Abstract
This grille shutter control device controls opening and closing of a grille shutter, taking into account not only the cooling performance of a vehicle, but also other performance aspects. The grille shutter control device is a grille shutter control device for controlling opening and closing of a grille shutter in a vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine, wherein a control device includes: a logic selecting unit for selecting one logic from among a plurality of opening degree determining logics for determining an opening degree of a grille shutter, on the basis of an atmospheric temperature inside an exhaust pipe (K1) of an engine; and a logic executing unit for controlling opening and closing of the grille shutter by executing the one logic selected by the logic selecting unit.
Claims4
A grille-shutter control apparatus that controls opening and closing of a grille shutter of a vehicle in which an internal combustion engine is mounted, the grille-shutter control apparatus comprising:
- a logic selection section that selects one logic from among a plurality of opening-degree determination logics based on a temperature of an atmosphere inside an exhaust pipe of the internal combustion engine, the plurality of opening-degree determination logics being for determining an opening degree of the grille shutter;
- and
- a logic execution section that controls the opening and closing of the grille shutter by executing the one logic selected by the logic selection section.
