Patent ID: 8914172

Claim:
A control device for a hybrid motor comprising an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, which are connected via a clutch, the control device comprising: a temperature detection unit configured to detect a temperature of an exhaust gas purification catalyst interposed in an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine; and an internal combustion engine control unit configured to: stop the internal combustion engine when a predetermined deceleration condition is established, maintain a rotation of the internal combustion engine with a fuel cut when the temperature of the exhaust gas purification catalyst is higher than a first predetermined temperature, which is higher than an activity start temperature of the exhaust gas purification catalyst, even if the predetermined deceleration condition is established, and maintain the rotation of the internal combustion engine without the fuel cut when the temperature of the exhaust gas purification catalyst is higher than a second predetermined temperature, which is higher than the first predetermined temperature.
