On the Width of vehicle, a stator case 49 is connected to the left side of crankcase 48, and this crankcase is used to support rotating bent axle 22, and ACG actuating motor 21a is installed in this stator case 49 in addition.This ACG actuating motor 21a is a so-called external rotor formula motor.A stator of this motor is made up of a coil 51, the lead of this coil 51 be wrapped in the tooth 50 that is fixed on this stator case 49 around.On the other hand, an external rotor 52 is fixed on the bent axle 22, and has columniform shape, is covered with the periphery of stator.A magnet 53 also is disposed on the inside face of this external rotor 52.A fan 54a who is used to cool off ACG actuating motor 21a is fixed on external rotor 52.If fan 54a and bent axle 22 rotate synchronously, coolant air will be inhaled into from the cold air admission port on the side surface 55a of the case lid 55 that is formed at stator case 49.
On the Width of vehicle, a change speed gear box (Cell) 59 is connected on the left side of bent axle 48.A fan 54b is arranged in this change speed gear box 59, and this fan is fixed on the left end of bent axle 22, and the drive side of a toric transmission 23 is connected on the bent axle 22 by starting clutch 40, and a drive motor 21b then is connected on the slave end of this toric transmission 23.
Fan 54b is used to cool off toric transmission 23 and the drive motor 21b that is installed in the change speed gear box 59, and with respect to toric transmission 23, this fan is disposed on the same side with drive motor 21b, just the left side on the vehicle-width direction.Cold air admission port 59a is formed at the left side of car body front side and change speed gear box 59.If fan 54b and bent axle 22 synchronously rotate, extraneous air will be inhaled in the change speed gear box 59 by the cold air admission port 59a near fan 54b, thereby makes drive motor 21b and toric transmission 23 forced coolings.
Toric transmission 23 has a belt conv, form by ring-type vee-belt 63, this belt is wrapped between drive side driven pulley and the slave end driven pulley 62, wherein the drive side driven pulley is fixed on from crankcase on bent axle 22 left ends that stretch out along vehicle-width direction by starting clutch 40, slave end driven pulley 62 then is fixed on the driven shaft 60 by free-wheel clutch 44, and this driven shaft 60 is supported on the axis change speed gear box parallel with crankshaft center line rotationally.Shown in the amplifier section among Fig. 5, the installation of drive side driven pulley 58 can make it pass through the circumferential rotation of axle sleeve 58d with respect to bent axle 22, and is fixed on drive side dead sheave halfbody 58a on the axle sleeve 58d and one by one and can endwisely slips but the drive side motion pulley halfbody 58c that can not circumferentially rotate is formed with respect to axle sleeve 58d.
On the other hand, slave end driven pulley 62 by one limited relative driven shaft 60 endwisely slip but the slave end dead sheave halfbody 62a that can do to rotate in a circumferential direction and a projection that is fixed on slave end dead sheave halfbody 62a and the slave end movable sheave halfbody 62b that can slide are in the axial direction formed.Ring-type vee-belt 63 is wrapped in the belt groove, and this belt groove has and is formed between drive side dead sheave halfbody 58a and the drive side movable sheave halfbody 58c respectively and is formed at V-type cross section between slave end dead sheave halfbody 62a and the slave end movable sheave halfbody 62b.The spring 64 that is used for usually slave end movable sheave halfbody 62b being pressed to slave end dead sheave halfbody 62a is arranged in the rear surface (left side of vehicle-width direction) of this slave end movable sheave halfbody 62b.
In this structure, if the rotating speed of bent axle 22 raises, for driving driven pulley 58, centnifugal force will act on the gravity roller 58b, and drive side movable sheave halfbody 58c will slide to the side of drive side dead sheave halfbody 58a.Drive side movable sheave halfbody 58c draws closer together to drive side dead sheave halfbody 58a by the degree of sliding.Because the recess width of drive side driven pulley 58 reduces, the contact position slippage of drive side driven pulley 58c and V-shape belt 63 is to the radially more outer position of drive side driven pulley 58, so that the increasing around diameter of V-shape belt.Like this, in slave end driven pulley 62, the recess width that is formed by slave end dead sheave halfbody 62a and slave end movable sheave halfbody 62b also increases thereupon.Especially, along with bent axle 22 change in rotational speed, the cooling diameter of V-shape belt (drive diameter) also changes continuously, and speed ratio also just changes automatically and continuously.
