Control apparatus for internal combustion engine

When a start condition is satisfied after the internal combustion engine has been stopped according to an automatic stop control, a control apparatus reversely rotates the engine to compress an air in an expansion stroke cylinder at that time point, and thereafter generates a first time combustion. The apparatus determines whether the start condition becomes satisfied based on a first start request owing to a driving operation by a driver of a vehicle on which the engine is mounted. When the start condition becomes satisfied based on the first start request, the control apparatus makes a maximum value of an engine generating torque by the first time combustion and/or a maximum torque of the engine generating torque by a second time combustion larger as compared to when the start condition becomes satisfied based on a second start request other than the first start request.

A control apparatus is applied to a hybrid vehicle. The hybrid vehicle includes an MG which is connected with an input shaft of a manual transmission via a first clutch that is operated by a press operation to a clutch pedal and an internal combustion engine which is connected with the MG via a second clutch. The hybrid vehicle is allowed to execute an EV traveling mode where: the internal combustion engine is stopped; the internal combustion engine and drive wheels are separated by the second clutch; and the drive wheels are driven by the MG. In the control apparatus, when the EV traveling mode is executed, a required torque is obtained based on an accelerator opening degree, and a required transmission torque is obtained based on an operation amount to the clutch pedal. And, when a smaller one of the required torque and the required transmission torque is greater than a determination value, the internal combustion engine is started.

Hybrid vehicle

A power transmission control device, which is applied to a hybrid-vehicle provided with an internal combustion engine (E/G) and a motor (M/G) as power sources, includes a manual transmission and a friction clutch. When the shift position is in 'neutral', the friction clutch is in an engaged state, an accelerator opening is '0', and a battery remaining amount SOC is less than a threshold TH, a charge condition is satisfied. When the charge condition is satisfied, charge of a battery by using an E/G torque is carried out. Specifically, the M/G is driven, by using the E/G torque, as an electrical power generator, and electric energy acquired by electric power generation by the M/G is used to charge the battery. As a result, for the HV-MT vehicle, by using the internal-combustion-engine torque, the battery for supplying the electric motor with the electric energy can be efficiently charged.
