METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A TWO-SPEED ACCESSORY DRIVE OF AN ENGINE

Methods and systems are provided for engaging and disengaging an electromagnetic clutch of a two-speed accessory drive of an engine of a vehicle. In one example, a method comprises, responsive to an electrical demand being higher than a threshold electrical demand, operating an electric machine of the vehicle in a motor mode to reduce a speed of a grounding gear of a planetary gear set of a two-speed accessory drive (TSAD) of the vehicle; and engaging an electromagnetic clutch responsive to the speed of the grounding gear reaching a clutch engagement threshold speed.

Two-speed accessory drive with integrated motor-generator

An accessory drive, including a planetary gear set with a plurality of components arranged to be concentrically disposed around a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. The plurality of components includes: a sun gear; a planet carrier; a ring gear; and a planet gear meshed with the sun gear and the ring gear. A first component of the planetary gear set: is arranged to non-rotatably connect to a rotor of an electric motor/generator; and is arranged to connect to a power transfer component for least one accessory. A second component of the planetary gear set is arranged to non-rotatably connect to the crankshaft. For a starting mode of the accessory drive, the electric motor/generator is arranged to: rotate the first component of the planetary gear set; and rotate the second component of the planetary gear set with respect to the first component of the planetary gear set.

Electrified military vehicle

A military vehicle including a chassis, an engine, a motor/generator, and an energy storage system. The chassis including a passenger capsule and a rear module coupled to the passenger capsule. The passenger capsule includes a rear subframe assembly, a left rear wheel well, a right rear wheel well, and a bed. The engine is coupled to the chassis for providing mechanical power to the military vehicle and the motor/generator is coupled to the engine. The energy storage system including a battery coupled to the rear module between the left rear wheel well and the right rear wheel well, the energy storage system electrically coupled to the chassis and electrically coupled to the motor/generator. The military vehicle is operable in a silent mobility mode with the engine inactive and the energy storage system providing power to the motor/generator to operate the military vehicle.

Electrified military vehicle

A driveline including a motor/generator configured to receive power from an engine and output power to at least one of a tractive element or an accessory, an energy storage system including a battery configured to be supported by a rear module of a vehicle, the energy storage system electrically coupled to the motor/generator to selectively receive electrical power from the motor/generator and provide electrical power to the motor/generator, wherein the driveline is operable in a silent mobility mode with the energy storage system providing power to the motor/generator to operate the vehicle.

Electrified military vehicle

A driveline for a military vehicle includes an engine, an energy storage system, an accessory drive coupled to the engine, a transmission configured to couple to at least one of a front axle or a rear axle of the military vehicle, a second motor coupled to the transmission and electrically coupled to the energy storage system, and a clutch positioned between the engine and the second motor. The accessory drive includes an air compressor and a first motor. The first motor is electrically coupled to the energy storage system. The clutch is spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto based on operation of the air compressor. The driveline is operable in a plurality of modes including an engine-only mode and an electric-only mode.

Electrified military vehicle

A front end accessory drive (FEAD) for a military vehicle. The FEAD includes a first belt, a second belt, multiple accessories, an electric motor-generator, at least one other accessory, and a sprag clutch. The accessories and the electric motor-generator are coupled with the first belt. The at least one other accessory, the first belt, and the second belt are coupled with the sprag clutch. The second belt is configured to couple with an output shaft of an engine of the military vehicle and be driven by the output shaft of the engine to drive the sprag clutch. The sprag clutch is thereby configured to drive the at least one other accessory and the first belt, and the first belt is thereby configured to drive the plurality of accessories, and the electric motor-generator.

Electrified military vehicle

An energy storage system for a military vehicle, the energy storage system including a lower support configured to be coupled to a bed of the military vehicle, a lower isolator mount coupled to the lower support, a battery coupled to the isolation mounts such that the weight of the battery is supported via the lower isolator mount and the lower support, the battery configured to be electrically coupled to a motor/generator, a bracket coupled to the battery, and an upper isolator mount coupled to the bracket and configured to couple to a rear wall of the military vehicle.

WORKING MACHINE

A working machine includes a machine body, a steering device capable of changing an orientation of the machine body, a first wheel on the machine body, a second wheel on the machine body and separated from the first wheel in a machine-body width direction, a rotational difference generator to cause a rotational difference between the first and second wheels and that is a braking device, and a controller configured or programmed to include a first control unit to set a steering angle of the steering device based on a planned traveling route, and a second control unit to control the rotational difference generator based on the planned traveling route to cause a rotational difference between the first and second wheels. Based on the planned traveling route, the second control unit is configured or programmed to cause the braking device to perform setting about braking of either the first or second wheels by performing pumping control.

WORK VEHICLE

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body provided with a travel device; a prime mover provided in the vehicle body; a transmission device capable of speed-changing a driving force from the prime mover and transmitting the driving force to the travel device; a transmission case housing the transmission device and being filled with lubricating oil; and a control device capable of switching between a warm-up operation mode in which a gear of the transmission device is rotated in a state in which transmission of power from the transmission device to the travel device is blocked and a travel operation mode in which the gear is rotated in a state in which the power is transmitted from the transmission device to the travel device.
