Patent number: 12264731Abstract: A torque vectoring device for a drive axle of a vehicle including an electric torque vectoring motor, a planetary gear and a layshaft being configured to be coupled to a cage of a differential gear, the planetary gear including a first output being configured to be coupled to one of a left or right wheel drive shaft and a second output being coupled to the layshaft. The torque vectoring motor is forming a first torque flow path with the planetary gear and the layshaft and a second torque flow path with the first output of the planetary gear, wherein the first torque flow path and the second torque flow path are kinematically arranged in parallel. The layshaft is arranged eccentric with the first output of the planetary gear.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: BORGWARNER SWEDEN ABInventors: Hans Aulin, Isak Andersson, Ted Brink

Publication number: 20240198824Abstract: A charging circuit and a charging system to charge a battery of an electric vehicle. The charging circuit includes an AC/DC-inverter and an AC electrical machine system, that can selectively be run as a voltage boost converter or an electric drive system. In the charging circuit, a DC input voltage can, after passing a switching element but before entering the AC electrical machine system, be diverted via a selective electronic gate to reach an output port of the charging circuit in a conducting direction of the gate. At the same time, any backflow of current to an input port of the charging circuit is prevented in a reverse direction of the gate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2022Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Hans AULIN, Gabriel DOMINGUES, Wolfgang WENZEL

Patent number: 10781914Abstract: A method of controlling a drive train comprising an electric motor (12), a gearbox (1) and an internal combustion engine (13). The gearbox (1) is placed between the electric motor (12) and the internal combustion engine (13) in the drive train. The speed of the electric motor (12) is synchronized to the speed of the internal combustion engine (13) in order to shift the gearbox. The gearbox (1) is shifted between different operation modes by means of controlling the position of a dog clutch (6).Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2016Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: BORGWARNER TORQTRANSFER SYSTEMS ABInventors: Hans Aulin, Johan Nilsson
