ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a regenerative braking system for an automotive vehicle. The system includes a regenerative braking device and an electronic control therefor. The regenerative device includes a transmission assembly and an energy storage assembly. The transmission assembly includes first and second power paths operative, respectively, when actuated to effect the flow of energy to and from the storage assembly. The storage assembly includes a plurality of cylindrical rubber bars which are torsionally stressed via the first path during vehicle braking and drained of the torsional stress via the second path during vehicle acceleration. The control includes means for preventing simultaneous transmission of braking and driving signals, means to modulate the actuation duty cycle of the first path for controlling braking torque provided by the storage assembly, means to modulate the actuation duty cycle of the second path for controlling the driving torque provided by the storage assembly, means to actuate the vehicle wheel brakes when the storage assembly cannot provide the braking torque demanded, and means to actuate the vehicle prime mover when the storage cannot provide the driving torque demanded.
