Abstract

See full text

A method and a device are described for starting an internal combustion engine of a hybrid drive train, having an internal combustion engine and at least one additional machine, in particular an electric machine, a separating clutch, which is situated between the internal combustion engine and the additional machine, and a crankshaft angle sensor for detecting the instantaneous crankshaft angle of the internal combustion engine being provided. Arrangements are provided to perform the following operations to start the internal combustion engine when a high-voltage battery is essentially discharged, including a) the separating clutch is or has already been disengaged, b) the additional machine is accelerated, c) after conclusion of the acceleration operation of the additional machine, the separating clutch is engaged, so that the internal combustion engine is also accelerated, d) as soon as the crankshaft angle sensor system supplies a favorable crankshaft angle, the internal combustion engine is started by direct start.
