Description

Modulares Energieversorgungssystem für Nutzfahrzeuge  Modular energy supply system for commercial vehicles
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Energieversorgungssystem für ein elektrisch angetriebenes Nutzfahrzeug, insbesondere für ein Abfallsammelfahrzeug. The present invention relates to an energy supply system for an electrically driven commercial vehicle, in particular for a refuse collection vehicle.
Bedingt durch die umwelt- und gesundheitsrelevanten Probleme herkömmlicher Verbrennungsmotoren und durch die voranschreitende Entwicklung von elektri- schen Antrieben und Batterien kommen in zunehmendem Maße elektrisch ange- triebene Nutzfahrzeuge zum Einsatz. Due to the environmental and health-related problems of conventional internal combustion engines and the advancing development of electric drives and batteries, electrically driven commercial vehicles are increasingly being used.
Dabei ist es ein bekanntes Problem, dass die Möglichkeit, elektrische Energie zum Antrieb von Nutzfahrzeugen in Batterien zu speichern und mitzuführen aufgrund der Baugröße und des Gewichts der eingesetzten Batterien limitiert ist. Die begrenzte Energiespeicherkapazität der mitgeführten Batterien beschränkt wiederum die Ein- satzreichweite der Nutzfahrzeuge. Sofern die tägliche Arbeit der eingesetzten Nutz- fahrzeuge innerhalb der maximalen Reichweite ausgeführt werden kann, ist ein normaler Einsatz möglich. Ist die zur Ausführung der Arbeit erforderliche Reichwei- te allerdings größer als die durch die mitgeführten Batterien bestimmte maximale Reichweite, kann das so ausgerüstete Nutzfahrzeug dessen Aufgaben nicht mehr erfüllen. Dies ist insbesondere dann kritisch, wenn sich die Reichweitenanforderungen nach der Auslieferung bzw. innerhalb der Lebensdauer eines Nutzfahrzeugs ändern, wenn also die Reichweitenanforderung zum Zeitpunkt der Auslieferung mit einer bestimmten Batteriekapazität erfüllbar ist, nach einer Änderung der Einsatzplanung jedoch nicht mehr. Dadurch ist die Flexibilität der Einsatzplanung gattungsgemäßer elektrisch betriebener Nutzfahrzeuge stark limitiert. It is a known problem that the ability to store and carry electrical energy for driving commercial vehicles in batteries is limited due to the size and weight of the batteries used. The limited energy storage capacity of the entrained batteries, in turn, limits the operational range of commercial vehicles. If the daily work of the commercial vehicles used can be carried out within the maximum range, normal use is possible. However, if the range required to carry out the work is greater than the maximum range determined by the batteries carried along, the commercial vehicle equipped in this way can no longer fulfill its tasks. This is particularly critical when the range requirements change after delivery or within the life of a commercial vehicle, so if the range requirement at the time of delivery with a certain battery capacity can be fulfilled after a change in the deployment planning but not more. As a result, the flexibility of use planning generic electric powered commercial vehicles is severely limited.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Energieversor- gungssystem für ein elektrisch angetriebenes Nutzfahrzeug bereitzustellen, wel- ches eine nachträgliche Änderung der maximalen Fahrzeugreichweite ohne Eingriff in die elektrische Fahrzeugarchitektur ermöglicht. It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an energy supply system for an electrically driven commercial vehicle, which enables a subsequent change of the maximum vehicle range without intervention in the electrical vehicle architecture.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Energieversorgungssystem mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den sich an den Hauptanspruch anschließenden Unteransprü- chen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a power supply system having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims to the main claim and the following description.
