TRANSPORT VEHICLE ENGINE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: engines of transport vehicles, namely gear-driven engines, possibly used at automobile making and in other industry branches.

SUBSTANCE: engine includes drive unit for each wheel and electric steering device; it is provided with expansion chamber, electronic control circuit, two reservoirs with oil level pickups connected through controlled switch with expansion chamber that is connected with nitrogen source. Engine also includes plunger type switch of inlet and outlet of oil flow; said switch is joined through pipes with upper parts of reservoirs that are mutually connected through pipes. In order to drive and to brake wheels, gear-driven engines having electrically controlled valves and by-pass paths with valves are used. Said engines are connected with reservoirs by means of pipes through reversing device. Liquefied nitrogen source, electric steering device, wheel revolution number pickups and oil level pickups are connected by means of electronic control circuit providing change of power and wheel torque with electrically controlled valves of engines and with controlled switches of expansion chamber.

EFFECT: simplified design, enhanced operational reliability and safety, improved ecology and effectiveness.
