Aftermarket electrical propulsion system for vehicles

Номер: US20120000721A1

Автор: Frank F. Lipski

Принадлежит: FAZER Tech CORP

A supplemental propulsion system for a vehicle includes an electrical generator coupled to the vehicle's engine. At least one electric motor is coupled to one or more propulsion devices, such as road wheels of a motor vehicle. Electrical power from the generator is supplied to an electronic control unit that then supplies electric power to the electric motor. The system may be configured to be retrofitted to a conventional gasoline or diesel-powered vehicle.

Принадлежит: Individual

The present disclosure relates to a hybrid working vehicle which determines the change of load by using a displacement of a flyweight or flyball in a governor, and controls a motor-generator according to the change of load, and a control method thereof. The hybrid working vehicle detects the change of load based on the displacement of the flyweight or flyball measured by a displacement measuring device, operates a motor-generator as a motor to supplement the power in a case where the load increases, and operates the motor-generator as an electric generator to collect energy in a case where the load decreases. In this way, revolution per minute (RPM) of a diesel engine may be detected rapidly and accurately based on the displacement of the flyweight or flyball without installing any complicated apparatus such as a torque measuring device which measures torque of a load, and accordingly controls the motor-generator so as to enhance the energy efficiency of the hybrid working vehicle and to improve the comfortable feeling of a driver.

Embodiments of the invention comprise a multi-input range box driven by multiple electric drives. Range shifting involves momentarily increasing the current through all but a given motor, to a level that will carry the entire load, comprising specified constant power. Simultaneously, torque of the given motor is reduced to zero. The given motor is then disconnected from supplying power, is synchronized to the input speed of the new speed range, and is then engaged for the new range. The above sequence is then repeated for each remaining motors, in turn. The motor current is re-equalized for all of the motors, after all the motors have been connected to provide power at the new range. Thus, there is no interruption in power flow during a range shift, and the motors are always used to deliver power, rather than to serve as a brake.

Method and system for controlling an ev mode transition in a two-mode hybrid vehicle

Принадлежит: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC

A method of executing an electric-only (EV) mode transition in a vehicle includes determining vehicle operating values using a control system, processing the values to identify the transition, and executing the transition to or from the first or second EV mode. The transition is executed by selectively engaging and disengaging the input brake to zero, and by using the first and/or second traction motor to synchronize slip across the input brake. When the transition is from the first to the second EV mode or vice versa, the control system may use multiple speed and torque control phases to enter multiple intermediate modes, e.g., a pair of engine-on electrically-variable transmission modes and a fixed gear mode. A vehicle includes an engine, an input brake, first and second traction motors, and a transmission driven via the motors in a first and second EV mode. The vehicle includes the control system noted above.

A dual battery charging and discharging system controls the configuration of multiple batteries arranged in multiple battery banks. The batteries within each bank are connected in series when powering an electrical load, such as a service motor, and are connected in parallel when charging. A microprocessor monitors the voltage levels of the batteries in each bank and controls relays to switch the electrical load over to a charged battery bank when the voltage level of the discharging battery bank drops below a minimum run threshold. The microprocessor also monitors the voltage levels of the charging battery bank and controls relays to cease charging when the voltage level rises above a minimum charge threshold. The batteries are charged by an alternator driven by a drive motor through a gear reduction system.

A charging unit reads the current profile stored in the storage unit, and performs a charging operation based on the current profile.

Method for Disconnecting an Electrical Machine on a Running Gear of a Vehicle, in Particular a Hybrid Motor Vehicle

A method for disconnecting an electrical machine connected with the wheels of a vehicle's drive axle by means of a dog clutch having intermeshing couplers includes, upon receipt of a command to disengage, two successively activated steps. In the first step, a torque equal to a calibrated threshold of a target torque (d) is applied to the electrical machine so to effect a zero torque between the couplers. During this step, a dog clutch actuator is deactivated so to allow the dog clutch to disengage from the electrical machine as quickly as possible. Next, a torque having a value determined according to a slope whose value ranges from the calibrated threshold of the target torque (d) to zero is applied to the electrical machine.

Multi-port reconfigurable battery

A multi-port reconfigurable battery has at least one bank of statically joined series connected battery cells, each including a positive and negative pole connected through switches to respective output connections on at least one port. Processor controlled switches reconfigure the cells to provide power for electrical loads on one or more ports and simultaneously provide charging on one or more other ports. An alternative configuration divides groups of series connected cells into separate battery banks that permit other configurations. Ports are configurable to share one electrically common connection with other ports providing a simplified configuration (multi-tap reconfigurable battery). Applications include selectable motor speed control and battery regeneration schemes matched to motor output, and single or multiphase AC power output at selectable frequencies for use as an Uninterruptible Power Supply. The battery is also described as a power source for a forced-air induction system (e.g. electric supercharger) for a combustion engine.

A system to control a powertrain includes an energy management layer monitoring a plurality of potential energy storage devices and determining a reference available power for each of the potential energy storage devices. The system further includes a power management layer monitoring the reference available power for the potential energy storage devices, a power demanded of the powertrain, and an electric power constraint for the potential energy storage devices, and determining a power split based upon the monitored reference available power for the potential energy storage devices, the power demanded of the powertrain, and the electric power constraint for the potential energy storage devices. The system further includes a torque control layer controlling torque generation based upon the determined power split.

Electric motor assembly with movable rotor segments to reduce back electromotive force

Номер: US20120264554A1

An electric motor assembly includes a rotor hub, and a rotor supported on the rotor hub. The rotor hub has first and second hub portions, and the rotor has first and second annular rotor segments supported for rotation on the respective first and second hub portions. Each of the rotor segments has a respective set of magnets spaced circumferentially therearound. The rotor hub and the rotor segments are configured so that at least one of the rotor segments moves about the axis of rotation relative to the other of the rotor segments as the rotor hub rotates. The movement of the at least one of the rotor segments is an amount that increases as the speed of the rotor hub increases to reduce back electromotive force. The movement may be due to centrifugal force, which increases as speed increases, without requiring a control system to effect the movement.
