Abstract
A method for the transmission of electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic energy between a first vehicle and a second vehicle, coupled thereto, for example a tractor vehicle and a trailer and an energy transmission system. The aim of the invention is development of a method and an energy transmission system permitting an operationally-secure driving condition over a long period even with a partly or completely damaged plug coupling system. Said aim is achieved by means of, amongst other things, a method whereby the energy in the energy distribution line is introduced from the energy supply line in a controlled manner.
Claims18
A method for transmitting electric, pneumatic or hydraulic energy between a first vehicle and a second vehicle coupled to the former, comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one energy supply trunk arranged on the first vehicle, providing at least one energy distribution trunk arranged on the second vehicle, wherein the energy distribution trunk
- is connected to consumers,
- is connected to the energy supply trunk via a plug-in coupling system,
- has an energy storage device and,
- feeding the energy in a regulated manner into the energy distribution trunk from the energy supply trunk, wherein the energy present in the energy distribution trunk is measured and compared to a predetermined control variable, a setting signal is generated and transmitted to an actuator arranged on the energy supply trunk.
An energy transmission system for transmitting electric, pneumatic or hydraulic energy between a first vehicle and a second vehicle, comprising:
- at least one energy supply trunk arranged on the first vehicle and at least one energy distribution trunk arranged on the second vehicle, wherein the energy distribution trunk
- is connected to consumers,
- can be connected to the energy supply trunk via a plug-in coupling system,
- has an energy storage device, and
- wherein the energy supply trunk and the energy distribution trunk form an automatic control circuit, and wherein the energy distribution trunk includes a measuring instrument and the energy supply trunk an actuator, which receives a setting signal from a communication device connected to the measuring instrument.
