Definitions

  • the distributed differential mixing combined power system is used in driving the traffic machinery such as vehicles, ships, flying machines or other mechanical structures (or other industrial or process equipment)in rotational driving applications, wherein it is chiefly comprised of that the rotational output shaft of the internal combustion engine (or other rotational power sources) is not only used to drive the front section load directly or through the transmission devices such as the transmission gears, belt or chain or the couplers, but is also coupled with the input shaft of the differential mixing drive unit to drive the rear section load.
  • the said differential mixing drive device is comprised of an electrical machine combined with a three-end shaft differential wheels transmission system which is embodied in a three-end shaft differential gears structure, wherein the two differential output shaft and a input shaft are coupled with the electrical device through a transmission gear, while the two wheel shafts of the differential gears are respectively coupled with the transmission middle shaft drived by the drive side rotational power unit and are coupled with the input shaft of the rear differential gear box through a clutch to drive the two side differential acting rear section load; wherein the above said three-end shaft differential gears system can be substituted by a planetary gear train and the transmission gear can be substituted by a friction wheel; further, a brake is installed between the rotor and the stator of the electrical machine and the said brake is controlled by the operating device to generate motor driving functions when the input current is applied or to generate the variable speed coupling functions through the output current when it is employed as a generator, or to be used for starting the engine and the power regeneration brake which is particularly for case when the engine is the main transmission power source to charge the
  • the said engine can be at a constant speed or at a partially adjustable speed thereby to maintain at a working speed of higher operating efficiency and lower pollution and one part of the differential speed output power generated through the differential mixing drive device is used for driving the load while the rest part of the power is converted through the generator function of the electrical machine of the differential mixing drive device to charge the battery, thereby to promote the engine efficiency in the variable speed driving at the low driving speed range, to acquire the charging power to the battery while reducing the pollution, and to provide the variable speed coupling.
  • it can also be used as a driving motor to generate rotational output to drive the load independently or to drive the load with the engine together.

