HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240110529 titled 'HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system where the fuel supply device is controlled based on different scenarios when the vehicle is stopped, removal of deposits is required, and forced charging of a power storage device is being performed. The controller adjusts the fuel supply pressure accordingly to optimize the vehicle's performance.

  • The controller adjusts the fuel supply pressure to the first fuel pressure when the vehicle is stopped and removal of deposits is not required.
  • The controller increases the fuel supply pressure to a second fuel pressure higher than the first when the vehicle is stopped, and removal of deposits is required, and forced charging of the power storage device is being performed.
  • The controller sets the fuel supply pressure to a third fuel pressure higher than the first and lower than the second when the vehicle is stopped, removal of deposits is required, and forced charging of the power storage device is not being performed.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in vehicles to optimize fuel efficiency and engine performance based on different operating conditions.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in maintaining optimal fuel supply pressure in vehicles, ensuring efficient operation and reducing the risk of engine damage.

Benefits

- Improved fuel efficiency - Enhanced engine performance - Reduced maintenance costs

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Fuel Supply Pressure in Vehicles for Improved Performance and Efficiency"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing patents or technologies related to fuel supply pressure control in vehicles, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the controller determine the appropriate fuel supply pressure in each scenario?

The patent application does not detail the specific algorithms or sensors used by the controller to adjust the fuel supply pressure.

Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations to this system?

The abstract does not mention any potential drawbacks or limitations of the technology, such as increased complexity or cost of implementation.


Original Abstract Submitted

when the vehicle is stopped and removal of deposits is not required, and forced charging of a power storage device is not being performed, the controller controls the fuel supply device so that a supply fuel pressure is at the first fuel pressure. when the vehicle is stopped and the removal of deposits is required, and the forced charging of the power storage device is being performed, the controller controls the fuel supply device so that the supply fuel pressure is at a second fuel pressure higher than the first fuel pressure. when the vehicle is stopped and the removal of deposits is required, and the forced charging of the power storage device is not being performed, the controller controls the fuel supply device so that the supply fuel pressure is at a third fuel pressure higher than the first fuel pressure and lower than the second fuel pressure.
