Hybrid traction system for vehicles
First Claim
1. Hybrid drive system for vehicles that comprises:
- A combustion engine (1) with an air input (9), an alternator (22) and a fuel tank (18);
A pneumatic compressed air motor (2) with an electro-pneumatic control valve (14), an air exhaust (8) and a compressed air tank (13);
A clutch (6) and a gearbox (7) for applying the drive of the combustion engine and pneumatic motor (1, 2) Characterised, in that this system additionally comprises;
A mechanical coupling device (3) for coupling/uncoupling the respective combustion engine (1) and pneumatic motor (2), so that the drive of both may be added together;
A pneumatic coupling device made up of a pneumatic tube (10), an electro-pneumatic valve (11) and an air filter (12) with an outlet to the outside, for connecting the air exhaust (8) of the pneumatic motor (2) to the air input (9) of the combustion engine (1), so that comburent surpercharging is provided to the said combustion engine (1); and
An electronic control unit (19) for governing said devices and items (1, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 22).

Abstract
The system consists in the connection of an engine and a motor, one as a combustion engine (1) and the other as a pneumatic motor (2), with this connection being made through a mechanical coupling (3) and, at once, through a pneumatic connection between the exhaust (8) of the pneumatic motor (2) and the input (9) of the combustion engine (1), including a control unit (19) which controls both the coupling (3) and the engine (1) and motor (2) and supplementary equipment associated to the latter. The pneumatic and mechanical coupling between both engine (1) and motor (2) provides comburent overfeeding to the combustion engine (1) and, at the same time, a sum of the drives provided by both engine and motor, with this sum of drives being applied to the pertinent clutch (6) of the system, in order to achieve a reduction in the consumption of the latter and greater power.
