MECHANISM TO OPERATE AS AN ENGINE GENERATOR HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN SERIES FIELD OF ART The present invention falls within

the technical sector of the automobile, and more specifically in hybrid electric vehicles. STATE OF THE ART In recent years there has been growing achievements of vehicles electric. These vehicles can be equipped with DC motors continues or alternate, the latter being preferred by manufacturers on the superior characteristics in them. These vehicles incorporate systems energy storage that can be formed by groups of batteries and / or ultracapacitors. Electric vehicles are benefiting from the quality with many electric motors to operate as and generators and kinetic energy regenerating slowdowns, converting it into electricity to recharge the storage systems energy. Current systems of electrical energy storage have not the features necessary to give electric vehicles a benefits comparable to those of conventional vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines. We know the technology of hybrid electric vehicles, which by combining one or more electric motors and other systems different attempts to remedy the shortcomings of electric vehicles. We must noted, be the one that has achieved a greater industrial success, the technology in a hybrid vehicle combines an electric motor and combustion engine internal. Lately, the trend is to produce hybrid cars rechargeable
Page 2

which combine the internal combustion engine, electric motor, and a storage system electrical energy that can be recharged from any power from the mains. In response to the transmission system is used in hybrid vehicles fall into three main categories: Parallel hybrid: The vehicle is equipped with a combustion engine internal, which through a transmission system connecting the torque to the vehicle's wheels. An electric motor mated to the transmission at some point, working with the internal combustion engine when there is a requirement for great power, and allows the kinetic energy back into the decelerations, turning it into electricity. Allows a reduction fuel consumption, but have the drawbacks of vehicles as the conventional internal combustion engine has to work in a wide speed range and be fitted with a complex system of transmission. Basically this is a conventional car that has been fitted in some stage of the transmission of an electric motor-generator, which reduces the power required of the internal combustion engine, retrieve downturns in energy, thus reducing consumption. Hybrid parallel / series: In this type of vehicle as in the hybrid parallel, the internal combustion engine transmits torque to the wheels

vehicle. These vehicles have a complex system of transmission and electronic management which allows the electric motor is at times responsible for providing torque to move the vehicle. These vehicles have the advantage of consuming less fuel than hybrid parallel, but with the drawbacks of having an internal combustion engine who needs to work in a wide speed range, and a complex electronic transmission and management. Today, there are at producing a car incorporating an internal combustion engine, two engine-generators electric transmission and comprising a epicyclic train and change electronic continuously variable automatic.

Hybrid Series: The simplest transmission scheme. In this type vehicle internal combustion engine provides mechanical power to a electric generator. This generator is connected to a line interconnecting continues to flow through which can power one or more engines electrical panels to provide the torque necessary to provide wheel drive vehicle. This line of current, also systems are connected electrical energy storage car, usually consisting of batteries and ultracapacitors. In a series hybrid vehicle, the batteries are charged with provide electricity when the generator does not work, and the ultra capacitors are responsible for supplying power when there needs High power point that the batteries can not provide. Where in need of heavy load, such as speeding or driving in a sloping road the power required is relatively higher than the required under normal conditions and periods of peak power are relatively short, less than thirty seconds. Therefore a system peak energy storage is required, which can relieve the dynamic fatigue battery. The ultra-capacitors at a density of less energy than batteries, but have a larger density power and a larger number of cycles of life than batteries. The ultra capacitors are also responsible for receiving electric energy from regeneration in the downturns and the battery can not absorb. The task of energy management system is to measure the state of storage batteries and ultra-capacitors and the energy required in line DC power, and control the flow of energy and purpose to maintain a constant voltage on the line. When necessary, the electrical generator into operation and provides, through the power line continues, the power for power the electric motor and recharging the storage systems energy. A computer is responsible for performing the energy balance according
Page 4

with the requirements of the electric motor and the charging status of batteries to determine the transfer from the engine and generator systems energy storage according to control algorithms that have previously been introduced into the drivers of converters that

interconnection line connecting the engine with batteries and with ultra capacitors. When there is a very high demand for energy, transfer of power the engine can be done from the generator and from the energy storage systems. By contrast, when the engine operate in a power generator or fourth quadrant, electricity generated will the engine, the inverter and converter capable of supply line or bar current. The ultra-capacitors will makers to absorb this current after delivery to the batteries so that these can be accepted without overheating or suffering deterioration. The electrical system in which various AC motors are fed by a common line current has been used in several industries, including the winding of paper or steel. In these facilities operating electric motors that are occasionally have to be stopped. The braking energy is harnessed and reverted to the line through the inverter and converter with online delivery capability. The converter is responsible for maintaining a constant voltage on the line, without undulations or ridges, and suitable for the operation of inverters engines. In this scheme the motors connected to the common line interconnection can alternately passing work as generators current and provide power to the line to be used by the rest of the engines. There is no mechanical interconnection between the different power generators. In the series hybrid electric vehicle uses a scheme Electrical energy transfer: generator-line-engine DC electric, similar to installed on trains and modern ships.

