ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300349 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an electric vehicle with a mechanical-electrical integrated unit that houses a drive apparatus and an electric-power control apparatus in the same casing. The drive apparatus consists of a first electric motor, a second electric motor, and a transmission device. The electric-power control apparatus manages the electric power transmitted and received by the motors. The upper casing portion houses the electric-power control apparatus, while the lower casing portion houses the drive apparatus.
- The electric vehicle includes a mechanical-electrical integrated unit with a drive apparatus and an electric-power control apparatus in the same casing.
- The drive apparatus comprises a first electric motor, a second electric motor, and a transmission device.
- The electric-power control apparatus regulates the electric power for the motors.
- The upper casing portion houses the electric-power control apparatus, while the lower casing portion houses the drive apparatus.
- The second electric motor's stator core has fastened portions, with one positioned to overlap the upper casing portion vertically and be located on the front side of the motor's axis in the vehicle's longitudinal direction.
