Power Train for Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17830728 titled 'Power Train for Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an embodiment power train for a vehicle that includes multiple input shafts, an output shaft, a transmission gear set, a shifting unit, and a motor-side transfer gear set.
- The power train includes a first input shaft that receives rotating forces from a first motor and an engine, and a second input shaft that receives a rotating force from a second motor.
- An output shaft is positioned parallel to the first and second input shafts.
- A transmission gear set is engaged with and coupled to the first input shaft and the output shaft, and it consists of multiple gear sets with different gear ratios.
- A shifting unit is responsible for selecting a gear set from the transmission gear set based on the vehicle's traveling speed.
- A motor-side transfer gear set is engaged with and coupled to the second input shaft and the output shaft.
Potential Applications
- This power train technology can be applied to various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
- It can be used in both conventional internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles.
Problems Solved
- The power train provides a more efficient and flexible way of transferring power from the engine and motors to the wheels.
- The ability to select different gear ratios based on the vehicle's speed allows for optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
Benefits
- The power train offers improved power distribution and control, resulting in enhanced vehicle performance.
- The ability to engage different gear ratios based on the vehicle's speed allows for smoother acceleration and better fuel economy.
- This technology can be integrated into existing vehicle designs without significant modifications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment power train for a vehicle includes a first input shaft configured to receive rotating forces from a first motor and an engine, a second input shaft configured to receive a rotating force from a second motor, an output shaft disposed in parallel with the first input shaft and the second input shaft, a transmission gear set in which a plurality of gear sets having different gear ratios are engaged with and coupled to the first input shaft and the output shaft, a shifting unit configured to select a gear set of the plurality of gear sets based on a traveling speed of the vehicle, and a motor-side transfer gear set engaged with and coupled to the second input shaft and the output shaft.