In the absence of mechanical connection between the combustion engine internal and different propulsion engine components can be housed of the most convenient way to get the most usable space or better weight distribution. The internal combustion engine is usually more small in a series hybrid because it only has to make the average power necessary. While a conventional vehicle engine has to operate the Most of the time inefficiently to meet the changes in power demands with multiple stops and starts, in the hybrid series engine operation is conducted within the speed range maximum efficiency. Due to these characteristics this type of platform kinematics is ideal for use on buses and in the urban environment. No mechanical transmission between the combustion engine and wheels the vehicle. It has the advantage that it can reduce the size and consumption of internal combustion engine because it can be optimized to work at maximum efficiency revolutions. You can choose the interval functioning of the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine or auxiliary power can be operated regardless of the vehicle dynamic requirements. The system energy storage tank operates as a unit between the engine and

electric and internal combustion engine. The storage capacity of system power is a crucial parameter for the operation of the vehicle and consequently affect the operation of the internal combustion engine thus the electric generator. DOUBLE CLUTCH We know the technology that makes use of a double clutch associated with a box-shifting robot. The dual clutch is used as a means to make the gears in a way much faster than conventional clutches. In this system
Page 6 used in vehicles equipped with conventional combustion engine internal uses a double clutch and a gearbox that has two trees that have associated primary coax each tree secondary, and a single final output to the differential transmission. When speed is selected, a clutch is closed and the torque is transmitted to through one of the clutches, the primary tree and subtree concerned. On the other side of the tree gearbox is pre automatically the next speed selective, so that when the driver operated cam or gear selector lever, which is place will be the opening of the clutch which was closed and will close on clutch for primary and secondary tree of the new speed selective. At this rate there is no clutch pedal and the drive clutches is done by electromechanical actuators or electro-driven cams or lever located on the post driving. The electronic management is responsible for controlling the closing action and opening of clutch bearing in mind the relative rates of input and output. Today there are double disc clutches are available in dry and wet with oil pressure disks. Dry clutches are the most efficient, by not having to have an oil pressure pump. There are commercially available packages that include a full set of Dry twin clutch: clutch, actuators and electronic control unit. There are recent studies for the performance of vehicles parallel hybrid dual clutch bearing and gearbox dual. These vehicles work out to an internal combustion engine, a clutch double, a gearbox and an electric motor coupled to the transmission. Page 7

Technical problems Conventional vehicles are designed intentionally to internal combustion engines are too large and powerful. This excess engine power is determined by commercial considerations requiring manufacturers to produce vehicles with engines suitable for produce large amounts of power and torque that is normally only will be used for short periods on rare occasions. These vehicles are designed under the criteria of peak power needed and not with the

required average power criterion. Movement cycles ISO standard used in Europe, Japan, or the U.S. show that only for very brief moments needed applying high powers in the conduct of private vehicles. Today they are commercially available conventional vehicles fitted with engine power is many times greater than necessary, and also have to operate over a wide speed range. These vehicles are very energy efficient. The series hybrid electric vehicles represent a solution to reducing fuel consumption and reduced emissions gaseous pollutants. In a series hybrid electric vehicle can install an internal combustion engine with a power required criteria. The internal combustion engine of a series hybrid vehicle can be operated in the area that offers better speed performance. In a series hybrid electric vehicle, the electric motor is the responsible for providing the necessary torque to produce movement the vehicle. The electric motor will provide the power and torque necessary to operate across the range of use of vehicles, from the idle to full speed. The energy required to operate the electric motor can be supplied by the electrical generator and / or storage system
Page 8 electricity. If the vehicle has adequate capacity electrical energy storage, then you can run for a given time without having to operate the engine internal combustion. The internal combustion engine is responsible for providing the mechanical energy to the electrical generator in the energy transformation electric power and electric energy supply required for the operation of electric motor and recharge systems energy storage. Like with conventional vehicles, the commercial requirements determine the design of hybrid vehicles in series, equipped with powerful engines too, to offer acceleration characteristics that are sporadically used. Another factor contributing to the use of electric motors excessively powerful in series hybrid vehicles is determined by the fact that the electric motor will be solely responsible for providing torque to the wheels of the vehicle and must counteract the weight of the engine internal combustion generator and energy storage system electric. The paradox is determined by the fact that the vehicle series hybrid electric can rationalize and reduce size and consumption of internal combustion engine, yet has to increase the power of the electric motor installed. The increase in power the electric motor causes the consequent need to increase power generator, internal combustion engine and storage system

