Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A start control device is a start control device that controls start of a vehicle including a clutch that is engaged by the hydraulic pressure supplied from a hydraulic pressure supply source and a start device that starts a vehicle driving source, and includes: a hydraulic pressure control unit that controls so that the hydraulic pressure supply source supplies the hydraulic pressure to the clutch if a start condition for the vehicle is satisfied; and a start device control unit that controls the start device so that the rotation speed of the vehicle driving source reaches the predetermined rotation speed after the clutch is engaged.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A start control device configured to control start of a vehicle, the vehicle including a clutch that is engaged by a hydraulic pressure supplied from a hydraulic pressure supply source and a start device that starts a vehicle driving source, the start control device comprising: a hydraulic pressure control unit configured to control in a manner that the hydraulic pressure supply source supplies the hydraulic pressure to the clutch if a start condition for the vehicle is satisfied; and a start device control unit configured to control the start device in a manner that a rotation speed of the vehicle driving source reaches a predetermined rotation speed after the clutch is engaged, wherein the predetermined rotation speed is a rotation speed at which it is possible that a clutch slip occurs when the clutch is engaged. 2. A start control device configured to control start of a vehicle, the vehicle including a clutch that is engaged by a hydraulic pressure supplied from a hydraulic pressure supply source and a start device that starts a vehicle driving source, the start control device comprising: a hydraulic pressure control unit configured to control in a manner that the hydraulic pressure supply source supplies the hydraulic pressure to the clutch if a start condition for the vehicle is satisfied; and a start device control unit configured to control the start device in a manner that a rotation speed of the vehicle driving source reaches a predetermined rotation speed after the clutch is engaged, wherein a first time corresponding to a time after a start command is input from the start device control unit to the start device and before the rotation speed of the vehicle driving source reaches the predetermined rotation speed is shorter than a second time corresponding to a time after supply of the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pressure supply source to the clutch is started and before the clutch is engaged. 3. The start control device according to claim 2 , wherein the start device control unit delays a timing that the start command is input to the start device, by a predetermined time with respect to a timing that the start condition for the vehicle is satisfied, the predetermined time corresponding to a time obtained by subtracting the first time from the second time. 4. The start control device according to claim 1 , wherein the start device control unit supplies the start command to the start device after the clutch is engaged. 5. The start control device according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic pressure supply source is an accumulator configured to accumulate the hydraulic pressure generated by an oil pump. 6. The start control device according to claim 1 , wherein the start device is an integrated starter generator configured to generate power additionally. 7. The start control device according to claim 1 , wherein the start of the vehicle driving source is restart of the vehicle driving source that is automatically stopped when a predetermined stop condition is satisfied. 8. A start control method for controlling start of a vehicle, the vehicle including a clutch that is engaged by a hydraulic pressure supplied from a hydraulic pressure supply source and a start device that starts a vehicle driving source, the start control method comprising: a step of supplying the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pressure supply source to the clutch if a start condition for the vehicle is satisfied; and a step of controlling the start device in a manner that a rotation speed of the vehicle driving source reaches a predetermined rotation speed after the clutch is engaged, wherein the predetermined rotation speed is a rotation speed at which it is possible that a clutch slip occurs when the clutch is engaged.
