Patent number: 12119764Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating input current are provided, particularly when input currents are applied to an electric motor of a motor system. An Electric Control Unit (ECU), according to one implementation, is configured to control the motor system. The ECU is configured to store computer logic having instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processing devices to obtain a duty cycle parameter at an output of the ECU. The duty cycle parameter, for example, relates to control actions enforced on one or more switches of a power electronics circuit of the motor system. Based on the duty cycle parameter, the instructions further cause the one or more processing devices to estimate an input current provided to the electric motor of the motor system. A more accurate input current estimation may thereby be used to better estimate torque.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: RIVIAN IP HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Mehrdad Yazdanian, Younes Sangsefidi, Kang Wang, Chou Yeh

Patent number: 12057732Abstract: High voltage discharge is provided. A system can include an electric motor of an electric vehicle electrically connected to a capacitor. A switching component can be connected with and intermediary to the electric motor and the capacitor. A controller can cause the switching component to enter a first state to cause the electric motor to convert electrical power of the capacitor to mechanical power to propel the electric vehicle, or convert mechanical power from a drive system of the electric vehicle to electrical power to charge the capacitor. The controller can cause the switching component to enter, in response to detection by the controller of an indication to discharge the capacitor, a second state to isolate the electric motor from the capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Boru Wang, Chia-Chou Yeh, Charles John Scanlon

Patent number: 11958364Abstract: A torque security system for a vehicle is provided. The system receives a signal from a sensor coupled to a motor shaft of an electric motor and determines an acceleration of the electric motor, based on the signal from the sensor that indicates an amount of rotation of the motor shaft. The system determines an internal torque between the motor shaft and an input gear coupled to the motor shaft, based on the acceleration of the electric motor and an inertia of the electric motor and a gearbox. The powertrain of the vehicle comprises the gearbox and the electric motor, and the input gear couples the electric motor to the gearbox. The system determines whether the internal torque exceeds a threshold torque, and in response to determining that the internal torque exceeds the threshold torque, the system reduces power output to the electric motor. The system also diagnoses the health of the gearbox.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Kang Wang, Younes Sangsefidi, Chia-Chou Yeh, Brian Harries
