• the energizing means preferably comprise an energy storage system or a further motor and/or generator which is connected to one of the in/outputs or the drive line or one or more of the further wheels.
• the energy storage system may be for example a battery or a hydraulic accumulator or an ultacap.
• a further embodiment of the flywheel module according to the invention is characterised in that the speed transforming device further includes a further clutch which is positioned between the further motor and/or generator and the in/output connected thereto.
• the control unit preferably contains power electronics which allow for driving or braking one of the motors and/or generators with the other motor and/or generator.
• the drive source may then be formed by the further motor and/or generator.
• the control unit preferably controls the energizing means only for a brief period of time as a result of which the drive line and/or one or more of the further wheels is/are braked or driven only for a brief period of time, hi this way the flywheel module functions merely as an auxiliary drive for briefly additionally accelerating or decelerating the vehicle.
• the speed transforming device comprises a motor and/or generator as well as a bypass speed transforming device comprising three rotational members, a first rotational member of which being connected to the first in/output, a second rotational member of which being connected to the second in/output and the third rotational member of which being connected to the motor and/or generator.
• Energy can then be exchanged with the flywheel by suitably controlling the motor and/or generator where because of the delivery of a negative torque by the motor and/or generator to the bypass speed transforming device the flywheel accelerates and because of the delivery of a positive torque by the motor and/or generator to the bypass speed transforming device the flywheel decelerates.
• the gear ratio of the bypass speed transforming device (diameter of the ring gear divided by the diameter of the sun gear) is chosen such that the change of speed of the flywheel exceeds the change of speed of the motor and/or generator.
• the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) of the motor and/or generator is maintained at a minimal level.
• the motor and/or generator is operated in both positive and negative direction of rotation.
• the absolute RPM of the motor and/or generator can then be halved compared to a control/configuration in which the motor and/or generator is driven with only a positive or only a negative speed.
• the flywheel module is preferably coupled to the output of the transmission in a drive line.
• the output RPM of a transmission in a standard vehicle continues to be substantially constant in the first few seconds after a launch of the vehicle has been commenced by the driver.
• the input RPM of the transmission will rise rapidly during the first few seconds after a launch of the vehicle has been commenced by the driver.
• a substantially constant RPM of the output of the flywheel module a larger change in RPM of the flywheel can be achieved than with an increasing RPM of the output of the flywheel module.
• the flywheel module is preferably coupled to the input shaft of the transmission because the RPM of the input shaft varies less than that of the output shaft.
• Reducing the absolute speed at which the motor and/or generator is driven allows for delivering a large power with a small (electric, hydraulic, pneumatic) power to the drive line or withdraw it from the drive line.
• the flywheel then delivers or withdraws the largest power because it can rotate at a higher RPM than the motor and/or generator and can still continue to support the reaction torque.
• the costs, the volume and the weight of for example an electric motor and/or generator with attendant power electronics and battery system can be reduced considerably as a result.
• the speed transforming device further includes a mechanical brake which is coupled to the flywheel.
• This brake may also be a form- closed clutch that need not be capable of slipping.
• the vehicle can be driven in forward or reverse direction by means of the motor and/or generator. If the motor and/or generator is coupled to an energy storage system (battery, capacitor, pressure buffer) it is possible to regain also braking energy in this way.
• the flywheel module can then also perform the function of a hybrid drive.
• the main drive source (combustion engine or electromotor) is to be started after a few seconds.
• the combustion engine can also be started via the main clutch which is present in substantially all vehicle drives and is used in a conventional vehicle for launching the vehicle.
• the size of this main clutch can be reduced in combination with the flywheel module because it merely needs to accelerate the combustion engine, which has a much smaller inertia than the vehicle. In order not to be troubled too much by the starting of the combustion engine, it is to be preferred to put the transmission in a higher gear than the first gear when the clutch is being closed.
• the flywheel module is still driving the vehicle, after the start of the combustion engine this combustion engine can be further revved up by changing down the gear.
