Abstract
The present invention has the objective of reducing polluting emissions and saving energy costs per kilometer traveled compared to vehicles that only have internal combustion engines. refers to the integration of an electric drive system in vehicles with an internal combustion engine propulsion system to convert it to a Hybrid Converted Vehicle, and is based on a kit already configured based on the weight, autonomy and speed available for installation.
Description
FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this report, refers to vehicles that must have integrated for their drivers: an internal combustion engine and an electric motor-in the automotive context-this means, that the converted car is moved by both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. Two driver systems can work independently or simultaneously to rotate the drive wheels to reduce polluting emissions and save energy costs per traveled kilometer compared to vehicles that only have internal combustion engines.


OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION

The invention has the following objectives:

    • 1. Reduction or elimination of polluting emissions into the atmosphere in transfers in which traffic density significantly reduces the average speed up to almost one revolution of the wheel.
    • 2. Reduction or elimination of energy consumption in frequent stops that cause the vehicle cannot move due to traffic density.
    • 3. Optimize the space available in a Vehicle with a Propulsion System with an Internal Combustion Engine so that the Electric Propulsion System can be integrated to convert it into a Hybrid


Vehicles with an Internal Combustion Engine Propulsion System have an efficiency of 25%, with losses: through the cooling system at 33%, through exhaust pipes at 31% and losses due to friction at 11% and Vehicles with an Electric Propulsion System have an efficiency of up to 95%.


The objectives are achieved, according to the invention, using the characteristics indicated in the claim.


BACKGROUND

Due to the problems that electric vehicles have, the limited energy currently obtained from batteries and their limitation in terms of speed, autonomy, and prohibitive cost, hybrid cars are the ones that offer a more satisfactory compromise solution.


“Hybrid” cars are those that use an electric motor and an internal combustion engine to do their jobs. By using the combustion engine to recharge the batteries, fewer batteries are needed, so the overall vehicle's weight is lower as the combustion engine is usually small.


Hybrid vehicles are equipped with internal combustion engines, designed to operate at maximum efficiency. If more power is generated than necessary, the electric motor is used as a generator and charges the system's batteries. In other situations, only the electric motor operates, feeding on the energy stored in the battery. In some hybrids, it is possible to recover kinetic energy when braking, which is usually dissipated as heat in the brakes, converting it into electrical energy. These types of brakes are often called regenerative.


There are 3 known hybrid propulsion systems for vehicles:

    • 1) Serial hybrid. In these models, the traction is always electric. The combustion engine (also called thermal) has no mechanical connection to the wheels, it is only used to generate electricity, either by charging the batteries or supplying the power directly to the electric motor.
    • 2) Parallel hybrid. In this case, the heat engine is the main source of energy. The electric motor acts as a backup to the system, providing more power when the system needs it.
    • 3) Combined hybrid: This type of vehicle allows you to operate in both gasoline and electric mode or a combination of both. The electric motor works alone at low speeds, especially over short distances.


At higher speeds, the combustion engine and electric motor work at the same time. This mode combines the fuel economy and low emission benefits of a series hybrid with the acceleration of a parallel hybrid


Apart from this general classification, we find another type of car: plug-in hybrids (PHEV). Unlike conventional hybrids, these vehicles can recharge the batteries by connecting to the power grid.


Therefore, they can also be classified according to the charge of the batteries:

    • a). Regular: They are recharged by the normal operation of the vehicle
    • b). Plug-ins can be recharged by connecting to the mains.
