Description
10 La présente invention concerne un véhicule automobile de transport deThe present invention relates to a motor vehicle for transporting
passagers à 4 roues de faible encombrement, pouvant être conduit dès l' age de 16 ans, avec et sans permis selon la motorisation (puissance Max. de 4 Kw pour un quadricycle léger et 15 Kw pour un quadricycle lourd). D'autres motorisations, d'une puissance supérieure pourront également être utilisées 15 selon une législation différente. Ces motorisations pourront être de type thermique à combustion interne ou électrique. L'architecture propre à cette invention permettra également de combiner facilement les 2 types de motorisations pour obtenir une motorisation de type hybride. La vocation de ce type de véhicule sera notamment pour une utilisation en milieu urbain. 20 A ce jour, les quadricycles lourds et légers proposés sur le marché présentent un encombrement plus important, un design de petite voiture peu valorisant et surtout sont proposées à des prix le plus souvent inaccessibles aux jeunes et aux personnes à la recherche d'un véhicule strictement urbain. La présente invention a été inspirée par la recherche d'une architecture peu encombrante, qui permette le transport de 2 personnes et qui confère au véhicule un comportement dynamique sécurisant avec des solutions techniques éprouvées et peu coûteuses. 30 Pour répondre à l'ensemble de ces exigences, l'utilisation de groupes moteur/transmission/roue de type scooter a notamment été adoptée, la position des passagers en tandem a été retenue et le nombre de 4 roues au sol a été appliqué plutôt que 3 roues. Enfin, les moteurs de type scooter ont été implantés en position latérale, permettant ainsi d'obtenir un encombrement total du véhicule de l'ordre de 2m de long pour 1,2m de large et 1,5m de hauteur. compact four - wheel - drive passengers, which can be driven from the age of 16, with and without a license depending on the engine (maximum power of 4 Kw for a light quadricycle and 15 Kw for a heavy quadricycle). Other motorizations of higher power may also be used according to different legislation. These engines may be thermal type internal combustion or electric. The architecture of this invention will also easily combine the two types of engines to obtain a hybrid type of motorization. The purpose of this type of vehicle will be especially for use in urban areas. To date, the heavy and light quadricycles offered on the market have a larger footprint, a small car design that is not very rewarding and above all are offered at prices that are most often inaccessible to young people and people looking for a vehicle. strictly urban. The present invention was inspired by the search for a space-saving architecture, which allows the transport of 2 people and which gives the vehicle a dynamic dynamic behavior with proven and inexpensive technical solutions. In order to meet all these requirements, the use of engine / transmission / wheel units of the scooter type has been adopted in particular, the position of the passengers in tandem has been retained and the number of 4 wheels on the ground has been applied instead. than 3 wheels. Finally, the motors of the scooter type have been implanted in a lateral position, thus making it possible to obtain a total overall dimensions of the vehicle of the order of 2m long, 1.2m wide and 1.5m high.
Dans le cas de l'utilisation d'un seul moteur et donc d'une seule roue arrière ~o motrice, des essais ont démontrés que la voie réduite du véhicule et sa puissance limitée de 4 à 15 Kw, permettent au conducteur de ne pas ressentir d'effet lié à cette dissymétrie de propulsion. Toutefois, si cela s'avérait nécessaire, la deuxième roue arrière pourrait être entraînée à l'aide d'un arbre de transmission relié (l'un coté à l'unique motorisation et de l'autre à une 15 transmission variable propre à cette roue et identique à celle de la première roue motorisée. In the case of the use of a single engine and therefore a single rear wheel ~ o driving, tests have shown that the reduced path of the vehicle and its limited power of 4 to 15 Kw, allow the driver not to feel effect related to this dissymmetry propulsion. However, if this proves necessary, the second rear wheel could be driven by means of a connected transmission shaft (one side to the single motor and the other to a variable transmission specific to this wheel and identical to that of the first motorized wheel.
Dans le cas de l'utilisation de 2 moteurs, la 2e roue arrière pourra être motorisée, soit par un moteur électrique de faible puissance afin de permettre 20 les manoeuvres de marche arrière, soit par un moteur électrique plus puissant pour obtenir une motorisation hybride, soit par un autre moteur thermique à combustion interne pour accroître la puissance totale. La configuration idéale étant probablement la configuration hybride en accord avec les puissances autorisées pour les quadricycles léger et lourd, soit respectivement 4 et 15 Kw. 25 Dans le cas de l'utilisation de 2 motorisations de même type, thermique à combustion interne ou électrique, si cela s'avérait nécessaire, un arbre de transmission pourrait relier les 2 moteurs. In the case of the use of two motors, the second rear wheel may be motorized, either by a low-power electric motor to allow reverse maneuvers, or by a more powerful electric motor to obtain a hybrid engine, or by another internal combustion engine to increase the total power. The ideal configuration is probably the hybrid configuration in agreement with the authorized powers for light and heavy quadricycles, respectively 4 and 15 Kw. In the case of the use of two engines of the same type, thermal internal combustion or electric, if this were necessary, a drive shaft could connect the two motors.
Un mode d'exécution de l'invention sera décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non 30 limitatif avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels : - la figure 1 est une représentation schématique de vue de côté du véhicule avec 2 passagers à bord, la figure 2 est une représentation schématique de vue de dessus du véhicule, montrant notamment l'implantation latérale du ou des moteurs et 5 celle des batteries lorsqu'elles sont nécessaires.
