DRIVE SYSTEM OPERATED BY MUSCLE-POWER

摘要

An electric drive system ( 1 ) operated by muscle power for a vehicle ( 2 ) includes a foot pedal ( 5 ) and a mechanical generator ( 6 ) mechanically connected to the foot pedal. The drive system also includes an electric transmission ( 4 ) and an electric control system ( 20 ) with a control program ( 21 ) of the generator, which is able to generate a counter or load moment (GM). The drive system also includes a starting control system ( 22 ) for the generator, by means of which a standstill pedal resistance (TW) and a high starting moment (MA) is produced at the foot pedal. When used in a stationary training apparatus ( 3 ), the drive system includes a motor operation control system ( 23 ) with a bi-directional converter ( 31 ), by means of which the generator is also able to be operated as a motor.
