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
A driveline includes a driver configured to be positioned between an engine and a transmission. The driver includes a housing, a motor/generator, and a clutch. The housing includes an engine mount configured to couple to the engine and a backing plate configured to couple to the transmission. The motor/generator is disposed within the housing and configured to couple to an input of the transmission. The clutch is disposed within the housing and coupled to the motor/generator. The clutch is configured to selectively couple an output of the engine to the motor/generator. The clutch is configured to be spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto.
HYBRID DRIVING MODULE
The present invention relates to a hybrid driving module, in which an input member is aligned in a radial direction and/or an axial direction by a rotor hub, and thus the hybrid driving module may be easily assembled and ensure the high axial balance and the operability and durability of the engine clutch. In the hybrid driving module, the input member may be aligned at least in the radial direction or in the axial direction by a central shaft extension part of the rotor hub. A bearing configured to support a rotation and thrust may be installed between the central shaft extension part and the input member. The input member may be supported to be rotatable relative to a housing. The input member may be aligned in the radial direction and/or the axial direction by the housing.
HYBRID DRIVING MODULE
The present invention provides a hybrid driving module which fixes a rotor while hub ridges of the rotor are provided on a rotor hub and firmly provides the hub ridge to the rotor hub so as to enable vibration noise to be reduced, and which has a structure in which the hub ridges support the rotor in a state in which the hub ridges are fastened to the rotor hub at which the rotor is provided. The hybrid driving module may further include a ridge fixing structure that prevents the hub ridge from separating from the rotor hub. For example, the ridge fixing structure may be a ridge snap ring. The hybrid driving module may further include an elastic body that elastically presses the hub ridge toward the ridge snap ring. The elastic body may elastically press the rotor in the axial direction. The elastic body may also serve as a return spring of the piston plate of the engine clutch.
Generator module
A generator module includes a housing arranged for mounting to a rear face of an internal combustion engine, a generator stator fixed in the housing, a generator rotor arranged radially inside of the generator stator, and a bearing arranged to support a radial inside of the generator rotor on the housing. The generator rotor may include a rotor carrier and a plurality of stacked plates secured to the rotor carrier. The bearing may be at least partially radially aligned with the plurality of stacked plates.
VARIABLE TORQUE MOTOR/GENERATOR/TRANSMISSION
The present disclosure is directed to an electric generator and motor transmission system that is capable of operating with high energy, wide operating range and extremely variable torque and RPM conditions. In accordance with various embodiments, the disclosed system is operable to: dynamically change the output “size” of the motor/generator by modularly engaging and disengaging rotor/stator sets as power demands increase or decrease; activate one stator or another within the rotor/stator sets as torque/RPM or amperage/voltage requirements change; and/or change from parallel to series winding configurations or the reverse through sets of 2, 4, 6 or more parallel, three-phase, non-twisted coil windings with switchable separated center tap to efficiently meet torque/RPM or amperage/voltage requirements.
Electrified military vehicle