Starting clutch 40 is positioned at than on the more outer position (being the left side of vehicle-width direction in the present embodiment) of toric transmission 23, promptly, between drive side dead sheave halfbody 58a and fan 54b, and near the cold air admission port 59a that is formed in the change speed gear box 59.This starting clutch 40 has the shell 40a of a hat-shaped, this shell is fixed on the axle sleeve 58d, an outer dish 40b, be fixed on the left end of bent axle 22, a shoe plate 40d is fixed on by a counterweight 40c on the outward flange of outer dish 40b, thereby facing to radially outer direction, and a spring 40e, be used for oppressing radially outwardly shoe plate 40d.
According to this structure, if the speed of driving engine, the rotating speed of bent axle 22 just, when being lower than a particular value (for example 3000rpm), the propulsive effort transmission between bent axle 22 and the toric transmission 23 just is interrupted.If engine speed raises, when the rotating speed of bent axle 22 surpasses this particular value, the centnifugal force that then acts on the counterweight 40c will overcome the thrust that spring radially inwardly acts on, and counterweight 40c shifts to radial outside, thereby shoe plate 40d is with an inner circumferential surface of defeating tight shell 40a bigger than particular value.In this way, the rotating speed of bent axle 22 is delivered on the axle sleeve 58d by shell 40, and the drive side driven pulley 58 that is fixed on the axle sleeve 59 is driven.
Free-wheel clutch 44 comprises the outer power-transfer clutch 44a of a cup-shaped, one with the concentric also compacted internal clutch 44b of outer power-transfer clutch, and transmission that makes turning effort can only folk prescription to ground the roller 44c from internal clutch 44b to outer power-transfer clutch 44a.Outer power-transfer clutch 44a is also as the internal rotor body of drive motor 21b, and with the internal rotor body be same parts.In addition, the left end of the projection of the inner periphery of internal clutch 44b and slave end dead sheave halfbody 62a interconnects with spline.In this way, this free-wheel clutch 44 is disposed in the internal rotor 80 of the drive motor 21b that forms the internal rotor shape, and is disposed on the vehicle-width direction with on the close position of the spring on rear surface one side (left side of vehicle-width direction) of slave end movable sheave halfbody 62b 64.
In this structure, on the one hand, be delivered to the propulsive effort of the slave end driven pulley 62 of toric transmission 23 from driving engine 20, by slave end dead sheave halfbody 62a, internal clutch 44b, outer power-transfer clutch 44a---be the internal rotor body, driven shaft 60 and reduction gear 69 and be passed on the trailing wheel WR.But on the other hand, when promoting vehicle or regeneration motion, the propulsive effort that comes from trailing wheel WR is transmitted back reduction gear 69, driven shaft 60 and internal rotor body---promptly outside power-transfer clutch 44a.But owing to outer power-transfer clutch 44a slides with respect to internal clutch 44b, so this propulsive effort can not be delivered on reduction gear and the driving engine 20.
Driven shaft 60 is disposed in for the inner-rotor-type drive motor 21b of motor output shaft on the position of rear view of vehicle of change speed gear box 59.That is, drive motor 21b is fixed on the reduction gear 69 by driven shaft 60 according to an embodiment of the invention, and motor output shaft, promptly driven shaft 60, then are arranged to the Width towards vehicle.Internal rotor 80 is by driven shaft 60---and be the output shaft of toric transmission 23, the cup-shaped internal rotor---be internal clutch 44b, utilization is formed at a projection 80b on the central unit and is assembled to spline on the driven shaft, and a magnet 80c who is arranged on the internal clutch 44b open side outside face forms.The element that rotor sensor 81 on a plurality of inwall 59A that will be fixed on change speed gear box 59 is detected is fixed on the bottom outer surface of internal clutch 44b.On the other hand, stator 83 is made up of coil 83c, and the lead of this coil 83c is wrapped on the tooth 83b that is fixed in the stator case 83a in the change speed gear box 59.
