Description

lO low speed. In addition to providing energy to move the vehicle, the electric hybrid drive system can be used to provide energy for a power take-off associated therewith, sometimes also referred to as an electric power take-off when driven by an electric hybrid drive system and in the vehicle; in turn provides energy for power take-off accessories.

In some vehicles, such as commercial vehicles, a power take-off may be used to drive a hydraulic pump to a vehicle-mounted hydraulic system. In some configurations, a power take-off accessory may be provided with energy while the vehicle is moving. In others, a power take-off accessory configurations may be energized while the vehicle is stationary and the vehicle is powered by the internal combustion engine. Still others can be driven while the vehicle is either stationary or in motion.

Operators are set up for the operator for each type of PTO configuration.

In some PTO applications, the specific combustion engine of the vehicle may have a capacity that renders it inefficient as a source of propulsion for the PTO application due to the relatively low energy requirements or intermittent operation of the PTO application. Under such circumstances, the electric hybrid drive system can provide energy for the power take-off, i.e. the electric motor and generator can be used instead of the internal combustion engine to support mechanical power take-off. Where energy requirements are low, the electric motor and generator will normally exhibit relatively low parasite losses compared to an internal combustion engine. quickly provided, the electric motor and generator offer such Where energy requirements are intermittent but response availability without causing idle losses of an internal combustion engine.

When a hybrid electric vehicle. equipped for electric power take-off enters the operating condition for electric power take-off, the electric motor and generator are generally not supplied with energy until an active input signal or power requirement signal is provided. Usually, the power requirement signal is the result of operator input data being received via a body-mounted switch which is included in a data link module. One such module could be the remote power module described in U.S. Patent 6,272,402 to Kelwaski, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The switch sends the power requirement signal via a data bus such as a Controller Area Network (CAN) system which is now widely used to integrate vehicle control functions.

Only one of the possible A power requirement signal for operation of the drive motor are input signals which could be present and which are received by another CAN system. Due to the type, number and complexity of the drive motor control unit connected to the vehicle of the possible inputs that can be provided from a data link module added by a truck equipment manufacturer (TLU), as well as from other sources, problems can arise with adequate operation of the electric motor and generator, especially during the initial phases.even the introduction of the product, or during field maintenance, especially if the vehicle has been modified by the operator or has been damaged. As a consequence, the drive motor may not work as expected. When introducing a product, a TLU may end up in a situation where the data link module cannot provide electric motor-correct power requirement requests for and generator operation for electric power take-off operation in collaboration due to programming problems, other vehicle programming or other architectural problems.

An electric hybrid drive system can alone provide energy to the vehicle's power take-off when the power take-off drives a power take-off accessory adapted to be used only by a stationary vehicle, such as a lifting accessory or an excavating accessory. In some situations, the electric hybrid drive system may not provide sufficient nox energy for the PTO, and thus the axle next to the PTO is supplied with other energy by the internal combustion engine. In situations where the batteries of the electric hybrid drive may need to be charged. energy In both of these situations, if the PTO shaft has the PTO shaft stopped so that the internal combustion engine can be started to charge or to charge Therefore, there is one from the electric hybrid drive system, must supply energy to the PTO shaft, the batteries of the electric hybrid drive system. need for a system and method capable of shutting down a power take-off operated by an electric hybrid drive system, so as to provide charge that an internal combustion engine can be started for the power take-off of the electric hybrid drive system batteries. with energy, or for OVERVIEW

A schematic high level diagram of an operating system 21 illustrated with reference to Fig. 2 represents a system that can be used with operating the vehicle 1. An electrical system control unit 24, a type of is linked via a public data link 18 (here CAN bus follows SAE J1939 standard) to a variety of local control units body computer, illustrated as one which in turn implements direct operation of most of the vehicle 1 functions. The electrical system control unit 24 can also be directly connected to selected inputs and other buses. Direct "chassis input" outputs and includes ignition switch input data, brake pedal position input data, hood position input data and parking brake position sensor, which are connected to supply signals to the electrical system control unit 24.

There may be other input to the electrical system controller 24.

