CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18236140 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control device for a vehicle that includes a battery, two rotary electric machines, power conversion circuits, a capacitor, and a switching unit. The control device is designed to execute discharge control in the event of a predicted collision, which involves interrupting the power supply from the battery, stopping the rotation of the first rotary electric machine if it is rotating, and discharging the electric charge stored in the capacitor.
- The vehicle control device includes:
- Battery
- Two rotary electric machines
- Power conversion circuits
- Capacitor
- Switching unit
- Discharge control is executed in the event of a predicted collision by:
- Interrupting power supply from the battery
- Stopping rotation of the first rotary electric machine
- Discharging electric charge stored in the capacitor
Potential Applications

Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to vehicle safety systems that include discharge control mechanisms in the event of a collision.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control device differentiate between a predicted collision and other events that may trigger discharge control?
The patent application does not provide specific details on how the control device predicts a collision and triggers the discharge control mechanism.
What is the expected impact of the discharge control on the overall performance and efficiency of the vehicle?
The patent application does not elaborate on how the discharge control system may affect the performance and efficiency of the vehicle in normal operating conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control device for a vehicle, the vehicle including: a battery; a first rotary electric machine coupled to an axle; a second rotary electric machine coupled to an internal combustion engine; a first power conversion circuit; a second power conversion circuit; a capacitor connected between the battery and connection portions connecting the first power conversion circuit and the second power conversion circuit in parallel; and a switching unit connected between the battery and the capacitor, the control device executing discharge control when a collision of the vehicle is predicted, and the discharge control includes: opening the switching unit to interrupt the power supply from the battery; stopping rotation of the first rotary electric machine if the first rotary electric machine is rotating; and discharging the electric charge stored in the capacitor.
