Definitions

  • the present teachings generally include a supercharger assembly that includes a supercharger, an electric motor-generator, and a planetary gearing arrangement.
  • a supercharger is sometimes used to increase the torque available from an engine. At low engine speeds, when higher torque is often requested by a vehicle operator by depressing the accelerator pedal, the supercharger provides additional air to the engine intake manifold, boosting air pressure and thereby allowing the engine to generate greater torque at lower engine speeds.
  • the present teachings generally include a method for selecting between modes of regeneration of an energy storage device of a vehicle includes: determining operating conditions of the vehicle; and when regeneration is appropriate based upon the operating conditions, regenerating the energy storage device, including selecting between a nonperformance-impacting regeneration mode and a performance-impacting regeneration mode.
  • a method for selecting between modes of regeneration of an energy storage device of a vehicle having a supercharger and an electric motor-generator includes: boosting an internal combustion engine of the vehicle using the supercharger; driving the vehicle using the electric motor-generator powered by the energy storage device; and selecting between regeneration operating modes to regenerate the energy storage device.
  • a method for regenerating an energy storage device of a vehicle using a supercharger includes: determining operating conditions of the vehicle; and when regeneration is appropriate based upon the operating conditions, regenerating the energy storage device using the supercharger.

  • FIG. 1 shows an engine assembly 10 that includes a supercharger assembly 11 with a supercharger 12 placed in series with a throttle valve, also referred to herein as a throttle 14 , positioned in a throttle body 16 of an engine 13 .
  • the throttle body 16 is in the air flow to the engine 13 upstream of a plenum 18 in an air intake manifold 20 .
  • the supercharger 12 is shown upstream of the throttle 14 in air flow to the engine 13 , the supercharger 12 could instead be downstream of the throttle 14 in air flow to the engine 13 .
  • the throttle 14 could feed into an inlet 84 of the supercharger 12 , and an outlet of the supercharger 12 could flow directly to the plenum 18 .
  • the supercharger 12 could also be used with an engine that does not have a throttle, such as a diesel engine.
  • the supercharger 12 can have a set of rotors 24 with a first rotor 26 that can mesh with a second rotor 28 (the second rotor 28 being visible in FIG. 3 ). Each of the rotors 26 , 28 has multiple lobes.
  • the supercharger 12 can boost the air pressure upstream of the plenum 18 , forcing more air into engine cylinders, and thus increasing engine power to power a drive axle 21 through a transmission 22 .
  • the supercharger 12 can be a fixed displacement supercharger, such as a Roots-type supercharger, that outputs a fixed volume of air per rotation. The increased air output then becomes pressurized when forced into the plenum 18 .
  • a Roots-type supercharger is a volumetric device, and therefore is not dependent on rotational speed in order to develop pressure. The volume of air delivered by the Roots-type supercharger per each rotation of the rotors 26 , 28 is constant (i.e., does not vary with speed).
  • a Roots-type supercharger can thus develop pressure at low engine and rotor speeds (where the supercharger is powered by the engine) because the Roots-type supercharger functions as a pump rather than as a compressor.
  • the supercharger 12 can be a compressor, such as a centrifugal-type supercharger that compresses the air as it passes through the supercharger 12 , but with the compression and thus the volume of air delivered to the throttle body 16 and air pressure in the plenum 18 being dependent on compressor speed.
  • the supercharger assembly 11 includes a planetary gearing arrangement 41 with a sun gear member 42 , a ring gear member 44 , and a carrier member 46 that rotatably supports a set of pinion gears 47 that can mesh with both the ring gear member 44 and the sun gear member 42 .
  • the sun gear member 42 is referred to as the third member
  • the ring gear member 44 is referred to as the first member
  • the carrier member 46 is referred to as the second member of the planetary gear set 41 .
  • the planetary gear set 41 is a simple planetary gear set. In other embodiments, a compound planetary gear set can be used.
  • the first rotor 26 rotates on a first shaft 30 and has multiple lobes that mesh via a set of intermeshing timing gears 34 , 36 with multiple lobes of the second rotor 28 .
  • the rotors 26 , 28 mesh in that their lobes interfit with one another when the rotors 26 , 28 are rotating. However, the lobes of the rotors 26 , 28 do not contact one another.
  • the second rotor 28 rotates on a second shaft 32 .
  • the second shaft 32 is driven by the first shaft 30 through the set of intermeshing timing gears 34 , 36 .
  • a first gear 34 is mounted on the first shaft 30 to rotate with the first rotor 26 .
  • a second gear 36 is mounted on the second shaft 32 to rotate with the second rotor 28 .
  • the first gear 34 meshes with the second gear 36 .
  • the engine 13 has a crankshaft 48 that can be operatively connected with the carrier member 46 through a belt drive 49 when an electromagnetic clutch 55 is engaged to connect a pulley 57 mounted on the crankshaft 48 for rotation with the crankshaft 48 .
  • the pulley 57 and crankshaft 48 are thereby drivingly connected through a belt 63 with a pulley 59 mounted to a pulley shaft 61 to rotate with the pulley shaft 61 .
  • the pulley shaft 61 is connected to rotate with the carrier member 46 at the same speed as the carrier member 46 .
  • the clutch 55 is a normally closed clutch, in a normally engaged state in which a clutch pack has a first set of plates 31 splined to the crankshaft 48 engaged with a second set of plates 33 splined to a clutch housing 35 that is rigidly connected for rotation with the pulley 57 .
  • a spring 37 biases an apply plate 38 toward the sets of plates 31 , 33 to maintain the clutch 55 in an engaged state.
  • a coil 39 is energized to create a magnetic force to move the plate 38 axially away from the clutch plates 31 , 33 , overcoming the biasing force of the spring 37 , and thereby disengaging the clutch 55 .
  • the coil 39 is selectively energized by a control system that includes a system controller 65 , such as an engine controller, operable to provide control signals to clutch 55 .
  • the controller 65 is also operatively connected to the motor controller 62 , and to an electromagnetic brake, a bypass valve 70 and the throttle 14 , as discussed herein. Any other type of clutch, including a normally open clutch, can be used in place of clutch 55 .

All or a portion of the torque generated by the pressure drop across the supercharger 12 can be converted to electric energy stored in the energy storage device 64 by controlling the motor-generator 50 to function as a generator.
  • the stored electric energy generated from the pressure drop-induced torque is referred to as being from “recaptured throttling losses.”
  • the throttling loss regeneration mode 310 can be maintained until the energy storage device 64 reaches a predetermined maximum state of charge. Then, the brake 68 can be applied, the bypass valve 70 opened to position 70 A, and the motor-generator 50 controlled to function as a motor to apply torque to the engine crankshaft 48 until the energy storage device 64 reaches a predetermined minimum state of charge. This cycling of charging and depleting the energy storage device 64 can continue throughout the cruising period.

  • the housing assembly 80 is configured so that the electric motor-generator 50 and the rotor housing portion 90 are on an opposite side of the gear cover portion 95 than the pulley 59 . Additionally, the air inlet passage 85 and inlet pipe 97 are adjacent to the electric motor-generator 50 and the air outlet passage 88 and outlet pipe 98 are on an opposite side of the rotor housing portion 90 than the electric motor-generator 50 .
  • the housing assembly 80 A is arranged in a like manner.
  • throttle body 16 and throttle 14 may be positioned upstream of the inlet pipe 97 in air flow to the engine 13 , in which case the supercharger 12 would pull air through the throttle 14 and would be operable to allow the same operating modes discussed herein.