Drive motor 21b is except having the function as motor when driving engine 20 is assisted output, because it has above-mentioned structure, it can also give battery 74 (not illustrating among Fig. 2) charging as an electrical generator, and the rotation of driven shaft at this moment is converted into electric energy.Being used for controlling PWM (pulse duration modulation) signal of this drive motor 21b and the electric energy in when regeneration is transfused to and outputs to terminal (drawing does not illustrate).
In addition, this drive motor 21b is directly installed on by stator case 83a on the inwall 59A of cast iron change-speed box 59, and a plurality of cooling fin 59b that extend to rear view of vehicle are arranged on the outer wall 59B (motor accessories part outside face) of the change speed gear box 59 of corresponding direct mount position equidistantly.That is, on planar view, be disposed in (left side) on the position more outer, that is to say,, and toric transmission is clipped in the middle on the opposite of reduction gear than toric transmission at drive motor 21b on the vehicle-width direction.In addition, see to a side of vehicle in the drawings that drive motor 21b is positioned to the line between the axle 68 that is higher than bent axle 22 and trailing wheel WR, and more forward than axle 68.That is to say, axle drive shaft 60, promptly the output shaft of drive motor 21b is positioned at than on the higher position of straight line L.
Reduction gear 69 is disposed in the Transmission Room 70 of change speed gear box 59 left rear side.Except having the tween drive shaft 73 that is parallel to axle drive shaft 60 and the 68 rotatable supports of trailing wheel WR axle, this reduction gear 69 also has a pair of one- level reducing gear 71,71 and is formed at the right part of driven shaft 60 and the core of tween drive shaft 73 respectively, and a pair of double- reduction gear 72,72 is formed at the right-hand member of tween drive shaft 73 and the left end of axle 68 respectively.According to this structure, after the rotation of driven shaft 60 is slowed down through a specific reduction ratio, be delivered to the axle 68 of the trailing wheel WR that is parallel to this driven shaft.
The control unit 7 that is used to control driving engine 20, ACG actuating motor 21a and drive motor 21b is control setups that comprise CPU (central processing unit), ROM (read-only memory (ROM)) and RAM (random access storage device).This control unit 7 obtains corresponding information from some devices, these install as be used to detect the engine load sensor of the aperture of throttle gate 17, B/P EGR Back Pressure Transducer EGR 19, rotor sensor 57,81 etc.This control unit 7 is exported specific control signal in ACG actuating motor 21a and drive motor 21b actuator 90,91 separately, and outputs to the ignition device that is used for start the engine 20 light-up plugs 29.
For hybrid vehicle, when fire an engine, utilize the ACG actuating motor 21a on the bent axle 22 that bent axle is rotated with said structure.At this moment, starting clutch 40 does not engage, and 23 propulsive effort transmission is interrupted from bent axle 22 to toric transmission.Then, with the rotational synchronization of bent axle 22, be inhaled into fuel gas mixture in the cylinder 72 by spark ignitor, piston 25 is reciprocating thereupon.Then, operational ton according to the throttling handle, if the rotating speed of bent axle 22 surpasses a particular value (for example 3000rpm), the turning effort of bent axle 22 will be passed on toric transmission 23, free-wheel clutch 44 and the reduction gear 69 by starting clutch 40, thereby drives trailing wheel WR.
When starting, since the supply of battery 74, drive motor 21b starting, and the propulsive effort that can pass through driving engine be assisted the rotation of driven shaft 60.In addition, the driving engine 20 that utilizes of replacement starts, and also can only utilize drive motor 21b to start.In this case, because the effect of free-wheel clutch 44, the rotation of the driven shaft 60 when utilizing drive motor 21b does not pass on the slave end driven pulley 62, and toric transmission 23 is not driven yet.In this way, when travelling when only driving trailing wheel WR with drive motor 21b, the efficient of transfer of energy is improved.
When only travelling, if load is bigger, as quickening or when running at high speed, also can utilizing drive motor 21b to come auxiliary engine to travel with driving engine 20.At this moment, because the crank motion of piston 25 makes the turning effort of bent axle 22 be passed on driven shaft 60, toric transmission 23 and the free-wheel clutch 44 by starting clutch 40.In addition, the propulsive effort of drive motor 21b is also transmitted by free-wheel clutch 44, and the power of this combination drives trailing wheel WR by reduction gear 69.On the contrary, when only travelling, can utilize driving engine 20 to come helper motor to travel with drive motor 21b.
