with the second engagement device in a completely engaged state, is executed.

A control device that controls a vehicle drive device, including a rotary electric machine and internal combustion engine that drive wheels, a first friction engagement device and a second friction engagement device. The control device is configured to execute rotational state control in which a rotational state of the rotary electric machine is controlled so as to establish a target rotational state with the second friction engagement device in a slip engagement state, and hydraulic pressure regulation control in which a hydraulic pressure supplied to the second friction engagement device is controlled on the basis of torque of the rotary electric machine produced during the rotational state control after the first friction engagement device is transitioned to a direct engagement state while the second friction engagement device is transitioned from the slip engagement state to a direct engagement state.

A control device for controlling a vehicle drive device includes a rotary electric machine in a transmission path connecting a combustion engine with wheels; a first friction engagement device between the combustion engine and the rotary machine; and a second friction engagement device between the rotary machine and wheels. The control device shifts the first and second engagement devices from a state in which the first engagement device is disengaged and the second engagement device is in direct engagement so that force is transmitted between the rotary machine and wheels, to a state in which force is transmitted at least between the combustion engine and wheels, by shifting the second engagement device from direct engagement to a slip state and thereafter shifting the first engagement device from disengaged to engaged. After the state is changed, the control device shifts the second engagement device from slip engagement to direct engagement.
