  • Patent number: 11760190
    Abstract: An electric vehicle cooling system includes a vehicle control unit (VCU), a coolant pump controller, a motor controller, a motor, a vehicle charger, an electronic coolant pump, and a cooling plate. The electronic coolant pump, the vehicle charger, the motor controller, the motor, and the cooling plate are connected in sequence to form a closed coolant loop for a coolant. Either the VCU or the coolant pump controller of the electronic coolant pump can control the electronic coolant pump to switch between an idle mode and a normal mode according to a coolant temperature detected from the closed coolant loop. Under the normal mode, the VCU controls the electronic coolant pump to have an ideal pumping speed according to the coolant temperature detected from the closed coolant loop and a rotational speed of the motor, ensuring good cooling efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20230173929
    Abstract: The present invention is an electronic gear-shifting device of an electric motorcycle for simulating gear shifting power output, including an electronic shift unit, an electronic clutch unit and a throttle position sensor, and correspondingly outputting a shift signal, a clutch signal and a throttle position signal according to the operation of the rider. A vehicle controller receives the shift signal, the clutch signal and the throttle position signal to determine a target gear position of the electric motorcycle. The vehicle controller looks up a motor torque command according to the target gear position table and outputs the motor torque command to a motor controller, so that the motor controller controls an electric motor of electric motorcycle. Therefore, the electric motorcycle simulates the power performance of a general motorcycle without adding a physical clutch, a gearbox and other shifting mechanisms.

  • Patent number: 11479126
    Abstract: A system for compensating acceleration of electrical motorbike includes a throttle unit and an electro-mechanic assembly. After the electrical motorbike starts, the throttle unit receives external operation from a rider for generating a series of original throttle signal. An acceleration compensating module calculates a throttle variation rate based on the original throttle signal and variation of a throttle operation magnitude, and calculates a throttle compensating value based on the throttle variation rate when the throttle variation rate is larger than or equal to a correction threshold. A throttle compensating module receives and sums the original throttle signal and the throttle compensating value up for generating a new throttle signal. A torque controller generates a corresponding torque command based on the new throttle signal, and outputs the torque command to the electro-mechanic assembly for operation.

  • Patent number: 11397998
    Abstract: A method is proposed to assist a user of an electric vehicle in reserving a rechargeable battery with a charging station. A reservation assistant unit that is related to the electric vehicle computes an estimated travelling distance from a current location corresponding to the electric vehicle to a destination, and computes a remaining distance based on residual electric energy of a rechargeable battery currently used by the electric vehicle. When the estimated travelling distance is greater than the remaining distance, the reservation assistant unit provides charging station information that indicates the closest charging station that has a rechargeable battery available.
