  • Patent number: 10144415
    Abstract: A limp home mode drive method and system for a hybrid vehicle are provided. The method includes prohibiting an operation of an overdrive brake that is included in a transmission for the hybrid vehicle and is driven by an electric oil pump when the hybrid vehicle is being driven and the electric oil pump is not operated. A speed of the hybrid vehicle is then limited based on a heat value of a rotation driver included in the transmission and a torque of a drive motor driving the transmission is limited based on a temperature of the drive motor. A mechanical oil pump included in the hybrid vehicle is operated to enable limp home driving of the hybrid vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9180863
    Abstract: An oil pump system and method of a hybrid vehicle stably supplies an operating hydraulic pressure to an automatic transmission using only an electric oil pump. The oil pump system of the hybrid vehicle, which supplies an operating hydraulic pressure to an automatic transmission of the hybrid vehicle, includes: an automatic transmission control unit controlling operation of the automatic transmission; an electric oil pump pumping oil to generate an operating hydraulic pressure which is to be supplied to the automatic transmission; and an oil pump control unit receiving information on a state of the automatic transmission from the automatic transmission control unit and controlling operation of the electric oil pump. The operating hydraulic pressure supplied to the automatic transmission may be generated solely through the electric oil pump which is electrically operated.
