Abstract

The invention relates to a self-charging electric car that uses a set of dynamos, which takes advantage of the rotation of the wheel axles during movement to charge a battery divided into two portions: one portion is charged before installation to move the car, while the other portion is charged by the dynamos. The two batteries then switch their functions when one of them is fully charged via the automation unit, allowing the energy from the dynamos to directly power the car if the speed exceeds 100 km / h, and then revert to the previous system if the speed falls below 80 km / h. The function of the invention is to change the method for charging an electric car and to completely do away with the need to connect it to the grid.

Description

[0001]Title of the inventionSelf-recharging electric car Technical field to which the invention relates The invention relates to the field of electric cars, in particular to an innovative recharging method for the electric car that allows it to self-charge via a set of dynamos Purpose of the invention This invention is considered a radical, efficient and permanent solution to the problem of recharging. It also saves time and money and eliminates the disadvantages of currently available electric cars, since the car does not need to be connected to electricity at all, and it charges its battery automatically and independently during movement and takes advantage of the rotation of the wheel axles to produce electrical energy using a set of dynamos that gives it the ability to travel long distances without the need to stop or charge.State of the prior art The current technology and method of recharging electric cars are expensive and time-consuming, in addition to the need to establish charging stations and other inefficient and expensive methods for individuals and governments, since the car needs 30 minutes to recharge at the stations, while it takes 12 hours to recharge at home with a 220 volt current, in addition to the limited travel distance. Statement of figures Figure 1: shows the general form of the invention and its basic components Figure 2: shows the method of connecting dynamos in series in medium and large vehicles, where each dynamo has a belt connecting it to the rotation axis.Figure S: It explains the method of connecting the dynamo to the branch, where each pair is placed one on top of the other, with an additional rotating head welded to one of the dynamos to keep the belt connected to the rotating axis (until the factory produces a dynamo with two rotating heads) Presentation of the invention and method of realization A set of dynamos (1) is installed in the car (front and rear) in series (Figure 1 / 2) or in connection (Figure S) if the car is small. These dynamos are mounted on an iron support (5) connected to the running gear of the car. Each dynamo has a belt (2) which connects it to a rotating iron axle (4) at a stationary pulley (3) with a diameter of 10 cm, fixed with bolts in the axle (similar to the method of installing gears). This axle is mounted and carried on the vehicle's undercarriage by an iron support (5).The iron support is welded on its two heads, a hollow iron cube that can accommodate a wheel bearing (6), with a gap of 0.5 mm between the wheel and the inside of the cube. This cube contains in its middle a circular cavity with a diameter of 5.2 cm to accommodate the axle and is closed at the top by two bolts (for the maintenance of the wheel bearings). We prepare 4 medium-sized iron gears (7) with a diameter of 10 cm, then we make in their middle a cavity with a diameter of 5.05 cm to accommodate the axis of rotation. We weld an iron circle with a circumference of 2.5 cm and a diameter of 5.05 cm on the perimeter of the right cavity of the gear, containing a longitudinal hole, and another on the perimeter of the left cavity of the gear, containing a transverse hole (to receive the bolts). We drill holes in the rotating shaft to accommodate the bolts when attaching the gears to its end.We install the rotating axle inside the wheel bearing (6) mounted on the iron support (5). Then we fix the iron gear to the end of the rotating axle using 7cm long bolts. We create a circular cavity with a diameter 1 mm larger than the diameter of the wheel axles inside 4 iron gears with a diameter of 12cm and weld them to the front (8) and rear (10) wheel axles so that they are opposite the gears of the rotating axle (4). The rotating iron axle (4), consisting of pulleys (3) that hold dynamo belts and two medium-sized gears (7) on each side, is connected to the front (8) or rear (10) wheel axle via iron chains (9) connecting the two axles. From each dynamo (1) come two wires. These wires (11) are bundled inside a plastic tube (12) and the wire harness exits to the automatic control unit (13) of the vehicle's engine.A current transformer (14) is placed between the control unit and the batteries if the engine operates with alternating current AC (Figure 1) as found in this invention, while we place it between the output of the dynamo wiring harness and the automatic control unit if the engine operates with direct current DC as found in some types of cars. The automatic charges one of the two batteries (Battery 1) (15) with the energy produced by the dynamos while powering the car with the energy of Battery 2 (16), which is charged when the car is installed. The role and function of the two batteries are changed by the automatic control unit when Battery 1 (15) is 100% charged, and so on, with the two batteries exchanging the charging and discharging functions each time one of them is charged.The automatic power station directly supplies the car with dynamo energy according to its needs if the speed exceeds 100 km / h, and then returns to the previous function and system if the speed drops below 80 km / h. This increases the battery life and efficiency and gives it time to cool down. Note: The belt can be replaced by a small chain by installing a small gear on the rotation axis (instead of the pulley) and another on the dynamo. We chose to use the belt in this invention to facilitate maintenance and reduce weight and time, and the number of dynamos can also be increased as in large trucks.
