Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an alternator holder for attaching an alternator to an automobile, the alternator holder comprising a main alternator support for supporting a main alternator.
- It is known to provide automobiles with two or even more alternators to increase the power production in those cases, when additional electrical components are provided in the automobile. These two alternators are mounted separately to a motor of the automobile. However, it has turned out that existing automobiles with two or even more alternators do not meet the requirements regarding liability and robustness. This is a particular problem, if the auxiliary alternator is used to supply electrical power to a sensitive application, e.g. a jammer system. Automobiles with jammer systems are used to protect convoys of endangered persons by jamming potential bombs in the vicinity.
- The invention aims at mitigating prior art problems. The invention solves the problem by an alternator holder for attaching an alternator to a mobile, the alternator holder comprising (a) a main alternator support supporting a main alternator and (b) an auxiliary alternator support for supporting an auxiliary alternator.
- The feature that the auxiliary alternator support is for supporting the auxiliary alternator means that the auxiliary alternator support is shaped such that the auxiliary alternator can directly be mounted to the alternator holder, e.g. by fastening means such as screws.
- It is an advantage of the present invention that the main alternator and the auxiliary alternator are fixed and cannot move with respect to each other. It is therefore possible to firmly fix both alternators with respect to a motor pulley of a motor of the automobile. Even under extreme conditions, a driving belt driving the main alternator and/or the auxiliary alternator safely links the alternators to the motor. Advantageously, the alternator holder according to the invention also eases upgrading an automobile from one alternator to two alternators. No qualified stuff is required. Also, once tested, the alternator holder according to the present invention may be used without further testing each upgraded automobile. Thus, the holder according to the present invention is a means for reproducible fixing two alternators to an engine of an automobile.
- In a preferred embodiment, the main alternator support and the auxiliary alternator support are arranged, such that the main alternator and the auxiliary alternator are drivable by means of a joint driving belt. This eases upgrading an automobile with an auxiliary alternator, as an existing motor pulley of the automobile's motor may be used for also driving the auxiliary alternator.
- It is preferred that the main alternator is electrically insulated with respect to the auxiliary alternator or to the alternator holder. For example, an insulating element is placed between the auxiliary alternator and the alternator holder. This is in particular advantageous, if the alternator holder is used in an automobile comprising a jammer system. In this case, the auxiliary alternator may drive the jamming system comprising a jammer antenna. Thus, the jammer antenna does not interfere with a possible electrical potential of a chassis of the automobile. Alternatively or in addition, the holder may comprise an insulating part between an adapter for mounting the holder to the motor and the support for the auxiliary alternator.
- In a preferred embodiment, the alternator holder is part of an alternator assembly additionally comprising a main alternator supported by the main alternator support and an auxiliary alternator supported by the auxiliary alternator support.
- Preferably, the alternator assembly comprises a main battery electrical connected to the main alternator and an auxiliary battery electrically connected to the auxiliary alternator. When the main alternator is electrically insulated with respect to the auxiliary alternator, the auxiliary electrical circuit comprising the auxiliary alternator and the auxiliary battery has a floating earth with respect to a main electrical circuit that comprises the main alternator and the main battery.
- It is preferred that the main alternator comprises a main pulley and the auxiliary alternator comprises an auxiliary pulley, wherein the auxiliary pulley has a smaller diameter than the main pulley. The auxiliary alternator then has a higher power output than the main alternator.
- It is preferred that the alternator assembly is part of an automobile, in particular a car, wherein the main alternator is earthed to a chassis of the automobile and the auxiliary alternator has a floating earth. If, in a preferred embodiment, the automobile comprises a jamming system, the auxiliary alternator is preferably used to power the jamming system. Thus, the jamming system has a floating earth and is independent from possibly changing electrical potentials of a chassis. It is preferred that the main alternator is connected with the electrical components of the car, such as igniting system, steering system, and motor components.
- It is turned out to be advantageous to link the auxiliary alternator to the motor in such a way that one revolution of the motor corresponds to at least two, in particular to at least three revolutions of the auxiliary alternator. This yields a high power output of the auxiliary alternator even for an idling engine.
- An embodiment of the present invention is now described with reference to the drawings, in which
- Figure 1
- depicts a perspective view of an alternator assembly according to the invention comprising an alternator holder according to the invention; and
- Figure 2
- is another perspective view of the alternator assembly according to
Figure 1 . -
Figure 1 shows analternator holder 10 comprising amain alternator support 12 and anauxiliary alternator support 14. -
Main alternator 16 electricallycontacts alternator holder 10 viascrews 20a, 20b via whichmain alternator 16 is mechanically fixed to thealternator holder 10. In contrast,auxiliary alternator 18 is insulated fromauxiliary alternator support 14 via electrical insulators, wherein inFigure 1 onlyelectrical insulators 22a, 22b are shown. -
Main alternator 16 comprises amain pulley 24 having a main pulley diameter Dm for cooperating with a driving belt (not shown). Correspondingly,auxiliary alternator 18 comprises an auxiliary pulley (not shown) that is mounted to ashaft 26.Main pulley 24 and the auxiliary pulley are oriented with respect to each other, such that the driving belt can drive both, themain alternator 16 and theauxiliary alternator 18 simultaneously. - When mounted to a motor of an automobile via a
fixing part 28, thealternators alternator holder 10. That is, thealternator holder 10 alone holds thealternator - The
alternator holder 10 may be made from e.g. aluminum, cast aluminum, or steel. It also serves as a heat bridge for thealternators alternator holder 10 is arranged, such that an air cooler of the automobile also cools thealternators - To provide for enough electrical power even at idling speed of the motor of the automobile it is advantageous to choose a transmission ratio t between the motor and the
auxiliary alternator 18 to be for example t = ¼. Thus, the auxiliary alternator rotates faster than the motor. One revolution of the motor equals to four revolutions of theauxiliary alternator 18. -
Auxiliary alternator 18 is connected to an auxiliary battery (not shown) and a jamming system. Asauxiliary alternator 18 is electrically insulated from an electrical circuit ofmain alternator 16,main alternator 16 being earthed to a chassis of the automobile,auxiliary alternator 18 has a floating ground. Thus, the main electric circuit ofmain alternator 16 and the auxiliary electric circuit ofauxiliary alternator 18 are completely decoupled and cannot influence each other. An antenna of the jamming system does not interfere with e.g. the igniting system of the motor. - It is also possible to use the alternator holder and/or the alternator assembly e.g. in an ambulance. The alternator holder may be adapted to fit with one type of automobile. If necessary, the alternator holder has be re-designed for use with a different automobile.
