- the actuator 232 When the start condition is satisfied at time t5, the actuator 232 is first driven after a predetermined time has elapsed. Thereby, the pinion gear 260 is pushed out to the ring gear 110 side. Thereafter, the motor 220 is driven (time t7 in FIG. 3). As a result, the engine 100 is cranked, and the rotational speed Ne of the engine 100 increases as indicated by a dashed curve W2. Thereafter, when engine 100 resumes self-sustaining operation, driving of actuator 232 and motor 220 is stopped.
- the conventional starter cannot rotate the engine 100 independently.
- the time is shorter.
- the engine 100 can be restarted. Thereby, it is possible to reduce a sense of incongruity caused by a delay in engine restart for the driver.
- the operation mode of the starter 200 when the restart request is generated in the above-described region 1 and region 3 is that the engine starts when the start condition that the amount of operation of the brake pedal 150 by the driver is zero is satisfied. Since the operation is the same as when 100 restart requests are generated, detailed description thereof will not be repeated here.
- the rotational speed Ne of the engine 100 is the first reference value. It is between ⁇ 1 and the second reference value ⁇ 2. However, the rotation mode is not selected, and the standby mode is continuously selected. As a result, the engine rotation speed Ne continues to decrease.
- the engagement mode is selected as described with reference to FIG. As a result, first, the actuator 232 is driven. Thereby, the pinion gear 260 is pushed out to the ring gear 110 side. Thereafter, the motor 220 is driven (time t21 in FIG. 4). As a result, the engine 100 is cranked, and the rotational speed Ne of the engine 100 increases as indicated by a dashed curve W3. Thereafter, when engine 100 resumes self-sustaining operation, driving of actuator 232 and motor 220 is stopped.
- the engine 100 start request not caused by the driver's intention to start. Is established.
- the ECU 300 may generate and output a restart request at a point P5 in FIG. 4 where the rotational speed Ne of the engine 100 has decreased to the rotational speed of the engine 100 when the engagement mode is executed.
- FIG. 5 a process executed by ECU 300 to start engine 100 will be described.
- the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is realized by executing a program stored in advance in ECU 300 at a predetermined cycle.
- dedicated hardware electronic circuit
- step S determines in step (hereinafter, step is abbreviated as S) 100 whether engine 100 is requested to be started. That is, it is determined whether or not engine 100 is to be started.
- ECU 300 proceeds to S190 because it corresponds to region 1 in FIG. Select the standby mode.
- ECU 300 When engine speed Ne of engine 100 is equal to or smaller than second reference value ⁇ 2 (YES in S110), ECU 300 further determines whether or not engine speed Ne of engine 100 is equal to or smaller than first reference value ⁇ 1. .
- rotation speed Ne of engine 100 is equal to or lower than first reference value ⁇ 1 (YES in S120), this corresponds to region 1 in FIG. 3, and thus the process proceeds to S145, and ECU 300 selects the engagement mode. . ECU 300 then outputs actuator 232 by outputting control signal SE1 and closing relay RY1. At this time, the motor 220 is not driven.
- ECU 300 determines whether or not start of engine 100 is completed.
- the determination of the completion of the start of the engine 100 is made, for example, by determining whether or not the engine rotation speed is greater than a threshold value ⁇ indicating a self-sustained operation after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of driving the motor 220. Good.
- ECU 300 selects the rotation mode in S142. Then, ECU 300 drives motor 220 by outputting control signal SE2 and closing relay RY2. At this time, the actuator 232 is not driven.
- ECU 300 selects all drive modes in S170. As a result, the actuator 232 is driven, the pinion gear 260 and the ring gear 110 are engaged, and the engine 100 is cranked.
- the engagement mode is selected when the engine 100 is started without causing the driver's intention to start.
- the rotation mode is not selected.
- the frequency with which the pinion 260 is engaged with the ring gear 110 while rotating is reduced. Therefore, the sound that can be generated when the pinion 260 and the ring gear 110 collide with each other can be reduced, and the amount of gear wear can be reduced.
