CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18455911 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control device for an electric vehicle that includes a motor, driving wheels, and a shifting device operated by the driver. The shifting device can set two shift positions: a traveling position that generates driving force by transmitting the motor's output torque to the driving wheels, and a non-traveling position that does not generate driving force.

  • The controller in the control device causes the motor to output a signal torque when the driver switches the shift position.
  • The signal torque enables the driver to sense a change in the vehicle's behavior that occurs with the switching of the shift position.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicles with improved control and feedback mechanisms for the driver.
  • Enhanced driving experience and safety by providing the driver with a better understanding of the vehicle's behavior during shifting.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of feedback for the driver when switching between shift positions in an electric vehicle.
  • Difficulty in sensing changes in vehicle behavior during shifting.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved driver awareness and control during shifting in an electric vehicle.
  • Enhanced safety by providing the driver with a better understanding of the vehicle's behavior during shifting.


Original Abstract Submitted

In a control device of an electric vehicle including a motor, driving wheels, a shifting device that is operated by a driver and selectively sets one of two shift positions of a traveling position that generates driving force by transmitting output torque of the motor to the driving wheels, and a non-traveling position that does not generate driving force without transmitting the output torque to the driving wheels, a controller causes the motor to output signal torque that enables the driver to sense a change in a vehicle behavior accompanied with switching of the shift position when the driver switches the shift position.