Signals for the operation of the PTO operation from within a cab are implemented in a cab-mounted switch package 56. That switch package 56 is connected to the electrical system controller 24 'data link 64 SAE J1708 standard. The data link 64 is a low can connection by means of one or more cab mounted via a non-public following data rate, usually of the order of 9.7 kbaud. Five controllers in addition to the electrical system controller 24 are illustrated connected to the public data link 18. These controllers are the engine controller 46, the transmission controller 42, an instrument cluster controller 58, a hybrid controller 48 and an ABS controller 50. There may be other controllers on each specific vehicle. Data link 18 is the bus for a public Controller Area Network system1 (CAN system) that complies with the SAE J1939 standard and with current practice _l5_ supports data transmission up to 250 kbaud. It is understood that other control units may be installed on the vehicle 1 in communicative connection with the data link 18. The ABS control unit 50, which is conventional, controls the application of the brakes 52 and receives wheel speed sensor signals from the sensors 54. Via the wheel speed the data link 18 is reported and monitored by the transmission control unit. 42.

Parallel type which utilizes a drive system 20 wherein the Vehicle 1 is illustrated as an electric hybrid vehicle by the output of either an internal combustion engine 28, an electric motor and generator 32, or both parts, can be connected to the drive wheels 26. diesel engine. Like other full-hybrid systems, the combustion engine 28 may be designed to capture the vehicle's inertia during braking or deceleration. The electric motor and generator 32 run a generator from the wheels, and the generated electricity is stored in batteries during braking or deceleration. Later, the stored electrical energy can be used to drive the electric motor and generator 32 instead of or in addition to the internal combustion engine 28 to extend the range of the vehicle's conventional fuel supply. The drive system 20 is a specific variant of hybrid design which supports power take-off either from the internal combustion engine T128 or from the electric motor.and the generator 32. When the internal combustion engine 28 is used for power take-off it can be run at an efficient output level and used to support power take-off operation and drive the electric motor and generator 32 in its generator position to charge the propulsion batteries 34. Typically, a power take-off application consumes less energy than the output of an efficient internal combustion engine 28. thermal throttle setting for a

Up the kinetic energy of the vehicle during deceleration by using the electric motor and generator 32 to catch the used drive wheels 26 to drive the electric motor and the generator 16. 32. In such cases, the automatic clutch 30 disconnects the motor 28 from the electric motor and the generator 32. The motor 28 can both electricity and use the power take-off system 22, to be used for power supply for generating propulsion wheels 26, or to provide propulsion power and run a generator to generate electricity. If the power take-off system 22 is a skylift unit 2, it is unlikely that it would be used with the vehicle in motion, and the description here actually presupposes that the vehicle is to be stopped for electric power take-off, but there may be other power take-off applications where this does not occur.

Kinetic energy in response to the electric motor and the generator The drive system 20 provides for the capture of 32 is driven backwards by the motive force of the vehicle. The transitions between positive and negative contributions from the drive motor are detected and handled by a hybrid control unit 48. The electric motor and generator 32 generate during braking electricity which is fed to the propulsion batteries 34 via an inverter 36. checks the data link traffic of the ABS control unit 50 to determine if kinetically .

The hybrid controller 48 regeneratively increase or improve deceleration regenerative deceleration The transmission controller 42 detects related data traffic on the data link, 18 and converts this data into control signals to be fed to the hybrid controller 48 via the data link 68. The electric motor and generates below to the hybrid inverter 36. which is fed the propulsion batteries 34 via from the hybrid inverter to maintain the charge of a conventional 12 volt DC chassis battery 60 via a voltage lowering DC converter 62.

The system for storing electrical energy on the vehicle 1. In the Propulsion Batteries, only vehicles used at the time of writing this may be a plurality of 12-volt applications in general use, and the vehicle 1, the patent application may still be equipped with a parallel 12-volt system to support the vehicle. To simplify the illustrations, it is not shown that including such a parallel system would allow the use of this. possible parallel systems. easily accessible and inexpensive components designed for use in motor vehicles, such as light bulbs for lighting.

