CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PTO EQUIPMENT ON A VEHICLE WITH A HYBRID-ELECTRIC DRIVETRAIN.

摘要

A power take off system for a hybrid-electric vehicle comprises an internal combustion engine (2), a hybrid-electric motor and generator (3), a power take off mechanism (4), a hybrid control module (17), and an engaging mechanism (27). The hybrid-electric motor and generator (3) couples to the internal combustion engine (2). The power take off mechanism (4) couples to the internal combustion engine (2) and the hybrid-electric motor and generator (3). The power take off mechanism (4) receives torque from at least one of the internal combustion engine (2) and the hybrid-electric motor and generator (3). The hybrid control module (17) is disposed in electrical communication with an electronic system controller (15). The hybrid control module (17) generates output signals for controlling the internal combustion engine (2). The engaging mechanism (27) is disposed in electrical communication with the electronic system controller (15). In a first mode of the engaging mechanism (27), the power take off mechanism is decoupled from the internal combustion engine (2) and the hybrid-electric motor and generator (3) in response to an output signal generated by the electronic system controller (15).
