Hybrid drive motor vehicle using IC engine and electromotor - has solar cells for charging batteries to power motor and regenerative drive in parallel with crankshaft of IC engine

摘要

A hybrid drive for a vehicle has an IC engine (1) driving a centrifugal clutch (5, 6) and the transmission, as well as a coupling shaft (11) to which an electric drive can be selectively coupled. The electric motor (20) can drive the transmission on its own or boost the torque of the IC engine. A simple belt drive (18) from the electric motor to the clutch system provides the additional torque. The electric motor also serves to start the engine. Solar cells (26) help the charging of the batteries and charge the batteries when the vehicle is parked. ADVANTAGE - Improved additional torque; simple control for electric drive.