fuel. The end result is that the drive system for vehicles series hybrid is too bulky and heavy. While in principle the hybrid vehicle platform series is the most efficient and simple, the above considerations have led to only has been used on city buses, where there is plenty of room
Page 9

to install all elements of the powertrain. There are some large car designs, all-terrain, which have not yet been to the manufacturing stage. The technique used to date in the design of hybrid vehicles power is not suitable for the manufacture of passenger cars utility due to lack of space available and the excessive weight. An electric motor oversized with respect to the burden of work is very inefficient, even in the case of having a good driver. Most of the time the torque generated by the engine is higher than the need to load and internal resistance is lost. Much of the input energy is lost without any actual work. In addition, electric motors draw a lot of electricity in the successive bursts. As the amount of energy lost in the boot is proportional to the torque that the engine can produce, the loss of energy will be far superior to the oversized motor. Should ideally be install a suitable electrical power to the load, but this is not possible if we want that vehicles have good benefits acceleration and top speed. Just keep in mind that electric motors, due to its peculiar features do not require the use of a gear shift for be installed in a vehicle. An electric motor for oversized anticipated average load, and installed in a vehicle with a ratio of transmission that allows the vehicle can reach speeds determined, may have a low efficiency at low speeds, such as that is typically up in city traffic. A ratio equal performance, the electric motor oversized with respect to the average burden of work will suffer greater energy losses.
Page 10

One solution is to install a suitable engine's workload, and an auxiliary motor that could connect to the transmission at times point, but this would result in an increased weight principle, size and complexity of the vehicle. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mechanism by which the generator an electric series hybrid electric vehicle can be operated as transmit engine torque and the transmission needed to move the wheels the vehicle. The mechanism includes a generator-electric motor, a clutch double, box or transmission system, and an internal combustion engine.

The electric motor is attached to double clutch. The electric motor shaft is coupled to the input shaft double clutch and both are supportive. The dual clutch has two clutch independent of each other. Each clutch has its own axis. The shafts are coaxial clutch. The dual clutch consists of: the package with two clutches, electromechanical actuators, electronic management unit, cams or levers control. The mechanism has been designed for the installation of a clutch Dry double disc actuated by electromechanical actuators. This system is more efficient. You can install a wet clutch or discs in oil bath pressure when required to transmit a torque very high through the double clutch, but has the disadvantage that it must attach an electric pump oil and the corresponding circuit Hydraulic. The electronic management unit receives information double clutch reading made by Hall sensors of the impulses received from the
Page 11

wheel generators installed in the trees of the primary and secondary gearbox. You may also receive information of revolution the electric motor, internal combustion engine, speed in differential position of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal position, Hand brake control, position of the brake control selection regenerator, the engine torque of the internal combustion engine torque electric. Using these data can determine the slippage of the clutches and properly managing their opening or closing. On the opposite side, or exit from the clutch has been installed a box or transmission system. The gearbox has two coaxial trees. Each of the coaxial tree is coupled with a streak to one of the two axes of double clutch clutches. Each tree corresponds clutch. The trees are one massive, the other hole, while the massive hole located inside the other. The trees are interspersed bearings and can rotate freely with each over the other. These two trees are: a primary and a secondary respectively, relative to the operation performed in the respective kinematic chains to which they belong. The gears of the gearbox are solidly in the rotation, the axes on which are mounted. The primary tree, interior, solidly built, has a gear that meshes with gear side of a tree which in turn has another gear meshes with the crown of the spread. In the motor mode can be closed for the clutch and enables the transmission of electric motor torque through the clutch double, the primary tree, the tree secondary to the differential, and wheels vehicle.
Page 12

Thus the electric energy from systems energy storage can be transformed into mechanical energy the electric motor and used for vehicle traction. In these circumstances the vehicle will operate as an electric vehicle. An internal combustion engine can be installed together or close to gearbox, and on the opposite side to double clutch. In the generator mode, the internal combustion engine transmits torque primary shaft engine gearbox which is coupled through the striatum. The primary tree has a gear that meshes with the Gear secondary or a hollow tree and who puts the pair. The clutch for this tree is closed and can transmit the torque to through the input shaft double clutch, the electric generator shaft. The secondary tree outside, hollow, has a gear that is geared to the primary cog in a tree. This primary tree is coupled with internal striatum, the striatum of a motor shaft of internal combustion installed next to the gearbox. Thus it can transmit the mechanical energy generated by the internal combustion engine generator to transform it into energy electric. In these circumstances the vehicle will operate as hybrid vehicles in series, the electricity generated being used to power a engine or engines installed, and also serve to recharge systems electrical energy storage. By this mechanism or implement two powertrains different transmission channels, which enable the electric generator coupled to an internal combustion engine vehicle belonging to a serial hybrid, is decoupled from the internal combustion engine and coupled the transmission of the vehicle to be operated as a motor. Using paddles or shift lever, the driver can select the action of the generator, neutral, or motor action