Demnach ist ein Energieversorgungssystem für ein elektrisch angetriebenes Nutz- fahrzeug, insbesondere für ein elektrisch angetriebenes Abfallsammelfahrzeug, vorgesehen, welches ein Fahrzeuggestell, ein erstes Antriebsmodul mit einem Elektromotor zum mechanischen Antrieb des Nutzfahrzeugs, und ein erstes Ener- giespeichermodul, welches das erste Antriebsmodul mit elektrischer Energie ver- sorgt umfasst. Ferner ist ein zweites Energiespeichermodul vorgesehen, welches wahlweise mit dem ersten Antriebsmodul, mit dem ersten Energiespeichermodul oder mit beiden Modulen reversibel verbindbar ist, wobei sämtliche Module in oder an dem Fahrzeuggestell anordenbar sind. Accordingly, an energy supply system for an electrically driven commercial vehicle, in particular for an electrically driven waste collection vehicle, is provided which includes a vehicle frame, a first drive module with an electric motor for the mechanical drive of the utility vehicle, and a first energy storage module, which the first drive module with electric Energy supply includes. Furthermore, a second energy storage module is provided, which is optionally reversibly connectable to the first drive module, with the first energy storage module or with both modules, wherein all modules in or on the vehicle frame can be arranged.
Durch die modulare Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Energieversorgungs- systems kann die Energiespeicherkapazität und somit maximale Reichweite des Nutzfahrzeugs jederzeit und einfach erweitert werden. Ein Eingriff in die bestehen- de elektrische Fahrzeugarchitektur oder sonstige aufwendige Änderungen am Nutz- fahrzeug sind dabei nicht erforderlich. Dadurch kann die Reichweite des Nutzfahr- zeugs flexibel an die jeweiligen Anforderungen der aktuellen Einsatzplanung ange- passt werden. Das Fahrzeuggestell ist dabei so konstruiert, dass es eine nachträg- liche Aufnahme bzw. Umrüstung einer Mehrzahl von zusätzlichen Modulen erlaubt. Due to the modular design of the power supply system according to the invention, the energy storage capacity and thus the maximum range of the commercial vehicle can be expanded at any time and easily. An intervention in the existing electrical vehicle architecture or other complex changes to the utility vehicle are not required. As a result, the range of the commercial vehicle can be flexibly adapted to the respective requirements of the current operational planning. The vehicle frame is constructed in such a way that it allows a subsequent admission or conversion of a plurality of additional modules.
Bei dem ersten Energiespeichermodul handelt es sich insbesondere um eine Batte- rie zur Speicherung von elektrischer Energie. Bei dem zweiten Energiespeichermo- dul kann es sich ebenfalls um eine Batterie handeln (bzw. eine solche umfassen), welche zur Aufstockung der gesamten Energiespeicherkapazität mit der ersten Bat- terie und/oder mit dem ersten Antriebsmodul verbunden werden kann. Auf diese Weise lassen sich prinzipiell mehrere Energiespeichermodule bzw. Batterien zu- sammenschalten und die gesamte Energiespeicherkapazität flexibel anpassen. Sämtliche Module lassen sich dabei in einer beliebigen Kombination zusammen- schalten, was eine hohe Flexibilität des erfindungsgemäßen Energieversorgungs- systems gewährleistet. The first energy storage module is in particular a battery for storing electrical energy. The second energy storage module can likewise be (or include) a battery which can be connected to the first battery and / or to the first drive module in order to increase the total energy storage capacity. In principle, several energy storage modules or batteries can be connected in this way and the entire energy storage capacity can be flexibly adapted. All modules can be interconnected in any combination, which ensures high flexibility of the energy supply system according to the invention.
In einer Ausführungsform ist weiterhin ein Energiewandlermodul vorgesehen, wel- ches mit dem ersten Antriebsmodul und/oder dem ersten Energiespeichermodul und/oder dem zweiten Energiespeichermodul in beliebiger Kombination reversibel verbindbar ist. Je nach Anordnung und Verbindungsschema der unterschiedlichen Module lassen sich mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Energieversorgungssystem unter- schiedliche und an die jeweiligen Anforderungen angepasste Antriebs- oder Ener- giespeicherarchitekturen realisieren. In one embodiment, an energy converter module is furthermore provided, which can be reversibly connected in any combination with the first drive module and / or the first energy storage module and / or the second energy storage module. Depending on the arrangement and connection scheme of the different modules, the drive system or energy storage architectures adapted to the respective requirements can be implemented with the energy supply system according to the invention.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das Energiewandlermodul eine Brennstoffzelle und das zweite Energiespeichermodul einen Drucktank für ei- nen Treibstoff der Brennstoffzelle umfasst. Die Brennstoffzelle kann beispielsweise mit einer Batterie und/oder dem ersten Antriebsmodul verbunden sein und elektri- sche Energie für diese bereitstellen. Dadurch kann die Notwendigkeit des regelmä- ßigen Aufladens von Batterien vermieden oder die Intervalllänge zwischen den Auf- ladezeitpunkten drastisch verlängert werden. Bei der Brennstoffzelle kann es sich insbesondere um einen Stack bzw. Zellenstapel von mehreren in Reihe geschalte- ten Brennstoffzellen handeln, um eine höhere Gesamtleistung zu erhalten. In a further embodiment it is provided that the energy converter module comprises a fuel cell and the second energy storage module comprises a pressure tank for a fuel of the fuel cell. The fuel cell may, for example, be connected to a battery and / or the first drive module and provide electrical energy for them. This avoids the need to regularly recharge batteries or drastically increases the interval between charging times. The fuel cell may be In particular, to act a stack or cell stack of several series-connected fuel cells to obtain a higher overall performance.
