Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of utilizing the kinetic energy of a vehicle in conjunction with braking the vehicle.
- the work carried out by various different types of vehicle is power requiring.
- Examples of such vehicles are garbage collection trucks fitted with garbage compactors, cement mixing trucks, fork-lift trucks and refrigeration trucks.
- the engine power of such vehicles must be adapted to suit the purpose of the vehicle concerned.
- One example in this regard is a garbage collection truck, which can make as many as 600 starts and stops in a days work.
- the compactor is normally activated at the same time as the vehicle engine is started-up, therewith reducing the available vehicle start-up power while reaching high fuel consumption and high exhaust emission values at the same time.
- the kinetic energy of the vehicle is utilized during the initial part of a vehicle braking sequence in the performance of work that is specific to the vehicle concerned, for instance to activate the compactor of a garbage collection truck in conjunction with braking the vehicle and therewith compact, or compress, the garbage contained in the vehicle.
- the method can be readily carried out and does not require the use of expensive and complicated devices for storing the energy that is later to be used.
- an on/off switch 1 which functions to energize and de-energize a magnetic valve 2 that controls activation of a disk power take-out 3 in the form of a multiple-disk clutch.
- the clutch 3 has an input shaft 7 which is connected to a vehicle-mounted power take-out, and an output shaft which is connected to a power unit, eg in the form of an hydraulic pump 4, and is activated by hydraulic pressure from the gear box, or by compressed air.
- the input shaft 7 connected to the disk power take-out may be in constant gear engagement with the vehicle drive shaft for instance.
- the kinetic energy of the vehicle may also be taken out from the output shaft of the gear box or from its input shaft (manual gear box).
- kinetic energy may be taken out at the turbine shaft of the gear box or from the torque conversion pump.
- the power take-out means may also be placed between engine and gear box, or the engine crank shaft may drive the disk power take-out through the medium of gear means.
- the braking power is regulated by adjusting the pressure in the hydraulic system 8 to the desired level through the medium of control means 6 and pressure reduction valves, in the illustrated case three such valves, which have mutually different reduction pressures.
- the three pressure reducing valves which have mutually different reduction pressures, are connected in series.
- a single pressure reducing valve that has different reduction pressures may be used or the number of valves used may differ from the number shown.
- the device or arrangement is activated, ie the disk power take-out is activated, with the aid of a magnetic valve or solenoid valve.
- the pressure reducing valve in the hydraulic system may be controlled in response to pressure on the brake-pedal - the control means 6 - or by the brake pressure in the hydraulic brake system, so that increas ⁇ ing pedal pressure will successively increase the pressure in the hydraulic system, which in turn successively increases the braking effect.
- the invention is thus suited for vehicles that stop and start repeatedly, wherein the invention can be applied to town or city run concrete mixing vehicles for rotation of the mixer in the initial braking stage.
- the invention can be applied in fork lift trucks to raise or lower the forks, or tines, in response to initial pressure on the brake.
- the invention can also be applied in refrigeration transport trucks, such as to operate the compressor when the truck is braked or slowed down in same other way or is held at a constant speed, for instance when driving downhill.
- the invention affords significant advantages when applied to vehicles of the aforesaid kind because engine power is not used to drive the additional equipment, which in many cases enables engines of lower power capacities to be used and thereby also use less fuel than would otherwise be the case and reduce exhaust emissions. Wear on the brakes will also be less than would otherwise be the case and cooling requirements in respect of hydromechanical brakes are also reduced.
- the braking power can be controlled when the device or arrangement is in operation and is able to drive a power unit in the form of an hydraulic pump or a compressor for example in the case of a refrigeration transport truck.
