ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246405 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE
The abstract describes an electric vehicle with a mechanical-electrical integrated unit located adjacent to an engine with a supercharger. An air cleaner is positioned on one side of the integrated unit, away from the engine, and an intake pipe includes a section between the air cleaner and the supercharger, located above the integrated unit.
- The electric vehicle houses a mechanical-electrical integrated unit next to the engine, which includes a driving apparatus and an electric-power control device.
- An air cleaner is situated on one side of the integrated unit, away from the engine, in the width direction of the vehicle.
- The intake pipe includes a portion located above the integrated unit in the vertical direction of the vehicle, straddling the integrated unit in the width direction.
- The positioning of the air cleaner and intake pipe optimizes air intake efficiency for the supercharger, enhancing overall vehicle performance.
- This design allows for a compact and efficient layout of components in the electric vehicle.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle manufacturing - Automotive engineering - Sustainable transportation technology development
Problems Solved: - Efficient air intake for supercharger - Compact integration of mechanical-electrical components in electric vehicles
