Patent number: 9096143Abstract: A temperature control system for a drive device of a motor vehicle includes a first temperature control circuit, which is coupled to an electric drive apparatus of the drive device; a second temperature control circuit, which is separate from the first temperature control circuit and is coupled to an electric energy store of the drive device; and a heat exchanger for optionally transferring heat between the first temperature control circuit and the second temperature control circuit. A method for operating a temperature control system for a drive device of a motor vehicle includes optional transmission of heat between the first temperature control circuit and the second temperature control circuit by way of a heat exchanger in such a way that heat is extracted from the first temperature control circuit and the second temperature control circuit.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2011Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AktiengesellschaftInventor: Martin Füchtner

Patent number: 9045131Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a drive train of a hybrid vehicle (HEF), which can be driven by an internal combustion engine (BKA), respectively individually or together with an electric machine (EA), which includes an electrical energy store (ES), power electronics (LE) and a motor/generator unit (MGE). Depending on a first or second position of an operator control (BV), the drive train (A) is operated in a first operating mode (BM1) corresponding to a boost preparatory phase or in a second operating mode (BM2) corresponding to a boost phase. In the first operating mode (BM1) the electrical energy store (ES) is charged by operating the motor/generator unit (MGE), as a generator, and in the second operating mode (BM2) a boost function of the electric machine (EA) is called by operating the motor/generator unit (MGE), together with the internal combustion engine (BKA), as a motor.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.

Patent number: 8757305Abstract: A hybrid drive arrangement for a vehicle with an internal combustion engine for driving, under engine power, and at least one electric machine (1), for electric driving, and with a double-clutch transmission. The electric machine (1) can be separated from the internal combustion engine by at least one separator clutch (3), in the form of a wet-operating, hydraulically actuated disk clutch. The outer disk carrier (4) of the separator clutch (3) and the outer disk carriers (5, 5A) of the two double clutches, of the double-clutch transmission, are connected and mounted on the transmission housing (6).Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignees: ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Roske, Wolfgang Grosspietsch, Andreas Ratte, Alexander Bartha, Timo Wehlen, Steffen Matschas, Dieter Kraxner, Martin Fuchtner, Henrik Schrage
