Electric Generator And Motor Drive System

View page
US Patent:
6717281, Apr 6, 2004
Filed:
Oct 26, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/697524
Inventors:
Dennis Brandon - Brentwood TN, 37027
Allan Flack - Franklin TN, 37067
International Classification:
B60K 600
US Classification:
290 40C, 180 652
Abstract:
A drive system which integrates an electric generator, one or more electric motors and an electronic control module is configured as a variable speed drive in either single, dual or four wheeled traction drive configurations for a vehicle. The generator is mechanically driven by the output shaft of an internal combustion engine to generate the electrical power for energizing the electric motors. A central computer in the electronic control module controls the output voltage of the generator and the speed and torque of each of the motors in the drive system. The speed input signal for the motors can be analog signals that come from sources such as a joystick, a potentiometer mounted on a steering wheel, control panel, foot pedal or remote location or digital signals from a digital device. Position/speed detectors on each motor and the generator send signals back to the central computer for closed-loop control of the generator and of the motors. The generator supplies the DC voltage to the power control board for each motor as commanded by the central computer.

20050029816, Feb 10, 2005
Filed:
Sep 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/937546
Inventors:
Dennis Brandon - Brentwood TN, US
Allan Flack - Franklin TN, US
International Classification:
H02P009/04
US Classification:
29004000C
Abstract:
A drive system which integrates an electric generator, one or more electric motors and an electronic control module is configured as a variable speed drive in either single, dual or four wheeled traction drive configurations for a mower. The generator is mechanically driven by the output shaft of an internal combustion engine to generate the electrical power for energizing the electric motors. A central computer in the electronic control module controls the output voltage of the generator and the speed and torque of each of the motors in the drive system. The speed input signal for the motors can be analog signals that come from sources such as a joystick, a potentiometer mounted on a steering wheel, control panel, foot pedal or remote location or digital signals from a digital device. Position/speed detectors on each motor and the generator send signals back to the central computer for closed-loop control of the generator and of the motors. The generator supplies the DC voltage to the power control board for each motor as commanded by the central computer. The rotor of each motor is connected to a gearbox for speed reduction and increased torque that is applied to the wheel mounted on the output shaft of the gearbox. When the motors are not being driven, the generator may optionally supply DC power to the input of an inverter that has an output to standard electric utility AC outlets that can be used to power auxiliary equipment.

US Patent:
6591593, Jul 15, 2003
Filed:
Oct 23, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/694646
Inventors:
Dennis Brandon - Brentwood TN, 37027
Allan Flack - Franklin TN, 37067
International Classification:
A01D 3464
US Classification:
56 106, 56 108
Abstract:
An electric riding mower which integrates an electric generator and inverter driven by an internal combustion engine, an operator/drive with an electric motor driving each of the two wheels and a mowing deck that has electric motors driving the cutting blades and a motor for raising/tilting the deck is disclosed. The generator is mechanically driven by the output shaft of an internal combustion engine to generate the electrical power for energizing the electric motors and the inverter. A computer in the master controller communicates with each of the controllers for the motors and the generator/inverter and processes the data necessary to co-ordinate the drives.
