AUTO LEVER CONVERTER FOR PHEV CONVERSION

PURPOSE: An automatic lever converter for PHEV(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) conversion is provided to properly shift lever positions(R N D 2 L) and automatically switch on or off a combustion engine according to selection of power supply while driving a PHEV conversion. CONSTITUTION: An automatic lever converter for PHEV(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) conversions is installed between an inhibitor switch(30) and a TCU(Transmission Control Unit) bundle(50) including a TCU, an ignition switch, a starter motor, and a back light. The said automatic lever converter comprises an input unit(40-I) to receive all outputs from the inhibitor switch; a circuit unit(40-IC) to make conductivity for PHEV driving or suspend power supply; an output unit(40-O) to connect the signals converted in the circuit unit to the TCU bundle; a control input unit(40-CI) to inform the circuit unit whether an electric vehicle mode(EV) or an combustion engine mode(ICE) switches on or off, and of combustion engine status; and a forward and reverse sensing output(40-FRSO) to output forward signal or reverse signal outputted from the circuit unit.
