DRIVE UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18351495 titled 'DRIVE UNIT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a drive unit comprising a transaxle case housing a motor, speed reducer, and differential mechanism, a power control unit for motor control, and a noise filter connected to the motor through the power control unit. The power control unit is integrated with the transaxle case, while the noise filter is separate and integrated with the transaxle case between the power control unit and the motor.
- Drive unit includes motor, speed reducer, and differential mechanism housed in a transaxle case.
- Power control unit integrated with transaxle case for motor control.
- Noise filter connected to motor through power control unit and integrated with transaxle case.
- Motor, speed reducer, and differential mechanism aligned on the same axis inside the transaxle case.
- Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles - Hybrid vehicles - Industrial machinery
- Problems Solved
- Reduction of electromagnetic interference - Integration of components for compact design - Efficient motor control
- Benefits
- Improved performance and efficiency - Reduced noise and interference - Space-saving design
Original Abstract Submitted
A drive unit includes: a transaxle case that houses a motor, a speed reducer, and a differential mechanism; a power control unit that controls the motor; and a noise filter electrically connected to the motor via the power control unit, the power control unit being integrated with the transaxle case, the motor, the speed reducer, and the differential mechanism being disposed on a same axis inside the transaxle case. Further, the power control unit is separate from the noise filter, and the noise filter is integrated with the transaxle case in a state in which at least a part of the noise filter is disposed in space between the power control unit and the motor.
