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.

A method and system provide for the cooperative charging of electric vehicles. By using power line communications, chargers of the electric vehicles who are serviced by the same distribution transformer can form self-contained local area networks due to the nature of power line communications (PLCs). Alternatively, or in addition to the PLCs, other communication networks, such as the Internet and local area networks, may be used as part of the communications infrastructure for the chargers. After the chargers of the electric vehicles are coupled to one another through power line communications or traditional communications networks, they can form a logical token ring network. According to this token ring network, a predetermined number of tokens can be assigned within the token ring network for permitting chargers with tokens to charge respective electric vehicles while chargers without tokens must wait until they receive a token to initiate charging.

The vehicle may be all-battery or may be a hybrid, and may have a composite body. The vehicle battery system may be housed within the floor of the vehicle and may have different groupings and arrangements. 1a lithium titanate battery power source, wherein the lithium titanate battery power source includes a plurality of battery packs and is housed within a floor structure of the heavy-duty vehicle such that individual battery packs are individually mounted into cavities within the floor structure.. A heavy-duty vehicle comprising: This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/459,074, filed Jun. 26, 2009, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/076,480, filed Jun. 27, 2008, which applications are entirely incorporated herein by reference.This invention was made with the support of the United States government under the National Fuel Cell Bus program, Project ID numbers GA-04-7001, GA-04-7002 by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).In recent years, hybrid and electric vehicles, which are provided with a battery, have been proposed, and some of them have been put into practice, to effectively use energy, in particular, regenerative energy as environmental measures. Typically, secondary batteries, which have been put to into practice and installed in vehicles so far, include, for example, lead storage batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, or high powered lithium ion batteries.The use of such batteries provide many challenges such as thermal degradation, or the requirement of significant volumes or space due to low capacity. Such batteries may be heavy, which can lead to decreased performance of vehicles. Furthermore, the active materials of the electrodes are low in the rate of occluding and discharging ions, and hence efficient charging cannot be achieved ...

To provide a controller of a rotary electric machine which can prevent the vibration torque component to be outputted by the rotary electric machine from being upper-limited by the maximum output torque of the rotary electric machine. A controller of a rotary electric machine decreases an amplitude of the vibration torque command value so that a vibration maximum value obtained by adding an amplitude of a vibration torque command value to a basic torque command value becomes less than or equal to an upper limit command value; and calculates a value obtained by upper-limiting an addition torque command value, which is obtained by adding the vibration torque command value to the basic torque command value, by the upper limit command value, as a final torque command value.

A motor drive control device is capable of reducing gear rattling noise generated in a speed reducer without increasing size of the speed reducer and the number of components. A motor ECU controls a motor to generate a reverse set torque (Tn) when a target torque (T*) is reversed (at a time t). The motor ECU sequentially calculates a backlash (B) in a counter gear mechanism, and sets a time period (D) in which the reverse set torque (Tn) is generated by the motor and a time period (D) in which a return set torque (Tp) is generated by the motor so that the backlash (B) at a current time becomes equal to a time integrated value (corresponding to an area A) of an estimated relative velocity (V−V) until a time of reabutment. 1.

Output bump management in a strong hybrid vehicle

Номер: US20160039406A1

Автор: Chia-Shang Liu, Robert L. Morris, Shaochun Ye

Принадлежит: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC

A method for managing output bump/clunk in a neutral state in a strong hybrid vehicle includes calculating a motor torque for an electric traction motor connected to a third node of a planetary gear set. The motor torque is calculated as a product of a predetermined inertia of the electric traction motor, the calculated acceleration of the engine, and a gear ratio of the planetary gear set. The calculated motor torque is commanded from the electric traction motor via a controller in a direction opposite the calculated acceleration of the output shaft, including transmitting a motor torque command to the electric traction motor for the duration of the neutral state. The vehicle includes the engine, a damper assembly, the transmission, and the controller.