Ferner kann es sich bei dem in dem Drucktank lagerbaren Treibstoff der Brenn- stoffzelle um Wasserstoff oder Methan handeln. Auch andere Treibstoffe sind hier denkbar. Es können ferner mehrere Energiespeichermodule mit Drucktanks zur Lagerung von mehreren Treibstoffen vorgesehen sein. Dabei ist das zweite Ener- giespeichermodul vorzugsweise derart an oder in dem Fahrzeuggestell angeordnet, dass der Drucktank von außerhalb des Nutzfahrzeugs zugänglich ist, insbesondere zum Zwecke einer Betankung bzw. Nachfüllung des Treibstoffs. Ferner kann das Energiewandlermodul und/oder das zweite Energiespeichermodul Transport-, Ab- fuhr-, Aufbereitungs- und/oder Lagermittel für Prozesswasser umfassen. Furthermore, the fuel of the fuel cell storable in the pressure tank can be hydrogen or methane. Other fuels are conceivable here. There may also be provided a plurality of energy storage modules with pressure tanks for storing a plurality of fuels. In this case, the second energy storage module is preferably arranged on or in the vehicle frame such that the pressure tank is accessible from outside the utility vehicle, in particular for the purpose of fueling or refilling the fuel. Furthermore, the energy converter module and / or the second energy storage module may comprise transport, discharge, treatment and / or storage means for process water.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist weiterhin ein zweites Antriebsmodul vorge- sehen, welches mit allen Modulen des Energieversorgungssystems in beliebiger Kombination reversibel verbindbar ist. Durch die flexible Anorden- und Verbindbar- keit des zweiten Antriebsmoduls lassen sich verschiedene Antriebssysteme reali sieren, ohne die Fahrzeugarchitektur verändern zu müssen. So können die beiden Antriebsmodule beispielsweise einen seriellen oder parallelen Antrieb bilden, oder beides, wobei durch eine entsprechende Steuerung je nach Bedarf zwischen paral- lelem oder seriellem Betrieb umgeschaltet werden kann. Bei einem seriellen Betrieb unterstützt das zweite Antriebsmodul das erste Antriebsmodul, wobei das erste An- triebsmodul vorzugsweise mit dem Fahrzeuggetriebe oder der Antriebsachse ver- bunden ist. Bei einem parallelen Betrieb treiben dagegen beide Antriebsmodule gemeinsam das Nutzfahrzeug an, beispielsweise indem beide Antriebsmodule mit dem Fahrzeuggetriebe oder der Antriebsachse verbunden sind. In a further embodiment, a second drive module is further provided, which is reversibly connectable with all modules of the power supply system in any combination. Due to the flexible connectivity and connectivity of the second drive module, different drive systems can be realized without having to change the vehicle architecture. Thus, for example, the two drive modules can form a serial or parallel drive, or both, it being possible to switch between parallel or serial operation by means of a corresponding control as required. In a serial operation, the second drive module supports the first drive module, wherein the first drive module is preferably connected to the vehicle transmission or the drive axle. In a parallel operation, on the other hand, both drive modules jointly drive the utility vehicle, for example by connecting both drive modules to the vehicle transmission or the drive axle.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das zweite Antriebsmodul einen Verbrennungsmotor umfasst. In diesem Fall kann weiterhin ein zusätzliches Energiespeichermodul vorgesehen sein, welches einen Treibstofftank für den Ver- brennungsmotor umfasst. Ferner ist der Treibstofftank vorteilhafterweise von au- ßerhalb des Nutzfahrzeugs zugänglich, beispielsweise um Treibstoff nachtanken bzw. nachfüllen zu können. Um bei einem seriellen Antrieb mittels der beiden An- triebsmodule die mechanische Leistung des Verbrennungsmotors in elektrische Leistung zur Unterstützung des Elektromotors oder zur Aufladung einer Batterie umwandeln zu können, kann ferner ein weiteres Modul mit einem elektrischen Ge- nerator vorgesehen sein. Das zweite Antriebsmodul kann aber auch alternativ ei- nen Elektromotor umfassen. In a further embodiment it is provided that the second drive module comprises an internal