Patent number: 12227164Abstract: An electrified vehicle disclosed in the present specification includes: a motor configured to rotate a drive wheel of the electrified vehicle; a sensor configured to detect a motor rotation number that is the number of rotations of the motor; and a control device configured to perform feedback control of the motor rotation number based on a value detected by the sensor. The control device is configured to perform during the feedback control a process of extracting a vibration component in a predetermined frequency band from the value detected by the sensor, a process of calculating an integrated value by integrating the extracted vibration component for a predetermined period, and a process of determining whether the calculated integrated value falls within a predetermined abnormal range.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2022Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Junichi Murase, Hideki Kubonoya, Masamichi Iwama, Hiroshi Ienaga

Publication number: 20230115854Abstract: A traction controller for an electric vehicle according to the present disclosure calculates a first target torque and a second target torque. The first target torque is a motor torque for achieving a target rotational speed calculated based on a target slip. The second target torque is a motor torque for achieving a target driving force set based on an estimated friction coefficient of a road surface and a ground contact load. The traction controller determines an arbitration target torque with the first target torque as a required value and the second target torque as a constraint condition, and controls the motor based on the arbitration target torque.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Masamichi Iwama
