案例背景

本案例取自车辆传动装置技术领域的实用新型专利中英文对照文本,整体内容分为基础传动方法实施例、多工况控制逻辑、整体技术有益效果总结三大部分,属于机械传动、车辆电控、动力声学交叉的复合型专利文本。该混动装置适配新能源汽车,同时覆盖纯电、混动、直驱、原地发电多种工作模式,涉及电机双向能量转换、功率耦合分配、发动机拖启等特色技术流程。翻译面向国内外专利审查人员、汽车传动研发工程师,既要遵循国内实用新型专利书面规范,亦要匹配欧美动力系统专利惯用术语体系。此类翻译案例属于混动类汽车专利翻译的典型教学范例。

Ø 原文与译文

基于同一技术构思,至少一个实施例还提供了一种采用如上述的无级变速混动传动装置的传动方法,其包括:当动力控制单元1执行纯电模式时,通过动力控制单元1控制第一电机2启动、第二电机3静止,以使动力分配单元5输出动力为第一电机2的输出功率;当动力控制单元1执行混动模式时,通过动力控制单元1控制第一电机2启动、第二电机3启动及离合器42啮合,直至第二电机3启动发动机41,且发动机41将部分输出功率经第二电机3提供至第一电机2、蓄电池6,以使动力分配单元5输出动力为第一电机2、发动机41的输出功率之和减去第二电机3的输出功率;

Based on the same   inventive concept, at least one embodiment further provides a transmission   method utilizing the continuously variable hybrid transmission device as   described above. The transmission method includes the following steps: when a   power control unit (1) executes a pure electric mode, the power control unit   1 activates a first electric machine (2) while keeping a second electric   machine (3) standing idle, such that the power output by a power distribution   unit (5) equals the output power of the first electric machine (2); when the   power control unit 1 executes a hybrid mode, the power control unit 1 activates   the first electric machine 2 and the second electric machine (3), and engages   a clutch (42), until the second electric machine (3) cranks an engine (41). A   portion of output power generated by the engine (41) is delivered to the   first electric machine (2) and a storage battery (6) by the second electric   machine (3), so that the output power of the power distribution unit (5)   equals a sum of output power of the first electric machine (2) and output   power of the engine (41) minus output power of the second electric machine (3).

当动力控制单元1执行混动模式时,通过动力控制单元1控制第二电机3将动力叠加至动力分配单元5,以使动力分配单元5输出动力为第一电机2、第二电机3与发动机41的输出功率之和;当动力控制单元1执行直驱模式时,通过动力控制单元1控制第二电机3启动及离合器42啮合,直至第二电机3启动发动机41,且第一电机2保持空转,以使动力分配单元5输出动力为发动机41与第二电机3的输出功率差值;当动力控制单元1执行直驱模式且发动机41启动后,通过动力控制单元1控制第二电机3静止,以使动力分配单元5输出动力为发动机41的输出功率;当动力控制单元1执行原地发电模式时,通过动力控制单元1控制第一电机2静止、离合器42啮合及第二电机3启动,以使发动机41通过第二电机3对蓄电池6充电。

When the power control   unit (1) executes the hybrid mode, the power control unit (1) controls the   second electric machine (3) to superpose its power onto the power   distribution device (5), such that the power output from the power   distribution unit (5) equals the combined output power of the first electric   machine (2), the second electric machine (3) and the engine (41). When the   power control unit (1) executes a direct-drive mode, the power control unit   (1) activates the second electric machine (3) and engages the clutch (42),   until the second electric machine (3) cranks the engine (41), while the first   electric machine (2) remains idle; accordingly, the power output from the   power distribution unit (5) equals the difference between the power outputs   of the engine (41) and that of the second electric machine (3). When the   power control unit (1) executes the direct-drive mode and after the engine   (41) has been started, the power control unit (1) controls the second   electric machine (3) to stand idle, such that the power output from the power   distribution unit (5) equals that of the engine (41). When the power control   unit (1) executes a stationary power generation mode, the power control unit   (1) controls the first electric machine (2) to remain idle, engages the   clutch (42), and activates the second electric machine (3), so that the engine   (41) charges the storage battery (6) via the second electric machine (3).

综上所述,本实用新型通过动力控制单元、动力分配单元柔性分配第一电机、第二电机及发动机组的扭矩,实现动力持续输出且无顿挫,并且第二电机在发电的同时能够分流发动机组的转速和扭矩,使发动机组在最经济工况下工作,起到节能减排的作用;机械结构简单,零部件少,可节约制造成本及提高可靠性;可驱使车轮、拖拉机PTO装置及其他机构,实现混动高效输出。

In summary, this   utility model flexibly distributes torques of the first electric machine, the   second electric machine and the engine unit via the power control unit and   the power distribution unit, achieving continuous power output free of torque   disruption. Meanwhile, the second electric machine can divert part of the   rotational speed and torque load of the engine unit during power generation,   allowing the engine unit to operate within its optimal economic operating   range and deliver improved fuel economy together with lower exhaust   emissions. In addition, the utility model adopts a simplified mechanical   structure with fewer constituent parts, which reduces manufacturing costs and   elevates overall system reliability. The device is capable of driving vehicle   wheels, tractor power take-off (PTO) units and other mechanical assemblies to   realize high-efficiency hybrid power output.

