Durability life management device for power transmission systems
The granted patent US12046088B2 introduces a durability life management device and method specifically designed for power transmission systems in vehicles. The device comprises an input section that collects critical running information, including engine rotation speed, output torque, time, and shift position. A control section processes this data to assess the degree of damage to the power transmission components, comparing it against predetermined values or thresholds. If the control section determines that the fatigue degree is high, it triggers an output section to signal this condition, which is then displayed on the vehicle's instrument panel. The control section also estimates the remaining time for damage to reach the threshold based on the rate of change in damage relative to running time or distance.
Additionally, the patent outlines a method for managing the durability life of power transmission systems, which follows a similar structure to the device. It involves accepting running information, comparing the degree of damage to predetermined values, and outputting a notification when high fatigue is detected. The method emphasizes the importance of estimating the remaining time until the damage reaches a critical threshold, allowing for proactive maintenance decisions. Both the device and method aim to enhance vehicle reliability by providing timely alerts regarding the condition of the power transmission system, thereby potentially reducing the risk of failure and improving overall vehicle performance.
