Patent CA-2300597-C (CA)
Inventor: LIU RONG FAN
IPC: B60L3/10
Filed: 2000-03-10
Granted: 2007-11-06
Abstract: The drive motor (12) of a powered axle on an electric train is energized e.g. from a supply source (14) having a 3-phase output regulated by a motor controller (18) whose basic function is to establish a motor torque corresponding to a set input value (Cmanip). The motor controller is integrated with an adhesion control unit (20) comprising the adhesion controller proper (22) and a processor (24). The adhesion control unit receives input (V) from a motor speed sensor (26) and passes to the controller signals representing the first (i.e. acceleration) (gamma) and second (Dgamma) derivatives of this variable. The speed sensor signal is also delivered to the motor controller (18) and, directly, to the adhesion controller (22). The motor controller also has input a motor supply current value through connections (IS1,IS2) from two of the supply phases. From its inputs, the motor controller estimates the motor torque and inputs a corresponding signal (Cm) to the adhesion controller. The latter's output signal (C-corr) modifies the motor controller setting (Cmanip) in a subtracter unit (27) to give a corrected setting signal (Ccons). The adhesion controller then responds to motor accelerations indicative of increased slip by reducing the torque setting (Ccons) of the motor controller (18).

Granted: 2005-02-22
Abstract: A series of multifunction controls are provided to operate a hydrostatic automatic transmission and subtransmission wherein one of running ranges is switched to another by a sub-transmission lever. An automatic speed change mode is switched to or from a stepping speed change mode by a mode map switch, and when the stepping speed change mode is selected, manual speed change is performed by a shift switch. The shift switch and the mode map switch are configured as a common switch. The common switch is used as the shift switch during running of the vehicle, and the shift switch is changed into the mode map switch when the shift switch 28 is depressed only under the condition that the vehicle is stopped and the running range selected by the sub-transmission is located at the neutral (N) or that the vehicle is stopped and the brake switch is turned on. When the shift switch is depressed, the function of the shift switch is changed into the function of the mode map switch, and the speed change mode is switched by one stage each time the mode map switch is depressed. This control arrangement is cost effective and convenient to us.