combustion engine. In this case, an additional energy storage module may further be provided, which comprises a fuel tank for the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, the fuel tank is advantageously accessible from outside the commercial vehicle, for example fueling fuel or refill. In order to be able to convert the mechanical power of the internal combustion engine into electrical power for supporting the electric motor or for charging a battery in a serial drive by means of the two drive modules, a further module with an electrical generator can also be provided. Alternatively, the second drive module may comprise an electric motor.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist weiterhin ein Steuermodul zur Steuerung und/oder Regelung der unterschiedlichen Module vorgesehen, welches mit allen Modulen des Energieversorgungssystems in beliebiger Kombination reversibel ver- bindbar ist. In a further embodiment, a control module for controlling and / or regulating the different modules is furthermore provided, which can be reversibly connected to all modules of the energy supply system in any desired combination.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist weiterhin ein Systemmodul vorgesehen, wel- ches mit allen Modulen des Energieversorgungssystems in beliebiger Kombination reversibel verbindbar ist, wobei das Systemmodul vorzugsweise Komponenten zur Kühlung und/oder Heizung der Module und/oder Sensoren zur Erfassung von min- destens einem Zustandsparameter eines oder mehrerer Module umfasst. Mehrere unterschiedliche Systemmodule können dabei mit den unterschiedlichen Modulen des Energieversorgungssystems reversibel verbindbar sein, um verschiedene Funktionen erfüllen zu können. In a further embodiment, furthermore, a system module is provided, which can be reversibly connected to all modules of the energy supply system in any combination, the system module preferably comprising components for cooling and / or heating the modules and / or sensors for detecting at least one state parameter one or more modules. Several different system modules can be reversibly connected to the different modules of the power supply system in order to fulfill various functions.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass alle Module wenigstens eine Schnittstelle zur reversiblen Bildung von Verbindungen zwischen den Modulen aufweisen. Dabei kann die Schnittstelle einen Anschluss für die Energieversorgung und/oder einen Hardwareanschluss, d.h. einen Anschluss für die mechanische An- bindung der Module, und/oder einen Anschluss für die zum Betrieb der Module er- forderlichen Medien wie beispielsweise Treibstoffe, Prozesswasser, etc. umfassen. Die Schnittstellen der Module werden dabei bereits bei der Herstellung berücksich- tigt und erlauben nach der Auslieferung, d.h. während des Betriebs des Nutzfahr- zeugs eine flexible Anordnung und Verbindung der einzelnen Module, um unter- schiedliche Antriebs- und Energieversorgungsarchitekturen zu realisieren und an den jeweiligen Bedarf anzupassen. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das Fahrzeuggestell Auf- nahmen zur mechanischen Aufnahme der unterschiedlichen Module aufweist. Die Aufnahmen können entweder unterschiedlich ausgestaltet sein, um jeweils ent- sprechend ihrer Funktion unterschiedlich gestaltete Module aufnehmen zu können, oder sie können identisch oder im Wesentlichen identisch ausgestaltet sein, um eine höhere Flexibilität bei der Anordnung zu ermöglichen. Die Aufnahmen können ferner Fixierungsmittel umfassen, mittels welchen die einzelnen Module in den je- weiligen Aufnahmen reversibel befestigbar sind. In a further embodiment, it is provided that all modules have at least one interface for the reversible formation of connections between the modules. In this case, the interface may have a connection for the power supply and / or a hardware connection, ie a connection for the mechanical connection of the modules, and / or a connection for the media required for operating the modules, such as, for example, fuels, process water, etc. include. The interfaces of the modules are already taken into account during production and, after