Auxiliary machine-driving device for vehicle

An auxiliary machine-driving device has a first idler roller disposed between an engine roller and a first rotating roller; a second idler roller disposed between the first rotating roller and a second rotating roller; a third idler roller disposed between the second rotating roller and the engine roller; and a linking mechanism driven by one actuator to switch the first idler roller between a state in which the first idler roller contacts the engine roller and the first rotating roller, and a state in which the first idler roller separates from the engine roller and the first rotating roller, and to switch at least one of the second and third idler rollers between a state in which the at least one roller contacts two rollers adjacent the at least one roller, and a state in which the at least one roller separates from the two rollers.

High-speed section disconnect for driven turbocharger

Disclosed is a high-speed section disconnect for a driven turbocharger with a traction drive. The turbo shaft is attached to a turbine and compressor, and interfaces with a high-speed traction drive. A mechanical coupling connects the traction drive to a transmission, which is connected to the engine so that power can flow to or from the turbo shaft, but the mechanical coupling can be selectively disconnected so that the high-speed section of the driven turbocharger can also be decoupled from the engine during certain operating conditions to reduce mechanical losses in the system.

Supercharging device for engine

A supercharging device for an engine is provided, which includes a supercharger provided to an intake passage of the engine, an actuator configured to drive the supercharger, and a controller including a processor configured to control the actuator to drive the supercharger when an operating state of the engine is in a given supercharging range, and to stop the supercharger when the operating state is in a non-supercharging range. The controller causes the actuator to forcibly drive the supercharger in the non-supercharging range when a temperature of the supercharger is lower than a preset temperature, and prohibits the forcible drive of the supercharger when a rotation speed of the supercharger during the forcible drive of the supercharger is lower than a preset rotation speed.

Powering a supercharger for a hybrid electric powertrain

A vehicle has an internal combustion engine, a motor configured to propel the vehicle, and a supercharger. A mechanical connection is configured to transfer torque from at least one of the engine and machine to the supercharger. The supercharger is a single torque load on the mechanical connection. The vehicle further has a first clutch between the motor and engine and a second clutch between the motor and supercharger.
