POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17708906 titled 'POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a power transmission apparatus for an electric vehicle. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The apparatus includes a motor shaft connected to a drive motor, a first input shaft, and a second input shaft.
  • The first and second input shafts can be selectively connected to the motor shaft.
  • There are front and rear wheel driving devices for driving the front and rear wheels of the vehicle.
  • A first shifting section can shift the torque of the first input shaft and transmit it to the front wheel driving device.
  • A second shifting section can shift the torque of the second input shaft and output it.
  • A mode conversion unit transfers the output torque of the second shifting section to either the front wheel driving device or the rear wheel driving device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicles: The power transmission apparatus can be used in electric vehicles to efficiently transfer torque from the motor to the wheels.
  • Hybrid vehicles: The apparatus can also be applied in hybrid vehicles to optimize power distribution between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient power transmission: The apparatus allows for selective connection and shifting of torque, ensuring efficient power transmission from the motor to the wheels.
  • Flexibility in power distribution: The mode conversion unit enables the transfer of torque to either the front or rear wheel driving devices, providing flexibility in power distribution based on driving conditions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance: The selective connection and shifting of torque optimize power transmission, resulting in improved vehicle performance.
  • Enhanced control: The flexibility in power distribution allows for better control of the vehicle, enhancing safety and handling.
  • Energy efficiency: The efficient power transmission reduces energy loss, resulting in improved energy efficiency and longer driving range for electric vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

A power transmission apparatus of an electric vehicle includes a motor shaft fixed to a drive motor and receiving the torque of the drive motor, a first input shaft disposed on a same axis with and selectively connectable to the motor shaft, a second input shaft coaxially disposed with the first input shaft, and selectively connectable to the motor shaft, front and rear wheel driving devices for driving front and wheels, a first shifting section for shifting a torque of the first input shaft and selectively transmit the shifted torque to the front wheel driving device, a second shifting section for shifting a torque of the second input shaft and selectively output the shifted torque, and a mode conversion unit of transferring an output torque of the second shifting section to at least one of the front wheel driving device and the rear wheel driving device.