delivery, ie during operation of the commercial vehicle, allow a flexible arrangement and connection of the individual modules in order to realize different drive and energy supply architectures and to the respective ones Need to adapt. In a further embodiment, it is provided that the vehicle frame has receptacles for mechanically receiving the different modules. The recordings can either be configured differently in order to be able to record differently designed modules according to their function, or they can be identical or essentially identical in order to allow greater flexibility in the arrangement. The receptacles may further comprise fixing means by means of which the individual modules can be reversibly fastened in the respective receptacles.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Aufnahmen elektrische Schnittstellen aufweisen, über welche die von dem Fahrzeuggestell aufgenomme- nen Module untereinander elektrisch verbunden sind und über welche elektrische Energie zwischen den Modulen übertragbar ist. Ferner ist es denkbar, dass ein Steuermodul vorgesehen ist, welches nicht direkt mit den anderen Modulen des Energieversorgungssystems elektrisch verbunden ist, sondern indirekt über die elektrischen Schnittstellen des Fahrzeuggestells. So lässt sich leicht und ohne eine komplizierte Verkabelungsstrategie ein elektrisches Verbindungsnetzwerk zwischen allen Modulen hersteilen. In a further embodiment it is provided that the receptacles have electrical interfaces via which the modules received by the vehicle frame are electrically interconnected and via which electrical energy can be transmitted between the modules. Furthermore, it is conceivable that a control module is provided which is not electrically connected directly to the other modules of the power supply system, but indirectly via the electrical interfaces of the vehicle frame. This makes it easy to create an electrical connection network between all modules without the need for a complicated cabling strategy.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Aufnahmen so ausge- staltet sind, dass sie von außen zugänglich sind und ein nachträgliches Einbringen oder Flerausnehmen der Module erlauben. Dadurch kann die Antriebs- und/oder Energieversorgungsarchitektur des Nutzfahrzeugs einfach nachträglich geändert werden, indem die entsprechenden Module umgerüstet, nachgerüstet und/oder ent- fernt werden. In a further embodiment it is provided that the receptacles are designed so that they are accessible from the outside and allow a subsequent introduction or Flerausnehmen of the modules. As a result, the drive and / or energy supply architecture of the commercial vehicle can be easily changed later by retrofitting, retrofitting and / or removing the corresponding modules.
Weitere Merkmale, Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den anhand der Figuren erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen. Es zeigen: Further features, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the illustrated with reference to FIGS embodiments. Show it:

In der Figur 1 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Modulanordnung und -Verbindung des erfindungsgemäßen Energieversorgungssystems schematisch dargestellt. Das Fahrzeuggestell 10 des Nutzfahrzeugs, in welchem die Module angeordnet sind, ist als gestrichelter Rahmen gezeigt, während die Verbindungen zwischen den Modu- len durch Pfeile angedeutet sind. Dabei kann es sich um elektrische Verbindungen, mechanische Verbindungen (beispielsweise mittels einer Welle), Verbindungen zur Übertragung von Medien wie beispielsweise Treibstoff oder Wasser oder andere Verbindungen handeln. FIG. 1 shows schematically an exemplary embodiment of the module arrangement and connection of the energy supply system according to the invention. The vehicle frame 10 of the commercial vehicle in which the modules are arranged is shown as a dashed frame, while the connections between the modules are indicated by arrows. These may be electrical connections, mechanical connections (for example by means of a shaft), connections for the transmission of media such as, for example, fuel or water or other compounds.
