CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18158134 Titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method to reduce engine vibration in a vehicle by increasing the torque of a rear electric motor when the required drive force of the engine reaches a certain level that could damage the engine mount. By increasing the torque of the electric motor, the required drive force of the engine can be reduced, resulting in less strain on the engine mount and reduced engine vibration transmitted to the vehicle body.
Original Abstract Submitted
When a required drive force of an engine becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value that deteriorates the characteristics of an engine mount, torque serving as a required drive amount of a rear electric motor is increased, so that the required drive force of the engine can be reduced. As a result, crushing of the engine mount that supports the engine is reduced, so that engine vibration transmitted to a vehicle body via the engine mount can be reduced.
