  • Patent number: 9932030
    Abstract: A hybrid drive system for a motor vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor, each driving wheels of the motor vehicle. The internal combustion engine is coupled to the corresponding wheels via a first multispeed transmission. The electric motor is coupled to the corresponding wheels via a second multispeed transmission.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9022897
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a drive device (1) of a motor vehicle, said drive device (1) comprising at least one combustion engine (3) and at least one electric machine (9), as well as a dual clutch transmission (4) which can be functionally connected to the combustion engine (3) and which comprises a first sub-transmission (5), a first clutch (6) being associated therewith, and a second sub-transmission (7), a second clutch (8) and the electric machine (9) being associated therewith. In a purely electrical driving operation, the electric machine (9) is operated in a motorized manner, a driving gear is engaged in the second sub-transmission (7), and both clutches (6, 8) are disengaged.

  • Patent number: 8776921
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for starting the movement of a hybrid vehicle, which has a first (1) and a second drive unit (2), the first drive unit (1) being disposed on a first sub-transmission (T2) of a twin-clutch transmission having two sub-transmissions (T1, S1; T2, S2), In order to avoid rolling backwards when starting to move the hybrid vehicle in an attempt to start the movement using the first drive unit (1), the second drive unit (2) is started when starting the movement of the hybrid vehicle using the first drive unit (1), without interrupting the stress applied on the drive train (3) comprising the twin-clutch transmission.

  • Publication number: 20120242265
    Abstract: In a method for operating an electric machine of a drive device, which electric machine has a rotor and a stator, and which drive device has a drive unit, an angular position of the rotor with respect to the stator is determined on the basis of an angle-of-rotation encoder associated with the drive unit.

  • Publication number: 20110186369
    Abstract: A method for starting the movement of a hybrid vehicle, which has a first and a second drive unit, the first drive unit being disposed on a first sub-transmission of a twin-clutch transmission having two sub-transmissions. In order to avoid rolling backwards when starting to move the hybrid vehicle in an attempt to start the movement using the first drive unit, the second drive unit is started when starting the movement of the hybrid vehicle using the first drive unit, without interrupting the stress applied on the drive train comprising the twin-clutch transmission.

  • Patent number: 7932629
    Abstract: In a method for controlling a generation of an alternating current in a vehicle equipped with a battery and an inverter, the inverter is electrically connectable to the battery in order to generate an alternating current from a direct current of the battery for electrical devices that are electrically connectable to the inverter, and the battery is recharged when a charging state of the battery is equal to or less than a threshold value that is sufficient to generate an alternating current required for the electrical devices.

  • Publication number: 20100263952
    Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid vehicle, which has a first and a second drive unit, in which the second drive unit is started by at least a portion of the operating energy generated by the first drive unit. In order to improve the driving comfort of the hybrid vehicle during the startup of the second drive unit while driving, the second drive unit, which is at rest, is started using kinetic energy obtained from a driving movement of the hybrid vehicle, while the hybrid vehicle is driven by the first drive unit.