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind lediglich drei Module vorgesehen: ein erstes Antriebsmodul 12, ein erstes Energiespeichermodul 14 sowie ein Steuermodul 22 zur Steuerung und/oder Regelung des durch die Module und deren Verbindung realisierten Energieversorgungssystems. Das erste Antriebsmodul 12 umfasst ei- nen Elektromotor, welcher mit einem Getriebe bzw. der Antriebswelle 11 des Nutz- fahrzeugs verbunden ist und dieses antreibt. Die elektrische Energie zum Antrieb des Elektromotors wird durch eine Batterie des ersten Energiespeichermoduls 14 bereitgestellt. Wie durch den Doppelpfeil angedeutet ist, kann beispielsweise beim Bremsen erzeugte Energie wieder in die Batterie eingespeist werden (elektromoto- rische Bremse). Dabei wird beim Bremsvorgang der Elektromotor des ersten An- triebsmoduls 12 als Generator genutzt. Das Steuermodul 22 ist über elektrische Schnittstellen an bzw. in den Modulaufnahmen des Fahrzeuggestells 10 mit den übrigen Modulen 12, 14 verbunden. In this exemplary embodiment, only three modules are provided: a first drive module 12, a first energy storage module 14 and a control module 22 for controlling and / or regulating the energy supply system realized by the modules and their connection. The first drive module 12 comprises an electric motor, which is connected to a transmission or the drive shaft 11 of the commercial vehicle and drives it. The electrical energy for driving the electric motor is provided by a battery of the first energy storage module 14. As indicated by the double arrow, for example, energy generated during braking can be fed back into the battery (electro-magnetic brake). During the braking process, the electric motor of the first drive module 12 used as a generator. The control module 22 is connected via electrical interfaces to or in the module receptacles of the vehicle frame 10 with the other modules 12, 14.
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das zweite Energiespeichermodul 16 nicht in das Fahrzeuggestell eingebaut. Dies kann beispielsweise dann sinnvoll sein, wenn das Nutzfahrzeug gemäß dessen Einsatzplanung Aufgaben innerhalb der maximalen Reichweite durchführen soll, die durch die in der Batterie des ersten Energiespei- chermoduls 14 speicherbaren Energie bestimmt ist. In diesem Fall ist kein zusätzli- ches Energiespeichermodul 16 erforderlich und ein Mitführen würde lediglich zu einer unnötigen Gewichtszunahme des Nutzfahrzeugs führen. Stattdessen kann das zweite Energiespeichermodul 16 extern bereitgehalten werden und im Falle einer Änderung der Einsatzplanung, die eine größere Reichweite des Nutzfahr- zeugs erfordert, jederzeit nachträglich eingebaut werden. In this embodiment, the second energy storage module 16 is not installed in the vehicle frame. This may be useful, for example, if the commercial vehicle is to carry out tasks within its maximum range according to its deployment planning, which is determined by the energy that can be stored in the battery of the first energy storage module 14. In this case, no additional energy storage module 16 is required and entrainment would merely result in unnecessary weight gain of the commercial vehicle. Instead, the second energy storage module 16 can be kept externally and can be retrofitted at any time in the event of a change in the deployment planning, which requires a longer range of the utility vehicle.
In der Figur 2 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Modulanordnung und - Verbindung des erfindungsgemäßen Energieversorgungssystems dargestellt, bei dem das zweite Energiespeichermodul 16 in das Fahrzeuggestell 11 eingebaut und mit den anderen Modulen 12, 14 verbunden ist. Dadurch ist die gesamte Energie- speicherkapazität und somit die maximale Reichweite des Nutzfahrzeugs gegen- über dem in der Figur 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel erhöht. Insbesondere um- fasst das zweite Energiespeichermodul 16 in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls eine Batterie, und kann identisch oder unterschiedlich zum ersten Energiespei- chermodul 14 ausgebildet sein. Ferner ist das zweite Energiespeichermodul 16 so- wohl mit dem ersten Energiespeichermodul 14 als auch mit dem ersten Antriebs- modul 12 verbunden, so dass die zusätzliche Energie direkt oder über das erste Energiespeichermodul 14 für den Elektromotor zur Verfügung steht. FIG. 2 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the module arrangement and connection of the energy supply system according to the invention, in which the second energy storage module 16 is installed in the vehicle frame 11 and connected to the other modules 12, 14. As a result, the total energy storage capacity and thus the maximum range of the utility vehicle is increased compared to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. In particular, the second energy storage module 16 in this exemplary embodiment also comprises a battery, and may be identical or different from the first energy storage module 14. Furthermore, the second energy storage module 16 is connected both to the first energy storage module 14 and to the first drive module 12, so that the additional energy is available directly or via the first energy storage module 14 for the electric motor.
