TH31739B - Straddle hybrid vehicles - Google Patents

Abstract

The DC60 is designed to provide a hybrid straddle vehicle capable of efficiently transmitting the power output from the rotary electric motor to the driven tires when the rotary electric motor is operating, and can adjust the load on the rotary electric motor to generate power for the engine when the engine is running. This hybrid straddle vehicle is equipped with a 12-motor and a 16-motor rotary electric motor, with a 14-motor transmission mechanism to transmit the power output from the 12-motor to the driven tires. Where the drive mechanism 14 includes a clutch 26 for allowing or disengaging the drive transmission to the drive tires, and a mechanism is provided between clutch 26 and the drive tires for operation with the output shaft 40 of the rotary electrical unit 16, where the rotary electrical unit 16 has a rotor 44, a stator 42 positioned to face rotor 44, and an adjustment mechanism 50 for adjusting the operating range of the rotary electrical unit 16 [selected drawing] Figure 2, to provide a straddling hybrid vehicle that can efficiently transmit the drive of the rotary electrical unit to the drive tires when the rotary electrical unit is operating, and can adjust the load on the power generation from the rotary electrical unit to be fed to the engine when the engine is operating. A straddling hybrid vehicle equipped with engine 12 and rotary electrical unit 16, with drive mechanism 14 for transmitting the drive output from engine 12 to the drive tires. Where the drive mechanism 14 contains a clutch 26 for allowing or disengaging the transmission of power to the drive tires, and a mechanism provided between clutch 26 and the drive tires for operation with the output shaft 40 of the rotary electrical unit 16, where the rotary electrical unit 16 contains a rotor 44, a stator 42 positioned to face rotor 44, and an adjustment mechanism 50 for adjusting the operating range of the rotary electrical unit 15 [Selected drawing] Figure 2.

Claims (7)

1. A hybrid straddling vehicle equipped with an engine and rotary electrical components, comprising the following elements: a drive mechanism for transmitting propulsion from the engine to the driven wheels, with a clutch for allowing or disengaging power transmission to the driven wheels; and an intermediate mechanism between the clutch and the driven wheels for operation with the output shaft of the rotary electrical components. A unique feature is the adjustment mechanism for modifying the operating range of the rotary electrical components. The stator consists of a first stator facing the rotor and a second stator facing the opposite side of any other face facing the rotor. The first stator has multiple teeth on its outer side surfaces surrounding a set of windings. The second stator has multiple teeth on its face facing the first stator, and the adjustment mechanism adjusts the angle of rotation of the second stator around the output shaft relative to the first stator. 2. The straddling hybrid vehicle under claim 1 is characterized by the rotational electrical device being positioned such that its output shaft is parallel to the drive shaft of the driven wheels. 3. The straddling hybrid vehicle under claim 1 is characterized by the rotational electrical device being positioned such that the axis of the rotational electrical device's output shaft is aligned with the axis of the drive shaft and the driven wheels. 4. A hybrid straddling vehicle as described in any of the claims 1 or 2 shall have the following characteristic: an intermediate mechanism arranged between the clutch and the drive wheel shall consist of a gear mechanism for the drive components to work in conjunction with the shaft for the power output of the rotating electrical equipment. 5. The straddling hybrid vehicle under claim 4 is characterized by a gear system mounted on the drive shaft, and the propulsion mechanism includes an intermediate shaft for transmitting engine power, and this intermediate shaft connects to the drive shaft via gears, where its position is determined by the distance between the axis of the intermediate shaft and the drive shaft being shorter than the radius of the driven wheel. 6. The straddling hybrid vehicle under claim 5 is characterized by the mid-axle being positioned closer to the engine crankshaft than to the drive shaft. 7. The straddling hybrid vehicle under claim 4 or 5 is characterized by the intermediate axle being spaced away from the engine crankshaft, and the drivetrain mechanism having a deceleration mechanism with a pipe extending longitudinally along the vehicle to transmit the drivetrain from the crankshaft to the intermediate axle, and the engine drivetrain from the crankshaft to the intermediate axle, and the rotating electrical device being mounted on the outside, lateral side of the vehicle, in conjunction with the deceleration mechanism.