electric. The operation can also be programmed to be fully automatic, so that the vehicle can operate in electric or hybrid mode, depending on the state of charge of batteries, the conditions of travel of the vehicle and the requirements to perform the driver with the accelerator and brake pedals. When the electric motor-generator coupled to the mechanism works electric motor mode, the performance is like the engine main power, and receives orders from its corresponding controller engine. The motor controller receives information from: switch position start-stop, switch forward-reverse motion, pedal position accelerator, brake pedal, parking brake, brake control regeneration. You may also receive orders from active systems and liabilities relating to vehicle stability and traction, such as those installed in vehicles today. When the motor-generator operates in generator mode is controlled by the management system of the generator itself and governed in accordance with

algorithms have been developed and assembled in the scheme of control that regulates the flow of energy from the generator, the interconnecting line direct current, the energy storage system, and engine main power. The speed dual clutch operation is about milliseconds. This high speed operation allows the change operation mode of motor generator as a matter of milliseconds. With greater speed than required for a change speed in a conventional vehicle. When performing change generator mode to motor mode electric circuit is switched control so that the controller receives the position information of the accelerator pedal, brake, and direction of travel. This provision ensures power delivery so smooth and fast. Lets design a vehicle
Page 14

electric hybrid series in which the main electric motor is not oversized, but rather is an electric motor installed in accordance with average power required criteria, not criteria of peak power time. The change in electric motor mode to generator mode is imperative that is done quickly. It can be done with the engine internal combustion or standing up, and use the motor starter generator and internal combustion engine. Once reached the operating system, proceeds with normal operation as electric generator. One advantage of implementing the mechanism in a vehicle hybrid series is transmitting the torque produced by the engine electric generator to the wheels of one axle of the vehicle. The engine Main electric series hybrid vehicle in transmitting the torque to the wheels on the axle. This way when you want it may have traction in all axes, or all-wheel drive. This system has the advantage that transmission can be lighter and simple to manufacture. They can be installed several electrical motors, as in the case there are more than two axles, or are electric motors mounted directly on the wheels. There may be a mode in which close the clutch that allows the transmission from the engine-generator to the wheels, but without the motor is energized electrically, so that the rotor motor to rotate free of charge, moved by the rotation of the wheels with the vehicle movement. In this mode when the vehicle is braked may also use this motor-generator mode and take advantage of regenerative the kinetic energy in the slowdown. When desired it can energize again this motor. In this mode you can also connect a active system of traction control to increase stability, while maintaining an economy running.

Electrical interconnection between different elements or modules

vehicle is performed according to the schema used in hybrid vehicles series. The generator feeds a dc line through the corresponding inverter and converter. A DC line are online: the set of batteries with dual converters direction and the ultracapacitor pack by its corresponding two-way converter. The main electric motor vehicle connected to the line through the converter and inverter. Using a combination of ultracapacitors and batteries in the energy storage system of this type of vehicle permits achieve maximum energy efficiency, and reap the benefits provides the invention. The ultracapacitors, can harness the energy recovered during slowdowns, and also absorb excess energy that can produce the generator. When there is high demand power and the vehicle is used in electric mode with the two engines, ultracapacitors are ideal element to provide such high demand peak or peak power. The batteries, however, act as energy stores and provide or are in normal conditions use. The fact connecting the batteries to the line by converters double meaning, and use of the mechanism under the present invention, may allow reduction in size of the system energy storage of a series hybrid vehicle. The system electrical energy storage mechanism provided vehicle invention may be designed according to the needs stockings electricity, and not according to specific demands crest power. This significantly reduces weight and volume of energy storage system of an electric hybrid vehicle series.
Page 16

The energy transfer is performed on the vehicle through the line DC interconnection. It controls and maintains the voltage at the line. This will create algorithms to control the system with energy storage dc converters double sense. Algorithms are also created to supervise the transfer of energy through the line. There are different control methods energy transfer between the generator and electric motor, from the most simple when the internal combustion engine electric generator works only to the revolutions of maximum efficiency or minimum consumption, to more complex where the generator control electricity is made taking into account parameters concerning the state of charge
batteries, power demand by the driver, or even programmable operating models in response to parameters such as the route to be done. This will depend on the type of vehicle in which the mechanism is installed under the present invention.
