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

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 POWER DRIVE SYSTEM

The invention relates to a hybrid power drive system, comprising: an internal combustion engine having a crankshaft; a first electric motor (14), wherein the first electric motor (14) is an outer rotor electric motor, and comprises an outer rotor (14.2) that is rigidly connected to the crankshaft and rotates together with the crankshaft; a transmission (15) comprising an input shaft (20); and a clutch (18) that is provided between the first electric motor (14) and the transmission (15), and is connected to the input shaft (20) of the transmission. The clutch (18) is configured to be capable of switching between the following positions: an engagement position where the clutch (18) is engaged with the outer rotor (14.2); and a separation position where the clutch (18) is separated from the outer rotor (14.2). The present system is simple in structure, high in efficiency, and low in manufacturing and maintenance costs.

Method for controlling EOP of hybrid vehicle

A method for controlling an electric oil pump (EOP) of a hybrid vehicle may include determining whether or not the hybrid vehicle is in a decelerating situation in an EV mode, driving the EOP at an RPM at a point L, corresponding to a minimum RPM of the EOP to form a target line pressure of a transmission, upon determining that the hybrid vehicle is decelerating in the EV mode, determining whether or not an RPM of a turbine is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference RPM, and driving the EOP at an RPM acquired by adding a predetermined additional RPM to secure an additional flow rate of automatic transmission fluid supplied to a balance chamber of an engine clutch to the RPM at the point L, upon determining that the RPM of the turbine is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference RPM.

Thermomechanical fuses for heat propagation mitigation of electrochemical devices

Presented are thermomechanical fuses for mitigating heat propagation across electrochemical devices, methods for making and methods for using such fuses, and traction battery packs with load-bearing, sacrificial thermomechanical fuses to help prevent thermal runaway conditions. A battery assembly includes an electrically insulating battery housing with multiple battery cells disposed inside the battery housing. These battery cells are electrically interconnected, in series or parallel, and stacked in side-by-side facing relation to form adjacent, mutually parallel stacks of battery cells. Thermomechanical fuses thermally connect neighboring stacks of the battery cells. Each thermomechanical fuse is formed, in whole or in part, from a dielectric material that undergoes deterioration or deformation at a predefined critical temperature; in so doing, the thermomechanical fuse thermally disconnects a first stack of cells from a neighboring second stack of cells.

DRIVE UNIT AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY

A drive unit has a first electric rotary machine and a second electric rotary machine as well as a first shaft and a second shaft. A rotor of the first electric rotary machine is rotationally fixed to the first shaft, and a rotor of the second electric rotary machine is rotationally fixed to the second shaft. The drive unit additionally has a separating clutch. One of the two electric rotary machines is arranged at least partly radially and axially within an area radially delimited by the respective other electric rotary machine.