In der Figur 3 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Modulanordnung und - Verbindung des erfindungsgemäßen Energieversorgungssystems dargestellt, bei dem zusätzlich ein Energiewandlermodul 18 und ein Luftzufuhrmodul 17 vorgese- hen ist. Das Energiewandlermodul 18 umfasst eine Brennstoffzelle (bzw. einen Stapel von mehreren seriell geschalteten Brennstoffzellen), welche elektrische Energie zur Aufladung der Batterie des ersten Energiespeichermoduls 14 und für den Elektromotor des ersten Antriebsmoduls 12 zur Verfügung stellt. Ob die durch die Brennstoffzelle erzeugte elektrische Energie in die Batterie eingespeist oder direkt zum Antrieb des Elektromotors genutzt wird, kann je nach aktueller Anforde- rung über das Steuermodul 22 gesteuert werden. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass lediglich eine der beiden Verbindungsmöglichkeiten permanent realisiert ist und keine Steuerung erforderlich ist. FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the module arrangement and connection of the energy supply system according to the invention, in which an energy converter module 18 and an air supply module 17 are additionally provided. The energy converter module 18 includes a fuel cell (or a Stack of a plurality of series-connected fuel cells), which provides electrical energy for charging the battery of the first energy storage module 14 and for the electric motor of the first drive module 12. Whether the electrical energy generated by the fuel cell is fed into the battery or used directly to drive the electric motor can be controlled via the control module 22 depending on the current requirements. But it is also conceivable that only one of the two connection options is permanently realized and no control is required.
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel umfasst das zweite Energiespeichermodul 16 keine Batterie, sondern einen Drucktank zur Lagerung eines Treibstoffs der Brennstoffzel- le. Dabei kann es sich beispielsweise um Wasserstoff oder Methan oder einen an- deren geeigneten Treibstoff handeln. Ein weiteres Modul 17 umfasst eine Luftzu- fuhrvorrichtung zur Versorgung der Kathode(n) der Brennstoffzelle mit Sauerstoff. Die Luftzufuhrvorrichtung kann auch in das Energiewandlermodul 18 selbst inte griert sein. Zusätzlich kann ein weiteres Systemmodul zur Abfuhr, Lagerung, Aufbe- reitung und/oder Transport von Prozesswasser vorgesehen sein. Alternativ kann diese Aufgabe auch von dem Luftzufuhrmodul 17 oder dem Energiewandlermodul 18 übernommen werden. Der Drucktank des zweiten Energiespeichermoduls 16 weist ferner eine Öffnung auf, über die der Treibstoff von außerhalb des Nutzfahr- zeugs nachgetankt werden kann. In this exemplary embodiment, the second energy storage module 16 does not comprise a battery, but rather a pressure tank for storing a fuel of the fuel cell. This may be, for example, hydrogen or methane or another suitable fuel. Another module 17 comprises an air supply device for supplying the cathode (s) of the fuel cell with oxygen. The air supply device may also be inte grated into the energy converter module 18 itself. In addition, a further system module for the removal, storage, processing and / or transport of process water can be provided. Alternatively, this task can also be taken over by the air supply module 17 or the energy converter module 18. The pressure tank of the second energy storage module 16 also has an opening, via which the fuel can be refueled from outside the commercial vehicle.
In der Figur 4 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Modulanordnung und - Verbindung des erfindungsgemäßen Energieversorgungssystems dargestellt, bei dem zusätzlich zu der in der Figur 2 gezeigten Anordnung ein zweites Antriebsmo- dul 20 vorgesehen ist. Das zweite Antriebsmodul 20 umfasst in diesem Ausfüh- rungsbeispiel einen Verbrennungsmotor und ist parallel zu dem Elektromotor des ersten Antriebsmoduls 12 mit dem Getriebe bzw. der Antriebswelle 11 des Nutz- fahrzeugs verbunden. Der Treibstoff zum Antrieb des Verbrennungsmotors ist in einem dritten Energiespeichermodul 21 gelagert und kann ebenfalls von außerhalb des Nutzfahrzeugs nachgetankt werden. Bei dieser Modulanordnung handelt es sich also um einen parallelen Hybridantrieb mit zusätzlicher Energieversorgung durch eine Brennstoffzelle. FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the module arrangement and connection of the energy supply system according to the invention, in which a second drive module 20 is provided in addition to the arrangement shown in FIG. In this exemplary embodiment, the second drive module 20 comprises an internal combustion engine and is connected in parallel with the electric motor of the first drive module 12 to the transmission or drive shaft 11 of the commercial vehicle. The fuel for driving the internal combustion engine is stored in a third energy storage module 21 and can also be refueled from outside the commercial vehicle. This module arrangement is So it is a parallel hybrid drive with additional power supply by a fuel cell.
