Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hybrid driving device and a clutch/damper mechanism therefor.
  • a parallel hybrid driving device having an engine disconnection mechanism integrated with a torsional vibration damper into a single unit.
  • This invention has particular use in a heavy military vehicle such as a tank.
  • a parallel hybrid vehicle normally consists of an engine providing torque to a transmission and a motor/generator connected to the drive train of the vehicle to add power or to take it according to the circumstances.
  • the motor/generator acts as a motor
  • torque provided to the drive train is added to that provided by the engine.
  • the motor/generator can function as a boost motor to improve acceleration and mobility. It can also act instead of the engine, functioning as the drive motor when a low driving speed is required to allow engine to stop, subject to the state of charge (SOC) of the battery. This may avoid the engine working in an inefficient manner.
  • SOC state of charge
  • the motor also tends to turn the engine at the same time, thereby wasting a lot of energy.
  • PTO power take off
  • It can also function as a power absorption device, generating electricity (regenerative braking) from excess speed and decelerating the vehicle or reducing its acceleration, for example when descending a slope, whenever the battery management system allows it to do so. This further improves fuel economy and extends the service life of the mechanical brake.
  • U.S. Pat. No 5,773,904 issued to Schiebold et al, discloses an external rotor electric machine (synchronous motor) with two switchable clutches within the motor stator. The arrangement is intended to improve the torque provided by the motor and to reduce the axial length of the hybrid power train compared with when the rotor is between the two clutches.

  • a multi-disc clutch incorporating a spring damper mechanism resides in the torus drum, which is radially aligned inside the rotor of the motor/generator. The clutch/damper bridges and cushions or releases the drive torque from the engine/motor to the input shaft of the transmission. During pure electric drive the motor/generator has to crank the engine.

Any major shocks, for example from bumps, sudden acceleration or the like, will tend to cause a sudden speed change in one of the engine crankshaft 14 and transmission input shaft 18. These will translate into a difference in speed between the damper plate 110 on the one hand and the inner race 104 and cover plate 112 on the other.
  • the sides of the spring recesses 134 and holes 114 will press against the sides of the springs 122 in one direction or the other, which will compress, thereby allowing a smoother change of speed without a shock.

They are substantially the same length as the distance between the sides of the two clutch member holders 106, 108, but are taller than the distance between the adjacent, friction surfaces of the outer and inner races 102, 104. Therefore they are angled relative to those two surfaces, with the recesses within the two clutch member holders 106, 108 preventing them from falling over. Further, two spring strings 144, 146, pass around the clutch layer, one passing through a hole passing through one end of each sprag 140 and the other passing through a hole passing through the other end of each sprag 140.
  • the holes are generally square relative to the sprags (making them angled relative to the friction surfaces of the races), so that the spring tension tends to pull the sprags 140 in the direction of being upright, thereby biasing them so that they are normally in good contact with the adjacent surfaces of the outer and inner races 102, 104.
  • the direction in which the sprags 140 are angled determines the direction in which the clutch works.
  • the recesses within the clutch member holders 106, 108, which hold the sprags 140, are trapeziums in cross-section, as shown, which allows the sprags 140 to be angled in either direction, according to the setup and clutch direction required during construction.

They are coaxial with the central axis of the clutch/damper unit 16 and are held within generally cylindrical recesses but which lack side walls facing the adjacent surfaces of the outer and inner races 102, 104. The rollers ensure that the outer and inner races 102, 104 remain concentric. The rollers are shorter than the distance between the sides of the two clutch member holders 106, 108, as the two spring strings 144, 146 do not pass through them, but have to pass around their ends.

  • the two races 102, 104 tend to move relative to each other (the outer race 102 anti-clockwise relative to the inner race 104).
  • tops and bottom surfaces of the sprags 140 being in contact with the inner surface of the outer race 102 and the outer surface of the inner race 104, respectively (due to the bias of the string springs 144, 146), also therefore tend to rotate anti-clockwise. In doing this, they lock those two surfaces and thereby the two races 102, 104 together, thereby engaging the engine power to the transmission input shaft 18 via the damping mechanism. This will also drive the motor/generator 22 in the same direction as the engine (if it is not already acting as a motor and turning in that direction anyway). It can then work as a generator to provide electricity for vehicle usage and/or to charge the battery. Upon vehicle braking, the engine throttle is released thereby reducing the engine speed.
  • the transmission shaft will tend to rotate faster than the engine, causing inner race 104 to tend to rotate faster than outer race 102 in the anti-clockwise direction.
  • This action releases the sprags 140, causing them to lose firm contact with the surfaces of the outer and inner races 102, 104 and tip further in the direction in which they are angled.
  • the two races 102, 104 are therefore free to rotate relative to each other, using the rollers 142, and hence the power path is disconnected from the transmission shaft 18 to the engine 12.
  • the outer race 102 still rotates with the engine at idling speed while the inner race 104 rotates faster with the transmission input shaft 18. This continues to rotate the motor/generator 22 and can be used to generate electricity to recharge the battery.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un entraînement hybride parallèle comportant un moteur (12) et une transmission (20) ayant un moteur/générateur (22) insérés entre eux, via une prise de force (22) en vue de fournir ou d'absorber une puissance provenant du train de transmission. Un dispositif (16) présentant des fonctions d'embrayage à roue libre et d'amortissement de vibration torsionnelle est intégré dans une unité plane de disque compact à haricots (140) alignée de façon spécifique et des roulements (142) formant le mécanisme à roue libre au niveau de la partie interne. Le tambour (102) du mécanisme à roue libre est directement relié au volant cinétique (52) alors que la plaque centrale du mécanisme d'amortissement est couplée par cannelures à l'arbre d'entrée (18) de la transmission. Ceci permet d'obtenir une configuration très compacte et robuste, qui empêche également que de fortes charges par à-coups soient transmises à l'arbre d'entrée de transmission (18) et au moteur/générateur (22) durant le démarrage/arrêt du moteur, tout en permettant la déconnexion du moteur lors de conduite électrique et de freinage régénératif, de sorte que l'utilisation d'énergie soit maximisée. Cela assure également une transition sans heurt entre la conduite électrique et la conduite motorisée ou lors de conduite combinée, et vice versa.
