20100286854 | DRIVING APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING VEHICLE FUEL EFFICIENCY - A driving apparatus for improving fuel efficiency of vehicle is provided. The driving apparatus includes an engine connected to a transmission system of the vehicle; a clutch connected to the engine for power engaging or disengaging with the engine; a generator connected to the clutch for power engaging or disengaging with the clutch; a control circuit electrically connected to the clutch and the generator; and a battery electrically connected to the control circuit, wherein when the engine is operating, the control circuit receives a signal to allow the battery to provide power to drive the generator; when the rotation speed of the generator reaches a threshold, the control circuit is activated to drive the clutch to engage the engine and the generator, interrupt power provided to drive the generator so that the generator is operated by the engine, and the generated power is stored through the control circuit to the battery. | 11-11-2010 |
20100311543 | APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING VEHICLE FUEL EFFICIENCY - An apparatus for improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle is provided, including an engine, a generator system and an air-conditioning system. The generator system and the air-conditioning system are connected respectively through transmission elements and a moveable first active transmission wheel and a second active transmission wheel on the engine core axis. A first clutch is placed between the crank shaft of the engine and the first active transmission wheel, and a second clutch is placed between the first active transmission wheel and the second active transmission wheel. Also, a control circuit is provided to control the operation of the first clutch and the second clutch, in order to control the driving and rotation of the first active transmission wheel and/or the second active transmission wheel. The control circuit further determines according to the signal whether power is provided directly to the generator system and further drives the air-conditioning system. | 12-09-2010 |
20110130929 | SMART ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM - A smart ETC system is provided. The smart ETC system includes a control circuit electrically connected to a battery, an ignition system, a vehicle speedometer, an ETC device, an automatic transmission, and a brake device. When a vehicle speed detector detects a vehicle speed lower than a predetermined value, the control circuit ignores a present gear, and outputs a neutral gear (N-gear) signal to an automatic transmission to shift the automatic transmission to an N-gear, and then instructs an ignition system of an engine to execute a switch-off instruction. Meanwhile, electric power consumed by all electric appliances is supplied by a battery. When the control circuit detects a signal indicating a battery level lower than a predetermined value, the control circuit outputs an instruction to the ignition system of the engine to restart the engine to charge the battery via a generator. | 06-02-2011 |
20110162900 | VEHICLE-USED COMPOSITE BRAKING/ACCELERATING SYSTEM - A vehicle-used composite braking/accelerating system is provided. In accordance with the composite braking/accelerating system, a movable motor is provided adjacent to a wheel of the vehicle. The movable motor is electrically connected to a control circuit and a battery. When the vehicle is moving and the moving vehicle is braked to decelerate, in which the driver of the vehicle slightly steps on the braking device, the control circuit instructs the movable motor to execute a generator function and drives the actuator to operate. The movable motor includes a coil member and a magnetic member. When the coil member and the magnetic member are correspondingly positioned and relatively rotated, the movable motor generates electrical energy, and saves the generated electrical energy into the battery. In such a way, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is transformed into electrical energy for saving the fuel consumption. | 07-07-2011 |
