  • Publication number: 20240263692
    Abstract: The disclosed invention refers to a torque vectoring device (30) for a drive axle (12) of a vehicle (10). The torque vectoring device (30) comprises an electric torque vectoring motor (32), a planetary gear (34) and a layshaft (36) being configured to be coupled to a cage (26) of a differential gear (24), said planetary gear (34) comprising a first output being configured to be coupled to one of a left or right wheel drive shaft (16; 18) and a second output being coupled to said layshaft (36). The torque vectoring motor (32) is forming a first torque flow path (38) with said planetary gear (34) and said layshaft (36) and a second torque flow path (40) with the first output of said planetary gear (34), wherein said first torque flow path (38) and said second torque flow path (40) are kinematically arranged in parallel. The layshaft (36) is arranged eccentric with the first output of the planetary gear (34).

  • Publication number: 20240198824
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10781914
    Abstract: 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).
