HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18220175 titled 'HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a hybrid electric vehicle with a transmission that lacks a reverse gear and a control method to address a situation where the connection between the motor and engine is stuck. The system determines the state of the engine clutch and prevents reverse driving when the clutch is in a specific state, controlling the transmission to be in a neutral position.

  • Transmission without a reverse gear
  • Control method for stuck motor-engine connection
  • Determination of engine clutch state
  • Prevention of reverse driving when clutch is in specific state
  • Transmission control for neutral position

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in hybrid electric vehicles to improve efficiency and safety by preventing reverse driving when the engine clutch is in a specific state.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the issue of reverse driving when the engine clutch is stuck in a specific state, enhancing the overall performance and reliability of hybrid electric vehicles.

Benefits

- Improved safety by preventing reverse driving in certain conditions - Enhanced efficiency in controlling the transmission for optimal performance - Increased reliability of hybrid electric vehicles

Potential Commercial Applications

"Hybrid Electric Vehicle Transmission Control System for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to transmission control systems in hybrid vehicles, but specific information on a similar technology is not provided in this abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the control method determine the state of the engine clutch?

The abstract does not detail the specific mechanism or sensors used to determine the state of the engine clutch.

What are the specific conditions that trigger the prevention of reverse driving?

The abstract does not specify the exact predetermined condition that leads to the prevention of reverse driving when the engine clutch is in a specific state.


Original Abstract Submitted

A hybrid electric vehicle includes a transmission without a reverse gear and a control method thereof. A situation in which a connection between the motor and the engine is stuck is overcome. When a predetermined condition is met, whether or not an engine clutch is in a specific state is determined. A first driving source is disposed on one end of the engine clutch, and a second driving source is disposed on the other end of the engine clutch. When the engine clutch is in the specific state, reverse driving is prevented. A transmission is controlled to be in a neutral position.