However, the use of 12-volt components can present disadvantages in terms of vehicle weight and involve additional complexity.

The electric motor and generator 32 can be used to propel the vehicle 1 by utilizing energy from the battery 34 via the inverter 36, which provides three-phase current at 350 volts rms. The battery 34 is sometimes referred to as distinguishing power from various vehicle systems from a secondary 12-volt lead-acid battery 60 used to power propulsion batteries. However, hybrid propulsion than heavy commercial vehicles tends to take less advantage of Thus, electrical energy also to drive the electric power take-off system far cars. is used stored 22. In addition, the electric motor and generator 32 are used to start the engine 28 when the ignition is in the start position. In some circumstances, the motor 28 is used to drive the electric motor and the generator 321 down the transmission 38j in the idle position to generate electricity to charge the battery 34 and / or connected to the power take-off system 22 to generate electricity to charge the battery 34 and drive the power take-off system 22.

This could be in response to heavy use which slows down the battery 34 Typically, the engine 28 has a much larger output that would be extremely inefficient to use to directly drive entire parasite losses in the engine or idle losses which would the PTO system 22 charge. capacity than that used to operate the PTO system 22. Consequently, it may be the PTO system 22 due to occur if the operation were intermittent. Greater efficiency is obtained if the motor 22 is run close to its nominal output power to charge the battery 34 and provide power for the power take-off, and the motor is then switched off and the battery 34 is used to provide electricity for and to drive the electric motor generator 32 power take-off system 22.

Which could be used only sporadically by a A skylift unit 2 is an example of a system worker to first raise and later move its basket 5.

Handling of the skylift unit 2 by means of the drive motor 32 means that idling of the motor 28 is avoided. The motor 28 is periodically run at an effective speed to charge the battery if the battery 34 is in a state of relative discharge.

The charge status of the battery 34 is determined by the hybrid controller 48, which sends this information to the transmission controller 42 via the data link 68.

The transmission control unit 42 may in turn request that the electrical system control unit 24 engage the motor 28 through a message to the electrical system control unit 24, which in turn sends motor operation requests (i.e. signals to the Motor 28 availability for engine start and stop) the electronic (ECM) 46 due to certain programmed (or hard-coded) readings, the control module such as the position of the hood.

In series with an automatic clutch 30 which enables the drive system 20 comprises a motor 28 connected disconnection of the motor 28 from the rest of the drive system when the motor is not used for propulsion or charging of the battery 34. The automatic clutch 30 is directly connected to the electric motor and generator.32 which in turn is connected to a transmission 38. The transmission 38 is in turn used to supply energy from the electric motor and generator 32 to either the PTO system 22 or the drive wheels 26.

The transmission 38 is bidirectional and can be used to transfer energy from the drive wheels 26 back to the electric motor and generator 32. The electric motor and generator 32 can be used _ 19 _ to supply the transmission 38 with propulsion energy (either on its own or in conjunction with the motor 28).

When used as a generator, the electric motor and the generator supply electricity to the inverter 36 which provides direct current for charging the battery 34.

An operating system 21 implements interaction between the operating components of the functions just described. The electrical system controller 24 receives input data regarding throttle position, brake pedal position, ignition condition and sends these to the transmission controller 42 which in turn sends the signals to the hybrid controller 48.

The hybrid controller 48 determines, based on available battery charge status, whether the internal combustion engine 28 is powered.

The hybrid controller.48Down or the drive motor 32 meets the requirements for appropriate signals for supply to the data link 18 to instruct the ECM 46 to start and shut down the motor 28, and if it is to be started, at which output the motor is to be run. The transmission control unit 42 controls the engagement of the automatic clutch 30. The transmission control unit 42 further regulates the state of the transmission 38 in response to the push button control unit 72 for transmission, and determines what gear the transmission is in or whether the transmission is to deliver driving torque to the drive wheels 26 or to a hydraulic pump. simple pressurized power take-off system 22 the power take-off system 22 for the transmission 38 operates scm1 hydraulic pump), hydraulic fluid in which case or if Only for illustration purposes a vehicle can be delivered equipped with the transmission should be in neutral. more than one PTO system and a secondary pneumatic system using a multi-solenoid valve assembly 85 and pneumatic PTO 87 is shown directly operated by the electrical system controller 24.

