Patent ID: 8694190

Claim:
A regeneration control device of a hybrid vehicle that includes an engine and an electric motor, that is capable of running by the engine or the electric motor or capable of running by a cooperation between the engine and the electric motor, and that is capable of performing regenerative power generation with the electric motor at least during deceleration, the regeneration control device comprising: a regeneration control unit for detecting a performance of a brake of the hybrid vehicle; wherein the regeneration control device performs: a first regeneration control that is performed in a state in which an accelerator of the hybrid vehicle is in a closed state and a brake pedal is not depressed; a second regeneration control that is performed in a state in which the accelerator of the hybrid vehicle is in the closed state, the brake pedal is depressed, and a detection result of the regeneration control unit is lower than a predetermined value; and a third regeneration control that is performed when the accelerator of the hybrid vehicle is in the closed state and the detection result of the regeneration control unit exceeds the predetermined value, wherein X<Y<Z is provided when an increase rate of regeneration torque in the first regeneration control is set at X(Nm/s), an increase rate of regeneration torque in the second regeneration control is set at Y(Nm/s), and an increase rate of regeneration torque in the third regeneration control is set at Z(Nm/s).
