METHOD OF CONTROLLING TOWING MODE OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18065404 titled 'METHOD OF CONTROLLING TOWING MODE OF VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a method for controlling the towing mode of a vehicle. - The method allows the motor of the towed vehicle to output a charging torque to charge its battery. - The method also allows the motor of the towed vehicle to output a creep torque or regenerative braking torque to charge the battery during deceleration. - The method includes a compensation control that increases the engine output power of the towing vehicle compared to default output power during acceleration and constant speed traveling. - The method offers three towing modes: eco-towing mode, power towing mode, and target charging towing mode. - The towing vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle, while the towed vehicle can be an electric vehicle or a hybrid electric vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a method of controlling a towing mode of an vehicle, which may easily charge a battery of a towed vehicle by allowing a motor of the towed vehicle to output a charging torque for charging the battery and allowing a motor of the towed vehicle to output a creep torque or a regenerative braking torque capable of charging the battery even upon deceleration traveling together with a compensation control of increasing engine output power of a towing vehicle compared to default output power upon acceleration and constant speed traveling by selecting one of an eco-towing mode, a power towing mode, and a target charging towing mode for charging the battery of the towed vehicle when the towing vehicle, which is a hybrid electric vehicle, tows the towed vehicle, which is an electric vehicle or a hybrid electric vehicle.
