  • Patent number: 12080863
    Abstract: This application provides a vehicle and a power battery heating apparatus and method thereof. In the method, when a current temperature value of a power battery is lower than a preset temperature value, and a heating condition of the power battery meets a preset condition, a three-phase inverter is controlled to cause a three-phase alternating current motor to generate heat to heat a coolant flowing through the power battery. A preset quadrature-axis current and a corresponding preset direct-axis current are obtained to control the three-phase inverter to adjust a phase current of the three-phase alternating current motor in the heating process, so that electromagnetic torque with a small torque value is outputted at a motor shaft. The electromagnetic torque causes the motor output shaft to output a pre-tightening force to the transmission mechanism, thereby eliminating an engagement gap and effectively avoiding jitters of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9333654
    Abstract: An industrial robot is used to assemble a part to a predetermined location on a randomly moving workpiece. The workpiece may be an automobile on an assembly line and the part may be a wheel (a tire mounted on a rim) to be assembled on one of the wheel hubs of the automobile. The robot has mounted on it a camera, a force sensor and a gripper to grip the part. After the robot grips the part, signals from both the force sensor and vision are used by a computing device to move the robot to a position where the robot can assemble the part to the predetermined location on the workpiece. The computing device can be the robot controller or a separate device such as a PC that is connected to the controller.
