CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326586 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation: The control apparatus for a vehicle described in the patent application improves driver operability by switching the vehicle to a freewheeling mode where engine power is not transmitted to drive shafts. The apparatus includes a motor, a battery, friction brake equipment, a temperature sensor, and a determiner to assess the temperature of the friction brake equipment.
- The control apparatus switches the vehicle to a freewheeling mode.
- Friction brake equipment generates braking force when the battery is fully charged.
- A temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the friction brake equipment.
- The freewheeling mode is deactivated if the temperature of the friction brake equipment exceeds a predetermined level while the battery is fully charged.
Key Features and Innovation: - Switches vehicle to freewheeling mode - Monitors temperature of friction brake equipment - Deactivates freewheeling mode if temperature exceeds threshold
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various vehicles to enhance driver control and safety.
Problems Solved: - Improves driver operability - Prevents overheating of friction brake equipment
Benefits: - Enhanced driver control - Increased safety - Prevents potential damage to brake equipment
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include automotive industry for vehicles with advanced control systems.
Questions about Vehicle Control Apparatus: 1. How does the control apparatus improve driver operability? 2. What happens if the temperature of the friction brake equipment exceeds the predetermined level?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in vehicle control systems and safety features to incorporate the latest technologies in this field.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a control apparatus for vehicle that improves operability for a driver. a control apparatus for vehicle switches the vehicle to a freewheeling mode in which power generated by an engine is not transmitted to drive shafts. the control apparatus for vehicle includes: a motor; a battery; friction brake equipment that generates frictional braking force on the vehicle; a temperature sensor that acquires temperature of the friction brake equipment; and a determiner that assesses the temperature of the friction brake equipment acquired by the temperature sensor. the friction brake equipment generates the friction braking force when the battery is fully charged. the freewheeling mode is deactivated in a case where the temperature of the friction brake equipment exceeds a predetermined temperature while the battery is fully charged and the vehicle is in the freewheeling mode.
