Hybrid vehicle drive system and method and idle reduction system and method

a hybrid vehicle and drive system technology, applied in the direction of battery/fuel cell control arrangement, power to power outlet, capacitor propulsion, etc., can solve the problems of reducing the horsepower of the engine, requiring repositioning of existing drive train components, and lack of no-idle system, etc., to achieve the effect of increasing the horsepower rating

Problems solved by technology

One limitation of this system is that the second prime mover is typically positioned between the first prime mover and the transmission, creating the need to reposition existing drive train components.
However, series design hybrids also generally include a larger, heavier battery; have a greater demand on the engine to maintain the battery charge; and include inefficiencies due to the multiple energy conversions.
However, parallel design hybrids typically lack a no-idle system and may have non-optimal engine operation (e.g., low rpm or high transient loads) under certain circumstances.
Sophisticated power train control systems and power management systems required for the operation of a hybrid vehicle drive system can add cost and complexity.

Embodiment Construction

[0055]Hybrid vehicle drive systems according to many possible embodiments are presented. One feature of one exemplary embodiment of the hybrid vehicle drive system is that a drive shaft can be powered singly or in any combination by a first prime mover, a second prime mover, and an accessory. Preferred embodiments incorporate hydraulic systems into the hybrid vehicle drive system for optimal energy storage and usage. It is noted that the term motor as used herein refers to a motor / generator or motor / pump and is not limited to a device that performs only motor operations.

[0056]Another feature of one exemplary embodiment of the system is that when a power take-off (PTO) configured to be engaged or disengaged while a transmission is moving is used, any unneeded drive system components other than a first prime mover can be entirely disconnected from the drive train, reducing inefficiencies and wear in situations where the different portions of the system do not need to interact, such as...

Abstract

One embodiment relates to a hybrid vehicle drive system for a vehicle including a first prime mover, a first prime mover driven transmission, a rechargeable power source, and a PTO. The hybrid vehicle drive system can include a control system for reducing or eliminating regenerative braking during a traction control or anti-lock braking event.
