Patent number: 8016717Abstract: In a drive train of a motor vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine, at least one electrical machine which can be operated at least as a motor or as a generator, and a stepped automated manual transmission and at least one control device for controlling the internal combustion engine, the at least one electrical machine (P1, P2) and the stepped automated manual transmission and a method of operating the drive train, a braking torque on the driven wheels is kept approximately constant before, during and after a gear-shifting operation to a gear with a higher transmission ratio so as to avoid any jerks during such down shifting procedure.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2007Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Norbert Ebner, Pascal Heusler, Anton Rink

Patent number: 7806800Abstract: In a drive train and a method for operating the drive train for a motor vehicle, comprising a hydraulically shiftable transmission unit with an input shaft connectable to an internal combustion engine via a first clutch, a first electric motor, and an oil pump which supplies the transmission unit with pressurized oil and which is driven by the internal combustion engine or by an electric pump motor, the electric pump motor for driving the oil pump is in the form of a sensorless electric motor, and if required, the first electric motor is energized and coupled to the oil pump in order to assist starting the electric pump motor.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Norbert Ebner, Andreas Schondelmaier

Patent number: 7585250Abstract: In a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine which has an automatic start/stop device, and a controllable brake device at the start of and during an automatic stop phase, the effect of a braking torque which is greater than a threshold value is ensured. For this purpose, the brake device can increase the braking torque. The threshold value is previously calculated in such a way that the motor vehicle is reliably prevented from rolling away. As a result, the internal combustion engine can be stopped frequently, and at the same time unintentional rolling away of the motor vehicle during the stop phase can be avoided.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2004Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Harald Braun, Norbert Ebner, Michael Fischer, Deborah Mowll, Torsten Scholt, Michael Schopper

Publication number: 20080194368Abstract: In a device with a unit for actuating a motor vehicle transmission superimposes a first torque of a first drive assembly with at least one second torque of a second drive assembly, the unit modifies the first torque and the second torque in order to fulfill a propulsion request of an operator. According to the invention, the unit also regulates the rotational speed of the second drive assembly during a modification of the first torque.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2005Publication date: August 14, 2008Applicant: DaimierChrysler AGInventors: Norbert Ebner, Thomas Listner

Publication number: 20070294016Abstract: Motor vehicle (2) and associated electronic control device (4) for controlling an internal combustion engine (6) and at least one electrical machine (8). Torque losses of the electrical machine (8) are taken into account with the aid of families of characteristics and algorithms, and torques are predetermined for the electrical machine (8) independently of the operating state of the entire drive train (10) of the motor vehicle (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2004Publication date: December 20, 2007Applicant: DAIMLER CHRYSLER AGInventors: Harald Braun, Norbert Ebner, Heiko Mayer

Patent number: 7256514Abstract: Device and method for operation of at least one electrical machine for a motor vehicle. In order to coordinate torque requirements for the propulsion system and voltage requirements for the vehicle power supply system and at least one battery for the vehicle power supply system, a voltage reference variable is formed for the voltage requirements for the vehicle power supply system, and a torque reference variable is formed for the torque requirements of the propulsion system. The voltage reference variable is limited by upper and lower torque limit values which must not be overshot or undershot in the event of changes to the voltage reference variable. The torque reference variable is limited by voltage limit values which must not be overshot or undershot in the event of torque changes.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2004Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Harald Braun, Norbert Ebner, Franz Nietfeld, Fritz Schmidt
