  • Publication number: 20240109427
    Abstract: An electric vehicle control device that controls a vehicle traveling via a transmission coupled to a plurality of electric motors as a drive source, the electric vehicle control device including: a controller configured to control a first electric motor and a second electric motor that are in contact with a first transmission and a second transmission incorporating a liquid medium, respectively, in which in a heating period in which the first transmission or the second transmission is heated, the controller drives and controls one of the first electric motor and the second electric motor with a powering torque obtained by increasing a heating component torque to a required torque of the electric motor, and controls an other of the first electric motor and the second electric motor with a torque obtained by subtracting the heating component torque from the required torque of the electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20220234568
    Abstract: Limiting torque of a motor to avoid its overheating results in switching to engine-driven traveling, thus leading to lower fuel efficiency, which is a problem. FIG. 5(D) shows the torque of the motor 1. When finding that the difference ?Em between the power consumption rates is larger than the threshold EmT calculated by using the section distances d1 and d2, the power consumption calculation unit 18 sets a temperature threshold for torque limitation on the motor 1 to a low value so as to prevent the motor 1 from overheating. In other words, when the fuel efficiency improvement effect in the second section is large, the torque in the first section is limited. As a result, the motor 1 is limited in its torque in the first section p-f1, which makes the first section p-f1 a hybrid traveling section where the vehicle is driven by the motor 1 and the engine 2. Meanwhile, the second section f1-f2 is a traveling section where the vehicle is driven by the motor 1 only.

  • Patent number: 5285463
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device wherein a semiconductor chip is fixed on a mount body without a short circuit. A positive electrode (42) is provided above a conductive substrate through an insulating layer (38). The electrode (42) have a concavity (43). A bonding connector consists a first bonding connector (70) on the electrode (42) and a second bonding connector (71) around the first bonding connector (70), the first bonding connector being more fluid than the second bonding connector at a certain temperature. A LASER chip (30) is fixed on the second bonding connector (71).
