  • Patent number: 10393556
    Abstract: An electric oil pump control method for operating a transmission of a hybrid vehicle which is driven by a first motor, a second motor, and an engine is provided. The method includes determining a number of revolutions of a low-pressure pump of an electric oil pump based on lubrication flow amount of the first motor, lubrication flow amount of the second motor, cooling flow amount of the first motor, and cooling flow amount of the second motor and determining a number of revolutions of a high-pressure pump of the electric oil pump based on control flow amount of a clutch of the transmission and lubrication flow amount of a rotation driver included in the transmission. A maximum value is determined of the determined number of revolutions of the low-pressure pump and the determined number of revolutions of the high-pressure pump as a number of revolutions of the electric oil pump.

  • Patent number: 10316958
    Abstract: A system and method for electric oil pump control of hybrid electric vehicle are provided. The system includes a driving information detector that is configured to detect driving information according to driving of the hybrid vehicle and an operation type transmission of an electric oil pump (EOP) that receives and supplies transmission oil for operating a clutch. A controller analyzes the driving information, and detects an oil skew phenomenon and enters the EOP speed increasing mode when the hybrid vehicle stops by rapid braking, and increases the EOP speed to increase temporary oil absorption power during rapid starting in a predetermined reference period of time.