• the combustion engine can now accelerate the vehicle to maximum extent and the flywheel module is no longer needed for propulsing the vehicle.
• the flywheel can even be accelerated during the acceleration of the vehicle by having the motor and/or generator deliver a low negative torque. To this end the brake on the flywheel is first to be disengaged.
• a stepped transmission for example an automatic manual gearbox
• even the clutch interruption during the switching operation can be absorbed by the flywheel module.
• the motor and/or generator is to deliver a positive torque for this so that both the motor and/or generator and the flywheel take over the propulsing of the vehicle for a brief period of time.
• the combustion engine takes over the driving and the motor and/or generator can again slowly "charge" the flywheel.
• the combustion engine can be revved down to a fuel-optimal operation point by switching up the transmission. Even during this switching up the flywheel can be further accelerated by having the motor and/or generator deliver a negative torque. If the main clutch is to be opened for the benefit of the switching operation, the torque to the wheels can still be delivered by means of the flywheel module.
• the flywheel is maintained at a high RPM by operating the motor and/or generator at a low or even negative RPM. If this RPM is close to zero revolutions, even with an additional brake on the motor and/or generator the flywheel can be maintained at the right RPM.
• the flywheel module can assist the drive line by having the motor and/or generator deliver a positive torque.
• the flywheel then decelerates when this is effected and provides that additional torque is delivered to the wheels.
• the combustion engine can be revved up by changing down the gear to a lower gear ratio. If this is effected rapidly, the combustion engine needs the larger part of its torque for revving up itself. After the combustion engine has been revved up, it can resume the driving of the vehicle by taking over from the flywheel module. In this way it is always possible to drive in an economical way with a low RPM of the combustion engine and the vehicle can be accelerated directly if so desired. There will then no longer be any annoying deceleration in the acceleration.
• the motor and/or generator will first have to be revved up so as to bring the RPM of the flywheel to zero and the brake on the connection between the bypass speed transforming device and the flywheel can be closed.
• bypass speed transforming device it is alternatively possible to block the bypass speed transforming device by means of a coupling between two rotational members, so that the motor and/or generator can deliver a negative torque to the output so as to regain brake energy.
• the transmission can be changed down to the desired gear in which then the combustion engine can be started or in which the vehicle can be driven optimally.
• the flywheel can be positioned concentric to the existing engine flywheel.
• the coupling between the bypass speed transforming device and the drive line can be effected direct by means of the gear of the end reduction.
• the intermediate speed transforming device of the end reduction can be shifted so that fewer gears are needed.
• the motor and/or generator is positioned parallel to the primary shaft, this speed transformation can be made direct with a simple gearing.
• the motor and/or generator can be positioned both inside and outside the transmission housing. If it is positioned outside the housing, a cooling can be installed in a simpler manner.
• the flywheel module can directly replace the present torque converter clutch because it is no longer needed functionally.
• the main clutch can be arranged at a smaller size (for less energy dissipation) and be positioned somewhere in between the crankshaft and the differential.
• the flywheel module or the flywheel may be disengaged as desired by means of an additional disengagement action.
• Another possibility is to realise a connection between the bypass speed transforming device (MG) and the primary shaft of the transmission by means of an additional clutch. This will also allow for extra functions.
• bypass speed transforming devices or even transmission devices
• the motor and/or generator can be connected to any type of energy storage systems or combinations thereof (battery, capacitance etc.).
• the flywheel module can also be connected to the rear wheels, while the main drive is connected to the front wheels and vice versa. As a result, a four-wheel drive vehicle can be realised in a simple manner. Alternatively, it is possible to install the flywheel module in the individual wheels or a plurality of modules can be applied to one vehicle.
• the motor and/or generator need not be an electromotor and/or generator, it may also be a hydraulic or pneumatic motor and/or generator, which is coupled to a hydraulic or pneumatic energy buffer.
• the flywheel may also be a motor and/or generator having relatively high rotational inertia.