Ø 译文解析:

该译文统一采用国际专利通用行文范式,统一部件编号标注格式、工况描述句式及功率运算逻辑,消除前后段落术语、语态不统一的问题。针对中文原文流水铺陈的多分支工况表述,译文通过分号、分词状语重构英文分层句式,清晰区分不同模式的触发条件与先后时序。功率求和、功率差值等数值关系采用传动领域标准化表述,规避数学对比歧义。有益效果段落摒弃中式直译短语,替换为海外专利通行的节油(fuel economy)、排放(emissions)专业表述,兼顾技术严谨性与外文审查阅读习惯,完整保留原文全部技术特征,无信息增删或语义偏移。

1) 本段翻译难点主要是专利用语规范与动力系统术语精准性两方面。文本包含“基于同一技术构思”“至少一个实施例”等专利固定表述,需匹配国际专利通用的标准译法,不可随意直译。同时涉及纯电/混动模式切换、功率流合成等混动领域专属技术内容,电机启停、离合器啮合、发动机拖启等动作术语需匹配传动领域专利的通用措辞。此外,方法步骤嵌套多层逻辑,需兼顾英文专利的句式习惯,保证功率计算逻辑表述无歧义。

Based on the same technical concept, at least one embodiment further provides a transmission method adopting the aforementioned continuously variable hybrid transmission device, which comprises the following steps: when the power control unit 1 operates the pure electric mode, the power control unit 1 controls a first electric machine 2 to start and a second electric machine 3 to remain stationary, so that the output power of a power distribution unit 5 is equal to the output power of the first electric machine 2; when the power control unit 1 operates the hybrid mode, the power control unit 1 controls the first electric machine 2 to start, the second electric machine 3 to start, and the clutch 42 to engage until the second electric machine 3 drives and starts the engine 41. Part of the output power of the engine 41 is supplied to the first electric machine 2 and the storage battery 6 via the second electric machine 3, such that the power output by the power distribution unit 5 is the sum of the output power of the first electric machine 2 and the engine 41 minus the output power of the second electric machine 3.

AI译后编辑要点:

(1) 将“同一技术构思”对应译法从technical concept调整为inventive concept,同时把adopting替换为utilizing,匹配专利文本的惯用表述,符合国际专利申请的行文规范;

(2) 优化混动专业术语。将普通表述的电机“启动”由start改为activate、“静止状态”改为standing idle、“发动机启动”改为crank,均采用动力传动领域专利的标准措辞,专业度更优,也匹配海外车企专利的用词习惯;

(3) 梳理冠词使用逻辑,统一首次提及的工作模式,零部件前加不定冠词a,避免定冠词带来的不当限定歧义,契合英文专利具体实施章节的冠词使用惯例;

(4) 将is equal to简化为equals,对功率计算进行标准化表述;同时调整功率求和句式的结构,表述更凝练严谨,减少数学类表述的冗余感,符合专利参数说明的行文风格。

2) 本段翻译难点在于工况逻辑梳理与术语体系统一两方面。文本涵盖混动、直驱启动、直驱稳态、原地发电四类运行模式,其中直驱模式嵌套两个时序阶段,中文流水式表述若直译易打乱层级关系,需重构语序明确工况先后与触发条件。该段同时涉及电机待机、功率合成等混动专属表述,需兼顾术语的行业通用性与全文术语一致性,功率和、差值等数学关系表述也需做到严谨无歧义,符合专利文件的准确性要求。

经AI辅助翻译并优化提示词后,生成以下译文:

When the power control unit 1 operates in hybrid mode, the power control unit 1 controls the second electric motor 3 to superimpose power onto the power split unit 5, such that the output power of the power distribution unit 5 equals the sum of the output power of the first electric motor 2, the second electric motor 3 and the engine 41. When the power control unit 1 operates in direct drive mode, the power control unit 1 controls the startup of the second electric motor 3 and engagement of the clutch 42 until the second electric motor 3 cranks the engine 41, while the first electric motor 2 maintains idling. As a result, the output power of the power distribution unit 5 is the difference between the output power of the engine 41 and the second electric motor 3. After the engine 41 is started under the direct drive mode executed by the power control unit 1, the power control unit 1 controls the second electric motor 3 to stand still, so that the output power of the power distribution unit 5 is equal to the output power of the engine 41. When the power control unit 1 operates in stationary power generation mode, the power control unit 1 controls the first electric motor 2 to remain stationary, the clutch 42 to engage and the second electric motor 3 to activate, so that the engine 41 charges the battery pack 6 via the second electric motor 3.

AI译后编辑要点:

(1) 将electric motor调整为electric machine,同时替换battery pack为storage battery,匹配混动电机双向工作的属性,也与前文专利术语体系保持统一,避免窄化部件功能;

(2) 统一核心部件的名称表述。将power split unit统一为power distribution unit,消除同物异名问题,保证全文核心部件名称一致,遵循专利翻译术语译名统一的规范要求;

(3) 梳理工况的逻辑与时序关系,调整直驱模式的分句结构,采用现在完成时明确发动机启动前后的阶段划分,同步优化连接词表述,使不同工况的层级更清晰;

(4) 将功率之和的表述调整为combined output power,功率差值部分补充that of明确指代对象,优化功率关系的表述精度,避免混淆比较对象,遵循专利参数表述的严谨性要求。

3) 本段翻译难点为混动传动专属技术描述与中英文专利表达习惯差异。文中包含扭矩柔性分配、无顿挫输出、发动机负荷分流等行业特色表述,直译易出现中式工程英语;“节能减排”等概括性词组不能直接字面翻译,需适配海外专利惯用的油耗、排放专业表述。同时,原文由三层优势并列构成,分句衔接依靠中文分号。若直译易造成句式零散,需借助分词、衔接词重构英文长句逻辑;还需统一整机、动力部件术语,保证与前文实施例用词体系连贯。
