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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240116488 titled 'HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a hybrid electric vehicle with a transmission that does not have a reverse gear, and a control method to overcome 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.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:

- Hybrid electric vehicle with a transmission lacking a reverse gear - Control method to address stuck connection between motor and engine - Determination of engine clutch state to prevent reverse driving - Transmission control to maintain neutral position

Potential applications of this technology

The technology can be applied in various hybrid electric vehicles to improve efficiency and safety by preventing reverse driving in specific conditions.

Problems solved by this technology

1. Overcoming situations where the connection between the motor and engine is stuck. 2. Preventing reverse driving when the engine clutch is in a specific state.

Benefits of this technology

1. Improved safety by avoiding reverse driving in critical conditions. 2. Enhanced efficiency by controlling the transmission to be in a neutral position when needed.

Potential commercial applications of this technology

Optimizing hybrid electric vehicles for better performance and safety in various industries such as automotive manufacturing and transportation services.

Possible prior art

There may be existing patents or technologies related to hybrid electric vehicle transmissions and control methods, but specific prior art is not provided in this context.

Unanswered questions

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

The control method likely uses sensors or monitoring systems to detect the specific state of the engine clutch and prevent reverse driving accordingly.

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

The patent application does not specify the exact conditions that determine when reverse driving is prevented, leaving room for further clarification on this aspect of the technology.


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.
