Deceleration energy recovery apparatus for vehicle
Abstract
Abstract PURPOSE:To perform reacceleration without shock by functioning a pump/motor as a pump under deceleration where brake operation will exceed over specific level and turning off a clutch while providing a pseudo signal to fuel feeder upon droppage of brake operation below specific level. CONSTITUTION:Under deceleration where operating amount of brake 6 will exceed over specific level, the pump/motor 16 will function as a pump while a clutch 2 is turned off to accumulate the working oil under idle condition. While upon droppage of braking amount below specific level, control means 64 will provide pseudo signals to fuel feeders 86, 84 to increment fuel supply thus to increase the engine 1 rotation and to turn off the clutch 2 upon reaching to synchronous rotation of clutch. While when starting, the pump/motor 16 is driven as a motor through the accumulated pressure to transmit to the wheel. In such a manner, fuel consumption can be improved while impact can be reduced when accelerating again.