The operation of the PTO 22 is implemented _20_ several RPM). power modules are data-linked expansion modules for input and output data, which is programmed to use them. If RPMs conventionally via one or more remote power modules (Remote Power Modules, specially designed for the electrical system controller 24, 40 function as power take-off controllers, they may be configured to provide output 70 via fixed wiring and input via fixed wiring which are used by to Motion Requests from the power take-off unit 22 and and from the load / skylift unit 2. the skylift unit 2 and position reports are fed to the non-public data link 74 for transmission to the electrical system controller 24, which converts them to specific requests to the other controllers, for example a power take-off request.

The electrical system controller 24 is also programmed to describe in more detail RPM units 40 in the Remote Valve Conditions via the PTO unit 22. In U.S. Patent No. 6,272,402, which is to control power modules assigned to the assignee of the present patent application and which unit is incorporated herein by reference. . At the time patent 6,272,402 was written, what are now referred to as "Remote Interface Modules" were called "Remote Interface Modules". The TLUs that provide the PTO access could order or equip a vehicle with RPM units 40 to support the PTO and provide a switch package 57 for connection to the RPM unit 40. In informal bodybuilders SOIII contexts, TLUs are known as and RPM unit 40 that is supplied with demand from a vehicle accessory set up is called a "body" ("body power requirement signal"). signals of body builders power signals ”

Affected by damage to the vehicle or architectural conflicts The body power requirement signals can be distorted as well as via the vehicle's CAN system. Consequently, an alternative _2l_ mechanism1 is included for generating power requirement signals for the power take-off from the vehicle's conventional control network.

One way of enabling the operator to initiate such a power requirement signal without the use of the RPM 40 is to use the vehicle's conventional control controls including the Power Requirements Control Controls which are called PTO drives which derive from giving rise to "chassis signals". for such alternative mechanisms are called "chassis power requirement signals". An example of this could be that the headlights flash twice when the parking brake is applied, or any other control control use that is easy to remember but does not include the control control option seems idiosyncratic for the PTO, as long as for the specially designed RPM 40.

Both the electrical system control unit 24 function as portals and / or the transmission control unit and conversion units between the various data links. The non-public data links 68 and 74 operate at significantly higher baud rates than the public data link 18, and consequently include buffering for a message sent from one link to another. In addition, a message may be reformatted, or a message on one link may be changed to another type of message on the other link; for example, a motion request via the data link 74 can be converted to a request for transmission connection to the transmission control unit 42. The data links 18, 68 and 74 are from the electrical system control unit 24 all CAN systems and comply with the protocol SAE Jl939.

Jl708.

Data link 64 complies with the SAE protocol

With a state machine 300 representative of Fig. 3 to illustrate a reference, a possible operating structure is used. Entry into the state machine 300 takes place via either of two states 300, 302 where the electric power take-off is activated, depending on whether the motor 28 is running for _22_ In the state where the electric power take-off is activated, they have the conditions to charge the propulsion batteries 34 or not. which initiates electric power take-off operation is fulfilled, but the actual power take-off accessory receives no energy. Depending on the charge status of the propulsion batteries 34, tower 28 may be running (state 302) or not running (state 304). automatic clutch 30 engaged (+).

In each state where the engine 28 is running, the charge status that initiates battery charging is less than the charge status at which the charge ceases to prevent the engine 28 from being started and shut down frequently. The states (302, 304) then involve the transmission 38 being disengaged. In the state 302 where the batteries 34 are charged, the electric motor and the generator 32 are in their In the state 304 where as charged, the electric power outlet is activated generator position. Considering the batteries 34, the state of the electric motor and generator 32 need not be defined and may remain in their previous state.

