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 collection of diagnostic and troubleshooting information associated with a power driven wheelchair is stored for access by a microcontroller to be displayed to a user to assist in troubleshooting the power driven wheelchair. A log of fault codes transmitted by various fault-detecting mechanisms is compiled. A user may request display of diagnostic information associated with a selected fault code. The operating instructions of a power driven wheelchair may be updated by using portable storage media onto which a latest version of operating instructions is loaded to transfer the updated operating instructions to wheelchair controller memory. The calibration of a power driven wheelchair can be simplified by providing functionality within the wheelchair controller to change calibration parameters or to transfer calibration parameters from portable storage media.

A powertrain system includes a torque machine mechanically rotatably coupled via a transfer gear set to a drive wheel. The transfer gear set includes a first gear meshingly engaged to a second gear with lash angle between the first and second gears. A method for operating the powertrain system includes monitoring an output speed associated with the torque machine and a wheel speed associated with the drive wheel. A transition between a first torque transfer state and a second torque transfer state is detected, the transition including a gear lash event across the transfer gear set. An elapsed time period for completing the gear lash event across the transfer gear set during the transition between the first torque transfer state and the second torque transfer state is set, and a target output speed derived from the wheel speed during and at the end of the elapsed time period is determined. A preferred output speed profile during the gear lash event is also determined, and includes prescribed changes in the output speed associated with phase-shifting the lash angle from a minimum lash angle to a maximum lash angle. The output speed is adjusted to be substantially equal to the target output speed at the end of the elapsed time period. The torque machine is controlled to achieve the preferred output speed profile.

A flanged bearing ring ( 10 ) for the wheel of a motor vehicle includes two different materials joined as a single piece: a tubular core ( 15 ) and an outer body ( 16 ) around the core. The outer body forms a radial flange ( 17 ) and is made of a lighter material than that of the core. At the axially outer end of the ring, at the side where the flange ( 17 ) is provided, the interface surfaces between the outer body ( 16 ) and the core ( 15 ) terminate in a groove ( 21 ) formed partly in the outer body and partly in the core. The groove ( 21 ) accommodates a sealing ring ( 22 ) made of rubber-like or elastomeric material which presses against both the outer body ( 16 ) and the core ( 15 ) so as to seal continuously, along an entire circumference around the axis (x), a separation line ( 23 ) between the core ( 15 ) and the outer body ( 16 ).

In a configuration in which an auxiliary power supply is connected to an intermediate link circuit of a main conversion unit, intermediate link voltage as input voltage of the auxiliary power supply is set at higher voltage depending on the main conversion unit as a main unit, and loss generated in a main circuit element of the auxiliary power supply increases; therefore, a problem has occurred that a cooling unit has to be increased in size. The main conversion unit recognizes a low-speed and stop state by monitoring a vehicle speed, and varies the intermediate link voltage corresponding to the vehicle speed; thereby, the loss generated in the main circuit element of the auxiliary power supply is reduced at the low-speed and stop state where cooling ability is decreased; as a result, small sizing and light weighting of the cooling unit is achieved.

The spring washers 22 allow consistent load over long periods of wear. When each tire 24 is properly loaded “equally” the striper 26 will have natural ability to travel in a straight forward motion over bumpy surfaces specifically grass (turf), not common with standard type differentials that power only the least resistant wheel 16 . When cornering the inside wheel 16 will slip as necessary based on the turning radius.
