摘要:
The present invention relates to a modular power assisting system. In particular the present invention relates to a modular electric power assisting system that is adaptable to a vehicle/engine driven system so as to be operated/powered by electric system and/or its original power system. The synergistic combination of the motor system; motor control system and energy storage device coupled to the regenerative braking system of the present invention enables the power assisting system of the present invention to adapt to the vehicle/engine without involving substantial modifications in engine, power train, drive train and vehicle. The engine and electric motor exploits advantages of each of the power source based on the operating conditions of the vehicle/engine driven system by selectively responding to the engine's power demands so as to enhance fuel efficiency, reduce undesirable emissions and provide better drivability.

A method of converting a vehicle having an internal combustion engine, a transmission, an alternator and a battery into a hybrid vehicle is disclosed. The method comprises installing an electric motor to the vehicle that is configured to assist the internal combustion engine in rotating a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, installing an energy storage element configured to provide power to the electric motor, installing a motor control unit configured to control the amount of power delivered from the energy storage element to the electric motor and replacing an existing pulley on a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine with a new pulley configured to receive a first belt extending between the new pulley and an alternator pulley and a second belt extending between the new pulley and an electric motor pulley.

A hybrid vehicle is disclosed. The hybrid vehicle comprises a prime mover having an output shaft. The output shaft has a first end and an opposite second end. The hybrid vehicle also comprises a transmission coupled to the first end of the output shaft, a first energy storage device, an alternator coupled to the second end of the output shaft and configured to power one or more electrical systems of the vehicle and charge the first energy storage device, a motor coupled to the second end of the output shaft and configured to assist the prime mover in rotating the output shaft, a second energy storage device configured to provide power to the motor and a motor control unit configured to control the amount of power delivered from the energy storage device to the motor.
摘要:
A method of providing assistance to an internal combustion engine for a vehicle using an electric motor coupled to the engine is provided. The method comprises predicting a driving range based on historical driving range data. The historical driving range data includes one or more distances that the vehicle was driven during one or more previous driving cycles. The method further comprises selectively operating the motor to provide assistance to the engine at predetermined operating conditions of the engine. The assistance provided to the engine at one or more of the predetermined operating conditions is determined based at least in part on the predicted driving range.
