POWERTRAIN FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240100929 titled 'POWERTRAIN FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The powertrain apparatus for an electric vehicle described in the abstract consists of a planetary gear set with three rotation elements, two motors connected to different rotation elements of the gear set, a differential engaged to one of the rotation elements, and a synchronizer for selective connection and disconnection between the motors and rotation elements.

  • Planetary gear set with three rotation elements
  • First motor connected to one rotation element
  • Differential engaged to another rotation element
  • Second motor connected to the third rotation element
  • Synchronizer for selective connection/disconnection between motors and rotation elements

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in electric vehicles to optimize power distribution and improve efficiency.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently distributing power between the motors and differential in an electric vehicle.

Benefits

The powertrain apparatus enhances the performance and efficiency of electric vehicles by effectively managing power distribution.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Power Distribution in Electric Vehicles"

Possible Prior Art
