Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A vehicle including a combustion engine, a belt alternator starter, and a decouplable accessory power take-off for auxiliary units, wherein the accessory power take-off includes, as auxiliary units, at least an air-conditioning compressor and an electric motor as belt alternator starter that is usable as a motor and as a generator, wherein a coupling and a decoupling of the accessory power take-off occurs by means of a form-fitting clutch, and wherein at a standstill of the combustion engine during a short stop phase, a stationary air-conditioning operation occurs by means of a reverse rotation of the auxiliary units, and wherein a starting of the combustion engine after the short stop phase occurs by means of a reversal of the direction of rotation of the electric motor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle comprising: a combustion engine; a belt alternator starter; and, a decouplable accessory power take-off for auxiliary units, wherein the accessory power take-off includes, as auxiliary units, at least an air-conditioning compressor and an electric motor as belt alternator starter that is usable as a motor and as a generator, wherein a coupling and a decoupling of the accessory power take-off occurs by means of a form-fitting clutch, and wherein at a standstill of the combustion engine during a short stop phase, a stationary air-conditioning operation occurs by means of a reverse rotation of the auxiliary units, and wherein a starting of the combustion engine after the short stop phase occurs by means of a reversal of the direction of rotation of the electric motor; wherein the coupling and the decoupling of the accessory power take-off occurs by means of a switchable pawl freewheel. 2. The vehicle recited in claim 1 , wherein the switchable pawl freewheel comprises: a switching device; and, at least one generator pawl switchable from a locking position to a freewheel position by means of the switching device. 3. The vehicle recited in claim 2 , wherein the switchable pawl freewheel comprises: a boost pawl that locks in a relative direction of rotation opposite a direction of rotation of the generator pawl. 4. The vehicle recited in claim 1 , wherein the belt alternator starter is combined with a pulley decoupler. 5. The vehicle recited in claim 1 , wherein a belt decoupler comprises a torsional vibration damper. 6. A method for operating the vehicle recited in claim 1 , wherein during the standstill of the combustion engine during the short stop phase, the stationary air-conditioning operation occurs by means of the reverse rotation of the auxiliary units, and wherein the starting of the combustion engine after the short stop phase occurs by means of the reversal of the direction of rotation of the electric motor. 7. The method recited in claim 6 , wherein a boost clutch is overrun in a freewheel-like way in the stationary air-conditioning operation. 8. The method recited in claim 6 , wherein a polarity of the electric motor, which is usable as a belt alternator starter, is changed when a start of the combustion engine is requested after the short stop phase. 9. The method recited in claim 7 , wherein a polarity of the electric motor, which is usable as a belt alternator starter, is changed when a start of the combustion engine is requested after the short stop phase. 10. The method recited in claim 8 , wherein a generator pawl is switched to its locking position after the start of the combustion engine. 11. The method recited in claim 9 , wherein a generator pawl is switched to its locking position after the start of the combustion engine.
