Abstract

A control device is provided for operating a road-coupled hybrid vehicle, which is equipped with an electronic control unit, a first drive unit paired with a primary axle, and a second drive unit paired with a secondary axle. The control unit is designed to receive input variables including a specified sum target creep torque and a command to switch over from the single-axle operation to the two-axle operation with a specified all-wheel factor. The control unit sets a specified target torque for an internal combustion engine of the primary axle according to the all-wheel factor and detects the resulting actual coupling torque of the automatic transmission. If the functional module of the control unit ascertains a difference between the actual coupling torque and the sum target creep torque, the functional module specifies a corresponding target torque for an electric drive motor of the secondary axle to compensate for the difference.

Abstract

An apparatus for connecting a wiper blade to a wiper arm for a screen wiping system of a motor vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes an adapter that is connectable to the wiper blade; a receiving element that is connectable to the wiper arm and has an adapter opening for receiving the adapter. The adapter has at least two locking regions which can be deformed with respect to one another and are configured to lock the adapter to the receiving element in a locking position. The apparatus also includes an actuator for unlocking the locking regions, wherein, in an unlocking position, the actuator engages into an engagement opening of the receiving element and, in the process, the two locking regions are deformed with respect to one another by the actuator in such a way that the adapter can be removed through the adapter opening.

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical energy storage device (1) for a motor vehicle comprising at least one cell stack (4) formed of multiple storage cells (5) stacked on top of one another; a cell module frame (13) for receiving expansion forces (F) of the storage cells (5) via pressing the cell stack (4), with at least two pressure plates (14), which are arranged on two opposing end sides of the cell stack (4) in order to exert a pressing force onto the cell stack (4), and at least one clamping device (15) which is mechanically connected to the pressure plates (14) in order to hold the two pressure plates (14); and a housing (2) in which the at least one cell stack (4) is arranged, wherein the clamping device (15) has at least one housing wall (6) of the housing (2), which forms at least one tie rod of the clamping device (15) and with which the pressure plates (14) are mechanically connected.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for controlling an automated driving function of a vehicle (100). The device (110) is designed to detect a obstruction event (210) lying ahead in the direction of travel of the vehicle, and to determine a spatial extent of an obstruction area (220) for the detected obstruction event (210) depending on an event type of the detected obstruction event (210). The device is also designed to ensure that the automated driving function cannot be used in the obstruction area (220).