Four power take-off operating modes, 306, 308, 310 and 312 are defined. These conditions occur in response to either a body power requirement or a chassis power requirement. Within the power take-off, the charging of the vehicle battery continues to work. State 306 includes that the motor 28 is running, the automatic clutch 30 is engaged, the electric motor and the generator 32 are in their generator position and the transmission has a gear engaged for power take-off. In the state 308, the motor 28 is switched off, the automatic clutch 30 is in the engine position and running and the transmission 38 has a gear engaged for PTO. Conditions 306 and 308, such as a class, are provided after loss of body power requirement signal (which can be disconnected, the drive motor in place as a result of cancellation of PTO activation), or after or upon occurrence of a chassis power requirement signal. Changes in conditions resulting from the charge status of the battery may force changes within the class between states 306 and 308.

The power take-off operating states 310 and 312 are identical to the states 306 and 308, respectively, the body power requirement signal does not result in exit from one of the states 310, 312. results in except loss of Only loss of exit from the power take-off states 310 or 312, considered the class (that is, the chassis power requirement signal between 310 and 312) may be due to the charge status of the battery. After loss of a chassis power requirement signal, the exit path from states 310, 312 depends on whether there is a body power requirement signal. If so, the operating state moves from states 310 or 312 to states 306 and 308, respectively. If not, to state 302 or 304. lost due to exit from conditions where If the body power requirement signal was removed, state 302 or 304 exits. along the road "OFF". especially from a state where the motor 28 is off to a state running, an intermediate state is included where the automatic clutch. 30 is For transitions inonl class, where the motor 28 is can be engaged to let the drive motor pull around the motor.

The vehicle in the various states of the state machine as Figs. 4A-D graphically illustrates what is being implemented on by appropriate 4A1 corresponds to state 304, one of the states where the electric power take-off is activated. Fig. 4B corresponds to state 302, the second state of the power take-off is states 308, states 306 and 310. 28 off (state (state 102)), state may be undefined, but summer motor mode programming of the power system controller 24 is shown.

Fig. 4D 4A is the internal combustion engine and while corresponding to the automatic clutch is disengaged (104). With the electric motor and generator 32 in motor mode, a state 108 is displayed. The transmission is shown with a gear engaged (106), but this 4B takes place battery charging 128 as a battery in ready for discharge. is optional. In Fig. 24, the result of the internal combustion engine being 120 on, the automatic clutch engaged 122 with engine torque supplied via the automatic clutch to the electric motor and the generator 32 operating in its generator position 124. The transmission has no gear engaged 126.

Fig. 4C 300 states 308 and 312 with the motor 28 turned off 100 and the automatic clutch 30 disengaged 102. The battery 34 discharged corresponds to the state machine 108 for operating the drive motor in its operating state 104 for supplying torque to the transmission 38 having a gear 126 to power. 4D 300 states 306 and 310. The internal combustion engine 28 is running 120 so that the 122 automatic connection for driving the electric motor and the generator 32 supplied feed driving torque corresponds to that of the state machine for supplying energy via one engaged in its generator position to supply electrical energy to a battery during charging (128) and to deliver torque via the transmission to the PTO application.

Secondary mechanism for operating the electric hybrid motor and The system described here provides a generator by using various chassis data from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), thereby bypassing the TLUs' input (requirements) signal transmitting units (e.g. RPM 40). Initiating this mode of operation can be made as simple as desired using a single cab-mounted switch, which may be located in the switch package 56 or may be made more complicated and less obvious using a "code". With the vehicle in would, for example, follow. of 'operating input sonx an electric power take-off position the service brake can be depressed and held down, and the headlights flash on and off twice. When the service brake is released, subsequent activations of the main beams could generate a signal to change the operation of the drive motor. In all cases, the TLU input states are ignored or bypassed when the drive motor is operated by "chassis-initiated" input data.

Referring to Figs. 8A-D, an electric hybrid drive system having a power take-off hydraulic system 800 is shown. The electric hybrid drive system having a power take-off hydraulic system 800 includes an internal combustion engine 802, an electric motor and generator 803, a power take-off 804 and a first hydraulic pump 806 and a second hydraulic pump 808. The PTO 804 is adapted to receive energy from either the internal combustion engine 802 or the electric motor and generator 803. The PTO 804 drives the first hydraulic pump 804 and the second hydraulic pump 808. shown in the first

Like 8A-D, the hydraulic pump 806 is a fixed displacement hydraulic pump, Fig. As an eccentric pump, while the other hydraulic pump 808 is a variable displacement hydraulic pump, such as a piston pump.

