CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262337 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE
The abstract describes a control device for a hybrid vehicle that includes a motor and an internal combustion engine as power sources. The device includes a diagnosis unit to diagnose a component of the hybrid vehicle during fuel cut of the internal combustion engine, an estimation unit to estimate the time required for diagnosis, an upper limit setting unit to set a time limit for fuel cut execution, and a motor control unit to control the motor.
- The control device is designed to diagnose components of a hybrid vehicle while the internal combustion engine is in fuel cut mode.
- An estimation unit calculates the time needed for diagnosis by the diagnosis unit.
- An upper limit setting unit establishes a maximum time for the fuel cut operation.
- The motor control unit manages the motor during the diagnostic process.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for hybrid vehicles - Vehicle diagnostics and maintenance services
Problems Solved: - Efficient diagnosis of hybrid vehicle components - Optimal control of power sources during diagnostic procedures
Benefits: - Improved maintenance and troubleshooting for hybrid vehicles - Enhanced performance and reliability of hybrid powertrains
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Hybrid Vehicle Diagnostic Control System" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, service centers, and diagnostic equipment providers to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of hybrid vehicle maintenance and diagnostics.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control device optimize the diagnostic process for hybrid vehicles? 2. What are the key advantages of diagnosing components during fuel cut of the internal combustion engine?
Original Abstract Submitted
in a control device for a hybrid vehicle including a motor and an internal combustion engine as power sources, the control device includes a diagnosis unit configured to diagnose a component of the hybrid vehicle during fuel cut of the internal combustion engine, an estimation unit configured to estimate a time required for diagnosis by the diagnosis unit, an upper limit setting unit configured to set an upper limit of a time during which the fuel cut is executed, and a motor control unit configured to control the motor.
