Abstract:
A control apparatus of a hybrid car comprising:an engine for outputting a driving force of a car; a clutch connected with an output shaft of said engine including a pair of engaging elements for connecting or disconnecting the input side and the output side of the shaft for transmitting the driving power; a driving wheel connected to the output of the clutch; a motor connected to the driving wheel for outputting the driving force of the car and which can be actuated as a regenerative brake; an electric double layer capacitor for supplying an electric power to said motor when the motor outputs the driving power, and for storing by the electric power generated by said motor when said motor is actuated as a regenerative brake; a switching device for connecting or disconnecting said electric double layer capacity and said motor; a voltage detecting device for detecting a terminal voltage of said electric double layer capacitor; and a control device for controlling said clutch and said switching device in response to the terminal voltage detected by said voltage detecting device; wherein, while the motor is actuated as the regenerative brake, when the terminal voltage detected by said voltage detecting device exceeds a predetermined standard value, said control device disconnects a connection between the electric double layer capacitor and the motor by said switching device and connects said pair of engaging elements included in said clutch.