Alternativ kann es sich bei dem Motor des zweiten Antriebsmoduls 20 um einen zweiten Elektromotor handeln. Dieser kann in gleicher Weise wie der Elektromotor des ersten Antriebsmoduls 12 von einer oder mehreren Batterien mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden. Alternatively, the motor of the second drive module 20 may be a second electric motor. This can be supplied in the same way as the electric motor of the first drive module 12 of one or more batteries with electrical energy.
In der Figur 5 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Modulanordnung und - Verbindung des erfindungsgemäßen Energieversorgungssystems dargestellt, bei dem im Unterschied zu der in der Figur 4 gezeigten Anordnung das zweite An- triebsmodul 20 nicht parallel das Nutzfahrzeug antreibt, sondern zum seriellen An- trieb zusammen mit dem Elektromotor eingesetzt wird. Da es sich bei dem Motor des zweiten Antriebsmoduls 20 in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel um einen Verbren- nungsmotor handelt, ist für den seriellen Antrieb ein zusätzliches Modul 24 mit ei- nem Generator nötig, welcher die mechanische Leistung des Verbrennungsmotors in elektrische Leistung zum Antrieb bzw. zur Unterstützung des Elektromotors des ersten Antriebsmoduls 12 umwandelt. Dabei kann entweder der Elektromotor direkt mit der elektrischen Energie des Generators 24 versorgt werden, oder die Energie kann zur Aufladung der Batterie des ersten Energiespeichermoduls 14 (sowie evtl weiterer Energiespeichermodule) eingesetzt werden. Bei dieser Modulanordnung handelt es sich also um einen seriellen Hybridantrieb mit zusätzlicher Energiever- sorgung durch eine Brennstoffzelle. FIG. 5 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the module arrangement and connection of the energy supply system according to the invention, in which, unlike the arrangement shown in FIG. 4, the second drive module 20 does not drive the commercial vehicle in parallel, but for serial drive together with it the electric motor is used. Since the engine of the second drive module 20 in this exemplary embodiment is a combustion engine, an additional module 24 with a generator is necessary for the serial drive, which converts the mechanical power of the internal combustion engine into electrical power for the drive Support of the electric motor of the first drive module 12 converts. In this case, either the electric motor can be supplied directly with the electrical energy of the generator 24, or the energy can be used to charge the battery of the first energy storage module 14 (and possibly further energy storage modules). This module arrangement is therefore a serial hybrid drive with additional energy supply by a fuel cell.
Die unterschiedlichen Modulanordnungen der verschiedenen gezeigten Ausfüh- rungsbeispiele können selbstverständlich miteinander sowie mit weiteren Modulen bzw. Modulanordnungen kombiniert werden. Durch die Nachrüstbarkeit lassen sich viele verschiedene Antriebs- und/oder Energieversorgungsarten bzw. Energiespei- cherarten realisieren und jederzeit einfach Umrüsten. Eine mit dem erfindungsge- mäßen modularen Energieversorgungssystem ausgestattete Flotte von Nutzfahr- zeugen lässt sich daher sehr flexibel einsetzen und ermöglicht eine bedarfsgerecht te und flexible Einsatzplanung, welche nicht durch die Herstellungsparameter der Nutzfahrzeuge limitiert ist. Of course, the different module arrangements of the various embodiments shown can be combined with one another as well as with further modules or module arrangements. Due to the retrofittability, many different drive and / or energy supply types or energy storage types can be realized and easily retrofitted at any time. A fleet of commercial vehicles equipped with the modular energy supply system according to the invention can therefore be used very flexibly and makes it possible to meet requirements te and flexible deployment planning, which is not limited by the manufacturing parameters of commercial vehicles.