When only travelling as drive source with drive motor 21b, when the speed of a motor vehicle is stablized (driving at a slow speed), if the rotating speed of the starting clutch 40 that engages is lower than above-mentioned particular value, even driving engine 20 is in work, inorganic change-speed box 23 is not driven yet, but can utilize ACG actuating motor 21a to produce electric energy.When this speed stabilizing was travelled, when only using drive motor 21b as drive source, the transmission of power from drive motor 21b to trailing wheel WR carried out under the situation that does not drive toric transmission, this means that the efficient of transfer of energy is improved.
When slowing down, free-wheel clutch 44 can not pass to the rotation of driven shaft 60 on the slave end driven pulley 62 of toric transmission, this means that toric transmission is not driven, and can directly drive motor 21b be transmitted back in the rotation of axle 68 by reduction gear.Especially, when the regenerative drives from trailing wheel WR to drive motor 21b, the propulsive effort that is delivered to drive motor 21b from trailing wheel WR can't be by toric transmission consumption, and charge efficiency is improved when therefore regenerating.
As mentioned above, in hybrid vehicle according to an embodiment of the invention, drive motor 21b is connected to reduction gear 69, promptly on the driven shaft 60.Therefore, can utilize reduction gear between toric transmission 23 and the trailing wheel WR with the power of drive motor 21b through slowing down and being delivered on the trailing wheel WR.Consider this point, be directly connected on the axle 68, between toric transmission 23 and trailing wheel WR, do not have the motor direct-type power unit of reduction gear to compare that it can obtain following effect with drive motor 21b.Especially, though the power that drive motor 21b produces under two kinds of situations equate, even finally will reduce,, so can prevent the increase of amount of parts because it needn't add extra reduction gear between toric transmission 23 and trailing wheel WR in the speed of a motor vehicle.On the other hand, when the power that finally passes to trailing wheel is divided equally, can further reduce the size of motor 21b.
Except above-mentioned structure, drive motor 21b is disposed in the opposite of reduction gear 60, and toric transmission 23 is clipped in the middle.Therefore, Ben Chong drive motor 21b and reduction gear 69 are separated on toric transmission 23 Widths (L-R direction).On a side of vehicle, drive motor 21b is disposed on the position of the line L that is higher than bent axle 22 and axle 68.Like this, the drive motor 21b of hybrid vehicle is---in general bigger---to be positioned on the higher position, and for sulky vehicle, drive motor 21b arranges like this, can make the vertical on the Width of vehicle of motor output shaft (driven shaft 60), purpose is in order to guarantee bigger angle of inclination.In addition, because motor output shaft is disposed in than on the more preceding position of axle 68, therefore can reduce the longitudinal length of vehicle.
In addition, in the present embodiment, can folk prescription power be delivered to the free-wheel clutch 44 of driven shaft 60 from toric transmission 23 by between toric transmission 23 and driven shaft 60, being provided with one, always be cut off to the transmission of power driving engine 20 sides from driven shaft 60 sides to ground.Therefore, when the regenerative drives that switches to from trailing wheel WR to drive motor 21b, except above-mentioned lock out operation no longer needs, owing to be delivered to the propulsive effort of drive motor 21b and consume without toric transmission 23 from trailing wheel WR in when generating, so charge efficiency is improved.In addition, when drive source only switches to drive source and is drive motor 21b for the state of driving engine 20, owing to no longer need a drive source blocked operation, and the power that is delivered to trailing wheel from drive motor 21b when only utilizing drive motor 21b to travel is used for driving toric transmission 23, therefore can improve energy transfer efficiency.In addition, because free-wheel clutch 44 is used as the unidirectional power driving device, even therefore use centrifugal clutch also can reduce the size of power unit 11.
Because the structure of drive motor 21b is an inner-rotor-type, and free-wheel clutch 44 is disposed in the inside of internal rotor 80, even therefore because specification need and make that inevitably the size of internal rotor 80 is bigger, also can effectively utilize its volume inside, also can reduce the size of this power unit 11 simultaneously.Because it is close with the spring 64 of pushing slave end movable sheave halfbody 62b on vehicle-width direction that toric transmission 23 is positioned to, thereby can effectively utilize near the dead band that occurs the spring 64, also can reduce the size of power unit 11.
