Abstract:
The invention relates to a hybrid vehicle drive train comprising a heat engine (2) connected to a power distribution system (4) that distributes power over two paths, one path driving the driving wheels (22) of the vehicle via a mechanical transmission (14) and one path driving a hydraulic pump (10) that refills pressure accumulators (30, 32). The drive train (1) also comprises a hydraulic motor (24) which draws the fluid from the pressure accumulators in order to drive the driving wheels (22). The drive train is characterized in that it also includes an electric pump (34) which is connected to batteries (36), as well as to the pressure accumulators (30, 32) in order to refill said accumulators using power supplied by the batteries.
Abstract:
Vehicle, notably automotive vehicle, comprising a hybrid combustion engine/hydraulic power train (10) comprising a combustion engine (11), at least one hydraulic motor (13), a hydraulic pump (12) able to supply hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic motor, a mechanical transmission system of hydraulic origin (20) and a mechanical transmission system of thermal origin (40) comprising a primary combustion power shaft, separate from the combustion engine shaft, coupled to the combustion engine, and a power distributor (30) coupled between the shaft of the combustion engine, the primary combustion power shaft and the pump shaft, the shaft of the combustion engine, the primary combustion power shaft and the pump shaft being coaxial.