The second hydraulic pump 808 has an actuating motor 810 and / or an actuating solenoid 812 for actuating 808 variable The actuating motor 810 may be an adjustment of the displacement setting of the second hydraulic pump. electric motor, a stepper motor with electromagnet or the like. 812 solenoid unit or similar.

The control solenoid can be an electromagnetic

Driving the power take-off 804 to power the internal combustion engine 802 could be used for the first hydraulic pump 806, while the electric motor T1 and the hydraulic pump 808. The use of the first hydraulic pump is usually used to power the second 806 or the second hydraulic pump. 808 often depends on 805. A hydraulic load uses the first hydraulic pump load level on a hydraulic system large _28_ 806, hydraulic load uses the second hydraulic pump 808, driven by the internal combustion engine 802, while a small driven by the electric motor and generator 803.

Torque to the hydraulic pumps 806, 808 at the speed of the internal combustion engine is adapted to supply about 700 rpnl to about 2,000 rpnn However, the electric motor and generator 803 provide a high torque level at lower and the generator 803 is used to drive the second hydraulic pump 804 , the displacement of the second hydraulic pump is adjusted to a larger displacement if the hydraulic load on the hydraulic system 805 requires the electric motor and generator 803 to operate at speeds above 1,500 rpm. The control motor 810 and / or the control solenoid 812 increase the displacement of the second pump 808 so that the electric motor and the generator 803 can provide sufficient hydraulic fluid flow while operating at speeds lower than 1,500 rpm. pressure for hydraulic system 805,

On similar hydraulic system 805 decreases, the second hydraulic pump mode, if. the load inside the 808 displacement is adjusted to a smaller displacement, and the electric motor1oc oc1 the generator.803 can be slowed down to speeds below 1,500 rpm.

Displacement When the Load of the Hydraulic System 805 Changes In addition to adjusting the second hydraulic pump 808 to a load that requires the electric motor and generator to operate at speeds above 1,500 rpm, the second hydraulic pump 808 could also be adjusted by the engine motor 810 and / or the control solenoid 812 to a displacement that enables the electric motor and generator to work at a higher level of efficiency. For example, if the electric motor and generator produce torque efficiently at a speed of 1,300 rpm, the displacement of the second hydraulic pump 808 can be adjusted so that the load of the hydraulic system 805 is met by the second hydraulic pump 808, while the electric motor and generator operate at 1,300 rpm.

The hydraulic system 805 depicted in Figs. 8A-D includes the container 814 used in the hydraulic system further comprising one 805.

The container is in fluid communication with the hydraulic system 816, 817 hydraulic valves 818, and provides necessary fluid hydraulic fluid such as hydraulic motors, hydraulic cylinders and to drive the hydraulic motors 816, hydraulic cylinders 817 and hydraulic valves 818.

The electric motor and generator 803 are connected to a battery 820 and an electric control unit 822. The battery 820 stores electrical energy to be used by the electric motor and the generator 803. The electric control unit 822 regulates the electrical energy between the battery 820 and the electric motor and the generator 803.

Referring to Fig. 9, a specific actuator and network architecture 900 is shown, whereupon the electric hybrid drive system with a state of the power take-off hydraulic system 1800 can be implemented. A first remote control 902 and / or a second remote control 904 is included on the TLU components to enable a user to operate the output of the electric motor and generator 803 or 802. the remote control 904 is a hand-operated fine-tuning control.

Electrically connected to the motor control module, As shown in Fig. 9, the first remote control or electronic control module, (Electronic Control Module, ECM) is 906. The second remote control 904 may be electrically connected to the ECM 906 via a remotely connected speed control module ( Remote Engine Speed Control Module, RESCM) 908 or a power module 910.

The RESCM unit 908 and the remote power module 910 remotely connected _30_ are electronically connected to a power system controller 912 via a cable 914 which complies with the J1939 standard.

