HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18220175 titled 'HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a hybrid electric vehicle with a transmission that does not have a reverse gear, and a control method to overcome a situation where the connection between the motor and the engine is stuck. The system determines the state of an engine clutch and prevents reverse driving when the clutch is in a specific state, controlling the transmission to be in a neutral position.
- Hybrid electric vehicle with transmission lacking reverse gear
- Control method to overcome stuck motor-engine connection
- Determination of engine clutch state to prevent reverse driving
- Transmission control for neutral position
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in hybrid electric vehicles to improve efficiency and safety by preventing reverse driving in certain conditions.
Problems Solved
1. Overcoming a situation where the connection between the motor and engine is stuck. 2. Preventing reverse driving when the engine clutch is in a specific state.
Benefits
1. Improved safety by preventing reverse driving in certain conditions. 2. Enhanced efficiency in hybrid electric vehicles.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing hybrid electric vehicles for better performance and safety.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing patents or technologies related to transmission control in hybrid vehicles, but specific prior art related to this exact innovation is not known.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control method determine the state of the engine clutch?
The control method likely uses sensors or monitoring systems to detect the position or condition of the engine clutch.
What specific conditions trigger the prevention of reverse driving?
The predetermined conditions that determine whether reverse driving is prevented are not specified in the abstract.
Original Abstract Submitted
A hybrid electric vehicle includes a transmission without a reverse gear and a control method thereof. A situation in which a connection between the motor and the engine is stuck is overcome. When a predetermined condition is met, whether or not an engine clutch is in a specific state is determined. A first driving source is disposed on one end of the engine clutch, and a second driving source is disposed on the other end of the engine clutch. When the engine clutch is in the specific state, reverse driving is prevented. A transmission is controlled to be in a neutral position.
