All electric motor vehicle

Abstract

An improved battery powered four wheel multi-speed all electric motor car, used to move personnel and powered by two multi-wound electric motors connected in tandem so that by engaging the controls three speeds may be achieved. The forward and reverse of the vehicle is accomplished by moving a forward and reverse switch before staring the vehicle by engaging the operating switch. The electrical supply for the vehicle is furnished by batteries charged by a standby rectifier when vehicle is not in use and with solar panel and fuel cell interfacing during daytime operation and the quick removable batteries and hydrogen tanks at exchange stations, if desired by the operator of the vehicle, adds to the uniqueness of our invention by adding to the art of unlimited speed and distance. The interchangeable system of the batteries and the hydrogen tanks on travel routes and the ease which these components can be installed, removed from and replaced in our motor car adds to the many aptitudes of this motor car and to its uniqueness.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The specific field of this Invention is an all-electric car, resembling the size and shape of most of the modern cars and other contemporary vehicles. There is presently no method in the art which would allow for the higher and greater travel distance as our vehicle and the low current consumption characteristics make our invention very desirable in solving the pollution problem and at the same time it is very sound environmentally and the fuel supply problem does not exist with our invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Our invention is a battery powered multi-speed four-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying passengers for significantly greater distance than that previously practiced in the arts; indeed, the nonpolluting advantage of this invention outweighs those of competing vehicles powered in whole or in part by engines consuming diesel, alcohol or gasoline.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0003] The accompanying drawings show an embodiment of our invention and modification of a side view of the longitudinal Section and a back elevation view of that section.

[0004] The longitudinal view shows the two motors connected with three manually adjustable plates. The batteries and the motors are supported by channel iron/steel.

[0005] A schematic drawing (FIG. 3) showing connection and interconnection showing the rectifier (9), selector switch (10), three pole disconnect switch (11), battery (12), fuel cell (13), polarized receptacle (14), polarized attachment cap (15), forward and reverse switch (16).

[0006] The drawing in FIG. 4 shows a three position low, medium and high speed with normally closed and nor open interlocks contained in the transition relay (13).

[0007] The drawing in FIG. 5 shows the interlocking at three speed positions repeating the interlocking shown on drawing it FIG. 4 with the symbols list defining the components in the FIG. 5 drawing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

[0008] For a better understanding of the nature and object of our invention reference may be taken of the following detailed description of the drawing of the embodiment.

[0009] FIG. 1 shows two motors (1) and (2) mounted and hooked-up in tandem with three connecting plates and a mounting channel (7) common to both motors 1 and 2 and the quick removable and exchangeable batteries (3) mounted above the motors. This view indicates a two wheel and four wheel drive configuration by adjustments to the manually adjustment plates. FIG. 2 is a side view of FIG. 1 and shows two motors mounted in tandem with a shaft and three connecting plates (4, 5, 6). Two banks of baubles (3) mounted on a supporting channel bolted directly to the chassis of the vehicle. A solar panel (8) is shown on top of the roof of the vehicle. FIG. 3 is a schematic of the control system setting with a rectifier (9) connected by a polarized receptacle (14) with a polarized cap (15). A solar panel (8) is shown hard wire connected by Bus L1 and L2 and a selector switch (10), which connects into the transition relay (13) and a forward-reverse switch (16). The quick removable batteries in FIG. 1 mounted above the motors plug and lock into a power bus to facilitate quick removal at exchange stations in exchange for fully charges batteries and/or hydrogen tanks in connection with the fuel cell system.

Sequence of Manual Operation

Position 1

[0010] The closing of the two pole switch L1-L2, and placing the selector switch in the manual “low” position will cause motor contractors M1 and M2 to become energized through the normally closed (N.C.) interlocks 1, 3 and 5, hence the two series motors are connected in a series connection.

Position 2

[0011] To reach a higher medium speed from the number 1 lower speed position, move the selector switch to the “medium” speed position re-energizing motor contractors M1 and M2 through the normally closed interlocks 6 and 10 and the normally open interlocks 7 and 9, hence two series motors connected in parallel.

Position 3

[0012] To reach a higher speed, from the medium speed position, the selector switch is moved to the “high” position re-energizing motor contractors M1 and M2 through the following normally closed interlocks: 1, 14 and 16; and, the following normally open interlocks 12, 13, 15 and 17, and energizing the shunt fields in both M1 and M2 thus changing these two motors to compound motors which remain in a parallel connection.

Claims

1. An all electric motor car powered by two electric motors mounted on the drive shaft in tandem the electric energy to which is supplied by battery fuel cells and solar panels with basic electrical motor connections in sequence with two series motors connected one-to-the other in series connections followed by a parallel connection of the two motors and then followed by an energized shunt field creating compound motors resulting in three speeds in sequential order.

2. An all electric motorized car described in claim 1 above but with two motors mounted in tandem on rear axel of the motor car.

3. An all electric motorized car described in claim 1 above but having only one (1) motor with a shunt field winding included in the series motor accordingly accomplishing the same results as claim one (1) above without the two series connections of the two motors one-to-the-other and hence a compound motor connection.

4. A battery and tank exchange system in which fully charged batteries and/or hydrogen tanks can be exchanged at designated stations en route for depleted ones of universal design and which are mutually interchangeable on line-of-road and the system being completely compatible with claim number 1, 2 and 3.