  • the energy and noise pollution issues are becoming more and more serious, and a better solution to alleviate the problems is to use the electrical power driven carriers.
  • the R&D of the electrical power driven carriers up to now is limited by the capacity of the batteries to achieve a larger moving range, while to increase the battery volume or the quantities will correspondingly increase the self-weight of the carrier resulting in consuming more electrical energy and does not meet the economic requirements. Therefore, before there us a big breakthrough in solving the battery technical problems, the more practical driving method is to use the combined driving structure designs, wherein the developed ones include:
  • (A) Series Combined Power design This design is the most typical structure for the electrical driven vehicle, wherein the generator is driven by the engine to generate electricity and charge the battery, then the battery provides electricity to the driven motor to drive the vehicle. As the energy is converted several times, the overall efficiency of this design is low, such as the GM HX3 of General Motors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In recent years, the energy and noise pollution issues are becoming more and more serious, and a better solution to alleviate the problems is to use the electrical power driven carriers. However, the R&D of the electrical power driven carriers up to now is limited by the capacity of the batteries to achieve a larger moving range, while to increase the battery volume or the quantities will correspondingly increase the self-weight of the carrier resulting in consuming more electrical energy and does not meet the economic requirements. Therefore, before there us a big breakthrough in solving the battery technical problems, the more practical driving method is to use the combined driving structure designs, wherein the developed ones include:
(A) Series Combined Power design: This design is the most typical structure for the electrical driven vehicle, wherein the generator is driven by the engine to generate electricity and charge the battery, then the battery provides electricity to the driven motor to drive the vehicle. As the energy is converted several times, the overall efficiency of this design is low, such as the GM HX3 of General Motors.
(B) Synchronized Power on common shaft design: It is by directly series combining the engine power output shaft and the rotating shaft of the driven motor, thereby to generate driving and speed controlling functions, such as the West Germany sedan VW CHICO
For the case of the engine or the motor described in (B), only one of them can be selected for output transmission and the combination of their power output is not available.
The disclosed distributed differential mixing combined power system of the invention is characterized that the output power from the output shaft of the engine (or other rotational power source) is not only used to drive the front section load, but is also combined with a differential mixing drive device to drive the rear section load, wherein the electrical machine of the said differential mixing drive device is constituted by an AC or DC, brushed or brushless electric machine combined with the three-end shaft differential wheels transmission system which is embodied in a three-end shaft differential gears structure, wherein the two differential output shaft and a input shaft are coupled with the electrical device through a transmission gear, while the two wheel shafts of the differential gears are respectively coupled with the transmission middle shaft drived by the drive side rotational power unit and are coupled with the input shaft of the rear differential gear box through a clutch to drive the two side differential acting rear section load; wherein the above said three-end shaft differential gears system can be substituted by a planetary gear train and the transmission gear can be substituted by a friction wheel; further, a brake is installed between the rotor and the stator of the electrical machine and the said brake is controlled by the operating device to generate motor functions when the input current is applied or to generate the generator output functions pulled by the external force. This design can add up the power and speed of the engine output to the rear load section and the output generated by the electrical machine itself while the adding process is not affected by the speed relationship between the two; and in general, it has a smaller system volume and saves the cost and space. The said electrical machine can be controlled by the operating device to generate motor driving functions when the input current is applied to drive the front section load or the rear section load, or to drive them simultaneously, or to start the engine, or to provide the generator output due to the rotation speed difference between the engine rotational power input and the driven load and to provide the differential adjusting function for the controllable speed change through the coupling torque generated by the output current, or to be used as the power regeneration brake which is particularly for case when the engine is the main-transmission power source to charge the battery through the speed difference between the two differential shafts of the three-end shaft differential gears system in the differential mixing drive device structure, wherein the speed difference with the rear load section can be adjusted by controlling the charging current. The said engine can be at a constant speed or at a partially adjustable speed thereby to maintain at a working speed of higher operating efficiency and lower pollution and one part of the differential speed output power generated through the differential mixing drive device is used for driving the load while the rest part of the power is converted through the generator function of the electromagnetic coupling device to charge the battery, thereby to promote the engine efficiency in the variable speed driving at the low driving speed range, to acquire the charging power to the battery while reducing the pollution, and to provide the variable speed coupling. Besides, it can also be used as a driving motor to generate rotational output to drive the load independently or to drive the load with the engine together.

FIG. 8 is the seventh application system of FIG. 1: It discloses the application example of further installing the clutch CL105 and eliminating the clutch CL104 and brakes B102 and B103, and the system functions are delineated in Table 8.
The above described application examples are for reference only, wherein the practical applications can be achieved by rendering the front and the rear section loads constituted in a distributed differential mixing structure of the combined driving characteristics on the loads according to the performance requirements without changing the design of this invention to select the corresponding operating and control components.
For the case when the system of the embodying examples in FIG. 1˜8 are applied on the carriers, the angle displacement relationships between the front and rear section loads and the drive power source resulted from the transmission ratio and the wheel outside diameter differences include: The angle displacement speed of the two loads and the drive side rotational power source are operated according to the wheel system ratio relationships, or the angle displacement relationship between the two loads and their operations with the drive side rotational power source are not according to the wheel system ratio (such as slipping on the road surface), particularly, the relationships between the angle displacement of the rear section load and the drive side power source or between the front and rear section loads can be specially set not to operate according to the wheel system ratio relationship, but to operate through the differential acting adjustment by the electrical machine U101;
The differential acting adjustment of the electrical machine U101 includes the active adjustment through input power to function as a motor or the passive adjustment through functioning as a generator to output power;
In the carrier driving applications of the afore said front section load and the rear section load, the front section load can be the front wheel or the rear wheel, the rear section-load can be the matched front wheel or rear wheel structure with the afore said definition;
The distributed differential mixing combined power system has numerous operating functions in the section differential driving characteristic structure, therefore in the practical applications, it can be embodied to be comprised of all the functions or part of the functions.
As summarized from the above descriptions, the distributed differential mixing combined power system can be applied at vehicles, boats or utilized as other fixed combined driving power. The afore said embodying examples disclose the various application modes of the distributed differential mixing combined power system of the invention and in practical applications, the peripheral components for the output functions can be selected according to needs, thereby to flexibly select the required system.