The electrical system controller 912 monitors the internal combustion engine 802 803, 805 requirements and inputs from the first transmission control module and the electric motor and generator as well as the hydraulic system remote control 904 and / or the second remote control 906, and generates control signals adapted to operate the internal combustion engine 802 and the electric motor 802.

The requirements of the hydraulic system 805 are greatly affected by input data from the first remote control 904 and / or the second remote control 906.

The electrical system controller 912 generates speed commands for the internal combustion engine 802 and / or the electric motor and the generator 803 so that the first hydraulic pump 804 and / or the hydraulic system second 805 electrical system controller 912 generates an increasing signal or the hydraulic pump 806 meets requirements. For example, the speed of the electric motor and generator 803 may decrease to provide sufficient hydraulic fluid flow from the second hydraulic pump 806. Similarly, the electrical system controller 912 may generate a signal that increases or decreases the speed of the internal combustion engine 802 to provide sufficient hydraulic fluid flow from the first hydraulic pump 804.

Output signal sent to the second hydraulic pump 806 if the Electrical System Control Unit 912 further generates a displacement of the second hydraulic pump 806 is to be modified. If a hydraulic load exceeds a predetermined threshold, displacement of the second hydraulic pump 806 If, for example, the electric motor and generator 803 are used to supply energy to the second hydraulic pump, and the electric motor and generator 803 2,000 rpm, output speed 812 or the control motor 812 to increase it generates the electrical system controller which causes the displacement of the second hydraulic pump 806, so that the output of the second hydraulic pump 806 is increased, and the speed of the electric motor and generator 803 is maintained within a correct operating range.

In addition, both the first hydraulic pump 804 and the second hydraulic pump 806 could be used simultaneously.

In such a configuration, the electrical system controller 912 generates a control solenoid 812 for the control motor 810 to displace the hydraulic pump 806. output signal or for varying others In such a configuration, a smaller first hydraulic pump 804 may be used, since the second hydraulic pump 806 provides additional pumping capacity to meet the requirements of the hydraulic system 805.

The hydraulic system 805 of the present embodiment can be used to power variable speed applications, such as crane trucks, boom trucks, shredders and other variable speed devices.

In addition, the use of a second variable displacement hydraulic pump 806 improves the energy efficiency of the electric hybrid drive system with a power take-off driven hydraulic system 800, since the motor 802 and / or the electric motor and the generator 803 can operate, with more efficient settings. Therefore, the fuel consumption or the electrical energy required decreases.

Thus, the RPM 1018 may generate the output signal 1022 sent to the accumulator solenoid 101 to position the accumulator isolation valve 1008. The input signals 1020 from the vehicle hydraulic system 1013 could be used to generate the output signal 1022 to operate an initial opening of the accumulator isolation valve 1008. 1014 could be utilized. to generate the output signal 1022 for the Input signals from the vehicle hydraulic component sensor to operate the closing of the accumulator isolation valve 1008 when there is no hydraulic load in the 1013. vehicle hydraulic system

The speed of the internal combustion engine 1002, or even the electrical system control unit 1016 can also be used to shut down the engine 1002 when there is no hydraulic load in the hydraulic system 1013 of the vehicle, by communicating with the ECM unit 1024. Similarly, the electrical system control unit 1016 can be used. to increase the speed of the internal combustion engine 1002 via the ECM 1024 if 1013, the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic accumulator 1006 does not meet the load in the vehicle's hydraulic system and the hydraulic pump 1004 is required to increase the pressure in the hydraulic accumulator 1006.

1106 eccentric pump, As shown in Fig. 11, the first hydraulic pump is a fixed displacement hydraulic pump, such as one while the second hydraulic pump 1108 is a variable displacement hydraulic pump, such as a piston pump.

The internal combustion engine 1102 could generally be used that the power take-off 1104 of the hydraulic pump 1106, 1103 could be used to power the power take-off 1104 to power to power the first while the electric motor and generator could usually drive the second hydraulic pump 1108. Use of the first hydraulic pump 110 or the second hydraulic pump 1108 often depends on the load level of a hydraulic system 1105. the hydraulic pump 1106, A large hydraulic load uses the first driven by the internal combustion engine 1102, while a small hydraulic load uses the second hydraulic pump 1108, driven by the electric motor.and the generator 1103.

