ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278632 titled 'ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system with two drive devices for a vehicle, each consisting of motors connected to the wheels via gear units and oil pumps.
- The first drive device includes a first motor connected to the left front wheel and a second motor connected to the right front wheel, each via a gear unit.
- A first oil pump is connected to either the first gear unit or the second gear unit.
- The second drive device includes a third motor connected to the left rear wheel and a fourth motor connected to the right rear wheel, each via a gear unit.
- A second oil pump is connected to either the third gear unit or the fourth gear unit.
- One oil pump is connected to the first gear unit or the third gear unit, while the other oil pump is connected to the second gear unit or the fourth gear unit.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Dual drive devices with motors and gear units for each wheel.
- Oil pumps connected to gear units for efficient lubrication.
- Independent control of front and rear wheels for improved performance.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and off-road vehicles.
Problems Solved: This system addresses the need for precise control and efficient power distribution in multi-motor vehicles.
Benefits:
- Enhanced traction and stability.
- Improved maneuverability and control.
- Increased efficiency and performance.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include electric car manufacturers, autonomous vehicle companies, and off-road vehicle manufacturers.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on multi-motor vehicle systems and drive mechanisms.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring advancements in motor control algorithms, gear unit design, and oil pump efficiency for similar systems.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this system compare to traditional single-motor vehicle systems? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating this technology into existing vehicle designs?
