Abstract

A motor control device according to an embodiment includes a hardware processor configured to: calculate a first torsion torque generated by a motor shaft according to fluctuation of an engine torque based on a difference between a motor angle as a rotation angle of the motor shaft and a shaft angle as a rotation angle of a transmission shaft of a transmission on the downstream side of a damper; calculate a first vibration damping torque to be output by a motor generator to damp vibration of the motor shaft based on the first torsion torque and a drive state value indicating a drive state of an engine; and output a motor torque command value to be provided to the motor generator based on the first vibration damping torque.

First claim

1 . A motor control device for a vehicle including: an engine and a motor generator each serving as a power source; a transmission that transfers, to wheels, a driving torque based on at least one of an engine torque of a crankshaft of the engine and a motor torque of a motor shaft of the motor generator at a selected change gear ratio; and a damper that is provided between the engine and the transmission and reduces vibration of the crankshaft by using an elastic member, the motor control device comprising a hardware processor configured to:
calculate a first torsion torque generated by the motor shaft according to fluctuation of the engine torque based on a difference between a motor angle as a rotation angle of the motor shaft and a shaft angle as a rotation angle of a transmission shaft of the transmission on a downstream side of the damper; calculate a first vibration damping torque to be output by the motor generator to damp vibration of the motor shaft based on the first torsion torque and a drive state value indicating a drive state of the engine; and output a motor torque command value to be provided to the motor generator based on the first vibration damping torque.

2 . The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:
calculate a second torsion torque generated by the damper according to fluctuation of the engine torque based on a difference between a crank angle as a rotation angle of the crankshaft and the shaft angle; and calculate a second vibration damping torque to be output by the motor generator to damp vibration of the damper based on the second torsion torque and the drive state value of the engine, wherein the hardware processor is configured to output the motor torque command value to be provided to the motor generator based on at least one of the first vibration damping torque and the second vibration damping torque according to a number of rotations of the engine.

3 . The motor control device according to claim 2 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to acquire switching gains of the first vibration damping torque and the second vibration damping torque according to the number of rotations of the engine, and output the motor torque command value based on the first vibration damping torque and the motor torque command value based on the second vibration damping torque, according to the switching gains.

4 . The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the drive state value is determined based on the number of rotations of the engine and a load factor of the engine.

5 . The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to: output the motor torque command value in a case where a clutch provided between the engine and the transmission is in a connection state in which the crankshaft and the transmission shaft are connected to each other; and output the motor torque command value that makes the motor torque zero in a case where the clutch is in a disconnection state in which the crankshaft and the transmission shaft are disconnected from each other or in a case where an acceleration operation of accelerating the vehicle is not performed when the clutch is in the connection state.
