BACKGROUND

Current automotive electric vehicles have limited travel distance on a single charge resulting from the design of charge & go technology, where electrical vehicle drains the battery by the consumption of the driving motors. Typically, an average of 200 to 300 miles range on a single charge is achieved. Then the driver will have to stop and charge high voltage batteries. Currently electrical vehicle systems have a high voltage wired plug to charge batteries. Typical current charge period is about 30-60 minutes, and the customer has to pay for faster inductive charge rates.


Our URD system eliminates charging waiting period and provides unlimited miles drive rang. Also, our URD system provides a high voltage wireless charging port that makes life easy and convenient to charge an electrical vehicle at home.

Our system describes Unlimited Range Drive (URD) capabilities of an electrical automotive vehicle using machine learning technique, assisted by newly invented intelligent battery modules (IBM-R, IBM-D/R) and high voltage continuous variable power plant (CVPP), our intelligent battery and power plant modules work in harmony and continuously provide feedback to each other, causing a high voltage battery to recharge while other high voltage battery is in use to drive a vehicle, this charging/recharging process and dynamically switching high voltage battery in use is continue until physical life of batteries is exhausted which may be 10 to 15 years, dynamic coordination of newly invented modules with dynamic switching of battery in use achieve Unlimited Range Drive (URD) capabilities which may exceed more than 1 million miles drive on a single high voltage battery charge, our URD system provides clean environment and cost effective more than 1 million miles drive solution.


OVERVIEW OF THE URD SYSTEM

With our URD system we can reach unlimited miles on a single charge, by alternating the use of both batteries individually when driving long distance. Our concept will consist of two individual, electric vehicle high voltage battery (HV) set up, working independently to extend a distance of travel. It will consist of one drive motor, one (CVPP) with dedicated generator, two lithium battery units or newly designed solid-state batteries to save weight and space. Batteries with possible range capabilities of 300+ miles each working together can achieve unlimited range by alternating battery assembly 103 and 104 when driving in URD mode. Unlimited range depends on battery type, physical and environmental condition of batteries and battery shelf-life, which can be from 10 years to 15 years or more. A continuation of the operational flow describing the URD operation is detailed in FIG. 26.

Detailed Description of Heavy Duty Application (HD-URD)
Embodiment 2

as stated in original URD designs the dual electric drive motors, mated to the two rear drive axles. Drive axle one will be directly powered by one heavy duty dual drive electric motor 1206. Drive axle two will have power distributed to the rear axle wheels via conventional ring and pinion super duty electric differential 1208 which receives its power from the second super duty drive motor 1207.


in heavy duty applications, URD design will be comprised of; CVPP 1201 mounted at front axle working in conjunction with IBM-R 1202 and heavy-duty drive motor 1206. Two, LI or SSB high voltage DC battery packs 1203 and 1204 with 24-volt integration. And a conventional ring and pinion super duty electronic differential 1208 with power being provided by super duty drive motor 1207.


In FIG. 12 Drive motor will achieve its standard capable range of 300 or more miles by consuming its fully charged battery assembly 1203, the battery assembly 1204 is being charged or maintained until battery 1203 reaches its lowest state of charge. With around 10% battery charge remaining our URD system Intelligent Battery Module Recharge (IBM-R) 1202 will automatically engage seamlessly battery 1204 to continue driving the heavy-duty vehicle as charging process for the next 300 miles more or less, with about 3 hours of continuous charging at ranges of driving between 35 to 65 miles an hour. This process will repeat itself until the physical life of the batteries is achieved, this makes our invention as an unlimited range drive (URD) system.


At local speeds below 35 mph (1 to 35 mph) front installed continuous variable continuous variable power plant (CVPP) 1201 will adjust recharge rate of internal power source by adjusting its gear ratios and allowing higher charging rates at lower speeds. One such example being, when vehicle speed is at 10 mph the gear ratios will set to continue re-generating the energy at higher RPM through its electrical source, this way CVPP 1201 continuously adjust higher charging to lower vehicle speeds, at higher vehicle speeds the CVPP 1201 will adjust its gear ratio to provide lower RPM to its power source.


Depending on the batteries state of charge, the IBM-R 1202 will determine the needed output of the CVPP 1201 and control the ratio of the CVPP gearing assembly. The batteries charging and discharging information is transmitted to the dashboard 1211 through Bluetooth communication module which integrated with 1202.

Furthermore, the third drive axle setup which includes super duty drive motor 1207 and super duty E-differential 1208 allows total disconnection of drive axle three when tractor unit is in use by itself with no semi-trailer (cargo load). This is achieved by way of high voltage electrical disconnection commanded by IBM-D/R 1205. The tractor unit would be solely driven by drive axle two and its heavy-duty dual drive motor 1206 with recharge capabilities from the front mounted HD-CVPP. The advantage of disconnecting axle three logic is to reduce coefficient of drag in the driveline and to reduce energy consumption. In comparison to the combined assemblies which define the HD-CVPP, the SD-DDM of FIG. 15 will be combined with the E-Differential of FIG. 16 to create the new component, identified as the Electronic Power Differential (EPD) of FIG. 21 through FIG. 24.

CVPP dynamically adjusts gearing to provide necessary rotational output to the built-in generator assembly to produce electricity to charge system batteries. Linked to the drive axles, the CVPP drive shaft input 904 is rotated to gear mechanism inside the CVPP shell 901. The continuous variable power plant gearing 902 are rotated to change gear ratio of the assembly, to create a movement to the generator stator and finally produce electricity. Part of our URD system, cooling down of the system is performed by feeding cooled water through the watery delivery pipe 130. Rpm conversion mechanism 905 is composed of different size gears to provide different ratios of rotational movement of the generator shaft. Communication line 111 to IBM 105 provide and receives commands to adjust the rotational speed requirements of the stator inside the generator. Electrical circuit board 907 is responsible for providing communication of the CVPP to intelligent battery module 105. Stator shaft 906 when in rotation produces an inductive electrical field to produce three phase high voltage electricity. Three phase high voltage electricity is carried by the three phase high voltage cables 125. 903 represent the electrical source area of the CVPP assembly harvested by 908 assembly hardware. Newly created CVPP design eliminates the necessity to stop to recharge your HV vehicle battery or batteries.


With the addition CVPP to all vehicle chassis from light economy vehicle to light duty trucks, semi-truck trailers, autonomous vehicles and finally electric vehicle (EV) race cars. The robust HV recharge capabilities of the CVPP are highly adaptable. The CVPP can be built to suit the demand for recharge requirements under high load capacities and high energy consumption units; to EV race systems that demand high recharge rates for shorter periods of time. The CVPP intention can be coupled to other electric vehicle chassis and drive line designs, for example usage for rear wheel drive and/or front wheel drive.
