ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD OF ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18295849 titled 'ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD OF ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electrified vehicle with a motor and transmission, and a control method for the vehicle.
- The vehicle moves forward when in forward gear and backward when in reverse gear, with the motor rotating in the forward direction.
- If the transmission is switched to reverse gear while the vehicle is moving forward, or to forward gear while the vehicle is moving backward, fail-safe control is activated.
- The fail-safe control allows the motor to rotate in reverse, preventing a strong shock from occurring in the vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an electrified vehicle including a motor and a transmission, and a control method thereof. The electrified vehicle is caused to travel forward when forward gear is achieved and the electrified vehicle is caused to travel backward when reverse gear is achieved while the motor is performing forward rotation. When the transmission is switched to reverse gear while the electrified vehicle is traveling forward, or when the transmission is switched to forward gear while the electrified vehicle is traveling backward, fail-safe control to allow reverse rotation of the motor is executed, thereby suppressing a great shock from being generated in the vehicle.
