Definitions
- hybrid vehicles which are vehicles in which the primary energy derives from a combustion engine or from electric batteries; the wheels are driven by electric motors.
- the use of electric motors will eliminate the emission of polluting exhaust gas as well as simplify the motor control of the wheels.
- the electrical energy needed to charge the batteries will be taken from power stations where emission control is simpler and is practised in safer circumstances than in the case of conventional car engines.
- the power needed in vehicles varies greatly and , for a considerable period, the effect may be relatively low.
- Figure 1 are shown the variations in effect during a typical drive starting in town and continuing on main roads at a speed of 85 km/h. The average effect is as low as 20 kW, while the maximum effect at the start is approx. 120 kW.
- Half- effect, approx. 50 kW, is needed when accelerating from road junctions or when driving up steep hills.
- a consecutive load graph is shown in Figure 2, according to which the total effect , for example approx. 100 kW, could be distributed so that 40 kW would come from the combustion engine and the rest, or 60 kW, from the battery. However, during 85 % of the time only 10 kW would be needed.
- FIG 3 is shown the efficiency level as a function of the load level of a combustion engine and in Figure 4 is shown the specific fuel consumption as a function of the load level.
- a combustion has, according to the graphs, a low efficiency level 9 at a load level below 30%. It is also very difficult to achieve emission-free exhaust gasses in the lower load level ranges.
- FIG. 6 An example of this kind of division is shown in Figure 6, in which there a two combustion engines with an maximum effect of 20 kW each, the remaining power need, approx. 26 kW, being supplied by electric batteries.
- the combustion engines can be started up and run at optimal efficiency.
- the battery charge can be monitored by a computer programme, which then gives "start” or “stop” impulses to the combustion engines.
- the power division between the two engines is adjusted to allow each engine to operate within its maximum efficiency range.
- the invention is of an engine unit for hybrid cars in which the combustion unit consists of two smaller engines, which are connected to a joint generator by means of automatic connections as the need arises.
- a power unit in a hybrid vehicle could of course be used for this purpose if it was made to be easily exchangeable and connectable to a suitable transformer.
- the invention proposes that the power unit should be built into a cassette which can be easily removed from the car and connected to the normal electrical circuit of the house.
- the batteries too, should be housed in an easily removable cassette.
- the cassettes would facilitate and maintenance of the batteries. Springs could be inserted between the reverse side of the batteries and the vehicle which would enable the cassettes to serve as shock absorbers and reduce the risk of personal injury.
- Figure 7 shows a vertical projection of the cassette containing the power unit.
- Figure 8 shows a horizontal projection of the cassette.
- Figure 9 shows the power unit built into the front of the vehicle and the battery cassette in the rear of the vehicle.
- Figure 10 shows a horizontal projection of a vehicle with cassettes as described above.
- the invention also allows for the battery cassette to be located in the front of the vehicle and the power unit cassette in the rear.
- Two combustion engines 1, 2 of the otto, diesel, wankel or gas turbine type are connected by couplings 3, 4 to a gear box 5.
- the gear box 5 has a ratio of, for example, 1:2; an electric generator 6 is connected to it.
- the generator has a capacity that corresponds to the joint effect of the two engines, but because it runs with approximately twice the number of revolutions of the two engines, it is possible to reduce its size and weight.
- the engines 1 and 2 and the generator 6 with the gear 5 are mounted in a box or cassette 8, which is extractable and mounted in a frame 9 in the vehicle body.
- the power unit can be pulled out of the vehicle and connected to the normal electric system of a house via a frequency converter and a transformer.
- the vehicle can still be run on battery power, albeit with a restricted radius of action.
- the rear section 9a of the vehicle frame 9 consists of strong girders 11, 12 and between these and the cassette box 8 are fixed springs 10, which absorb the energy of the impact in a head-on collision, thus reducing the risk of personal injury.
- springs other flexible elements can of course be used, for example air and hydrauclic cylinders with pistons.
- the batteries 13 are placed in a pull-out box 14, which runs in a frame 15, which has a strong girder 16 on the inside of the gable 15a.
- the springs 17 or other flexible elements are placed between the battery box 14 and the frame 15 in order to absorb the energy of the impact if the vehicle is hit from behind.
- the outer gables 18, 19 of the cassette boxes are made out of suitable elastic material and shaped to integrate into the profile of the vehicle.
- the corner wings of the vehicle 20, 21 are shaped to fit into the profile of the vehicle and the cassette boxes. They need to be made out of some light material and also to be replaceable, since, in a collision, they will be deformed when the cassettes are squashed.
