ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18626842 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system in an electric vehicle that controls the torque of the electric motor based on the operation of the accelerator pedal, pseudo-clutch pedal, and pseudo-shifter. It also includes a pedal reaction force generator that responds to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal.

• The controller uses the MT vehicle model to control the torque of the electric motor.
• The system includes a pedal reaction force generator that generates a pedal reaction force in response to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal.
• The controller stores the pedal reaction force characteristic based on the operation of the clutch pedal.
• The stored pedal reaction force characteristic is used to control the pedal reaction force output in response to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal.

Key Features and Innovation

• Control of torque in the electric motor based on accelerator pedal, pseudo-clutch pedal, and pseudo-shifter.

Questions about Electric Vehicle Torque Control System

How does the pedal reaction force generator enhance the driving experience in electric vehicles?

The pedal reaction force generator simulates the characteristic of the pedal reaction force, providing a more realistic feel to the driver when operating the pseudo-clutch pedal.

What are the key components of the system that enable torque control in the electric motor?

The system utilizes the MT vehicle model, accelerator pedal, pseudo-clutch pedal, and pseudo-shifter to control the torque of the electric motor effectively.

Original Abstract Submitted

The controller of the electric vehicle is configured to control the torque of the electric motor using the MT vehicle model based on the operation amount of the accelerator pedal, the operation amount of the pseudo-clutch pedal, and the shift position of the pseudo-shifter. The electric vehicle also includes a pedal reaction force generator that generates a pedal reaction force in response to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal using by the operating of the reaction force actuator. The controller is configured to store the pedal reaction force characteristic simulating the characteristic of the pedal reaction force according to the operation of the clutch pedal. Then, the controller is configured to control the pedal reaction force output by the pedal reaction force generator in response to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal using the stored pedal reaction force characteristic.
