Patent number: 11318925Abstract: A vehicle power distribution control method, apparatus and system are provided. The method includes: acquiring an image of a road surface on which a vehicle drives currently, and recognizing, according to the image of the road surface, the type of the road surface on which the vehicle drives currently; starting a corresponding terrain mode in an all-terrain adaptive mode according to the current type of the road surface; determining a power distribution strategy corresponding to the current terrain mode according to a correspondence between terrain modes and preset power distribution strategies; and switching a center differential of the vehicle to a corresponding locking mode according to the current power distribution strategy, and distributing, in the locking mode, torques to front and rear axles of the vehicle according to a torque distribution curve corresponding to the current power distribution strategy.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: GUANGZHOU AUTOMOBILE GROUP CO., LTD.Inventors: Lingtao Han, Chao Ding, Qiang Ren, Wei Xu, Ted S Huang, Chunyun Zheng

Patent number: 11247683Abstract: Disclosed is a bidirectional transmission control system for a vehicle. A road surface recognition apparatus collects an image of a road surface on which a vehicle drives currently, and forwards, after recognizing the type of the road surface on which the vehicle drives currently according to the image of the road surface, a corresponding first terrain mode request signal to an all-terrain controller through a signal transfer apparatus, so as to start a corresponding terrain mode in an all-terrain adaptive mode. In addition, the all-terrain controller forwards execution information about the terrain mode to the road surface recognition apparatus through the signal transfer apparatus, so as to implement state feedback of the terrain mode currently executed. The inconsistency of information transmission rates between an all-terrain control system of a vehicle and an input system can be coordinated, thereby aiding in real-time switching of various terrain modes.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: GUANGZHOU AUTOMOBILE GROUP CO., LTD.Inventors: Qiang Ren, Lingtao Han, Ang Yao, Ted S Huang, Wei Xu, Chunyun Zheng

Patent number: 11085384Abstract: Related are a method and an apparatus for protecting a clutch in a vehicle driving process. The method comprises: acquiring a current oil temperature of a space where the clutch is located and judging whether the current oil temperature is within a set temperature interval or not; in a case where the current oil temperature is within the set temperature interval, detecting whether a current wheel speed difference between front shaft and rear shaft reaches to a set wheel speed difference threshold or not; and in a case where the current wheel speed difference between the front shaft and rear shaft reaches to the set wheel speed difference threshold, triggering a first protective mode that is preset to protect the clutch; and in a case where the current oil temperature is higher than the set temperature interval, triggering a second protective mode that is preset to protect the clutch.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: GUANGZHOU AUTOMOBILE GROUP CO., LTD.Inventors: Lingtao Han, Chao Ding
