Publication number: 20230398975Abstract: A vehicle includes: an engine that generates driving force; a motor-generator that generates driving force; a battery electrically coupled to the motor-generator; an electric supercharger that compresses air with electric power supplied by the battery and to supply the compressed air to the engine; a navigation device that determines a route; and a control device including at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the processor. The at least one processor performs processing including: identifying a downhill section in which a downhill slope on the route is located; determining, based on a state of charge of the battery at present time, an endpoint estimated state of charge of the battery at a point in time when the vehicle reaches an endpoint of the downhill section; and turning on the electric supercharger when the endpoint estimated state of charge is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Naohiko HIROSUMI, Yuji OHORI, Takahiro UCHIMURA, Yasuhito YAMAGUCHI

Patent number: 11208008Abstract: A control device for a vehicle predicts a collision of the vehicle with an object and then actuates a drive assist device. The control device includes a collision predictor, a drive assist controller, an engine controller, a first power supply system, a second power supply system, a switch, and a switch controller. When a possibility that the vehicle will collide with the object exceeds a threshold, the collision predictor outputs a collision alarm signal. When the collision alarm signal is output during driving of the starter motor, the engine controller stops the starter motor to increase an electric potential of the second power supply system, and the switch controller turns on the switch, based on a difference in electric potential between the first and second power supply systems.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Takahiro Uchimura, Yuji Ohori, Yuki Natsume, Shota Inudo

Patent number: 11155221Abstract: A power supply device for a vehicle includes first and second systems, a switch disposed between the systems, and first and second controllers. The first system includes a first power supply and a first electrical apparatus. The second system includes a second power supply and a second electrical apparatus. The first mode controller executes a low power mode where the switch is turned on to supply electric power from one of the first and second power supplies to the first and second electrical apparatuses. The second mode controller executes a high power mode where the switch is turned off to supply electric power from the first and second power supplies to the first and second electrical apparatuses, respectively. When a discharge electric current of the second power supply exceeds a threshold during the low power mode, the second mode controller switches the power supply mode to the high power mode.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Takahiro Uchimura, Yuji Ohori, Yuki Natsume, Shota Inudo

Patent number: 10946751Abstract: A power supply device for a vehicle includes first and second power supply systems, a switch, and first, second, and third mode controllers. The first power supply system includes: a first power supply including a first power storage and a first generator, and an electrical apparatus. The second power supply system includes a second power supply. When an SOC of the first power storage exceeds a lower limit, the first mode controller supplies electric power from the first power supply to the electrical apparatus. When the SOC decreases below the lower limit, the second mode controller supplies electric power from the second power supply to the electrical apparatus via the switch. When an abnormality is detected to have occurred in the switch during the second power supply mode, the third mode controller supplies the electric power from the first power supply to the electrical apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Takahiro Uchimura, Yuji Ohori, Yuki Natsume, Shota Inudo
