  • Patent number: 9031728
    Abstract: An electric driving type utility vehicle having a regenerative brake force distribution control function, and a regenerative brake force distribution control method thereof are provided. The utility vehicle includes: a controller for controlling an output and a recovery of a motor; recovery sensing means for sensing a recovery braking state when the motor is driven; a power measurement unit for measuring the amount of recovery power generated in the recovery braking state; and a power switching unit for automatically switching a drive mode from a two-wheel drive mode to a four-wheel drive mode or vice versa according to the load condition. The present invention can switch the present mode to the four-wheel drive mode by operating the power switching unit according to the control of the controller when sensing the recovery brake through the recovery sensing means in the driving state.

  • Publication number: 20140316623
    Abstract: A shift shock reduction system of an electrically driven utility vehicle comprises: a motor controller which controls an output of a motor; an automatic transmission which has a pair of electrically-powered means with two speeds or more; and a transmission control unit which is electrically connected with the controller, and controls the automatic transmission, wherein when the automatic transmission changes speed by the transmission control unit, a temporary neutral state is implemented, and as soon as the automatic transmission reaches a neutral position, control for increasing or reducing RPM of the motor can be carried out by the motor controller.

  • Patent number: 8475334
    Abstract: A load-sensitive automatic transmission system for an agricultural electric vehicle is provided, which includes a drive motor for generating a rotational power using electric power of a battery; a transmission for changing a rotational speed of the drive motor in multiple stages and outputting the changed rotational speed; a forward/reverse differential gear for transmitting the power of the transmission to wheels; a control unit for detecting a running state of the vehicle and a load state of the drive motor and determining a speed change time; and an actuator for operating the transmission in response to a signal from the control unit. Accordingly, it is possible to selectively provide high speed and torque to meet the needs of different situation, beyond the limitations of the motor drive performance of a conventional electric vehicle.
