Clément DERVILLE HELLUIN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12227068
    Abstract: A propulsion system for an electric vehicle includes an assembly of four electric propulsion machines each having a stator and a rotor having an output shaft that is movable in rotation about an axis. Also includes is a common gearwheel that is kinematically connected to the n output shafts and that is able to receive the torque provided by the electric machines so as to form a first speed reducer, and primary gearwheels able to be driven by the common gearwheel. An intermediate shaft is able to be driven by intermediate gearwheels, each primary gearwheel being kinematically connected to a corresponding intermediate gearwheel so as to form a pair of gears with which a second speed reducer is associated, and a secondary shaft that is able to drive the vehicle and that has a secondary gearwheel kinematically connected to the intermediate shaft so as to form a third speed reducer.

  • Publication number: 20230219410
    Abstract: Drive system for an electric vehicle including a first sub-assembly of electric machines kinematically connected to a first common gear, and a second sub-assembly of electric machines kinematically connected to a second common gear. A first set of gear trains is kinematically connecting the first sub-assembly to a secondary shaft capable of driving the driving wheels of the vehicle, wherein a first selective coupling system is arranged to select a first gear train or a second gear train from a neutral position during a gear change phase. A second sub-assembly kinematically connects the second common gear to the secondary shaft. The second sub-assembly of electric machines is controlled so as to supply additional torque making it possible to compensate for the loss of torque resulting from the uncoupling of the first sub-assembly inherent in the gear change.