Fig. 11 also shows an actuator 1120 for the actuator with power take-off drive 1120 has a first power take-off request switch 1122. The first take-off request switch 1122 is arranged: a cab of a vehicle having the electric hybrid drive system with the 1100. 1122 transmission gearbox switch-mounted bracket type. The first PTO request switch 1122 requires an operator to be in the vehicle cab to activate the PTO 1104. A PTO request switch 1124 is communicatively connected to an RPM unit 1126. secondly arranged in the RPM unit1 of the RPM. tillemielsystem control unit 1128 cable 1130 J1939 standard.

The electrical control unit 1128 is electrically connected to an ECM 1132 J1939 cable 1134. A transmission control module 1136 and a hybrid control module 1138 are also connected to the cable 1134 and are therefore via one also via electrically connected to the ECM unit 1132 and the electrical control unit 1128. The other PTO request switch 1124 is mounted on TLU-produced equipment. An example of an application where the second PTO request switch 1124 could be used is in flight refueling, where PTO controls are often connected with fixed wiring to TLU refueling equipment mounted on a truck.

Examples of applications where the third power take-off switch 1140 could be used are construction equipment, other construction or rescue equipment. where safety requires an operator to be at a distance from a vehicle.

Thus, a variety of ways to activate and deactivate the power take-off 1104 with the actuator offers at least one of 1122, 1124, 1140.

The actuator could be programmed so that only some of the PTO request switches 1122, 1124, 1140 using the PTO request switches could operate the PTO 1104. For example, in some embodiments, only the cab-mounted PTO request switch 1122 could be active to operate multiple PTO 110s. so both the first PTO request switch 1122 and the third PTO request switch 1140 would be active to operate the PTO 1104.

In addition, the actuator 1120 could be reprogrammed so that various PTO request switches 1122, 1124, 1140 could be allowed to operate the PTO 1104. For example, the actuator 1120 could be programmed so that only the first PTO request switch 1122 is active, only the second PTO request switch 1140 is the active PTO switch 1124. is active, while the other PTO request switches are inactive.

Alternatively, the actuator 1120 may be programmed so that the first PTO request switch 1122 is a primary actuator control for the PTO 1104, while at least one of the second and third PTO request switches 1124, 1140 acts as a secondary actuator control for the PTO 1104. Similarly, the actuator 1120 may be programmed to at least one of the second and third PTO request switches 1124, 1140 acts as a primary actuation control for the PTO 1104, while the first PTO request switch acts as a secondary activation control for the PTO 1104. According to a further embodiment, the actuator 1120 may and one of the PTO 11 switches 11, may be the primary actuator control for the PTO 1104, is programmed as such while the other of the PTO request switches 1122, 1124, and 1140 act as secondary actuation controls for the PTO 1104.

Thus, the power take-off 1104 of the electric hybrid drive system with a power take-off hydraulic system 1100 can be engaged, disconnected or reconnected from more than one location. Such operation is useful when an operator may need to move around a vehicle to an accessory.

For example, an operator could engage the PTO to operate the PTO drive 1104 with one of the second or third PTO request switches 1122, 1140 and then deactivate the PTO 1104 with the first PTO request switch 1122. Since the actuator 1120 can be reconfigured, the PTO 24 which are active are reprogrammed based on the current use of the vehicle.

By integrating the ECM 1132, the transmission control module 1136, the hybrid control module 1138 and the electrical system controller 1128, the operation of the electric hybrid drive system with a PTO driven hydraulic system 11100 connects the operation of the motor 1102, the electric motor and the generator 1103, and the TLU equipment 11. Cause the operation of the power take-off 1104 to cause the motor 1102, the electric motor and the generator 1103 to operate so that the energy source of the power take-off 1104 is selected based on the load on the system from the hydraulic pumps 1106, 1108. _39_
