ELECTRIC DRIVE APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELECTRIC DRIVE APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18258445 titled 'ELECTRIC DRIVE APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELECTRIC DRIVE APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an electric drive apparatus for a vehicle, consisting of a first electric drive, a second electric drive, and a control device. The control device is connected to both electric drives and is designed to determine the operating temperatures of each drive and control the generation of torque on each drive based on the driving situation of the vehicle and/or the operating temperatures.

  • The invention is an electric drive apparatus for vehicles.
  • It includes a first and second electric drive, as well as a control device.
  • The control device is connected to both electric drives.
  • It determines the operating temperatures of each drive.
  • It controls the generation of torque on each drive based on the driving situation and/or operating temperatures.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicles: The electric drive apparatus can be used in electric vehicles to control the torque generation of the electric drives based on the driving situation and operating temperatures.
  • Hybrid vehicles: The electric drive apparatus can be used in hybrid vehicles to control the torque generation of the electric drives in combination with an internal combustion engine.
  • Autonomous vehicles: The control device can be integrated into autonomous vehicles to optimize the torque generation of the electric drives based on the driving situation and operating temperatures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient torque control: The invention allows for precise control of torque generation on each electric drive, optimizing the performance and efficiency of the vehicle.
  • Temperature management: By monitoring and controlling the operating temperatures of the electric drives, the invention ensures that they operate within safe and efficient temperature ranges.
  • Adaptability to driving situations: The control device adjusts the torque generation based on the driving situation, providing the appropriate amount of power for acceleration, deceleration, or maintaining speed.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance: The precise control of torque generation enhances the overall performance of the vehicle, providing better acceleration, handling, and efficiency.
  • Enhanced safety: By monitoring and controlling the operating temperatures, the invention prevents overheating and potential damage to the electric drives, ensuring the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
  • Energy efficiency: The optimized torque generation based on driving situations and operating temperatures improves the energy efficiency of the vehicle, extending its range and reducing energy consumption.
